FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 15.--How do you prefer Billy the Kid? Good ~or bad?
 You can have your choice, be- cause one of each variety has been galloping and shooting before mo- ton picture cameras a few miles from one another in northern Ari zona
 It was a wonder the two Billys- MGM's Robert Taylor and Howard Hughes Jack Beutel - didn't ride into each other. If they had, one wouldn't have recognized the other
 The real Billy the Kid, credited with killing 20 men by the time he reached voting age, was shot to death in Lincoln County New Mex ico, some 60 years ago by frontier Sheriff Pat Garrett, but his spirit has been riding through fiction pages and across movie screens ever since
 Robert Taylor portrays the Kid as a fine fellow who fell into bad company.
 Howard Hughes The Outlaw filmed in the northern Arizona Hopi country and at Tucson, shows Billy as cold -blooded killer There was no effort to clean him up,' the studio said

A Kingdom For a Plane;
 Latest Kind
New Type Is Needed by Great Britain-Purposes
 Given Explanation
By BILL WHITE AP Feature Service

LONDON, Jan 15.-War-w weary Britons satisfied that the RAF has almost completely nullified the threat of daytime air raids, are de- manding now an answer to the four-month-o old horror of night raids.
 And there seems to be TO immediate hope in sight.
 Some IA weeks ago, Sir Archi- bald Sinclair, Minister for Air, declared T am able to look for ward to a time when the pleas ure of night bombing over Britain will cease to be attractive to Reich Marshal Goering and his aerial minions"
 Good News
 These words were hailed by everyone who had huddled in a shelter or had his sleep broken by the terrorizing whuump of bombs and the answering chatter of anti aircraft guns.
 But the two-part job of To-
 eating the night p,owling
 enemy and downing him is not
 simple as it first appeared.
 Anti-aircraft guns, even by day, are none too accurate. The World War average of 10000 shells per hit' still appears to hold good. By night the guns are less accurate. They can keep the enemy high and spoil his aim. but they aren't likely to turn back determined raid The barrage balloons and the searchlights are helpful-but sim ply keeping Jerry high isn't enough-for obvious mathematical reasons. Sound travels about HOO feet a second that by the time q plane speeding 200 miles an hour at 25,000 feet is heard on the ground, the machine is more than a mile from the point at which the sound originated
 So far the British ack-acl1
 gunners have been credited
 with bringing down more than
 300 enemy aircraft by day and
 mere than 100 by night. But
 that is not enough.
 Competent observers are certain that the night fighter plane is the solution-but present planes for that purpose are falling far short of the results sought.
 The night pilot. too has his problems He is deaf to all other sound and sometimes tem- porarily blinded by the reflection of searchlights on his propeller. His enemy may be thousands of feet above or below him, miles to the front or on either side.
 New Plane Needed
 So the remedy must come in d new type plane.
 The air correspondent of the London Evening News says it must have CD a perfect all-around view, CD a means of definitely locating the enemy, (3) the ability to cruise all night if necessary and (4 carry a crew of at least two men.
 Until such a plane is perfected, England must rely on RAF attacks on enemy factories and airdromes to diminish. the scale of Axis op- erations.

ging a game and half lead in
the National League dog fight,
the doughty Dodgers today play
a return engagement in cincin-
natl, where they scored to a 7-5
victory yesterday.
Slipping half-game in the
standings because Of the Car
dinais' double verdict over the
New York Giants. the Dodgers
still managed to turn in a con-
vincing preyiew Of how cham
pions should act.
Tied up in their half of the
ninth, the Dodgers went out on
top when Billy Herman slammed
a home run high into the outfield
stands, then scored again on two
doubles and a single.
Joe Medwick, who hit a dou-
BILE and three singles in FIVE
times at bat, opened the scoring
for the Dodgers in the SECOND
inning, sending in PeeWee
Reese.
Reds In Comeback
The Reds moved into action in
the fifth, scoring two as Mike
Mccormick tripled, Harry Craft
nailed a single and Bill Werber
followed with another single.
Five straight singles aided the
Dodgers in collecting three runs
I in the sixth, and the Reds
bounced back with three in the
seventh when Frank Mccormick
lofted one out of the park with
two mates aboard.
Medwick tied things up again
in the eighth, making second on
a hard-hit ball to the outfield
and scoring on Lavageto's pinch
liner.
The Cards, winning their two
by scores of 10 and 6-5, ran into
some fancy pitching on the part
of Carl Hubbell, but Lon War
neke'S shit tossing served to
protect the one-run lead they
picked up in the second inning
of the first game.
Warneke was credited with his
seventeenth victory against eight
losses, while Hubbell was charg-
ed with his ninth loss to 10 vic
tories.
