Explorer Hubert Wilkins Discusses
'Pacific Air Control' in Union Sunday
Sir Hubert Wilkins, Australian
born, internationally known ex
plorer and fact finding observer of
world affairs is scheduled to speak
in the Union ballroom Sunday eve
ning at 8 o'clock. His address,

the Pacific," is part of the uni
versity convocation series co-sponsored
by the Union and the eon
vocation committee. John Jay
Douglass, head of the entertain
ment committee for Union board
managers, will introduce Sir Hu
bert. Sir Hubert made aviation his
tory in Alaska by being the first
to undertake aerial delivery of
freight from Fairbanks to Point
Barrow over the northern end of
the Rocky Mountains. He was
one of the pioneers of Alaskan
Aerial Transport, an agency which
has done much to open up for de
velopment what is now the spear
head of American aerial defense
and our fitst line of defense in the
northern Pacific.
Shows Air Importance.
As the first to cross the Arctic
ocean by airplane and the first to
fly over the Anarctic region, Sir
Hubert has demonstrated the im
portance of aviation in making
the earth's most remote places ac
cessible. During 1937 he was called upon
to direct the aerial search for
Sigismund Levaneffsty and his
five companions lost on Aug. 13,
1937, on the attempted flight
from Russia to the United States.
In the search Wilkins was the first
to fly by Arctic moonlight during
the long winter night in search
of the missing men.
Although he participated in
seven expeditions to the polar re
gions during his 25 years of ex
ploration, Sir Hubert is rated one

closing in on the French capitnl
and all normal means of transpor
tation from the doomed city
severed. Before finally making
his escape by bicycle and on Toot,
Sir Hubert had attempted to pet
to England by air in a plane shot

after it had left the airport. For
20 consecutive years he had be en
an annual visitor to Europe, had

ment to demonstrate the value of
the submarine as a means of
transportation in the Arctic was
to have been continued but the
war intervened. In 1931 Wilkins
crossed 5,000 miles of ocean, and
came within 450 miles of his goil
the North Pule in the submar
ine "Nautilus."
Soon after the United States en
