To In 1924, three local fliers named Walter Beech, Clyde Cessna and Lloyd Stear-ma- n got together in Wichita to form a company called Travel Air Manufacturing Company. To prove the reliability of tiie Travel Air planes, the officers of the company would fly them to both races and reliability competitions. The company flourished for several years, but the stock market crasli and the natural cantankerousness of Kansas pilots led to a splltup. In the 1930s all three men had their own companies.

Meanwhile, the most famous small plane maker of them all developed independently in the Alleghenies of central Pennsylvania. At Lock Haven in 1936, William Piper Sr., a oil man, bought the Taylor Brothers Aircraft Corporation and its new line of Cubs. Piper had never been in aviation before, but he knew something about producing and merchandising, and soon the Piper Cub had become the Model T of flying, the most successful airplane of all time. ft ' Latest Claim : Hitler Is Alive In Paraguay Mystery man By JOHN WILSON Copley News Service A mystery SAO PAULO, BRAZIL man in dark glasses called a press conference here recently to announce that Adolf Hitler still lives. was the most spectacular of the many such announcements that have come out of South America since 1961 when Adolf Eichmann, the Nazis The k r police to hideout of Nazi Fuhrer. fled Hitlers body by his teeth was dismissed as an obvious precaution, imitating the dental work to throw off the daim expert in mass murder, was kidnaped and spirited out of Argentina by Israel Secret Agents. The mystery man, who identified himoffered to take self only as Louis, international police to the hideout of the World War II German Fuhrer. Hitler is fatter, a little addled, balding and has chopped off his moustache, but he is still healthy, he said. Louis said Hitler lives in a camp in Paraguay, along with two other Nazis, Hitlers top aide Matin Bormann and concentration camp doctor Josef Men-gele. Paraguayan'' government officials permit their presence, he said. That is the catch which makes approaching the camp dangerous. A recent Russian claim to have identi- - often to take international , scent. has been allegedly seen many times since Eichmanns trial and execution. Recently Parana State Police arrested a man they claimed was Mengele, only to later disclaim It. A year ago, the leading Sao Paulo afternoon newspaper, Joroal Da Tarde, published a report on Nazis living on tiie border where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay ' meet at Iguacu Fallsl Mengele In 1962, a reporter produced a photostatic copy of Mengeles documents indicating Mengele had become a Paraguayan citizen. Bormann has been variously reported in Chile, Argentina and the Brazilian states of Rio Grande Do Sui and Santa Catarina, where he is supposed to live in German Immigrant communities. In 1967, Recife, Police caused a brief furor when they claimed to have arrested him. ' It turned out to be only a former Lieutenant in the SS. In 1967, victims of Nazism got encouragement with the arrest of Franz Stangl, commandant at Treblinka Death Camp during the height of extermination of Jews. Stangl had been tranquilly living in Sao Paulo with his family and working at the local Volkswagen factory, Stangl was extradited to Austria, his homeland. At that time the West German to government Initiated proceedings extradite Bormann. Only to be ready when he is caught, said an embassy official. ' In 1965, Josef Cukurs, an Estonian Nazi charged with ordering the murder of 40,000 Jews, was lured to Montevideo and assassinated with a hammer. He had lived openly in Rio De Janeiro since 1950. Simon Wiesenthal, the world-famoNazi hunter, said in a recent interview that between 6,000 and 7,000 Nazi war criminals live in Latin America, the majority in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. He heads the Nazi Documentation Center in Vienna which discovered the whereabouts of Stangl and Eichman. The Nazis transferred huge funds to Argentina before the war ended, said Some now live quite openly Wiesenthal. near Bariloche, Argentina; others are in Paraguay. He said Brazil was the only Latin American country where his center could count full cooperation from police. But the big game are along tiie Par- ana River where the three countries meet, said Wiesenthal. I am certain that Bormann and Mengele are there moving among comfortable camps hidden by jungle and rivers. Former Brazilian Federal Police Chief, Col. Florisman Campello, disagrees with Wiesenthal. On our side of the Parana border, no Nazi camps he said. We have thoroughly exist, searched the area. The border area north and south of Iguacu Falls is developing rapidly, with roads and settlers, and wild spaces where Nazis could hide are being re-- . duced. But an air of intrigue is attached to the Parana River. Smuggling in speedboats and private planes is a roaring business, and prospectors and cattlemen contribute to a tolerant outlook such as existed In the early Western United States.

He also has visited and filmed art work in many studios, workshops museums, schools, and parks in this country, lie has lectured widely and indicated the trends that are the children of the marriage between art and technology. I report, McMullen says, but I do not judge or predict." How does one describe the works he has filmed? Much of our vocabulary is no longer useful," he observes. Words, and such as perspective, color, media,' often do not apply anymore. Artists that he has interviewed g such as Schoffer, Takis, and are using new tools. These new tools include reflectors, strobe light, mechanical principles, magnetism, microphones, and computers. And they make our traditional artistic categories obsolete. McMullen points ouL Vasarely complies abstractly with Wen-Yln- colors and forms that can be rendered !n any material. Telling us what a work of art means used to be the province of critics. But, today, one of the aims of modem art is to get the spectator to participate actively enough to forget the meaning. McMullen also points out that computers are simulating the way the human mind works and are attempting to find answers. By studying why one computer can distinguish shape and not substance, for example, perhaps man can learn more about his own powers of perception mi discover why he reacts in different ways to different works ot art. This might enable art critics to devise new artistic categories and a more relevant vocabulary with which to describe the art of the 21st Century. t - Two tanIRON CURTAIN ORGAN gible links with the 18th Century have been built into the organ that is now being installed for the Winston Churchill Memorial at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, where Sir Winston coined the phrase, Iron Curtain during a cele brated speech that he delivered there The organ was made in London by N.

By GEORGE C. THOSTESON, M.D. Dear Dr. Thosteson: Is there any diagnostic benefit from heart catheterization other than to determine the possibility or advisability of having heart surgery? Is it considered an operation? About how long does the procedure take? What degree of risk is involved? E.S. Answer: Best way I can answer this question is to say that heart catheterization can provide quite a few types of information which cannot be as accurately determined by any other method. Deciding whether heart surgery is advisable is very often the principal purpose, but this is not necessarily always the case. The procedure is to insert a catheter, or supple tube, into a vein, usually in the arm, and slide it gently upward through the vein. As Veins lead ultimately to the heart, that is where the catheter w'iU go.
