terial necessary to man our enlarged
fighting force of 5000 planes.
Moreover, the Spad pursuit plane
Maj. Rickenbacker was flying at the
close of the World War had a speed
of 1877 miles an hour. The expert
mental model 1t. Benjamin S. Kel-
sey recently flew from March Field,
Calf, to New York averaged better
than 300 miles an hour. The greater
the speed, the less time to make
decisions. The pilot today must be
more capable and better qualified in
score of ways than his World War
prototype.
During the war, approximately so
per cent of the applicants for flying
service were unable to measure up
to the physical requirements. De-
spite the need for greater accuracy
today to meet the demand for pilots
better qualified physically and men,
tally, the examinations now elm
mate approximately 78 per cent be-
fore they get into training, thus re-
ducing the training problem con-
siderably. This has been made pos
sible by exhaustive study over a
period Of years at the School of
Aviation Medicine, now at Randolph
Field, Tex, to determine just what
characteristics make up a military
pilot.

must be able to control his impulses,
anger. disappointments and even
his courage. How much greater
flyer he might have been had he
possessed greater emotional stability
is a matter for speculation. But a
paragraph from an official record
might be cited as an example of
cool, calculated courage:

Like Other Jobs.
Selection for the Air Corps, Col.
Beaven points out, is no different
in principle from selection for any
other vocation, and differs in
particulars only as aviation differs
from other lines of endeavor.
"The individual best suited for
military flying, besides having espe-
cially high physical qualifications,
Is one who would probably succeed
In any one of dozen different
jobs" he said. He is well rounded
individual capable of using his assets
to the best of his ability at all
times.
I'm general, achievement comes
as close to being an indicator Of an
individuals chances for success as
we can find. BY attempting to
analyze his reactions to experiences
in his past, we try to estimate his
adaptability to the experience we
know is before him. The attitudes
and habits he has acquired, together
with his physical makeup, will make
for success or failure"
Evening star., 1939-03-19

BY far the most important item
that makes up the total score, how
ever. is one called intellect" for
want of a better term, and which
takes in education, learning, men,
ory, interests, perception, compre-
hension, judgment. general adapt
ability and mental stability.
The minimum of two years COL
lege work required might seem arbi-
trary, with the case of Maj. Ricken-
backer an example in point. But
flying is more complicated and tech
nical than it was 20 years ago, and
flight surgeons have learned from
experience that cadets without the
academic knowledge and mental dis
ciplne acquired at college or uni
versity have to put so much time on
ground school work that their fly
ing suffers. Many individuals with
less than two years at college might
and actually do make good flyers,
but in large training program
their chances are not so good as
those of cadets with two years or
more of college training. In deal
ing with large program, the per-
centages count
Logical Use.
More important than mere &C
quiring of facts is the individuals
ability to put knowledge to logical
use. The flight surgeon is inter-
ested in knowing whether the
cadets college training has stimu-
lated his range Of interests, inquisi-
tiveness, clearness of ideas and
ability to form quick, rational judg-
ments. These factors are closely
related to his achievement record,
what are his aims in life, how he re-
acted to success or failure, how has
he taken advantage of his oppor-
tunities.. More important still Is his
emotional makeup. Is he phleg-
matte or hot tempered? Either
characteristic would disqualify him.
He must have imagination, en-
thusiasm, self-conf1dence and poise
neither in too great nor too small
degree.
On the emotional side, 1t. Luke's

Hard Program.
This study and the training of
flight surgeons did not take the form
of academic discussions on what
qualities pilot ought to possess,
but a hard-headed program of
scientific research. The school was
moved from Mitchell Field, Long Is
land. N. Y, in 1926, to the training
center then at Brooks Field, Tex,
and moved again when the training
center was transferred to Randolph
Field. Improvement in selection
technique was gained by the slow
process of making examinations of
the flying cadets entering the CEN
ter and formulating estimates of
their chances of completing the
course.
These estimates were filed away
without being shown to the instruc-
tors in order to prevent prejudg-
ment of any student. A year later,
the estimates were brought out of
the files and compared with the list
of graduates. The results in many
cases were surprising and served to
evolve a new conception of the rela-
tive importance of various qualifi-
cations. Frequent consultation with
the cadets during their training de-
veloped, too, that not every flyer is
a flying Instructor. With more
careful selection of instructors and
more experienced staff of exami-
ners, the proportion of students
eliminated during training has been
reduced in the past decade from IS
to IS per cent.
Adaptability Rating.
AS result of this study, the
School Of Aviation Medicine has
drawn up procedure for determin-
ing the adaptability rating of flying
candidates to supplement the phys
ical examination. In personal inter-
views, an experienced flight surgeon
covers mental and psychological
factors now considered of vital i'm
portance in the selection of flying
candidates, from family history and
environment to philosophy of life.

versed in the science Of aviation
medicine to conduct this specialized
examination in the field. Nor Is the
end in sight. Flight surgeons doubt
that any test can be devised that will
determine with 100 per cent accuracy
whether or not any individual per-
son can become a military pilot.
Evening star., 1939-03-19

Too many intangible mental and
psychological factors are involved.
But they have hopes Of eventually
cutting down the proportion of those
who are eliminated In training,
which is approximately IS per cent

Raleigh, Sept. 25.-Judge Wilson
Warlick has started something
worse than the idea of putting robes
on North Carolina's judiciary. He
has bought a Jail, though with 40
announced purpose Of keeping it
especially to house the criminals
who are convicted before him.
It opens up field hitherto un-
explored in North Carolina or, so
far as this column knows, anywhere
else; and there are vast possibili-
ties IN It.
Seriously speaking, Judge War
lick seems to have been hoisted on
his own petard, so to speak Cataw-
ba county wanted to get rid of its
old jail back last year, and the
judge, willing to help along, con-
tracted to bid $4,000 for it, appar-
emily believing there'd be a higher
bid.
But when Sheriff Ray Pitts put
the structure on sale Friday, no
body topped the judges offer, and
he seems headed for ownership.

OTHERS VIEWS
RIGHT MAN FOR GOVERNOR

TO the Editor:
The Democratic voters of North
Carolina cannot afford to let the
Eulop war divert their minds
from the most careful consideration
OF the availability and desirability
OF the most acceptable candidate
among the five who have been most
frequently mentioned for the sue
cessor to Governor HOey.
The next governor will have
great responsibility upon his should
ers If the war continues until then.
The people of the State will expect
nlm to measure up to the high STAN
dard Of Hoey, and if he fails to do
so his lot will be far from a happy
one.
The background, experience, tenn
permanent and the platform Of each OF
the five splendid gentlemen should
be closely scruinized, and after this
has been done, the man should be
nominated and elected who measures
up to the ideal of the voters. A can
ddate for the gOVernorshlp ought not
to be elected because of his wealth
tions. He should be selected because
of the contribution he has made to
his community welfare and his pro-
ven capacity to fill the office with
honor and distinction to both HIM
self and the state. He should be a
man of unimpeachable integrity and
loyal to his party and its platform.
If either of the five candidates now
in the limelight measures up to the
above specifications he deserves the
support of every Democratic voter
IN the state.
The Democrats cannot hope to con-
tinue in power in North Carolina
unless they select good and able men
for the gOVernOrship and lieutenant
goVernorship, and other responsible
positions. This State has been bless
ed with long line of great COVER
nors for half a century and it would
be tragedy to make a mistake at
this critical time Every Democratic
voter should take his conscience with
him to the ballot box next year
