Bury Eielson In Arlington: Manger Of Relief Operations Suggests Honor For Flyer. BURY EIELSON IN ARLINGTON Manager of Relief Operations Suggests Honor for Flyer. NOME, Jan. 2S. (/P)—While the search for the bodies of Pilot Carl Ben Eielson and Mechanic Earl Borland was under way in the bleak Siberian wastes 90 miles southeast of North Cape, Alfred J. Lomen, manager of relief operations, wired Graham B. Governor, president of the Aviation corporation in New York, suggesting that the body of Colonel Eielson, when found, be laid at rest in Arlington national cemetery, providing Eielson's parents would consent. Eielson was characterized by Governor Parks as the "father of Alaskan aviation." Governor Parks declared that "Eielson helped more than any other man to develop air travel in the territory over routes formerly traveled slowly by dog teams."
