Tent Burns
Over Officer
(Alaska Service Record)
Last week Lt. Phillip Sevilla
of the Air Corps had a very har
rowng experience. Lt. Sevilla,
along with Lts. Paul Van Osdol,
Harold Mitts and Morgan Giffin
were on a week-end hiking and
fishing trip in the Ship Creek
area. After having hiked about
12 miles up the creek the Lieu
tenants make camp for the night.
Included in the equipment
were four oilskin Air Corps
tents. These tents accomodate
one persons and are all in one
piece, including the bottom of
the tent, which is sewed to the
sides. The only opening in the
tent is in the front which can
be closed by a zipper.
The men retired early after
their hike and of course all slept
soundly. Around 4 o’clock Sun
day morning the men were awak
ened by a shout from Lt. Sevilla.
Leaping from bed they found
that a spark from the camp fire
had ignited Sevilla’s tent at the
entrance, trapping him in the
tent. The fire was spreading rap
idly and Sevilla was trying des
perately to get out. With the as
sistance of the other members of
the party lie finally managed to (
crawl from the burning tent.
Lt. Sevilla suffered some bad;
burns on his hands and is minus
seme hair which was singed in
his attempt to get out. Lt. Paul
Van Osdol also suffered minor
bur’s on his right hand when he
aided Sevilla.
After this experience the Lieu]
tenants started on the road back'
right after breakfast. Both Lt.
Sevilla and Lt. Van Osdol were
treated at the station hospital forj
burns.
The only comment that thel
men had was that they were dis
appointed with the fishing.

PAPER AT LADD
—
Recent’y there popped into the
Alaska Defense Command Public
Relations Office, the home of the
Alaska Service Record, at Fort
Richardson, Alaska, a long-look
ed-fer chap, L‘. Alvin Hebert
who is the Public Reltions chief
at Ladd Fie d, Fairbanks.
Lt. Hebert flew down for a
fetv hour? and then headed back
to the interior. The biggest event
held at Ladd Field recently, he
reported, was the gigantic dance
held at the Base and attended by
about 2.500 people, the very
great majority being civilians
from the town of Fairbanks.
A long discussion of public re
lations problems was held with
Lt. Herbert and the possibility
of getting all the public relations
men of the ADC together for a
confab was considered. Lt. He
t ,
bert suggested that the use of a
bomber would expedite matters!
picking up the members one by.
one & the meeting to be held at
Sitka. |
Also under discussion were j
morale problems and newspaper )
problems. Lt. Hebert has decided !
that Ladd Field is now ready for !
a regular publication and plans
are going ahead to foster it. Ev- j
ery post of the Alaska Defense
Command should be publishing!
a newspaper as part of its morale
program.
Ladd Field public relations of
ficers have also been busy in the
field of radio broadcasting, their
outstanding achievement being a
broadcast from a bomber which
was released over station KFAR,
Fairbanks.
HOOVER IS ANXIOUS
TO AVOID WAR
- i
CHICAGO, Sept. — Former j
President Herbert Hoover in,
Chicago asserted that the United ;
States should build an impreg-1
nable defense, give material aid .
to the democracies, bulwark free
dom at home and reserve its
strength to help construction of a
stabilizing peace when “Hitler
collapses of his own over-reach
ing.”
Address Over Radio
In a radio talk, the former
President contended neither iso
lation nor intervention is wise or
possible. He said that President j
Roosevelt is right in protesting
against the firing on United Stat
es warships or the sinking of
merchant ships but declared:
Unapproved and Undeclared
“The President’s policy of edg
ing our warships into danger
zones, of sending American mer
chant ships with contraband
raises the most critical of alj
questions. These steps toward
war are unapproved and unde
clared by Congress.
“There are other ways than
going to war to secure reparation
for transgression of our just
rights and respect for them.”

CHINA SAYS BEWARE
SHUNGKTNG, China, Sept. —
The China Daily Times advised
the United States to beware of
trusting Japan in any discussion
of the Far Eastern situation.
The paper said that Japan
hopes to reach a settlement with
the United States at the expense
of China. The Times added Japan
is merely biding her time, ready
to stab the United States in the
back when the moment is op
portune.
The newspaper Hsinmintao sug I
gested that both the United Stat
es and Japan are stalling for
time in discussing a Far Eastern
agreement.
In any event, the paper declar
