An Exile
Comes Home
(New York Times)
Haile Selasse has re-entered in
triumph the capital from which
he fled 5 years ago. He was the
first of the peaceful rulers to b
forced out of power by the devel
oping might of aggression. It is
fitting that he should be first also
to regain his throne.
There has been a good deal
that was path, tic and in some de
gree admirable in this bearded
little Oriental whose will, while
he ruled, was law to five millions
of people spread over 350,0001
square miles of territory. Admit
tedly he was doing the best he;
could to lead a backward popula
tion along the paths of progress
when the Italians invaded his
country and their airplane- made
resistance futile. He himself,
throughout his five years of ex
ile, never ceased to appeal to
European conscience for the jus
tice a European nation had de-j
nied him. His appearance before
the League of Nations to demand
its help was on; of the dramatic
incidents in the last years of that
body.
The League could give him no
answer. Its “sanctions" had fail
ed and it had no other weapon.
But now the pendulum has
swung back and he is again en
throned, riding into a gayly be
decked Addis Ababa to be receiv
ed by a British General wno
aid has wrought this won Jar.
Record Increase
Airline Travel
•
Quarterly operations statistics
for the 16 domestic air lines,
made pubTc tod u by the Admin
istra'or of Civil Aeronautics, Don
aid II. Connolly, record a 26%
increase in miles flown, 35% in
pass ngers carried, and 42%. in
pounds of air express over the
first three months of IS40.
The Administrator attributed
these substantial gains to the ev
er increasing popularity of air
travel as well as to the increased
amount of trav 1 brought about
by national defense activties.

Infantile Paralysis
Aids Available
At Juneau
Th Territorial Department of
Health recently received by ex
press from the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis, 108
splints and frames for use of in
fantile paralysis patients. This
was done at the request of the
Division of Maternal and Child
Health and Crippled Children’s
Services of the Territorial De
partment of Health through the
Alaska Chairman of the Presi
dent’s Birthday Ball Committee.
Governor Ernest Gruening.
A d pot for these appliances
will be established in the Office
of the Territorial Department of
Health in Juneau and the appli
ances will be distributed through
out the Territory on the request
of private physicians. Although
only four cases of infantile par
alysis have been reported and
there appears to be little danger
of the r cent outbreak of infan
tile paralysis reaching epidemic
proportions, the officials of the
Department of Health are taking
no chances and are therefore pre
paring for any eventuality.
It was point!-d cut that al
though there is no specific treat
ment for infantile paralysis,
much can be done for those at
tacked by the disease, by placing
and keeping them in a position
where weakened muscles are
put at rest. This is the objective
i.-.d result of properly used
. plints and frames. It was also
pointed cut that many children
who show extensive paralysis in
the acute stage of th disease, if
cared for by the proper applica
tion of splint and frames even
tually recover completely after
v, eeks or months.
Letters are b ing sent to phv«ic
ians in the Territory informing
them of the establishment of the
depot for splints and frames. A
pamphlet giving a description of
he appliances and instructions
for ordering is being enclosed.
It is to be noted that the splints
and frames are loaned to the
Territory by the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis with
at cost except for the transporta
lion expenses. This service has
been made possible by the nickels
and dimes collected in the coin
boxes and the purchase of tickets
f r the Presid1 nt’s Birthday Ball
not only in Alaska, but in every
state in the Union.
I' is hoped that other commun
ities in the Territory may see fi‘.
:o follow the example of the citi
’•-ns of Juneau, through whos
contributions a respirator (iron
lung) is made available to the
community.
These activities on the part of
, the Territorial Department of
i Health and the City of Juneau
j are exampl s of preparedness
that merit the support of every
citizen in the territory.

ARMY FLIER LANDS
ONEWHEEL PLANE
MITCHELL FIELD, N. Y. May
An Army lieutenant landed his
; Martin bomber successfully
at Mitchell Field despite the loss
of one wheel.
Lt. Rob rt L. Little of Spokane,
Wash., skidded the craft on its
belly till it came to a halt. He
had ordered three companions to
jump by parachute when they
discovered that the left wheel
had fallen off while the bomber
was in flight. No one was hurt
and the plane apparently suffer
ed only slight damage.

NOT WORK TO HIM —To N. E. Galloway, a retired
wood-carving instructor at Foyil, Okla., the 70-foot totem pole
he’s building of concrete, steel and stone in his backyard is all
play—not work. It’s recreation for him, lie says, creating some
grotesque figures which—he admits—may confound hlofori?xs
2,000 years from now. There'!! be six rooms inside pole.
