Ex-Brigadier General Marveled God's Work, Now Rector Of Church
RED BLUFF. Calif. (API-Lester
J. Maitland, who 34 years ago
made the first trans-Pacitic flight
to Hawaii, has become a different
tort of sky pilot.
Once Brig. Gen. Maitland, he's
now the Rev. Mr. Maitland, rec
tor of St. Peter's Episcopal
Church in this northern Sacramen
to Valley lumbering and livestock
town.
'1 used to speculate as I flew
with two wings, with eight wings.
And there were no parachutes. I
recall at first we thought they
were sissy." Maitland says.
"I was in so many crashes I
can't remember them. I'd like to
feel that I was saved to do the
job I have started."

JET SETS RECORD
ROME (UPI) - A Trans-
world Airways Boeing 707 inter
continental jet airliner flew from
New York to Rome Friday in
seven hours 48 minutes to estab
lish a new commercial record for
the flight. The plane, which car
ried 106 passengers and a crew of
12, reached speeds of more than
800 miles an hour.
WHO IS RIGHT?
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
How many people live in San
Francisco?
The California Taxpayers As
sociation says 790,000 and the city
Planning Department last August
set the figure at 807,000 San
Franciscans.
The biggest figure comes from
the local Chamber of Commerce
which places the city's population
at 821,000.
over the mountains and the great
oceans on the insignificance of
man's work and the greatness of
God," says the much-decorated
aviation pioneer. "I began to see
that nothing could be finer than
serving Him."
This feeling was always there,
says Maitland, a vigorous 60, and
lifelong member of the Episcopal
Church.
"It was a long process," he re
calls. "I continued feeling that
'This is what I'm going to do.'
The feeling kept getting stronger
and stronger until I finally decid
ed to join the ministry."
That was in 1054. He began
studying under the Rev. George
Selway at St. Paul's in Lansing,
Mich., where he was serving as
aeronautics commissioner and
civil defense director for the state.
He took the positions after retire
ment from the Army Air Corps
in 1945.
A period of seminary study fol
lowed Maitland's initial work in
Lansing, a term of apprenticeship.
Then, two years ago, he came
here with his wife to take over
at St. Peter's.
Maitland's main goal now is to
enlarge his 350-mcmber congrega
tion and to build a mission in this
community of about 6,000 people.
Before he donned his clerical
garb, Maitland's career spanned
nearly the entire history of avia
tion and brought him many honors
including two Distinguished Flying
Crosses in World War II.
It was a career that began as
it ended, in Army war service.
In 1917, Maitland left his home
in Milwaukee, Wis., at 18 to start
out as a test pilot in the fledgling
Air Service.
JC PREXY "ARRESTED"
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (UPI) -Robert
Clark of Des Moines,
Iowa, national president of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce,
was flown here Friday night "un
der arrest." Two sheriff's depu
ties boarded Clark's plane at
Columbus, Miss., and clapped him
in handcuffs. It was all a joke,
but Clark was not aware of it
until the plane stopped at Jas
per, Ala., where he received the
keys to the city and a reprimand
for "planning a trip to Alabama
without scheduling a stop at Jasper."
When he retired, he left a bomb-.
ing squadron that for two years
had regularly hit targets in Nazi
held Europe with Maitland flying
"every mission until they made
me quit."
How does a general turned min
ister feel about his war-making
role?
"The bombing was an essential
job at the time," Maitland ex
plains. "That's what I was trained
(or. We all have to reconcile our
selves to this sort of thing."
As for the future, he feels
strongly that aviation will help
mankind reach peace by shrinking
the world and making it easier to
get from one place to another.
Ultimately, Maitland believes, this
will lead to world government.
"Communication and transport
ation go together," he points out.
"We have little trouble with Mex
ico and Canada because we're
close together and can talk to
each other, understand each oth
er.
"With air travel, we can do this
on a worldwide basis and see that
people all over the world are hu
man just as we are. We can get
their viewpoints and they can get
ours.
"As long as we're talking, we
won't be fighting. In the past, we
weren't able to do this and we had
wars.
"Aviation has to help mankind
reach peace. If it doesn't, it will
destroy the world."
Maitland played a significant
role in aviation's development,
serving as an aide to famed Gen.
Billy Mitchell and once, in 1923,
snapping the world's speed rec
ord: 244 miles an hour.
Today, that speed may seem
outrageously slow, like the 25
hours and 49 minutes it took Mait
land and navigator Albert Ilegen
berger to make it from Oakland,
Calif., to Hawaii on that record
1926 flight.
Although the speeds may not
have been exciting by jet stand
ards, the dangers were undoubted
ly greater in the early days of
aviation.
