"Youth Must Be
Served" "--Revised

Washington, d. C. QLNS).-'Twas
Saturday evening when office build
ing staffs, and radio station stats as
well, are reduced to skeleton proper
tions. One elevator, instead of the
usual three, was operating in the
Earle Building, which houses WJSV
of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn.
Aubrey Williams, director of the
National Youth Administration, fea-
tured guest of Albert N. Dennis on
the 371st broadcast of WJSV's Labor
News Review" had arranged to be at
the studios between 500 and 5:15 for
a check-up on time, etc, before 60
ing "on the air" at $50.
The appointed time passed by, but
no Mr.. Williams. Some plain and
fancy worry on the part of members
of the staff (union announcers and
union technicians) increasing to fran
tic fear of the worst, did not improve
the situation. However, like all good
heroes, the distinguished guest event
ually arrived, painting and perspiring,
just in time to "go on" without the
planned rehearsal.
1t developed that the youthful new
elevator operator had left his job flat,
without stopping to notify anyone. A
crowd, including Mr.. Williams, grad
ually gathered on the ground floor
and waited impatiently for elevator
service. At long last, sensing some
unusual difficulty and fearing he
might miss the big broadcast, the
alert National Youth Administrator
took to the stairs. He ran up eight
double hights-16 half-story flights of
steps, with Is landings-an elegant
coat tail spreading to the breeze as
he deftly rounded each corner. He
arrived in Studio 3, eighth floor, just
in the proverbial nick of time. The
show went on!
p. S.-"Fitz," one Of WJSV's crack
PBX-ers, called the building engineer
first word to the management that
the elevators were down. That worthy
gentleman (union, of course) per-
sonally got an elevator functioning
about the time the popular Labor
News Review signed off-so the
monitor of Americas underprivileged
youth was spared the long trek down.

Cont Be Dumb And
Be An Army Pilot
Takes About Seven Months
To Absorb Trdining of
Army Air Corps

Educational qualifications for Avia-
tion Cadets of the Army Air Corps
are maintained at high level to in
sure that they will be able to learn,
in a comparatively short time, the
, many things they must master before
they can properly become Air Corps
pilots, Sgt. Donal Frazer, Post Office
Building, Canton, O., said today, dis
cussing the necessity of pre-training
education.
"An Aviation Cadet has a lot to
learn and the more he knows before
he starts absorbing what the Army
has to teach him, the easier it will be
for him to assimilate all the technical
problems of flying when they are pre-
sented to him." Sgt. Frazer said.
"Ordinarily, a man is transformed
from civilian into an Army pilot in
about seven months. That's not long,
considering the number Of things he
has to learn, so it's a great help if he
knows something before he starts"
"a basic training airplane, which
ANldtlOl SduCtS uSC w I'LL w H. (,
has 70 different gadgets on it's instru-
ment board. Every one of them is
important to the operation Of the
plane and every one involves some
intricate problem of flying.
"Take a thing called a radio COM
pass oscillator dial Why, | don't
even know what it is, and l doubt if
you do. But an Aviation Cadet does
Besides, he knows what it is for, how
1t works, why it works. He can proba-
bly, recite for you the basic scientific
principle which gave the idea to the
inventor.
"If it were only a matter of teach
ing a man to take plane off the
ground and set it back down again."
Sgt. Frazer continued, at would be
fairly simple to get pilot material and
it wouldn't take long to make pilots,
either. But it's not that easy. An
Aviation Cadet has to know more
than how to steer plane. He has to
know about the weather, for instance.
Not just that some days it rains and
some days it doesn't-but why. He
has to know what makes plane fly
aerodynamics, radial and milne en-
gines, airfoils, and all that. He has
to know radio, inside and out. He's
technician as well as a pilot.
"That's why the Air Corps requires
that Aviation Cadet applicants have
completed their high school educa-
tions and, in addition, can pass ex-
aminations in certain other subjects
which show that they have a funda-
mental knowledge which will enable
them to grasp the things they will
have to learn before they can fly for
the Army. Or, they may show they
have college credits in those subjects
or have completed two years of col
lege education.
"The other requirements are simple
enough. They must be between the
ages Of 20 and 26 yars, inclusive, and
in good physical condition. When the
Air Corps takes them in, they're good
men, all right, but when it finishes
with them and places second lieuten-
ants bars on their shoulders and
starts paying them $205.50 to S245.5O
month, they're the BEST" Sgt.
Frazer concluded.

were the frank and revealing report of Legis-

Finally Jones pointed to the betrayal of
labor by many of its alleged friends in Con-
