BY JOHN w. DUNLAP

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb. 81
CUP)-The importance or national
defense and military affairs was
not overlooked by the 194l legisla-
ture.
The range of such legislation in
cluded appropriations for new ar
mories, proposed state defense coun-
ellis, more teeth" in treason laws,
sabotage, and protecting jobless
benefits rights of men in military
service.
The governors request for legal
lied state defense council deadlock
ed the special session in December,
brought three such bills in 1941.
The administration bill (AB2260,
Bennett, Thomas; SB1066, Garrison)
did not specify the number of mem
bers but required appointments to
be made with the advice and con-
sent of the senate, with the gov
ernor as chairman.
A 25-member board was suggest
ed (SB227, QUINN appointed by
the governor with consent of the
senate.
Sabotage would be added to the
treason clause of the penal code
tSB324, BiggaD but applicable only
if the United States is engaged in
war or when the governor proclaims
that an emergency exists in pre-
pairing for national defense. Sabo-
tage is divided into two degrees, the
first involving explosive, combustible
or inflammable substance to en-
danger human life, punishable by
death, and the second of all other
cases, five years to life in prison
Another sabotage bill would specify

Bills Before Legislature
Stress National Defense

Imprisonment up to 10 years and
fines up to $4,000 for intentional
interference with preparation for
defense or for war.
Oaths of allegiance included state
employees to swear to uphold the
constitution within 30 days (AB300,
Houser and remove any public en-
ploye from office for advocating
abolition by force or violence of
the constitution, and require an
oath before being employed (SBl32,
Biggar).
A "blackout' bill for national en-
Urgency was provided (AB1829, VOL
lenberg) while housing projects for
national defense workers were pro-
vided in. identical bills by Senator
Ed Fletcher (SB509) and Assembly,
man Augustus Hawkins (AB1038 g.
Bills on the new state guard
would provide 10000 men tAB151,
Lyon and the same number, with
$4,000 if the Governor deems neces-
sary CAB1810, Hawkins). A divi-
sion of the naval militia under the
division of military affairs was pro-
vided in ABl190, Evans.
The governor already has signed
ABBA, Thurman, to permit junior
colleges to have cadet corps like
high schools. One bill appropriated
$4,000 for such high school COM
panies (AB1506, Green) and another
raised the minimum from 40 to 100
enrolled to make high school elig-
ible.
A series of appropriation bills
included Fresno armory, $3.50 900;
first of series of five biennial ap-
preparations for constructing ade-

whole length. Then you get seated
in the cockpit.
Whitehead tests his engines. Then
he begins his check-up. You ask
him about a few of the 1872 instru-
ments. He says most of them do
not mean a thing. He says if you
just give him the Sperry directional
gyro and artificial horizon, he is
happy.
Remembering the difficulty in
crawling into the cockpit, you ask
him what happens when he wants
to get out quickly, as, for instance,
when pilot is making a crash
landing and knows the plane
probably will burst into flames.
Whitehead replies that when
that happens the pilot just does not
get out. 1t is only a matter of sec
onds until the bomber is enveloped
in flames after striking the ground.
He says the best bet is to bail out
while the machine is still in the
air. There are emergency matches

Army Food Bill
Million a Day

WASHINGTON, FEB. 81. (UP)-
1t will cost 100000 a day to feed
American defense forces when they
reach their presently authorized
strength of more than 100000 men.
The largest food bill-$750,0O0 a
day-will be necessary for the l.
100000 army men and officers in
service by June. The navy will pay
around $225,000 daily to feed its
projected ''two-ocean" force of 494,-
500 men and the marine corps will
spend about $4,000 for food when
it reaches its authorized strength
of $4,000 men. ....
The average is little less than
so cents a day for each man. The
army figures it spends so cents a
day for rations while the navy and
marine corps spend 46 cents day
for each man.

Here's Only American
Flying Big Raj Bomber

for that. one is directly over the
pilots head, but because the pilot
is like the captain of ship, he
cannot leave until the crew-the
navigator, second pilot, observer
and rear gunner-have cleared from
the plane.
Outside the plane once more, we
walk across the field where White
heads crew and men of other
Whitleys are awaiting their zero
hour. Only they don't act as if
it was zero hour as they stream out
from operational headquarters.
Whitehead goes back to his ma
chine with his crew. You say that
it is too bad the weather isn't bet
ter. Whitehead replies that wealth.
er does not mean thing to these
flyers. He goes inside his machine.
OFF INTO
THE MIST
Now. as a mere observer, you
move g good distance away from
his ship because he is giving his
engines their liberty.
The ground ropes are pulled and,
with a slow heave, the Whitley
rolls forward. 1t gathers momentum
as it reaches midfield. Its tail comes
up and then the plane is up in
the air. Other Whitleys follow and
then you turn away, because there
is nothing more to watch. They
have all disappeared in the mist
at the far end of the field.
Next morning you learn White
head has returned from his mis-
sion. The official communicate says ::
''All aircraft returned safely"

