Day Is Coming When One
 Million Americans Will
 Be piIots, Expert Believes
By JACK sIINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 AL though much has been written about the training of Army and Navy pilots, few persons realize the enormity of the growth in civilian flying.
 The other day, I heard req sonably conservative aviation as- sociation official estimate that within the next few years one out of every 100 persons certainly possibly one out of every 50--in the United States would hold q pilots license of some kind,
 That would mean a considerable acceleration in the rate at which the country now is turning out civilian pilots about 100000 year). but when everything is con- sidered, it is not an impossibility. For instance:
 1.-Under the inspiration and guidance of the National Aeronau- tic Association, the number of model airplane builders in the U. s. has crept up to 100000. These youngsters learn the elements of aerodynamics and plane construc- ticn. Although youthful hobbies can't always be taken as an indi- cation that youngster will choose profession in that direction, avi- ation is different in that the re- wards which it holds out as pro- iession are likely to appeal to the young man or woman as much as model building did to the juvenile.
 2-The Civilian Pilot Training Program has come of age. Thou sands of youngsters every month are rolling out of the cockpits in hundreds of college and contract oCliOOiS LO Cdlli WlilSo iOl tiiCi solos and start the long trek through the airways toward be- coming aces of private, commercial or wartime aviation. The Army and Navy has recognized the value of this program and now is giving credit for flying time when gradu- ates enroll in the armed services.
 As an example of what this pro- gram is accomplishing want to pass on report from little Doane College at Crete, Neb., which I saw the other day. Out of 40 grad uates of the elementary CPTP course there in the last year and half, six are in the Army avia- tion corps; another six in the Navy; three more are awaiting call; two are ticking advanced training to become flight instruc- tors six others have completed secondary flight training in the CPTP course. Out of 20 CPTP stu dents there now, 12 have applied for the advanced course which opens in January. Multiply Doane

time comes, yet when pasture time
comes in Washington a price in
crease is considered?"
Mr.. Schultz also pointed out that
the new rate schedule proposed by
the Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association would increase
the price of milk for relief purposes.
The theory of the use of this
product is that it constitutes sur
plus in the hands of the producer,
he declared, land therefore if the
product could be advantageously
used for undernourished children
and relief, that certainly the milk
producer would be willing to take
slightly lower price than he could
otherwise get for said milk, and
permit the same to go into the most
needed channel. However. we find
the Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association demanding its
pound of flesh even for its surplus
products. Not only do they demand
a much higher price for this sur
plus milk than most milk producers
in the country for their class l milk,
but in addition to this, they submit
and recommend regulations and
rules to the dairy division of the
Department of Agriculture that have
for their direct purpose the con-
tinuation of the monopoly exercised
by them"
Il have repeatedly pledged the
people of Washington" Mr.. Schultz
added, that as a member of the
Committee of the District of Colum-
bia that I will make it my business
to do everything possible to break
down the vicious milk monopoly here
and see to it that they get milk at
a reasonable price comparable to
that paid in other cities"

Schultz Sends Protest
To Henderson on
Milk Price Rise
Plans to Introduce Bill
Opening D. c. Market
To All Producers

Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana, made two moves today
to prevent a threatened increase in
the price of milk in Washington.
First, he wrote letter to Leon
Henderson, Federal price admins
traitor, calling attention to proposal
filed with the Dairy Division of the
Agriculture Department by the
Maryland-Virg Milk Producers
Association, the approval OF which
he said, would result in 'substan-
tial" increase in the price of milk
produced for the Washington area,
and add $1000,000 year to the milk
bill of consumers.
Second, he planned to introduce a
bill that would open the local milk
market to producers anywhere in the
United States and fix by law the re-
tail price of milk.
Representative Schultz was
member of a special subcommittee OF
the House District Committee which
two years ago Investigated the milk
situation here. At that time he
charged the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Milk
Producers Association controlled the
local milk supply and introduced a
bill that would have permitted milk
producers outside the present local
milk shed to ship milk here for fluid
consumption.
Milk Monopoly Charged.
About 80 per cent of Washington's
milk supply is furnished by mem
bers of the Maryland-Virginia Milk
Producers Association.
In the letter to Mr.. Henderson,
Mr.. Schultz said:
I'm view of my serving on the Dis
trict of Columbia House Committee,
and having served on a special sub
committee some two years ago
which went into the milk situation
here in a very painstaking manner,
I have become deeply interested In
the subject.
IT am taking the liberty of inclos-
ing to you the majority report of
the committee above referred to
which found, among other things,
that a milk monopoly exists in this
market, and the relation of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association and the milk
trusts came in for sound and def
mite condemnation. This relation
still exists and should be subjected
to the severest examination before
any extra price burden is placed
upon the backs of our 176,000 Gov
ernment workers in Washington
who will have to pay the increased
price even though they will not
enjoy any increase in salary from
their employer
Mr.. Schultz estimated an increase
of 4 cents a gallon in the price of
milk, as proposed by the association
would cost milk consumers here an
additional $1,000 600 a year.
Chicago Price Decline Cited.
Three questions were asked of Mr..
Henderson. The principal one was:
Why does the price in Chicago
have to come down when pasture

Philippines Reaffirm
Loyalty 10 America

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, June 20.-Millions Of
Filipinos, led by their President,
Manuel Quezon, yesterday reaf-
firmed their loyalty to the United
States in event of war and pledged
their all, even their lives, to the de-
fense of democracy.
Loyalty Day-a new holiday for
the islands-was the occasion for
the island-wide expression of ale
glance. In cities and villages the
populace paraded and pledged fidel-
ity anew.
High lights of the observance was
the address of the commonwealth
President. Stricken for months by
illness, President Quezon was un-
able to deliver it personally, so 1t
was transcribed and broadcast from
Manila.
In effect, President Quezon as
sured the United States 1t would
face no internal trouble in the
islands if involved in war, approved
the recent fireside address of Pres
ident Roosevelt and urged support
of the commemorative defense ac-
tivities in the words Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's declaration of state OF un-
limited national emergency.

Thomas of Oklahoma
Hits Humor Based
On w. p. A. ShoveIs
By the Associated Press.

The butt of countless jokes
the w. P. A. worker who leans
on his shovel-was defended in
the Senate yesterday by Sen
ator Thomas, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma.
Protesting this type of humor
the Oklahoman suggested that
some of his elderly colleagues
near 10 with some ailment that
does not show on the surface"
try going out on a w. P. A.
job with a long-handled
shovel"
Il can understand why some
of those men have to spend part
of the time leaning on a shovel
or some other instrument for
support" he said.
