Airplane Carrier Has 'Angel' on
Board That Saves Lives of Pilots
By PAUL F. ELLIS
(United Frew Staff Correspondent)
Aboard U. S. S. Franklin D. Roosevelt in West Indies, Jan. 25
(U.R) There is an "angel" aboard this big carrier of the Atlantic
Iieet.
It is an angel that saves lives that is, when necessary, which
lsn t too otten. -
This particular angel is a new
type helicopter. It hovers near
the carrier when planes are tak
ing off and landing, ready to
throw a life line to any airman
whose plane may hit the sea.
Significantly, the helicopter
with its whirling 24-foot revol
ving blades is known in the
code language as "angel." It
has picked up a flier from sea
less than two minutes after an
accident, and had him aboard
the carrier in about four min
utes. All the big ships in the navy
now are being equipped with
helicopters for rescue work, and
their part definitely has been
established since the end of the
war with Japan.
A typical pilot is Lt. (jg) Mark
R. Starr, 26, Pasadena, Calif.,
senior aviator on the helicopter
of this reserve officers training
cruise which is winding up this
week.
A former carrier pilot, Starr
has one assistant .pilot and a
crew of four maintenance men
who belong to helicopter squad
ron two, Lakehurst, N.J., from
where all the Atlantic "an
gels" are assigned. The navy's
other squadron, No. 1, is in Mira-
mar, Calif., serving ships in the
Pacific area.
The Roosevelt's angel takes a
position off starboard and to
ward aft, hovering 50 feet above
the water during landings. It
goes to 150 feet altitude during
takeoffs.
The positions put the helicop
ter in readiness to swoop down
to the water's edge if a plane
hits the drink. By the time the
pilot, already equipped with a
Mae West " life vest, gets out
of the plane the angel is there
hovering over him.
A sling is attached to a steel
cable, lowered, and the pilot
slips it under his arms. The
hoist operator, riding with the
helicopter pilot, turns on the
hydraulic lift, bringing the air
man to the side of the helicop
ter. He steps inside, and if
necessary is huried to the car
rier for medical attention.
Starr said that in the last
two years his squadron had
made about 30 rescues, most of
them carrier pilots.
The general feeling among
navy men is that the presence
of the "angel" boosts the air
men's confidence, particularly If
they are new at the game.
The helicopter also is used to
transfer men from ship to ship
and distributes mail among task
force ships in a matter of min
utes whereas in the old days a
destroyer took hours to make
the same Jog.

Linn Ponders
Road Damage
Albany, Jan. 25 Fear for
the fate of Linn county's road
system is expressed by members
of the Linn county court after
they had viewed the 1949-50
winter damage in the light of
dwindling road funds.
. County Judge E. G. Arnold
points out that in an effort to
so recondition the county's roads
that they might withstand the
present winter the court has us
ed all funds available and has
even overdrawn the general
road, market road and road dis
trict funds in repairing last win
ter's unprecedented damage.
While the road break-up is
not so severe thus far as it was
last year, Judge Arnold said, it
is far worse than had been ex-j
pected and even with the 4-ton
load limits now prevailing soft
ened roadbeds are going to piec
es at many points.
According to the treasurer's
semi-annual statement, just is
sued the general road fund was
overdrawn by $34,594.75 as of
December 31, 1949; the road dis
trict fund by $58,460.83 and the
market road fund of $6,890.
Favors Trial of Gov't
Loans to Small Firms
Chicago, Jan. 25 (U.R) E. A.
Mattison, executive vice presi
dent of the Bank of America,
told bankers Tuesday that "it
may be well" to give govern
ment-insured loan programs a
trial to aid small business.
Mattison, addressing the
American Bankers association's
national credit conference, said
that "a great many small busi
nessmen obviously do not get the
credit which they feel they are
entitled to from their banks."
He said that meeting the cred
it needs of small, independent
businessmen is "banking's mid-
century challenge."
Mattison said that less than
600 commercial banks have made
GI business loans insured by
the veterans administration.
OMS Express
Rates Upped
George H. Flagg, public utili
ties commissioner, has signed an
order permitting Oregon Motor
Stages to increase express rates.
No shippers or receivers of ex
press shipments were present to
protest at the hearing which was
held in Portland.
In its findings the order says:
"That the volume of express
business now being handled at
the petitioner's terminals places
an undue hardship on their pas
senger service; that the conges
tion affects the convenience of
the passengers; that the volume
of express has grown to such an
extent that it can no longer be
considered as an incidental part
of the passenger service author
ized by their permit; that to a
great extent rates account for
the large volume of express
shipments rather than a need for
fast service.

parents of a four-year-old girl
are held without bond today af

grandmother did. Horsefeath-
ers, says Miss Albright.
Who ever refused to go see
a girl because she was pretty? "
she demanded. "If a girl has a
good figure and shapely legs,,
she ought to be proud to show
them."
She added, further, that many
a beauty has climbed to stardom
on piles of cheesecake pictures.
"Betty Grabel, Ann Sheridan
and Rita Hayworth became
known for their beautiful fig
ures before anybody noticed
they could act," she said.
In some quarters, they're still
known for their beautiful fig
ures.

Columbia's "The Killer That
Stalked New York." The part
calls for her to double-cross her
sister, seduce her brother-in-

sweaters and expose several
lengths of shapely limb.
"It's all part of the business,"
she shrugged. "Good business,
