Racause commercial air trans

personnel plays so important a roie'

It is true that if we measure

came situation exists with otfer air

Air lires place great emphasis
on trained personnel, and no other
industry represents a better ex-
annie of the need Of proper tram

have flown nearly Is months with

Trained personnel is fundamen-

better that the pilot who flies IT,
the mechanic who services 1t, the
meteorologist who plots course

who sells a ticket to passenger

Because it is an industry widely
regarded as having a great future
and because it is the Kind Of

been fortunate in attracting high

The Imperial Valley Press put out
an extra edition twenty years ago,
announcing the selection of Warren

The paper was earmarked as the
Chicago Convention Extra. Extra

The headline read:

The story, which was printed in

convention opened. A few states
held presidential preference pri-

states were divided among the lead

600 out of 982 delegates were not

Bordeaux Becomes
Emergency Capital
For Third Time
Location Is Convenient
For Moving to Afrieo
or America

Bordeaux, successor to Tours for
the dangerous honor of receiving
the French, government, has pre-
viously served twice as an emergency
capital in the last three quarters of
a century, says bulletin from the
National Geographic Society.
During the Frsnco-Prussian War
of 1870, when the Germans occu-
pied Paris, as they DO TO-DAY, Bor~
deaux was for three months the
French provisional headquarters.
Again, in 1914, when the Germans
were thrown back only II miles short
of the real capital, Bordeaux be-
came a little Paris as diplomats
and journalists, deputies and actors
joined the French President, min
listers and their families in their
temporary haven some 300 air miles
southwest of Paris.
with 100000 inhabitants, Bor-
deauX is the most remote large city
from the present war areas. 1t is
less than 400 miles, as the bomber
flies, from the nearest Italian air
field. Normally the ceuntry's chief
port for the southwest, it might also
be convenient spot from which the
government of France could move to
possessions in Africa or America If
that step became necessary.
Bordeaux, in peacetime a great
wine center and shipbuilding city,
became familiar to American dough-
boys in the last World War, when
northern ports of entry were in
accessible. United States engineers
then greatly improved docking facil-
tiles of the port to meet wartime
needs"
