War Aces Eddie Rickenbacker Survived 10,000-Foot Dive, Now Heads Passenger Line | ! Lf ii? RF i af eF Wt i il i : today. By CLAUDE WOLFF +. New York, Sept. 15.—(#)—Three things haunt the war memory of Captain Edward V. Rickenbacker, greatest of all American aviation aces in the struggle with Germany. They are: Watching Lieut. Wilbur White of New York deliberately ride to his Geath in a terrific airplane fight to save a companion by crashing into the leader of the German squadron. Falling 10,000 feet himself with a cracked right wing, finally righting the plane just in time to land safely after being attacked by two other Pilots. Seeing the first use of a pilot's Parachute during a dog fight, when the German filer “bailed out” after his plane burst into flames. Of them all, however, Captain Rickenbacker believes Lieut. White's sacrifice the outstanding exhibition of sheer bravery of that war in the skies 20 years ago. “Lieut. White was leading a group of pilots, of which there were 29 all, and I was in general command,” Captain Rickenbacker said. Attacked by Fokker “His formation got a bit away from the rest of us. I had just destroyed & ship when I saw a German Fokker move onto the tail of the last plane in Lieut. White's formation. “Like a flash, White, who had sev- en combat victories sto his credit, turned into the Fokker, and plunged came into him without firing a “It was deliberately done.

The American ace, who destroyed 21 planes and 4 balloons, had maneu- vered onto the tail of one of the ships, following it groundward until it crashed. Meanwhile two other enemy ships closed in on him, firing all the while, Wing Collapsed “I prolonged my power dive too long,” he said, “and when I tried to get back into a sharp climb my right wing collapsed. The canvas over the top wing of my Nieuport was torn off by the wind. The ship turned over and went into a tail spin, “I fell 10,000 feet, and thought of in desperation, I open wide. It straightened sh! couldn’t gain altitude, but I didn’ lose much either. tory landing at terrific speed, but safely.” It was on the same day that Lieut. ‘White was killed that Captain Rick- enbacker saw the first use of a para- chute by a doomed pilot. “I bore down on the tail of the last my Promptly leaped overboard, shot downward about 50 feet, and then a parachute opened and he began float- ing slowly downward. I was glad to see the man dropping safely to land, since he was no longer a menace in the fight. It’s no fun seeing any One burn to death.” Heads Passenger Airline Captain Rickenbacker, a former automobile race-driver, now heads a passenger airline company. He sel- Gom pilots a ship himself, but rides in them thousands of miles a year. That is true of more of the 69 American war aces who sent 440 enemy airplanes and 58 balloons crashing to the ground during the World War. Sixty of those intrepids returned eae safely. Eight were killed in battle and one died overseas of pneu- |monia. Today they are engaged in many enterprises. Some of them are still connected with aviation, others are doing a bit of authoring, working for the government, practicing law; still in the service. Some have dropped out of sight, — | NEXT—A real veteran ace, shot down, wounded, but carry- ing on for 20 years afterward. Also the thrilling fight of an- other hero who found himself in the thick of one of the greatest serial fights of the war. Highway Safety Chief Says Three Fourths of N. D. Mile- age Need Better Design Reconstruction of North Dakota’s highways is necessary to make them safe for motorists at “modern speeds” but until the job can be done every motorist is responsible for his own safety. ‘That is the conclusion reached by W. J. Brophy, safety engineer for the state highway department and an- pounced in a letter to editors tnroughout the state soliciting their co-operation in the effort to reduce the rising accident rate. In 1936, according to Brophy’s an- alysis, there were 130 highway deaths, 3,000 received permanent scars or in- Juries, 8,000 required hospitalization or a doctor's care and property loss to motor vehicles totalled $3,600,000. Nothing was allowed for the loss of time at work suffered by injured per- sons. This year, Brophy points out, “mo- tor vehicle accidents are increasing at an alarming rate and motor vehicle deaths and property damage to ve- Ficles will undoubtedly reach an all- time high for our state. Four Factors Involved Getting, down to the causes and possible cure for this condition, Bro- phy said: “There are only four factors in- solved in the highway accident situa- tion, They are: the driver, the pedes- > road and the motor ve- hicle. Three-fourths of the roads in the State of North Dakota were con- structed prior to 1933, located, de- signed, and constructed for a maxi- mum_-speed of less than 50 miles per hour, while the modern motor ve- much grea Realizing that three-fourths of our highways need complete re- building if we are to permit the mod- ern motor yehicle driver to obtain speed from his vehicle, Poorly Built Roads Blamed for Death we are getting now.—And fewer ac- cldents, “The idea is not to obtain publicity for the State Highway depart the Motor Vehicle Registrar, ie State Highway Patrol or any other agency. It is the local people in each locality who are being killed and it is up to each locality to enter the campaign to reduce the number of these deaths and injuries. “If diphtheria: smallpox or other contagious diseases were taking half the lives or causing half the loss and distress that automobile accidents do, every newspaper would be giving the fact front-page publicity and de- manding action to halt the plague. ‘The plain fact is that itis much easier to curb motor vehicle accidents than most contagious diseases. A little care and attention to saving his own neck on the part of every citizen would do the trick. “The purpose of this letter is to call to your attention the need for action and to ask that you launch a cam- paign in your community to educate the people and thus keep it free from serious accidents. The problem is one for the people, and your position makes you a leader of the people.” Wider, Straighter, Better = oe Flattened like @ toy made of papier mache, this automobile lies crushed between two street cars.

As a part of the safety campaign, Brophy said, the highway safety di- vision is urging wider, straighter, bet- ter-built roads. Where curves are neceasary it is asKing that they be jengthened so motorists may travel them at high speeds. It also is urg- ing a lengthening of “sight distances,” this being the distance a motorist can see, ahead along the road. One im- portant step in this direction, Bro- phy said, would be a lengthening of “vertical curves,” the engineering term for hills. Where @ driver can see over or beyond @ hill he is much less liable to become involved in an accident than if he can see only a relatively short distance, the safety chief said.
