HITCHCOCK HAS
HOPES FOR I
SERVICE
HERE
Hopeful that Klumath Foils
will bo given trunk lino air
servlco out of tho current cases,
Phil Hitchcock, -director in
charge of aviation for tho cham
ber of commerce, returned to
day from Washington, D. C,
where ho appeared as o witness
in the western nlrliiia cases,
Senator Marshall Cornell,
who was In Washington at tho
same tlmo to assist in the air
lino problem will return to the
west by automobile. Ho will
bo hero auoui no v. 10.
Favorable Reception
Hitchcock, who appeared per
sonallv before tho civil aeronau
tics' board, said ho felt tho
Klamath nrcscntallon received
a favorable reception. After he
had spoken lor oooui iu mm
utcs at tho hearing, tho mem
bers spent about that same pe
riod of tlmo osklng questions
about the Klamath situation.
Hitchcock Mild he was asked
by tho board, whether he had
any preference for cither United
Air Lines or Western Airlines,
the two trunk lino services seek
ing to come in here. His reply
was that he had none, but that
Klamath Falls wants and needs
the service.
Hitchcock expressed the onln-
Ion that the CAB will follow a
conservative policy with respect
to establishment or leccicr lines
In his appearance, ho spoke
In favor of tho Nevada-Pacific
feeder line which would link
Klamath Falls with Boise,
Burns, Lakcvlcw, Alturas, Su
sanvllie and Reno.
Municipal Airport
Hitchcock and Cornelt had an
audience with navy officials re
garding tho Klamath municipal
airport, sito of tha Klamath nav
al air station They asked that
permanent installations made
by tho navy at the field be left
there, to bo turned over to the
city with tho understanding it
could be used by tho govern
ment if necessary. No final de
cision was determined in this
matter, but tho Klamath men
learned that tho navy's policy is
in lino with their request. Tho
navy is forced, however, to turn
such property over to the sur
plus property agency for dis
posal. Legislation affecting this
matter may bo introduced in
congress, Hitchcock said,

Soorubalu. A certain amount of
firing sllll was going on in ouior
ureun of tho city, but It was re
ported that tho situation gen
erally was quieter.
una veaa
The first six hours of tho
bottle woro known to have taken
tho llfo of ono Indian Sepoy. A
British officer and soveral liv
dlmi soldiers wcro reported
wounded.
A Dutch Catallna plana was
hit by light machlncgun fire
wliila flying 150 feet above the
railway station. Tho plane re
turned to Batavia without land
lug at Sncrubajn.
It still was not clear what had
touched off the outbreak. Leaf
lets' had been dropped on the
city warning unauthorized per
sons carrying arms to turn in
their weapons by Wednesday on
penalty of death. British army
observers thought the leaflets
might have been a partial cause
of the clush.
Mocstopa, a mysterious Indo
nesian whoso name has been
linked with tho hostilities, was
reported to have fled the naval
bane. A British senior staff of
ficer said that when ho Informed
Soekarno last night of what had
happened, tho nationalist leader
hud said that Mocstopa held no
official position in the native
movement for Independence
from Dutch colonial control.
I arrived at Soerabaja with
Soekarno's party before the
truco was arranged and had a
succession of lucky escapes
Shots whizzed over our plane
shortly ofter we alighted. Arm
ed patrols took us to waiting
trucks.
Soekarno's aide In a purple
fez lifted high tho red and white
flag of Indonesia, and wo start
ed through the native lines to a
British battalion headquarters.
At the headquarters the com
mander, Lt. Col. A. CrookshanK
showed a map of the battle area.
Surrounded
There were not more than
1.000 Brit sh troons in Soerab
aja, ond many of the units were
completely surrounded by Indo
nesians who probably numbered
in the tens of thousands.
Explaining that the RAF had
dropped leaflets telling tho na
tives to turn in their arms, the
British officer said:
"Now the whole town Is In
revolt. A lot of women and
children in Internment camps
havo been killed. The situation
Is completely out of control. The
fighting extends over an area
seven miles long by two miles
wide."
Tho British opened up with
mortar fire while this conference
was In progress.
Crookshank osked Soekarno
and his colleagues if they would
go to brigade headquarters in
tho center of the city under a
whlio flag of truce.
"They don't shoot you," the
British officer sold. "See, I've
tied a white flag on tha front.
You, Soekarno, stand up along
side the driver and hold your
own flag."
Thus Soekarno. standing with
his face in the wind proudly
carrying his red ana white en
sign, went into the thick of the
fire from the natives who had
gotten out of hand.
Ooen Fire
The truck had only proceeded
200 yards when a machlncgun
opened fire on it. Then an armor
ed vehicle which the Indonesians
had taken from the Japanese
opened fire but missed.
The armored vehicle then
come up alongsido Soekarno's
truck and there seemed to be
greeting.
Three hours later when we
were leaving Soekarno had not
yet reached brigade- headquart
ers although it was only a 10
minute drive. He apparently
reached Indonesian headquart
ers and was negotiating tor the
truce.
Tho fire we experienced on
landing was nothing to what we
received on taking off. Seven
wounded Mahrattas were being
evacuated. Machlnegun and rifle
lire tore a nole in the tall of the
plane. One shot ripped into the
wign oi a wounded Maliralta.
