BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Nov. T. Success of the Royal Canadian Air Forces pilot training program "far exceeds our fondest dreams" Air Marshal William A. Bishop said in an interview here.
 Bishop, here to see a movie in which he appears and to confer with R. c. A. F. representatives declared that the empires training plan definitely will be the decid- ing factor in the war"
 More than 100 airdromes are in use under the program, Bishop said training not only Canadians, but Australians and New zealanders Aud fully 10 per cent of those en- listed, he declared, come from the United States.
 Many of these pay their own way-all their expenses. A few are in the American Eagle Squad rcn, others are absorbed into other phases of the R. A. F. Some have been unable to enter the U. s. Army Air Corps, but want adventure and flying.
