GATTY ------ Here's a sa story for all amen - and for me . ersonally. H arol d Gatty has just died, on the island of ' uva, in the FiJ'is. H arold was only fifty-four. But he l ived a life as full of events - as almost anyone of his time. I was with him in the South tacific only a few w eeks ago. tle seemed fine, no idea he was suffering from heart trouble. Harold Gatty got into aviation - when it waF a young science. Taking up navigation he invented a new technique for flying oy the sta s. A technique so revolutionary - that Colonel Lindbergh called him - •the best navigator in the country, if not in the while world! a rold Gatty made his number one headline of course with iley P o st , in ineteen Thirty One - when they circled the globe in 8 single engined Lockheed. lost nd Gatty making it all the way around in what wa s t h en a fantastic record_ eight days, fifteen hours, fifty-one minutes. GATTY - 2 --- After tat, a rold Gatty served for a while as a researc h engineer for the U.S. ~rmy Air Corps. Later, he became a n official of ¥a n American Air ~ ays. e ~as awarded many ornors - inc uding the istinguished Service Cross. He as a native Tasmanian - from that large island off the southeastern tip of Australia. And he always l oved the acific islands. So he started a airline in the South acific - •Fiji Airways.• Just the other day he told me he was going to expand his organization - add more p lanes to •Fiji Airways.• And he had just completed a new book, on how to keep alive - to be p ublished in a few weeks. Out at his home on a cocoanut plantation in Fiji arold Gatly takes off on his f1nal flight - to join Wiley os t. • Ui ION - ln Tokyo, they have o new labor union - call e d "The Tokyo Resources Collector's Coo 1 erative A!sociation.• An im p res ~ ive title. Who belongs? hy, the regpickere. Those who hunt through the junk piles of thP city - collectin g old clothes, rags, bottles, paper, and so on. The ragpickers sell what they find - to the junk ealers. But, they say they are being victimized. Junk dealers don't p ay enough! Exploit the ragpickers! So this ex p oited group of the Japanese proletariat has forme a defensive union, to keep up the price of junk - •the Tokyo Resources Collector's Cooperative Association.• IA DS ------------ lf you want to ick up a bushel of diamonds, for nothing - head for ierra Leone, in ~ritish est Africa. i veryone in that terri ~ ory - seems to be gathering gems worth thousands of dollars - from the diamond mines. The s ituation, so out of hand that the Army has been called in to p olice the mines. It all started last l ednesday when the natives working in the mines - rioted. The police, unable to restore order - for twelve hours. In the meantime - thousands of natives swarmed into the area, harvesting the diamonds. The police unable to stop the pilfering, Joe, 11 · f h A 11 eanwhile,/the natives had made ca e~ or t e rmy. • off with bushels of diamonds. S - L - U - Monday.
