Atlantic Flights Total 500 Weekly
Philadelphia, (INS) — Capt. E. V. "Eddie" Rickenbacker yesterday revealed that the army and navy air transport commands now average "around 500 trans - Atlantic flights per week, and more are being added all the time."
At the same time, Rickenbaker said in an interview he was opposed to overtime pay for the newly established 48-hour week in 32 manufacturing centers.
"In times like these," he said, "I do not approve of overtime pay except for the men in the foxholes, the swamps, the deserts—those making the supreme sacrifice.
"There is little reason why those back home should not expend every effort and energy, if for no other reason than that our own skins are at stake."
In a broadcast Rickenbacker fore-saw a post-war era of aerial activity when "air liners will be as common as freight cars."
He also revealed that the war has brought about some inventions that will be of tremendous benefit to commerce, agriculture, and industry when peace returns.
Rickenbacker stated that the number of flying fields, for training and other purposes, that have been built in this country, is now a military secret.
"But," he added, "it is no secret that after the war, hundreds of these fields will become the backbone of the largest network of airports that any country in the world can boast of."
BETA WHIPS---
(continued from page four)
In a rough and tumble game the Sig Alph's last night knocked Delta Chi out of a possible tie with the Beta's and Phi Delt's for first place in Division I by a score of 43-41. Sig Alph Dick Rosberg hit a long shot in the second "sudden death" overtime to give the Alph's the needed two point advantage.
Elton Winter, Delta Chi high scorer with 19 points, was the spark of the attack that challenged an early Sig Alph lead and ran the game into the second overtime. For the Sig Alph's Frank Gage was the high scorer with 14 points to his credit.
Delta Chi's will still retain third place in Division I and the Sig Alph's come up to fourth place.
Delta Tau. Wins
In an earlier game of the evening Delta Tau had little trouble overcoming the Triangle quintet 31-10. Stapleton and Haynes starred for the Delt's with 12 and 10 points respectively.
It was nip and tuck all the way in the Sigma Chi-ATO battle with the score tied many times, but ATO finally came on out top. 29-26, with George Robb leading scoring with 10 points. Sigma Chi Frank Pattee was high for his team also with 10 points.

AGGIES WILL----
(continued from page four)
Iba-coached squad in recent years.
The home-court advantage and the absence of Charlie Black from the Jayhawk lineup strengthen Aggie chances.
Scoring chores will once again fall upon the shoulders of Otto Schnellbacher and John Buescher, who have been hitting the basket regularly during Black's extended absence from the Jayhawk lineup. Diminutive Harold "Sparky" McSpadden is scheduled to again get the starting pod in the absence of Black.
Facing the Kansans will be a veteran Aggie crew which features the defensive work of guards Bogart, Herron, and Aubrey, and the offensive and defensive rebounding of Center Lou Steinmeir. Buescher Sparks Kansas
John Buescher, Jayhawk quarterback, found his shooting eye last night to lead his mates to a 37 to 29 victory over the Cyclones on their home court. Buescher sifted through an Iowa defense that had been impregnable in the first half to chalk up 15 points for scoring honors.
The victory boosted the Jayhawks' conference lead to two games as an overconfident Oklahoma squad dropped a game to Missouri at Columbia, 45 to 50. Thornton Jenkins, outstanding sophomore in the conference, led the Tigers to the upset win with 19 points. Tiger defense held Gerald Tucker to 10 points.
The Big Six leaders had trailed the sophomore-dominated Cyclone quintet 12 to 16 at the end of the first half, as guards Norman and Oulman stopped Jayhawk offensive thrusts. But the two Ames defensive aces fouled out early in the second half, and the Kansans moved away to a safe lead.
Officials Call 24th.
The game marked the final conference competition for Ron Norman. Cyclone football and basketball spraklug, who has received his notice to report for training in the Army Air Corps.
The game was rough, with 34 fouls being called on the two teams. Failure to connect with free throws cost the losers heavily, as the Cyclone cagers missed ten tosses from the free throw line.
Officials Call 34 Fouls

US Aid To China Will Increase
Washington, (INS)—J. Franklin Ray, chief of the Chine branch, Office of Lend-Lease Administration, yesterday predicted that aid now being sent to Chine will be steadily increased through air transport.
In a report to the House Foreign Affairs committee, Ray revealed that more Lend-Lease goods for China were shipped from the United States "in the last month for which complete reports are available" than in any month since Burma fell.
Ray, who was lend-lease representative from June to December, 1D42, said that "it is only in the last few months that we have gotten into good production on transport planes."
Plane deliveries in the past six months have been "greatly increased," new airfields have been built in China and India and "hundreds of Chinese student pilots" have been trained in the United States, Ray said.
One-half of all lend-lease supplies for China shipped so far are now in India, he said, and added that these, together with cash purchases and U. S. Army supplies provide "several months' supply for movement into China" under present schedules.
Following the Allied defeat in Burma, Ray reported, the American Volunteer Group "using planes and equipment that represented a pooling of Chinese cash purchases and lend-lease materials and supplies" won "control of the air over China, never lost from December, 1941, to date."
Glen Sankey, engineering junior from Kansas-City, Mo., underwent an operation today ab Watkins Memorial hospital.
