Bob Hope Starts
Second Decade
On GI Circuit
HOLLYWOOD, (/P)—Bob Hope
next week begins his second dec
ade on the GI circuit and wonders
if the army will promote him.
“I still have the same rank I
had in the last war,” Hope
moaned today. “Chicken, First
Class.”
Bob cannot remember how
many shows he has put on for
servicemen in every corner and
battlefield of the world since
starting out months before Pearl
Harbor.
For instance, the notation on
his record for the summer of 1943
shows only “English tour.”
The number of shows? Who
knows?
Hope has logged nearly 2,000,
000 miles, mostly by air, in the
^ ten years—and at personal sac
rifice. In 1949, he planned to
spend his first Christmas in years
at home with his wife, Dolores,
and their four children. A gen
eral wrote Bob of the lonely
Christmas in prospect for the GI’s
in Alaska. Bob, Mrs. Hope and
the two older children went to
Alaska.
“My kids never really had a
white Christmas before,” com
• mented Hope.

Ketchikan Doctor Saves
Infant Daughter's Life |
SEATTLE, (/P) — Twenty-two
month-old Margaret Salazar was
alive and well today, thanks to
the skill of her physician-father,
Dr. Louis Salazar of Seattle and
Ketchikan, Alaska.
Dr. Salazar answered his wife’s
frantic cries and rushed to the
kitchen of their home to find her
working over the unconscious
form of Mary Margaret, plucked
only moments before from a nei
ghbor’s backyard fishpond.
While Mrs. Salazar summoned
firemen, the doctor applied arti
ficial respiration. By the time
firemen arrived, Mary Margaret
was breathing again.
Dr. Salazar who practices at
Ketchikan, is in Seattle to visit
two other children at St. Mary’s
Academy near Chehalis, and a
; son at Gonzaga High School in

1951 Model Pilot
i Flys 1931 Model
[Savoia Marehetti
! HOUSTON, Tex., UP)—An Air
Force major and his 80-pound dog
landed at the municipal airport
Friday in a plane that looked like
it had been built by Rube Gold
berg and Orville Wright.
Major Ewell K. Nold, 31, and
his 8-year-old Alaskan mongrel,
Tworeel, are flying from Cam
den, N.J., to El Salvador in a re
conditioned, 125 horsepower Sa
voia Marehetti that was built in
1931.
The arrival erf the open cockpit
antique caused more stir among
the field mechanics and pilots than
if Major Nold had buzzed in fly
ing one of the jet B-47’s he flies
while on duty.
Major Nold and Tworeel are de
livering the Savoia Marehetti to
a friend, Archibald Baldocchi, a
coffee planter in El Salvador.
The trip, Nold related, has not
been without excitement thus far.
Starting from Camden Tuesday,
the major, who is accustomed to
idling along at 600 miles an hour,
streaked down to Houston with an
average of around 70 miles an
hour.
“Coming into New Orleans,” he
said, “the gas feed fouled up and
I had to make o forced landing
on Lake Pontchartrain—with the
wheels down.
“We hit the water about 100
yards from shore and nosed un
der. Tworeel was out of the
plane and swimming almost be
fore we struck the water. The
plane, of course, was swamped
and all my clothes soaked, but
we stayed afloat and drifted in.”
The accident broke a wing spar
and Major Nold is going to pause j
in Houston long enough to repair
the damage.
“I need some rest,” he declared. ;
“I’ll be vibrating for weeks.”

WASHINGTON, (&)—The Fish

An analysis by Ralph Russell,

Although this would take ap
