places to which he would retreat are

The attacks on merchantmen are most
likely to occur we'll away from land,
so the danger from dive-bombers is
lessened A fair complement of anti
aircraft guns can restrict plane at
tackers to high altitude bombing. Aim
then is poor. A recent west-bound
traveller reports that Is planes assailed
his ship and not one hit was registered.
But the plane, as scout, may summon
to the hunt that most sinister of the
cargo ships enemies, the submarine.
How does the armed merchantmen
stack up against the submarine?
The merchantmen may carry guns
fore and aft, of about 5-inch caliber.
Both these and machine guns may be
mounted to fire at water targets as we'll
as into the air. Some vessels may even
carry depth charges. The mounted guns
would have, as against low-floating YES
sci, superior play of fire. And the ship.
when heavily ballasted, offers fairly
stable platform from which to shoot
The U-boat carries but a single Al
gun and few machine guns. The chief
arrows in its quiver are the torpedoes,
expensive but devastating.
The submarine ordinarily must re-
main submerged to escape detection.
The commanders problem is to bring his
periscope close enough to his target to
secure an accurate bearing on the target.
Sighting over choppy waves from low
field of vision is not comparable to the
accuracy of aim which is possible II the
victim is unarmed and the submarine
can approach close to it unhindered.

Five hundred and sixty miles an hour!
The only trouble about going that fast
is that you never know it until afterward.
You may think the whine of the motors
is little higher in pitch than ever
before, or that the plane is straining as
she never has at any other time. But
until it is all over with, and you have
time to manipulate your slide rule on
the way back to the field, you can never
be sure.
So it was, at least, with Ellis D.
Shannon, hereinafter referred to as Sam,
in order that everybody around the
Glenn L. Martin Co. plant, where he is
one OF the crack test pilots, will know OF
whom we are speaking.
Sam Shannon has flown faster than
any other man in bombing plane, at
least so far as can be accurately de-
termined establishing record of $50
miles an hour in a test dive last month
with a stock Martin 1877 he was giving
its final tryout before turning it over to
the British The British have designated
the type as the Baltimore"
Higher speeds have been recorded by
pursuit planes, which are built with an
eye to speed and include power dives
among their most routine maneuvers.
But the Baltimore is a two-motor plane
designed for level bombing and weighing
about II tons, from two to three times
as much as the current pursuit type.
1t is a lot of airplane to be going that
fast, Royal Air Force and Army pilots
agree.
How 1t feels to 20 $50 miles an hour is
something Sam Shannon gave no par
ticular thought to at the time.
We'll, Ill tell you," he explained later,
You just have so many things on the
instrument panel to watch that you don't
have time to notice how you feel your
SELF
You Just let her out until your air
speed meter reads what the test calls for,
keep her there as long as the contract
specifications require, then ease up and
come home"
On this particular day. there were two
observers in the plane beside Sam to
take notes and record readings of the
various gauges and gadgets. He took
off at the Martin airport and started
climbing to get altitude for the dive.
High attitudes sometimes make Sam
sneeze and the latter part of the journey
upward was spent taking of his oxygen
mask, giving vent to a sharp, incisive
"kerchoo," and clapping it back over his
nose again.
There was the matter of blowing out
his ears, too, air vernacular for equaliz-
ing the air pressure on the ear drum by
fiexing certain small muscles behind and
below the ears. or sometimes simply by
swallowing. 1t was little chilly up
topside, about o. Farenheit at $4,000 feet.
He had not donned any especially heavy
clothing because he did not expect to
be up there long. Taking only minute
to get his bearings. he eased the control
column forward and started down.

If the board doesn't think the youth is
officer material or that his record doesn't
entitle him to another chance-then he's
washed out or perhaps transferred to
arother branch of the aviation service.

two weeks-and about 88 Of each group
pass the finish line. For one reason Or
another, the others fall out.
Let's follow the youth from Georgia
from the time he left the University of
Georgia to become g. Navy flyer. Well
call him Jimmy. Like all the others he's
unmarried, had at least two years OF
college and has been a citizen Of the
United States at least 10 years. The
cadets are between 20 and q years old.
Jimmy sailed through elimination
training at a naval reserve aviation base
and came here with 80 others to begin
his cadet aviation training course lasting
about seven months.
The first six weeks weren't very excit-
ing for fellow who wants to fy-but
they were important. There's good deal
more to being q military pilot than
just flying.
Jimmy went through brief period of
indoctrination and then entered the
ground school to study communications,
navigation, gunnery, power plant, and
plane structures. He also learned to drill
with rifle.
Then he moved into stage A Of his
training, flying half day with an in
structor and going to ground school the
other half.
Every morning he and his barracks
mates were out of bed at $50 am. to
clean up quarters. take exercises and
breakfast before reporting at the hangar
at am.
At the end of another week the check
pilot passed Jimmy into stage B. course
of instruction designed to develop self
confidence, judgment and fundamentals
of fight. Day after day. Jimmy spent
hours practicing take-of1s and landings
in small fields near the main station
some of the landings being the result
of simulated emergencies. Mastering
sleeper banked turns he was ready for
stage C or advanced solo work.
This was lot more fun. Jimmy got a
bang out of aerobatics. He wasn't al
ways stunting, although lots of people
on the ground may have thought he
was. He was learning the important
tricks Of handling plane smoothly
while cutting capers such as aviators
use in dog fights with an enemy. He was
learning also to Judge distances and to
bring his ship down on small fields about
the size OF an airplane carriers flight
deck.
He did all right, too, but each time the
check pilot climbed in to give him test,
Jimmy felt the checkitis creeping up on
him. Just about the only cure for Jimmy
was to sing-which was all right with the
check pilot. He'd had the same trouble
once himself.
After passing general review of all
he had learned, Jimmy was advanced to
the transition stage which is designed to
equip flyers for handling the Navy S

