ARMY AV|AT0RS
 ARE ALLFIT MEN
Rigid Requirements for Those
 Who Would Fly

Washington, Sept. 9 'R-The l man who aspires to become an Army aviator must be a good deal better than good. Physically he must be just about perfect. In addi- ton to the physical standards re- quired for enlistment in other branches, he must pass tests work ed out by the medical section Of the Air Corps.
 One vital requirement for the aviator, says Lieut.. Col. Levi II. Hathaway, chief of the section, is that his vision must be normal in every way. The applicant is tested for depth of perception, and ability to estimate distances accurately. for eye muscle balance and for the power of accommodation for vision near and distant.
 There are special tests also to determine his equilibrium, which is an important factor in flying, and q thorough neuropsychic examina- tion is made to determine nervous and mental stability to withstand the stresses incident to flying.
 Unlike many callings, aviation, Col Hathaway says, has developed no occupational diseases. Neverthe- less, the stress of flying. the roar of the motor, the effects of high alti tude and of rapid changes in alti- tude. do bring strain upon various organs and systems of the body, That Is to be expected, the colonel points out, when it is recognized that the human body was not primarily fashioned for flying and is subjected by aviators 10 an en- vironment unnatural to man.

PLANES FACTOR IN
 FUTURE SEA FIGHT
Hundreds Of Aircraft to Aid
 Navy Fleet in Battle

A vast screen of airplanes for the American fleet, even when bat ting far from home waters. Is the end toward which naval experts are now working. Every fighting ship will carry it's quota of planes to supplement those passing on the fleet of aircraft carriers which will be formed with the coming into commission of the Lexington and Saratoga,
 With even the most conservative of the old navy men realizing that the first task in the sea of battle in the future will be that of clearing the air of enemy planes. experts pie ture such clashing of major sur face fleets something like thisS
 With contact established with the enemy there would arise from each American battleship, cruiser, destroyer and submarine, plane after plane. until several hundred were soaring away on their mission.
 Augmenting these would rome the combat planes and hombers from the aircraft carrying fleet numbering hundreds more. Battle between the opposing air forces would be staged over the tract of sea separating the surface fleets.
 The air force wineng to victory, naval experts say. would insure vic tory for its surface fleet unless, there was an overwhelming pre- ponderance of numbers against 1t.
 These experts declare that with out aircraft to spot its hits and cor rect the fire to bear directly on the enemy ships, fleet would have lit tic chance against another Of any thing like equal strength having an air force for that purpose.
 Then, too, the bombing planes would be free to carry out their operations against the enemy, which would be obliged to divide its atten- ton against air as we'll as shell fire and torpedo attack.
 Some American naval experts contend that the American Navy now Is at least five years ahead of any other in the matter of equipping its fighting craft with planes.
 They say this is the result of fourteen years of experiments begin ming with to'castle deck runway on the old cruiser Pennsylvania now the Pittsburgh and leading to the revolving catapult now in use
 Two catapults are to be placed on each of the authorized eight new 10000 ton scout cruisers. five Of which now are under construction.
 Experiments are also being con- ducted in launching aircraft from swift moving destroyers, and the fleet submarines with such initial success as to indicate that this plan will be entirely feasible.

 Each hattleship and each cruiser is equipped with one or two re- volvins catapults, the advantage of which is that less maneuvering of the ship is necessary to get the plane pointed into the wind for its take-off.
