Lindbergh at 61
(From the Seattle P-I>
By HENRY J. TAYLOR
What’s happened to Lindergh?
Few could answer. But any
chief airman anywhere could tell
you. He has never, to this moment,
stopped playing his part in the
great forward thrust of aviation.
“Lone Eagle’ Charles A. Lind
bergh, dropped like phantom from
public view, still rides at our side
all over the world. And when
Americans start to fly 1,450 miles
an hour, “Lucky Lindy’ will first
have to say “O-K.”
Hard-pressed by the tick of the
workaday clock, everlastingly
tireless. Lindbergh has held the
same, single, high job for a solid
35 years: Technical Consultant to
Pan American World Airways. His
present responsibility, for example,
is to help to see that we can safely
fly from New York to London or
visa versa in one and one-half
hours.
In all these years his firm has
never flown an aircraft that Lind
bergh did not first approve.
A feature of the new Franco
British Concorde supersonic jet,
on order, worries him now. It’s
the windows. This giant will travel
twice as fast as the speed of sound.
And major U.S. airframe and air
craft engine companies are point
ing toward a jet even 50 per cent
faster.
That giant would carry 200
people 2.000 miles per hour. And
with the terrible air-friction at
t' ose speeds the entire airplane
will be glowing. The red-hot alloy
surface will be radiant in the
ghastly look of a hurtling furnace.
Lindbergh asks the effect on pas
sengers staring out the windows:
a frightening sight to many. And
he’s wisely proposing to recom
mend no window's. Purely a psy
chological decision. But why not?
Paying twro cents an acre, Secre
tary of State William Sewrard
bought all Alaska from the Rus
sians ($7.2 million) for about half

the estimated cost of one of these
planes. But what is the effect now
of such a craft on a “remote” place
like our 49th State?
Fairbanks to New York, Wash
ington or Miami — all the same:
2Vi hours. To Chicago: 2 hours.
To San Francisco: 1 hour 42 min
utes. To Manila: 4 hours as against
11 today. To Copenhagen: 3 hours
compared to today. Tokyo
would be just six minutes further
away than New York and Alas
kans will be able to visit Mos
cow in three hours flat.
Yet, less than 40 years ago the
first air-mail contract that was let
in Alaska competed with dog
sleds. The plane flew from Fair
banks to McGrath in three hours.
The sleds took 17 days. Soon in
those same three hours Fairbanks
folks will be able to fly to Paris.
There are no distances any more
except in men’s minds.
But all is not as rosy as the
glow of the jets, of course. Civil
Aeronautics Board Chairman Alan
S. Boyd, for one, claims the super
sonics threaten new economic mis
ery for our long-range airlines.
Meanwhile, “Lucky Lindy” in
tends to take a brief breather. He
has never been to Saudi Arabia.
But he’s made a very happy deal
for an airborn holiday and that’s
where he’s going to take it.
Lindbergh taught the chief war
den of the Kenya African game
preserve how to fly in pleasant ex
change for the use sometime of the
man’s plane for himself and Mrs.
Lindbergh. Now 61, ”Lindy’ is
calling the option, is off to Kenya
and headed for the deserts and
mountains of the Arabian waste
lands, still flying by the seat of
his pants.
“Some anti-inflationists . . . sug
gest that the government include
in its regular reports a direct
measure of the value of the dollar
today compared to the dollar of
1939. Using that pre-war level,
today’s dollar is worth only 46 6
cents.” — Boone, Iowa, NEWS

Castro Bands are Active
In Venezuela
CARACAS, Venezuela — In
formed sources in Caracas say ter
rorists killed two soldiers and
burned down a Goodyear Tire
plant in two attacks Wednesday
in Venezuela.
An Army jeep was ambushed in
the mountains south of Coro, in
Western Venezuela where pro
Castro guerrilla bands are active.
Informants said two soldiers in the
jeep were killed and three other
soldiers were wounded in the
fighting that followed.
The strike against the Goodyear
plant came at Barcelona, on the
eastern coast. Four men armed
with machine guns and pistols
overpowered a bookkeeper and
burned down the plant with gas
oline.
The attacks on the soldiers and
U.S. property followed the pattern
of Communist and pro-Communist
terrorists who are trying to force
cancellation of next month's Pres
idential elections with a campaign
of sabotage and bloodshed.

Senate Clamps Down on
High Seas Jurisdiction
WASHINGTON <*» — The Sen
ate voted 57 to 29 Thursday to
ban foreign aid to any nation that
asserts jurisdiction over fishing off
its coasts for distances greater than
the United States recognizes.
The amendment written into the
Foreign Aid Authorization Bill is
aimed principally at Ecuador, Chile
and Peru. The three nations on
the west coast of South America
have claimed jurisdiction 200 miles
seaward and have seized U.S. fish
ing vessels in these waters.
With some exceptions, the U.S.
recognizes that other nations have
fishing rights on the high seas to
within three miles of its coasts.
The amendment was sponsored
bv Republican Sen. Thomas Ku
chc-1 of California, who said seiz
ure of U.S. fishing vessels has
been going on for ten years off
western South America, and he
feels it’s time to act.
