WASHINGTON. July 17.-The
expansion which other arms OF the
service would undertake only IN
case of war is already under way IN
army and navy flying forces.
Looking ahead to huge enlarge
ment as a major part Of the present
,rearmament program, the two lily
ff1g services are now debating ways
and means of hurryin9 up'the pilot
training programs.
Their Job is infinitely tougher
than it was during the World War,
since military flying is far more
complex art now than it was then.
In 1918 young aviation officer
might be sent to active service af-
ter only 10 or dozen hours in
the air; today, it Is figured that a
young man needs from 40 to SO
hours of flying time before he can
even start to learn the precision
flying necessary in both the army
and the navy.
Train Four Months
Base of the army's pilot training
system is a group of nine civilian
aviation schools which have con-
tracts with the government.
The cadet gets four months OF
Imperial Valley press., 1940-07-17

this training. Graduating, he goes
to one of the army's basic training
fields for another four-month
course. After this he is eligible for
his final four-month course in
advanced flying at famous Kelly
Field, near San Antonio.
Cadets are drawn from two
sources: West Point graduates who
elect to enter the air corps, and
youths from civilian colleges. Al
ter graduation from Kelly Field,
West Pointers may permanently
transfer to the air corps. The eX-
civilian gets commission in the
reserve corps, with seven years OF
active duty ahead of him. In either
case, the rank is second lieutenant
UP to the announcement of the
so 600 -airplane goal by the Presi-
dent, the armys plans provided for
a total strength of 46OO flying Off
GERS by July l. l941. The new plan,
of course, has scrambled all calcula-
tons.
One Air School
Although the new expansion pro-
gram may change things, the navy
so far does not take flying cadets
from civilian flying schools. It's air
school is at Pensacola. where a full
year course is offered.
Cadets are either regular navy
ensignS-Annapolis graduates with
two years of sea Service-or lads
from civilian colleges. subject {,
approximately the same requirements
as the army's air corps cadets.
The navy's training aims to give
flyer all of the experience which
the army splits up among its var
iouS schools.
If he is an Annapolis man, OF
course. he continues with his reg
ular commission; if he came from
civil life. he becomes an ensign
in the reserves on extended active
duty.
The navy hasn't a separate air
corps, but Jumps all its flying ac-
tivities under the Bureau of Aero
nautics. This bureau is run by Rear
Admiral j. H. Towers, the Oldest
navy flyer in service.
Pending legislation will expand
the navy's pilot training facilities
ia line with proposed increase of
the air forces. Plans would ex-
pand two air fields located at Mi
ami and Jacksonville, Fla, and es-
tablish emergency training facili-
ties there.

If you want to be smart-BE
YOURSELF.
Don't let your clothes or your
makeup stamp you as being some
thing you're not. First impressions
do count.
The smart girl is not presump-
tuous enough to think that new
acuuaintances have time to look un-
der the surface to find out that
her unattractive appearance really
hides a heart of gold or a fine
mind.
And she wouldn't dream of put
ting loyal friends in the position of
having to say, jamie isn't like that
underneath. You mustn't judge jamie
by her looks"
She avoids, for instance, the
plush-horse" look This can be
achieved simply by wearing an
elaborate dress, then adding a
necklace, two bracelets, dangling
earrings, a dropping face veil, a
couple of large rings and a lapel
ornament.
The jewelry may be good, the
dress expensive, but the wearer will
give the distinct impression that
she is dressed up with no place to
go.

Expansion Underway In
Navy. Army Air Force

The navy has 1923 flying officers,
now, including $50 reserves and 597
enlisted men qualified as pilots,
Marines have 1886 pilots, making
the navy-marine total 1858.
Pilot Output
The present program is turning
out 155 pilots a month: under the
proposed expansion, this would be
stepped up to $50 month. That
way, it is figured that the navy
will have the following totals Of
pilots:
By July /, lS4l, 1850; by July
/, 1912, $500; by July /, 1943, 1900,
and by July l, 1914, 1880.
