SCHOOL IS OUT
 BULLETIN ISSUED
Child Fatalities lncreas' ing; 10 Killed in State
 Up to Yesterday

Although . child Is more apt to survive being struck by an automo- bile than is an adult, serious in- juries among children run high, a Motor Vehicles Department school Is out" bulletin pointed out today.
 The bulletin urged drivers to as- sume the responsibility for children playing in or near teh streets and to drive with extreme care now that the summer vacation Is at hand. During June last year, IA children were struck by automobiles In Con- necticut, more than In any other month during that year
 It was emphasized In the bulletin that while the number of children killed by automobiles is small when compared to the number of adults killed there is not such e great dif- ference In the number struck. "The number of children crippled and maimed by automobiles Is 0 picture the fatality figures do not show"
 while i7 children died as Q re- suit of being struck by automobiles in Connecticut last year, l,oo3 chil- dren were injured, many of them seriously. The adult pedestrian most frequently struck Is over 30 years of age, and he Is more apt to die be- cause he IS beyond middle age,
 "But the child, because his resil- iency is greater, may live through long and intense suffering, and may recover, although he may be crip- pied or suffer effects for long, long time."
 The bulletin went on to explain that of the l,585 adults struck by automobiles last year, l69, or about 10 per cent died, while only about two per cent of the children struck died.
 Child fatalities are increasing this year. Up to Monday (June l6) ten children had been killed by automo- piles in Connecticut as compared to seven killed during the same period last year.

For officers exclusively, there is also @ tactics department-theory and map problems.
 Every man in . tank must be familiar with Its various guns, but those designated 'gunners" are the most thoroughly trained specialists. To select students worthy of this training. Col. Henry bought four of those electric-eye rifles such as you see in nickel arcades. He then set up miniature shooting gallery for an indoor practice range, with tiny tanks bobbing and weaving as the targets.
 Almost all the schools first stu. dents were enlisted men, AS they graduate, most of them are being made instructors. And soon nearly all the students will be drawn from draftees taken from the big replace ment center which Is also part of the military establishment here.

 When Col. Henry arrived here he had no buildings, no mechanical or military equipment, no estimate ot the number of men that should be trained, no office, not even a pad or pencil. Even today you can walk Into many on unpaited oface and come face to face with Q major oi colonel sitting behind 0 makeshift unpainted desk, using boxes for fll- Ing cabinets.
 F'uor months after Col. Henry received his orders, the first clas' of 200 officers and 2,000 enlisted men moved into the Tank School were assigned to the eight depart- ments of the school, began going to lectures and working in completely equipped shops. Early next month the school will be working at capac- ity, with 2e0 officers and 4,946 en- listed men as students.

Special. ists, like radio operators; get spe- cial tests, such as phonograph rec- ords which measure ability to recog- nige sound patterns.
 The unique thing about this army school Is that there is no set timt required for training. Three months Is standard, but men are sent ahead as fast as they learn-and the faster the better the army likes 1t.
 The school Is divided into seVcra i large shops. Tn some, students dis, sect dead engines, Tn others, the! diagnose the ills of live ones. Be- fore he graduates, the student wil have taken a tank apart, put 1t to- gether and solved scores of problems involving spbtting and correctint mechanical troubles.
 Since the Armored Force uses { lot more trucks and motorcycle (for supply and communication than tanks, there are complete de' partments here for these vehicles.

KNOX SPEEDS TRAINING OF ARMORED FORCE OF z5OOO MEM

BY NEA Service
 Fort Knox, Ky, June iS-It would give a big kick to the men who best know the needs of Amerlca's new army to stand outside some of the long wooden buildings here and hear the steady pulsating roar of motors from within.
 They would be hearing the regu. lar throbbing of the new army's heart--the Tank School of the Armored Force--grownig louder and stronger as 1t pumped a life-blood of technical specialists through the army's veins.
 Modern warfare has brought the army face to face with no more pressing problem than the training of men capable of driving, repairing and fighting the new weapons of war covered in that overall phrase, "the Armored Force"
 CORPS HAS MANY SPECIALISTS
 Tankers require more specialists than any other branch of the serv. ice. The contemplated strength of the Armored Force is around 75,000 of these men. Turning them out at the highest speed possible is the all- important task of the Tank School here. Yet e year ago there was no such organization In existence.
 It was only last July that Maj, Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, boss tanker of the U. s. Army, ordered Col, s. c. Henry to Ego to Fort Knox and establish Q school to train all the

Undersea Heroes
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 A peculiar brand of heroism is demanded of the men who go under the sea in their nations service. The sunshine, the sea air, the drama and panoply which surround the men of the surface craft is not for them Not for them are the spectacular dangers of the armen compensated for in measure by the thrills and exhaltation of flight Not for them are the more ordinary dangers of the men in the Army.
 When an officer or member signs for service on a submarine, he signs for discomfort; cramped quarters stuffness, the reek of oil and the batteries. He signs knowing that in wartime his as signment will be one of desperate danger. There is
 scheme of protection for most naval units but not for the submarine-its job is to scout in the most dangerous circumstances to strike and to take its own chances of escape. It cannot outrun its pur- suers it must try to outwit them. And the crew must endure the dread suspense of knowing that when an enemy locates their craft submerged one or two hundred feet below the surface, they are desperately near death and not pretty one
 Even in peacetime there dangers peculiar to the submarine as we have been shown twice now in two years time off the Portsmouth, N. H. naval base A slight mechanical human failure can doom part or all of the crew to awful entomb- ment
 Until salvage operations are completed it is idle to speculate upon the causes of the disaster which befell the submarine O-9 The nation must rely upon the Navy to determine all of the facts in the case and to extract all possible future benefit from them But meanwhile, it is not out of place for the nation to salute the officers and crew of the O-9 as true heroes of the Navy-men who in their nations braved the ugly death which overlook them on the floor of the North Atlantic.

AIRPLANE FINDER

A few weeks ago. the British Government cabled Washington saying: We need transport planes to carry the high command from one battle area to another. Not necessarily new planes Anything that will fly. Minimum capacity 14 passengers"
 The message came to Jesse Jones, who relayed it to a small man with a big capacity for ac- tion - Arthur D. Whiteside. This was on a Saturday. By Monday morning, Whiteside had rounded up all the Lockheed 18's in the coun- try, plus one DC3-a total of 20 planes. And still more planes will follow.
 Whiteside is chairman of the Civil Aviation Priorities Committee of the OPM. He is one of New York's Four Hundred who have come to Washington for Defense and all 400 of them are in the So- cial Security Building.
 Whiteside is president of Dun
