The Forecast
In the course of time, our at
t ntion may bo drawn to a par
ticular pilot whose pattern of
flying indicates he has not long
to live. In order to protect the
public, it is our job to try to
correct him before lie kills
someone, or else to keep him out
of the air entirely.
The Problem
Frequently, a person of this
type does not respond to educa
tional core clive efforts. He has
a supreme confidence in himself,
which from a technical point of
view is often justified. He also
knows that no disciplinary ac
tion can be taken unless tin re is
f
clear evidence of specific viola
tions of the Civil Air Regula
tions. We know lie knows this,
and must try to plug along as
best we can in an effort to ob
tain sufficient clear evidence
of his carelessness to warrant a
suspension or revocation of 11is
pilot certificate by tlit* CAB.
In the meantime it almost
seems that his death warrant has
been signed. By the time a group
of observers agrees upon his fin
al fate, he has very little chance
of surviving for long.
The Tragedy
There is the tragedy of his
nimbl'e-wittcd avoidance of be
ing caught red-handed in a vio
lation of the regulations.
There is the tragedy of the
completely natural, but mis
guided covering up by his home
town friends who refuse to testi
fy to his unsafe flying.

Alaska's Woman
Senator Seeks
Auditor Office
Anita Garnick, of Juneau, the
lirst and only woman in the ter
ritory to hold the title of senator
in tin? Alaska Legislature is Re
publican candidate for the office
of territorial auditor. She served
three terms as senator and one
term in the House as representa
tive of the First Division. She
is opposed by Albert E. Goetz,
Republican of Douglas, and two
Democrats, Neil F. Moore, in
cumbent of Juneau, and R. E.
Sheldon of Fairbanks.
Miss Garnick has long been
a strong labor advocate. She was
responsible for the act which
created a public retirement sys
t. m for public employes in Al
aska. She also advocated equal
pay for female employes and has
home town friend who places
his trust in the* pilot’s ego and
is killed with him.
An aviation safety agent is
not out to ‘‘get’’ somebody like
that. He has a deep and profes
sional concern for the very life
of some passenger who may be
with the pilot on his final flight.
He has cone rn for the pilot him
self, and would far rather ■•sell"
him on the probable outcome
resulting from his behavior, if
lie only could.
The Point
It requires diplomacy, and we
may lack it. It requires insight
and percent ion. and we may fail
in it. But this wo know: our
failure may cost the pilot his
life. We are not h ckling, we
are trying to correct something
dangerous to the pilot and the
public. When the pilot is mis
guid ci. he needs our help, and
real help from all his friends.
