Dreamboat Ends Long Hop From Honolulu To Cairo
The Pacusan Dreamboat B 29 landed at Payne Field near Cairo after a 39 hour 36 minute test flight from Honolulu via the Arctic Circle. Col Irvine said the mission proved the aircraft could defend the United States anywhere. The crew exhausted fuel to 400 gallons of 13 000, and the voyage spurred notes on polar navigation, communications, and weather. Magnetic pole observations suggested it lies about 200 miles north of the conventional location, a point echoed by astronomer Sir Harold Spencer Jones.

Raeder seeks passing over life sentence in trial
Raeder asked the Nürnberg court to change his sentence to a passing rather than life terms. He argued a public safety risk and his weak bodily resistance justify a shorter punishment while maintaining a defense stance that he did not confess to crimes. The proceedings focused on Norway case references and potential penalties under Article 20.

Dragging operations under police supervision continue at Ross Lake south of Magrath to recover the bodies of two duck hunters who drowned when their boat capsized Friday afternoon. The victims are Jack Ellison and Ryerson Christie. Motor boats have been used, three more crafts taken to the lake, and a raft is being built. Hats and gloves of the victims have been found. The men sank in about 72 feet of water where heavy weeds may have hampered their search. Ellison is well known in stampede circles across the province.
