Connects, Then Rejects Marriage Didn't Last Long
Knoxville,—(U.P.)-James C. Davis' marriage didn't get past the wedding ceremony. Mr. Davis married Miss Barbara Davis. Two days later he filed for divorce, charging that immediately after the ceremony his bride told him she didn't love him, that the marriage was a "grievous mistake" and that she didn't intend to live with him.
Flatiron Aids Police In Nailing Shoplifter
Salt Lake City—(U.P.)—Police had little trouble nabbing a suspected shoplifter with a suspicious bulge under his clothing. When he was told to put his hands in the air for a “frisking,” a heavy flatiron slid down the inside of a trouser leg and bounced off his toe. After that, the man could not have run, even if the officers hadn't been so close.

"The qualifications demanded during World War II have been enlarged upon," he pointed out. "New aircraft calls for more of a technician, one able to follow a radar scope to bring down planes out of sight."

Bomber crews of tomorrow, he said, must consist of "executives" to observe indications on navigational flight, cruise control and bombing instruments. Crew members would be in the position of having to make decisions on necessary corrective action or adjustment, he explained.

"Fighter planes, for instance, will be virtually retrievable guided missiles," he told the class.
Colonel Sanders, assigned to the office of director of requirements at air force headquarters, said future aircraft will be as nearly automatic as the engineer and designer can make them.
"Every action from take-off to landing will be performed by automatic devices, with the pilot serving only as a monitoring agent to see that everything functions properly. If anything goes wrong; he can take over and return the craft to its base.
"It was inevitable for these advances to be made from the early, romantic era of flying.
"Consider the transport of the future which may carry as many as 200 men. Think of the responsibility for the lives of those men which must be borne by the flight crew. It's obvious we cannot afford losses of the last war that were due to human error. We must find ways to correct them."
Army Pal's Musical Comedy Wins Prize
Boston. — (U.P) — World War II started a profitable partnership for George A. Garvin and Arch Taylor, who were in the Army together.
The pair won the 1945 War Writer Board's first prize with their musical comedy, "Nothing in Common."
Now Garvin, a Boston University music college senior, and Taylor, an Amherst College English student, have written a second musical, "Bonanza."

Canoeing Was A Hobby Until He Spent Seven Years In An Eskimo Kayak
Sydney, Australia—(U.P.)-Living quietly in a Sydney flat, his thoughts more on his opal-cutting business than on the sea, is Oscar Speck, who paddled an Eskimo kayak from Germany to Australia.
Phone 954 712 E. 9th
For seven years and four months,
Speck paddled 30,000 miles up rivers
on and across oceans before he set
fire on the dam. The dam was built
on the land on the wavy down from Papua.
But war had come to the world while he made his way down the Coral Sea. And he was German. So, with the end of his odyssey almost in sight, Speck was arrested and spent most of the next seven years in internment.
Speck's amazing quest began at Ulm, on the Danube, in May. 1932. He was 25, canoeing was his pastime and Germany was in the middle of a depression. It seemed a good time to get out for a while.
He loaded his collapsible 18-foot kayak with a prismatic compass, charts, water containers, lots of condensed milk, chocolate and cheese. There was no room for a sextant, and anyway, squatting so near the water his horizon was only two and a half miles.
With two strong arms and two square yards of sail, he took off down the Danube, to Bulgaria, to Turkey, to Cyprus. He had meant to stop there. But he went on-to Syria; the Euphrates to Iraq; and then along the Arabian coastline to India, thence to Ceylon.
Still he went on. He had a new goal now: Australia.
The years passed. Kayak after kayak wore out and replacements, ordered three months ahead, arrived from Europe. Speck used up five. He went to Burma, Singapore, Sumatra, Batavia, Sourabaya, Bali and the islands ahead. He capsized ten times; was blown off his course; taken prisoner by tribesmen.
Hitter was almost unknown when Speck left Germany. But Hitler's war stopped him when he was 18 miles from Thursday Island, and he
finished his journey in a police launch.

Today, Speck, now an Australian,
is comfortably settled in Sydney
and has his own opal-cutting
business. One day, he hopes to revisit
him to see his 86-year-old
mother. But he will come back to
Australia.
"I got here the hard way," he says,
"and I intend to stay."