The G-men, who had been ignoring the
calendar for years, threw away their
clocks when President Roosevelt declared
Q national emergency.
When John Edgar Hoover became di-
rector of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION in 1924. he observed that if Grim
inals worked on Sundays and holidays.
the men who hunted them would have to
do likewise
National defense made the G-man's
working schedule "a hours day as we'll
as seven days week. and "a hours day
meant just that all too often. For the
special agents associates in the bureau,
such as clerks, stenogrsphers and mes
sengers, the working day was extended
by two hours.
F. B. I. officials say that nobody really
minded. because the bosS-who always
had worked the longest hours OF any one
IN the bureau-waS still out in front.
But when the first complaint was heard,
x came from the boSS-he said his staff
was working too hard And because they
worked too hard too long, they were
likely to injure their health. So the
standard overtime for employees below
the rank of agents was cut to one hour
a day. Later. the agents themselves
were limited to an average of three hours
overtime daily.

IF We want clerk, we hire messenger

The widow Of every special agent who
died while in the service has been Of
fered a position in the bureau, and most
of them are working there.
Quite a number of former agents,
some who moved to better-payng posi-
tions and some retired, have sons in the
bureau. One former agent became so
excited when he heard that his son had
graduated into the ranks that he tele-
phoned nearly 1000 miles to tell officials
OF his joy.
Not only are there scores of brothers
in the F.. B. l., but numerous instances
of brothers and sisters-the latter as
clerical help of course because Hoover
has not been convinced there should be
G-Women.
No Deferment Sought
Every F. B. l. employe is proud of the
organizations within the bureau. The
F.. B. I. is consistently near the top in
Government athletic leagues and always
among the first in charitable work, pa
triotic endeavors And they never are too
tired for the employe social events, which
probably are the best attended Of any
Government organization parties.
In normal times special agents know
that Hoover will be their strongest sup
porter if they find chance to better
themselves in jobs outside of the bureau.
Just now designations are not welcomed,
although there is no objection when an
agent is confronted with personal situa-
tionS, to his going into other fields. The
F.. B. l. has sought to avoid being used
as refuge from military service. and
applications are studied with view to
avoiding consideration OF young men who
are likely to be called for selective service.
The F.. B. I. does not ask deferment from
military service for its employees unless
there are unusual circumstances which
make continued wrok in the bureau i'm
portant.
officials acknowledge that there was
no limit to overtime work in the early
months of the emergency. But expert
ence has shown that best work could be
done only within certain limits. Thus
the order permitting agents TO work no
more than an average OF three extra
hours day. To keep this in line, each
of the SIS offices is watched so that the
work is fairly divided. If the men in one
bureau consistently work long hours and
those in another do not, there is certain
to be shift in personnel to take some
of the load off of the one Office.
Agents are asked to keep themselves
in good physical condition. To help Go

Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman Of
the United States Maritime Commission,
says:
Even the fastest submarine finds its
speed reduced, when under water, to
rate as slow as or slower than that of
most merchant ships The speed of the
new merchant vessels standard types)
built by the Maritime Commission in its
regular, long-range program is probably
double that of the fastest submarine
under water.
TT is obvious, therefore, that fire power
on a merchant vessel sufficient to compel
submarine to submerge at a con-
siderable distance, or risk an engage
ment, affords genuine protection"
Submarines have risked surface en-
counter rather than see their quarry
escape. Unless they emerge unexpectedly
close to the ship land thus risk being
rammed), their hope lies in putting
hole in the vessels unprotected hull.
Attacks are more likely to occur at
dawn or twilight: less likely at night
unless lights carelessly revealed on the
merchantmen betray its position or
unless 'sound-ranging' by the submarine
Through listening devices) has been
exquisitely ref1ned-which is not proved.
Yet in the face of the submarine
menace, merchant crews carry on their
work. In encounter with hostile craft
their concern is not that they sink the
foe, but that they escape disaster.
And British statistics from the World
War indicate that the armed merchant
man has q better chance Of escape than
the unarmed vessel.

BY Logan Reavis.

The armed merchant ship, venturing
daneer-laden waters with its cargoes,
is like the old stagecosch of frontier
days.
Passing through hostile country, the
stagecoach required a guard. The driver
was alert for ambush, and tensed to
whip his horses to top-speed flight when
attack came.
With his new guard of 5-inch guns
and anti-aircraft, the skipper OF
modern merchantman-lik the stage
coach driver-must guard against am
hush. He also has the chance of flight.
In groups, with a strong escort, these
cargo ships chances of reaching port
are good.
But the lone merchantmen which en-
counters a cruiser or battlesmp at sea
NAV be written off as captured, or sunk,
If It is rash enough to resist. BY good
fortune. it might escape in the dark.
If such formidable enemy is known
70 be at large. however the merchant
man ordinarily will not venture far
from a heavily armed ship of friendly
eolors.
Encourtering another armed mer-
chantman-of hostile colors-our ship
has better than $3.50 chance. Guns
would be about equal in power; both
hulls unsrmored. But the raider IL
he is materially injured, faces the seri-
Gus problem of finding friendly port
to which he can limp for repairs. MOST
