TRAFFIC COURT
SPEEDS CASES
New System Working Eff
ficiently for Defendants,
Legal Advisors

The new system of disposing Of
motor vehicle cases speedily has
been working we'll in traffic court.
Except for the first Monday when
the system went into effect, the
court has functioned smoothly, all
cases being cleared before 1890
o'clock.
The first Monday prosecutors and
court attaches were running
around the courtroom, and those
that had any were tearing their
hair. 1t seemed as if the new system
were going to fizzle.
However, it did not take long for
the staff to get accustomed to the
new routine with the result that
everyone, including the motoring
public, is satisfied.
Under the system, all but con-
tested cases are disposed of on the
day following the arrest. Contested
cases are continued until the Mon
day following the arrest.
In the old days, Monday was the
worst day on the weekly calendar
That was the day when scores of
motorists congregated in the hall
ways and in the "Smoke-filled ROOM
where the prosecutor held sway,
Now the halls are relatively clear on
Mondays, and there is little smoke
in the small room.

lieutenant.
Up to the announcement Of the
sc, 600 airplane goal by the Pres
ident, the army's plans provided
for a total strength Of 1900 flying
officers by July /, 1941. The new
plan, of course, has scrambled all
calculations.
NAVY HAS ONLY
ONE AIR SCHOOL
Although the new expansion
program may change things,
the navy so far does not take fly
ing cadets from civilian flying
schools. It's air school Is at Pen
sacola, where q 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 to approximately the same
requirements as the army's air
corps cadets.
The navy's training aims to give
o flyer all Of the experience
which the army splits up among
its various 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 separate air
corps, but Jumps all its flying &C
itvities under the Bureau Of Aero
nautics. This bureau Is run by
Rear Admiral j. H. Towers, the
Oldest navy flyer in the service.
Pending legislation will expand

6OO.
Armys air corps is rather more
q separate institution than the
navy's. It Is run by two major
generals - Henry Arnold chief Of
the corps, and his assistant, Delos
G. Ammons. There are three
brigadier generals under them as
assistant chiefs, and five more
who serve as wing commanders.
An exact picture Of the way the
services will rush their training
programs so as to man their
vastly enlarged air fleets can't be
given yet, because the services
themselves aren't sure. Training
time will assuredly be cut, both
in the civilian schools and at the
regular service training centers.
Also. something will be done TO
make available to the services the
thousands Of college and high
school students who are getting
training under the new Civil
Aeronautics Authority program.