LONDON, Feb. 27.-(By Wire
less)-The big 15-ton Whitley
stands there in the rain, its pro-
pellers slowly turning. In another
10 minutes it will be rolling across
the airdrome on another raid over
German-occupied France.
Standing alongside this giant
Whitley you wonder how any pilot
can make the engines lift such a
ponderous weight off this rain
swept flying field. Then Charlie
Whitehead of Brooklyn, N. Y,
comes waddling out from the hang
ar, encased in flying suit and heavy
lined boots, and all complete with
parachute and other equipment
which adds about SO pounds to his
weight.
Somehow, catching his determin-
ed air, you know he will get this
airplane off the ground all right.
For this Charlie Whitehead is
the one who turned in more hours
OF brilliant flying on Pan Ameri-
cans run to South America than
probably any other pilot.
And this the Charlie Whitehead
who probably pulled more airplanes
out of spins over Brooklyn's Floyd
Bennett Field than any other in
Structor. That, of course, was when
Whitehead was running his flying
school at Bennett Field and had a
$l000-a-week contract with the On
LAOng Tong of New York's Mott
Street, under which he turned
young Chinese into shllful war
birds.
Today Charles a war bird him
self. He is the only American in
the Royal Air Force who is fly
ing the big bombers.
TAUGHT CHINESE
FLYERS IN NEW YORK
Originally employed by Lord
.Beaverbrook to ferry planes from
American factories to British air
fields, Whitehead transferred to the
r. A. F. because he wanted action.
The first day he reported at a
bomber station he was one sur
priSed American.
!. He had an idea that when he
showed up the adjutant would lean
back in his chair, point through
the window to waiting Whitley
and tersely say: Get going"
But it was months before he ever
did get going. He was put through
the complicated training by which
the r. A. F.. turns a good flyer into
a top-notch pilot.
= He had to do blind flying, blind
take-off and bombing practice until
he thought he would never get a
chance for real action.
He finally made the grade. Now
he has made dozens of what he
terms little nickel raids over French
coastal ports. like the raid this day
MOST INSTRUMENTS
'nON'T MEAN A THING
Moving on the side of his bomb
er, he makes one last adjustment
of his parachute. Then he tells YOU
to follow him while he checks the
instruments. Entering the plane
from the side. you crawl nearly its

John Fleek Guest
Speaker at BPW Club

John Sherwood Fleek, Cleve-
land, formerly Of Newark, was
the guest speaker before the
Business and Professional Wom-
ems club, when they entertained
at a dinner in "Hull Place" Tues
day at $50 p. m.
Mr.. Fleek told his audience
many interesting and enlighten-
ing things in his talk, which was
Function of Investment Bank
ing in the Traditional American
System of Free Enterprise En-
ergized by Individual Initiative"
Mr.. Fleek is president of the
Fleek & Son company, and is a
partner of the investment firm
of Hayden, Miller & Company;
and vice president of the Invest
ment Bankers Association of
America.
His talk was especially inter-
esting to women in business and
the professions, because they
realize more than many other
groups that the welfare of the
entire community is seriously
affected when the free flow of
individual savings to productive
industry and commerce is i'm
peded by the over-regulation of
an absentee federal bureaucracy,
unsympathetic with local prob
lens.

At the conclusion of this talk,
a motion picture with a commen-
tator gave the audience many
facts discussed by the speaker,
after which the speaker answer
ed questions asked by guests.
Miss Helen Earhart, president
of the local club introduced the
guests from the GAINESVILLE club.
Miss Winifred K. Vogt, presi-
dent of the GAINESVILLE club, and
sixth district director, announc-
ed that the district meeting will
be held at the Rogge Hotel, Sun
day, March 80. Reservations can
be made by members expecting
to attend, by calling Miss Ear
hart not later than Thursday,
March 27.
Miss Katherine Burch was
chairman of the hostess commit
tee, and was assisted by Misses
Louise Adkins, Alice MacMahon,
and Grace Dewey. Music was
furnished by Mrs. Sonoma Deck
Swisher, who sang three num-
bers: "Flower RAIN; "The Star"

Seems that Homer Orr and
County Commissin Frank
DUNN both attended the old
Tippett school located just this
side OF ]. 1nville. While caves
dropping at the Democratic
meeting last week we heard
them reminiscing about the
good old days" In that era
the youngster on the farm had
to get the "Three RS" on the
run, and Frank was telling of
getting started two months late
in the fall and having to quit
two months early in the spring,
as he was needed at home to
help with the farm work.
Youngsters worked in those days
and Frank recalled with
chuckle of having to stand the
horses up alongside a fence so
that he could climb high enough
to get the brides on.
Did you folks know that Geo.
Schaub who lives in West New
ark, was born in Africa. Won
dering how he managed to get
clear out here to Ohio we did
bit of investigating, and found
out he had been in Calcutta also.
If you look real closely on the
map of Ohio you light find a
couple of wide places in the
road where both locations are
listed so that explains the whole
business.
Congratulations to Harold
Nutter of the Ohio Power COM
pany upon his winning $100 on
his idea for the Mars candy pro-
gram Sunday night. Harold sent
in an idea to be used on the ra-
dio broadcast and suggested the
life Of Dale Carnegie, author of
"How to Win Friends and Influ-
ence People. He still has an
opportunity to win the grand
prize which would net him an
other century note. Harold has
been in the employ of the Ohio
Power company for Is years,
and his hobby is writing short
stories, several of which have
been published. He has also sub
mitted cartoon ideas which have
been accepted by several maga-
zines and periodicals. In way of
further information Mr.. Nutter
got the idea of sending the sug-
gestion, after reading a letter
received by Ray Murphy. Lick
ing county people who attended
the Flag Day program at the
Boy Scout camp last summer
will be interested in knowing
that Mr.. Nutter wrote the script
and received many compliments
on it. He has had a number of
requests for copies and it was
sent to National Boy Scout head
quarters.
