MAYSV1LLE, Okla., Aug. 17, —
Home-folk in the father’s small

I think the best place is right here
at home said the gray-haired W. F.

in the yard where it’s shady.”
The decision was made after Mrs.
Wiley Post arrived to learn what
his parents wished on the funeral.
She assured them that their wish
es would go unquestioned. The bur
tal will be at Oklahoma City. The
elder Post, after conferring with his
sobbing wife, murmured ‘we may
not be here for always and we
would like to know that his grave
will never go untended.”

N. A. T. Planes Set
Record On Special
Flight To Seattle
_
(Continued From Page One)
' headed for Ruby where they took
on more gas and proceeded to Fair
banks, landing there at 11:45 Satur
day morning, completing one of the
most remarkable trips for fast time
ever recorded to our knowledge.
Another N AT Plane Brought Out of
Fairbanks Hangar. Ready for
Non-Stop to Seattle
Manager Vic Ross of the NAT, and
Chief Pilot Noel Wien had another
Bellanca plane gassed up and engine
| turning over before Pilot Brown's
arrival and after just long enough
time for Lomen to cat a sandwich,
the NAT plane piloted by both Wien
and Ross, carrying Lomen and the
pictures, hopped off from Fairbanks
at 2:10 PM, Saturday, enroute to
Seattle. They stopped at White
Horse, Canadian Yukon Territory,
for clearance papers and loaded gas
enough to take them on a non-stop
flight from there to Seattle. The
plane speeded thru the night at a
high altitude over the Canadian rock
ies, both pilots Wien and Ross reliev
ing one another at the dual controls.
Evidently fair weather greeted them
as their efforts to land Lomen and
his pictures at Seattle were reward
ed by the plane landing at Seattle
at 1:50 PM Sunday, August 18th,
thus establishing what is believed to
be another record between Fair
banks and Seattle.
Airplane Race to Seattle
Pilot Joe Crosson of the PAA who
left Barrow at 1 AM, Saturday,with
a Fairchild pontoon plane, which
carried the bodies of Post and Rog
ers and also pictures of the disaster,
arrived at Fairbanks at 7 AM the
same morning. Pilot Brown states
that the PAA dispatched a pontoon
plane from Fairbanks to Seattle via
Juneau two hours after the NAT
plane had taken off with pictures,
and another plane of the PAA, a
Lockheed Electra, left Fairbanks at
6 AM, Sunday with the bodies of
Post and Rogers, and it was believ
ed, also pictures.
To the Northern Air Transport
personnel—Aviators Chester Brown,
Noel Wien and Hank Miller mechan
ic, together with the management of
the spectacular operation, Manager
Vic Ross, goes the credit of winning
a modern-day race with pictures of
the Post-Rogers crackup, from Bar
row to Seattle.

Capital Recalls
Gibes Of Rogers
Against Politicians
r
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19, —The
Capital, although saddened could
not help but smiling as everyone
recalled the jokes and cheery gibes
with which the cowboy philosopher
won a high place in officialdom.
Wherever legislators gathered, ex
pressions of bereavement could be
heard. Ejaculations such as ‘two
gallant gentlemen are gone—Rogers
the world’s greatest humorist and
Post one of the greatest aviators.”
