?J July 1 Harry Bowles, aged 21
and John Barrier, aged 17, shoot
down Milo Baucom. a state policeman
on duty, on Sexton mountain. The
crime was a peculiarly atrocloiu one.
By July 54. both have been tried,
convicted and sentenced.
That la speedy Justice. The chances
are that if we had more such exam
ples of speedy Justice we would have
fewe crime.
AMY and Jim Molliaon, flying west
ward against the weather, crash
In a marsh a half hour's flying time
from New York, the goal of their trip.
. What a pity to get so close and still
fail!
FJUT they made t across the At-
D lantlc, in the hard direction,
even If they didn't quite get to New
York. That la something to be thank
ful for along with the fact that
when they crashed in the marsh they
were not seriously injured.
We are actually considering trans
Atlantic air travel as a commercial
service, but before flying across the
Atlantic can be regarded aa a com
mercial service It will have to be prov
ed that planes can come west against
the weather Just the same as they go
east WITH the weather.
The Molliaon have helped to prove
that.

That means more than any stock

it must be because people have money ;
with which to buy what is offered
