ENTATIVES Wash, NATIONAL REPRE! Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Averiue Blds., Seattle JUST WHAT The imaginations of Alaskans, who realize the difficulties of roadbuilding, are stirred by the atticles on proposed hybrid vehicles which would incorporate both the qualities of aircraft and auto. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation proposes such,vehicles for use after the war. They are designed for the company by William B. Stout, head of its One has exciting visions of leaping over creeks, rivers, bays, mountains and volcanoes, and still enjoying the advantages of roadable vehicle in Mr. Stofit's “helicab.” Then there are the ‘aerocar” and the “roadable airplane,” airplanes with detachable wings designed for speeds from 35 miles an hour on the ground to 120 miles an hour in the air The last of this trio is described by the designer as a vehicle with four wheels and folding wings for the convenience of the business man who wants a light delivery truck which can become a magic carpet with a flying range of 400 miles. At first glance these proposals seem to have touch of Buck Rogers about them. But we cannot dismiss Jeast visionary minds in the aircraft industry are the possibilities they indicate. Some of the sanest and turning toward serious consideration of combination Mr. Stout himself has proved that besides being a “stirrer-upper” he is a practical and far-seeing engineer, esteemed as a designer by his associates in the Society of Automotive Engineers. If some of his creations to date, such as the revolu- tionary, rear-engined scarab car, have not ched quantity production it probably has been due to the ultra-conservatism on the part of big business rather than to any fundamental impracticability of design. The conventional airplane can taxi on the ground. Why not expand this phase of its abilities? It must be admitted that the prospect of project- ing the Sunday driver into the air has its alarming aspects. But, in the light of the technical advance- ments in every field of aviation even since the war hegan, it would be a rash man who would say that it cannot be dor research division a road-and-air vehicles rea in the newspapers.” CAPITAL The Shangri-La (New York The United States Navy, by that lover of naval lore, is about to break a tradition rules for labeling ships of war after a State, a heavy cruiser cruiser a small city, a destroyer hero or some distinguished friend of Times) instigate a batt a submarine takes the name of a fish or mal that is at home in the water.

While President Roosevelt is in Quebec, he might say a word to Prime Minister Mackenzie King about the question, for Canada is now getting most of the bananas thut would normally come to the United States from Mexico and Guatemala This is because U. ings have made this attractive. U. S. fruit merchants, done out of a good product, appealed to the Office of Defense Transportation, which appealed to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which is- sued a ban on use of U. S. cars to carry freight from one foreign country to another. This was. aimed at banana cars sent from Mexico across the U.S. A, to Canpada. It stopped the ship- ments,-but not for long. Promptly, the Mexican Embassy in Washing- ton protested to the State Depart- ment, asking relief from the ban apd Mr. Hull protested to ODT. Solution probably will be an agree- ment to limit banana shipments to Canada, cutting off the big ship- ments, and making more banarnas available to the U.S. A S. price ceil- market less JIMMY BYRNES' “WHISKERS” Ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes went out to dinner the other night at the home of his old friend Walter Brown, taking with him the Byrnes' family pet, “Whiskers,” a scottie which recently has been featured pictorially in Washington news- papers “Whiskers” was tied in the rear garden of the Brown home while the guests went in to dinner. But he protested loudly and vociferously. “I guess we'll have to do some- thing about ‘Whiskers',” Justice Byrnes finally remarked. “He's been taking himself seriously lately. It all comes from getting his picture Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, who has not been so keen about Willkie lately, took | a trip through New England this summer and was amazed at Will-| kie’s popularity.
