Private Planes Collide
Over San Fernando
LOS ANGELES, UP — Collision
of two light planes over the San
Fernando Valley killed three men,
including actress Maureen O’Sulli
van’s 19-year-old son.
He was Michael D. Farrow, first
of seven children of the Irish
born actress and movie writer
director John Farrow. The par
ents are in London, where the
elder Farrow- is completing pro

Michael, who had a student
flying certificate, was killed Wed
nesday in one plane with David
M. Johnson, 21, a flying instruc
tor at a small airport in suburban
Pacoima.
The other victim, flying alone
in the other craft, was Donald W.
Preneville, 39, of nearby Glendale.
The single-engine planes col
lided at about 600 feet in clear,
sunny weather.
On Dec. 23, 1941, fighter air
craft were put into use as bombers
for the first time, and Marine
aviators sunk their first enemy
warship in World War II, off
Wake Island.

Voter's View ys. Political Plea
And Could This Be You?
With election just around the
corner each party flatters and not
beware. What is the best color for
future painting? Commonwealth
chooses the Republican. Democra
cy advises the Democrat while we,
the voters, plead common sense.
How can we the people unite in
harmony? With legislative powers
forever irking each other and
call it campaigning, canvass pre
cedence or what have you. But
each party has the same slogan.
Now this party must wake up
and dream no more. Nightmares
can wait till later date, we must
campaign for our champagne,
miscue the eight-ball means no
highball, to misdeal will cost us
a great deal, drain your brains
to board your trains. Vote for me
they all sound off. Your vote for
me will briitg whatever you wish.
You’ve nothing to loose I’ve done
no harm.
Campaign you may and sound
off. But remember the proud Go
liath of the good old Bible and
the simple but brave David who
with one smooth stone and the
Name of the living God prevailed.
So I ask you, politics be sensible,
for we are under the same flag.
Remember the old slogan United
we stand, divided we fall. Too
much debate will bring deceit. Ini
tiate Alaska as a patriotic state,
freedom from commotion even
during election.
Now there are some who have
served years too long, some have
said, and too old. But serving a
long time is far better than to
run every election with no suc
cess. Service record has proven
their prudence. No home, no com
munity, no state, can form a firm
government in unity, without the
unity in leadership. No party has
ever proved faultless. For even
the disciples and apostles of
Christ were not all found as fault
less and true in their duration of
service for the Most High and Di
vine Trinity. Neither were they
chosen from one class or creed,
but from all walks of life. So voter
and reader cast your ballot for the
man you think and know most
suitable for service he or she has
vowed to fill, for blindly marking
X’s on the party squares may not
improve the future problems for
which you care. So now I wish
to greet each and every success
ful nominee wisdom, ability and
courage to endure in their entire
term of duty regardless of party
or creed. And may each individual
vote with respect and my best for
the State of Alaska.
— STANTON O. KATCHATAG,
Unalakleet.

WILMINGTON, N. C., UP) —
“Walking John” is in Wilmington.
After 127 days of trying out his
two feet for 2,750 miles, John F.
Frey walked into town Wednes
day afternoon. '
Frey, a veteran of self-propelled
tours about North America, left
Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada,
en route to Miami, Fla., ^nd says
he is using the trip to gather
material for a book.
The 64-year-old resident of
Fairbanks, Alaska, was to leave
Thursday en route to Georgetown,
S. C.
His present walking jaunt is
one of a series dating back to
1954. His accomplishments to date
include:
One hundred and forty-eight'
days to walk from New York City
to San Francisco, 3,270 miles; and
169 days to cover the 3,480 miles
from San Francisco to Fairbanks
and the Arctic Circle.
He carries a 40-pound knapsack
on his back.
Frey said he hoped to reach
Miami by Christmas, and then
fly back to Fairbanks. When asked
about his plans, he said:
“After I pass the age of 70,
I plan to lighten the load of my
pack and reduce the distance.”

GOP State
Candidate Wants
Education Debate
Russell E. Arnett, Republican
candidate for the State House of
Representatives, has challenged
one of his Democratic opponents
to a debate on the subject of the
Department of Education under
the new State government.
Arnett wrote John S. Hellen
that that the respective positions
of Republican and Democratic
candidates on the question had
aroused so much interest that it
should be the subject of a full
fledged TV debate. He offered to
provide the television facilities.
A week before Arnett and Hel
lentlfal appeared on a TV pro
gram which became so heated
that it was cut off the air. Under
discussion at the time was the
question of how Democratic candi
date William Egan Stood on the
makeup of the educational system.
In his letter to Hellenthal, Ar
nett said the debate should be on
the question: “The Republican vs.
the Democratic Position on the
Department of Education.”
