more than mere speculation as no
person will discuss with the PreSi-
dent any matters pertaining to a
successor for Howe as the late
secretary was the Chief Execu-
tive's close friend and they are
averse to mentioning his death.
Certainly Stephen Early and
Marvin H. Mcintyre, assistant sec
retaries to the President, would
not mention the situation to
President Roosevelt.
As far as the Cabinet post for
West is concerned, there is little
probability that President Roose-
welt would name him as a mem
Der of the official family under
existing conditions.
West, as far as the Chief Exec
utive is concerned, has performed
excellent service in his role as
liaiSon officer between the White
House and the Capitol.
There are few men who could
render the service to the Presi-
dent in the same manner as it
has been given by West.
There is another angle to re.
ports of Vests appointment as a
Cabinet officer. He would have
to be confirmed by the Senate.
Mr.. West might meet with some
opposition as far as confirmation
is concerned although there is
little doubt that the Senate would
eventually accept Mr.. RooSevelt'S
recommendation.
However, West was the agent
for the Chief Executive in the
fight on the holding bill and the
opponents Of that measure have
not forgotten the part the White
House liaison officer played in
that role.
To say the least, there would
be some strenuous objections in

Training for Defense
Blu James T. Williams, Jr.

There Is a vast difference be-
tween the training required to
turn out an effective military
pilot and that necessary to quail
ify a pilot for the tasks Of civil
aviation.
This difference has been the
subject of careful studies here
and abroad. All of these studies
lead to the conclusion that ex-
tremely high mental. physical
and moral standards must be
maintained in military flying.
At Roosevelt Field, Texas, the
United States has developed a
system of training military pilots
which both foreign and domestic
experts agree is the best in the
world.
Congress wisely provided at
large expense for the building OF
this Air Corps training center in
order that all primary training
for military flying might be cen
tralized at this new West Point
of the Air"
Today this Training Center Is
large enough and we'll enough
equipped to meet the reasonable
demands in time of peace for the
military training of pilots for the
Regular Army and the Air Corps
Reserve.
ROOSEVELT FIELD
To those readers who have re-
Gently inquired about the Air
Corps Training Center, this de-
scription of what happens to a
young American fortunate enough
to go from West Point or some
authorized r. o. T. c. college to
the Training Center at Roosevelt
Field should prove helpful:
"The Army flying cadets life
at the Air Corps Training Cen
ter is closely supervised for al
most every hour during the en-
tire period of training.
"The personnel who super
wise and instruct him are care
fully selected for their particu-
lar qualifications and expert
ence in handling men. Every
provision is made to guard the
health Of students and to keep
them in first-claSS physical con-
ditiOn.
Much thought and attention
are given to acquainting students
with the customs of the service
with a view to qualifying them
to become efficient officers Of
the Air Corps Reserve or the
regular Army.
During the first four months
Of the flying cadets training at
Randolph Field only a small part
Of each day is devoted to flying.
Beginners can absorb only so
much flying instruction in any
one day. To attempt to give
them more would be a waste of
time and effort. Accordingly,
their technical and military
training must be continuous
with their flying training.
"SOme of the technical sub
jectS taught at the Air Corps
Training Center are also taught
at civilian flying schools.
There are many subjects,
however, taught at the Air Corps
Training Center which are not

and cannot be taught at the
civilian flying schools. Further.
more. the equipment used in
teaching subjects at the training
center is military equipment
with which the students must
be familiar when they take their
places in the tactical OrganiZa-
ton.
"The actual flying of the air.
plane Is but a small part, al.
though a vital one, in the train
ing of a military pilot. and the
training given by civilian flying
schools is not similar to mill.
tary training.
DIFFERENT OBJECTIVE
1.-THE educational and mill
tary standards Of the Air Corps
Training Center are funda-
mentally different from those
Of civilian flying schools. This is
natural because the detectives

daily military life while he u
undergoing such instruction as
it is for succeeding flying hours
and periods of training. His
attention Is focused on his fu-
ture duties as a military pilot
from the moment he reports
to the Training Center.
"Tn fact, the year a student
spends there, If he is fortunate
enough to complete the course,
is all too short to give him the
full measure Of training which
is required.
"There is another phase in
the military flying instruction
of a student at the Air Corps
Training Center which diStin-

non-military flying schools.
military student pilots are
given a maximum amount of
supervision during their entire
flying training course.
"The primary flying school Is
divided into two stages. The
student receives four months of
instruction in each stage. Un-

This glimpse of the life of a fl
ing cadet at Randolph Field oem

in providing for training of mill
tary pilots at that West Point o
