CHANCE TO BE
BRITISH FLIERS
Youths Enlist as Appren-
tees for Long Serv-
ice Periods
BY DAN ROGERS
United Press Staff Correspondent

SHlNcu Icso 1N'h 'N'pNN
LONDON. April 16. (UP).--
Britain will have no lack OF men
to fly and service the 10000
fighting planes the rcarmamcnt
program will provide.
The romance attached TO flying
and the fact that aviation Grades
have a bright future have relieved
the Royal Air Force Of recruiting
problems faced by the army. Also,
the pay is better, since there is
greater risk, but this very element
Of adventure and danger draws a
high type Of recruit TO the Raj.
Alone Of tho three services, the
air force is ahead Of schedule on
personnel expansion, and, with the
impetus Of the tremendous apprO-
priation of $lI2,500,000 for 1887
an increase Of $l60,000,000
over last year and approximately
four times the amount Of 1884
service in the Raj. is expected
to be made even more attractive
to British youth.
ENLIST AS APPRENTICES
The term youth is used advised
~. Since early in 1885 the Raj.
has enlisted more than 5000 boys,
aged ID to II, as aircraft apprcn-
tees. When they reach IS. they
automatically enter n l2-ycar en-
liStmcnt period, which may be
extended TO "a years. They are
taught aircraft trades and duties.
If they show especial attitude
they become pilots.
The requirements of intclli-
gcncc. education and physique are
higher in the Raj. than the other
services, and. although the army
and navy also take boys, the air
force places the greater accent on
youth.
An intelligent enlisted man who
becomes a sergeant pilot or flight
sergeant pilot not only has learn
cd valuable trade. but he is far
more fortunate than Il man of
equal rank in the army or navy in
regard TO pay. Base pay for a SER
gcant pilot is $3.l2 a day, which
rises with promotion and length OF
service. a certain number become
commissioned officers.
$500 PILOTS NEEDED
When the present expansion oil
the air force. greatly accelerated
BY rearmament, was begun in 1885
it was announced that $500 pi-
lots and 10000 aircraftSmcn were
needed by April |. 1887. Some
500 pilots were obtained from the
enlisted personnel. The test came
from civilian life, the majority OF
them entered as officers on short
term (four year, commissions. In
this group young men "of good
personality and education" from
Is to 25 were accepted, and
trained at Raj. schools.
There were many more appli-

year-old sleeping beauty" from
the coma that has locked her mind
in inconsistencies for 10 years,
doctors agreed today.
Unlike Chicago's Patricia Ma

monia after a five-year slumber,
Miss Buschmann is not suffering
a form of sleeping sickness.
Her condition is caused by in
jured brain cells which have
failed to heal since Miss Busch
mann was struck by a motor bus
in Ohio while a student at the
Lake Erie College for Women in
1927. She has never spoken since
Following the accident, doctors
had hoped that time would knit
the wounds of the brain. When
that failed, they resorted to out
side influences in an effort to
rouse her from the coma. Music
was tried. College classmates were
brought to her bedside to talk to
her, but she failed to recognize
them.
Today doctors report no change
in the girls condition. They hold
no hope for her recovery unless
science finds a way to solve the

In tragic contrast to that age

The strange, sorry love story OF
Patricia Mcguire was thus unfolded
today as her body lay in a satin
lined coffin in the living room OF
her small suburban home.

The account Of Patricia Ma

death on Tuesday after lying in
q coma for 81 months has been
told in detail

grief-stricken beside her bier did
more than q handful Of people
know that James Burns, IS, had
been devoutly in love with her
through the years and never gave
I'D plans for the wedding that will
never be.
Although not formally engaged
Patricia had her hope chest ready
and the marriage was tentatively
set for sometime in June, 1882. In
February she contracted the
sleeping sickness which led to her
death.
BITTER MEMORIES
And among the bitter memories
Of her family and young Burns
was that she never awakened, even
long enough to know he was still
there.
For in all that time he wasn't
long away. Mrs. Peter Miley, the
girls mother, was perhaps the
only one who kept a steadier vigil

daily he telephoned.
SAW ATTACK COMING
Burns and Miss Mcguire met in
1928. They went together almost
steadily during the next four
years.

She went to sleep several times
while I was talking, and would

she went to sleep, but every
day 1t would be the same story.
Mrs. Miley and I talked over
what we'd do when Pat woke up.
It seems strange even now that
she never will"
MOTHER RECONCILED
Mrs. Miley was reconciled to her
loss today. With the result Of an
autopsy, she was given to realize
that Patricia perhaps never would
have been normal had she sur
vived. Poison from the encepha-
litis lethargica had destroyed a
portion Of her brain and doctors
believed the entire nervous Sys-
tenn had been permanently dis
abled in the long siege.
The brain of her daughter Mrs.
Miley willed to science, and a
minute examination of it was to
be made in the hope Of finding
q clue to the cause of her battling
illness.
But Patricia's heart, which she
herself gave away more than five
years ago, still belonged to James
Burns.

Negro Students Active
In Campus Activities
At Ohio State

Contrary to the prevailing opinion
that Negro students take little or
no part in campus activities-th the
students at Ohio State univerity are
very much i'm on campus affairs.
Politics offers the largest field Of ac--
tivity. Organized interest in campus
politics dates back to the year Of
I933-34 when the group obtained
the Craftsmanship Of the cap and
gown committee and membership on
two other important senior class
committees, by supporting one Of the
two major combines.
This year, under the leadership Of
Henry Parks, Jra the students
hacked the Scarlet and Gray Com
bine, which lost the key position
the Senior class president-by only
five votes. According to Parks, even
though the Scarlet and Gray lost,
the Negro students are quite lubi-
liant over the out come because it is
easily seen that they constitute q
balance Of power. II Is expected
that both combines will offer posi-
tions to members of the group in
order to win support for next year.
Parks is planning to take very ae--
tive part in building the political
machines for the next election.
Other Fields
Politics is not the only field OF
activity The two sororities and
three fraternities have banded to-
gether to form kOADA Council. It's
president Is Arthur Ware Of Pitts
burgh, Pa. This organization has
been successful In obtaining a scat
on the Student Senate. This IN itself
Is quite an accomplishment. The

Gil. Arthur Ware, has distinguished
himelf by serving on many COM
