All Reserve Air Pilots
May Be Called for
Duty by June 80
Commercial Lines
And Plane Factories
To Receive Warnings
R1 the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rear Admiral John H. Towers told
a congressional committee today
that commercial lines and aircraft
factories are to be warned that the
Army and Navy may have to call
their pilots who are ReServists to
active duty by June 80.
Admiral Towers, chief of naval
aviation, asserted those companies
would be advised to start training
requirements to prevent disruption
of their service.
The admiral made that disclosure
during a prolonged discussion Of
naval pilot shortage and training
methods, but he did not amplify the
significance of the possibility that
the far-reaching step Of ordering
the air line pilots to active duty
might be necessary by June 80.
He said previously in his testi-
mony before the House Naval Af-
fairs Committee that, in consider
ing calling reserve pilots, the Navy
had tried as far as possible to eX-
empt those engaged in essential
services and conceded that if both
the Army and Navy Reserve flyers
all were called, it would virtually
ground the commercial air lines
and rob most of the aircraft fac
tories of their test pilots and best
engineers.
Later Admiral Towers told news
men a letter had been prepared
jointly by the Army and Navy on
the subject, but said he was not
sure whether it had been signed yet
by the Secretary of War.
