into waves in view of hundreds
of persons on the beach.

plane. Coast Cxuard planes rescued
four of the survivors and two
others were picked up by Navy
ships. All are reported recovering.

Navy Accepts Red Attack
On Patrol Bomber As
Operational Hazard of War
WASHINGTON, Iff) - T h e
Navy has accepted the Commun
ist jet fighter attack on one of
its patrol planes over the Yellow
Sea as an operational hazard of
the Korean war which is unlikely
to prompt any diplomatic pro
tests, from the U.S. at least.
Naval officials in expressing
this view Tuesday pointed out
that American patrol planes and
a squadron of British Navy fly
ing boats have flown about 12,000
sorties over the approaches to
Korea and the not distant shores
of China since the outbreak of
hostilities in northeast Asia.
The Navy early recognized that
the business of patrolling the
Yellow Sea works both ways. Ten
days before Allied warships be
gan the Inchon landing bombard
ment a Russian bomber flew over
a United Nations naval formation.
After the Red-star marked plane
refused to be warned off and
actually opened fire it was shot
down by U.S. Naval aircraft. One
of its occupants was picked up
out of the Yellow Sea, dead and
identified by name and serial
number as a lieutenant in the
Russian air force.

CAA Names New York
To-Los Angeles Skyway
In Honor of Will Rogers
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The Civil
Aeronautics Administration Wed
nesday announced the naming of
a New York-to-Los Angeles sky
way for the late Will Rogers.
The route, 40 miles wide and
2,500 miles long, crosses Rogers’
home state of Oklahoma—and his
hometown—Claremore.
The nation’s 24 skyways are
routes charted by the CAA for
light plane pilots navigating by
sight. They provide the best ter
rain between major cities. The
routes are being marked through
the display of names of towns on
prominent roofs, and through roof
symbols pointing to nearby air
ports.
“We are designating the Will
Rogers Skyway not only in recog
nation of the great humorist’s in
terest in air marking but because
of his many contributions to avia
tion,” Charles F. Ho'rne, CAA ad
ministrator, said in announcing
the new skyway.
Ironically, Rogers was killed in
a private plane crash with Wiley
Post, famed pilot, in Alaska on
Aug. 15, 1935.
Alaska Restaurants Will
Be Permitted Raise Prices
JIUNEAU — Restaurant opera
tors in Alaska will be permitted
to raise their meal prices to effset
certain increased food and labor
costs, Fred G. Hanford, territorial
director of the Office of Price
Stabilization, said recently.
Restaurant prices have been
frozen since January. Since that
time, Hanford said, it has been
shown that food and labor costs
have gone up to the extent that
many of Alaska’s restaurant op
erators are suffering a hardship.
Action was delayed on the many
requests from restaurant owners
for relief, Hanford said, so that
studies could be made of the ac
tual amount of increases in food
and wages.
To take care of food cost in- '
4
creases, the restaurant owner may
use the following method:
He may figure his food-cost-per
dollar of sales for the period of
January-February-March, 1952. If
this ratio is higher than the ratio
he had during his original base
period under the old CPR-11, he
may readjust his meal prices to
restore his normal food-cost ratio.
