Old Ways Strapped

Revolutionary c I'm b ( tactics
have been responsible for downing
more than 80 Jap planes in
combat.
The days of dogfghts between
two planes are gone.
Colonel Chennault believes that
the modern high-Speed pursuit
planes must pick one enemy and
attack him in groups.
Obviously. his pilots claim. an
enemy gunner can hold off a single
plane. but cannot withstand stimuli
taneouS, co-ordlnated group action.
In addition. the AVG pilots have
learned from experience that the
japanese planes are poorly armorcd
about the cockpit.
Therefore they usually concen-
trate on plugging the pilot.

DIR. SAMPAIO IN
 ALASKA TO MAKE AVIATION STUDY

To make a study of civil avia- ton in Alaska, pr. Paulo Sam paio, representative of civil avia ton in Brazil, and Les Mariner arrived in Nome with Jack Jef- ford yesterday and will remain here for a few days before con- tinuing north.
 Dr. Sampaio was invited to the United States by the United Stat es Government through the State Department and the Civil Aero nautics Board for the purpose of making a complete study of civil aviation in this country.
 My visit to Alaska is primar- fly concerned in drawing a com parson between the methods ut ilized in Brazil for the develop ment of large parts of the coun try which are still being pioneer ed and those being used in AL aska. The problems and difficult ties encountered in Alaska are very similar to our problems in Brazil although there is no com parson regarding terrain and eli matic conditions" pr. Sampaio said.
 ''I arrived in the United States last October and stayed for four months with the Civil Aeronau- tics Board offices in Washington, D. C. and am now conducting an extensive tour in the field for the purpose of surveying all of the carrier operations, regional offices of GAIA, factories, flying schools and all activities related to aviation facilities" he said.
 Dr. Sampaio is a civil engin- eer and has been actively connect ed with aviation for the last 12 years. In addition to the admin istration of aviation, he is a pilot and has over 5000 hours to his credit.
 Though he has travelled exten sively in Europe, this is the first trip pr. Sampaio has ever made to North America. "Brazilians and people of the United States get along together excellently and have many bonds in com mon. One of the chief reasons they understand one another so well is that both have a sense of humor, "he said.
 Dr. Sampaio may continue on to Point Barrow before return ing to the States.

LOCAL MOTORISTS
 ENJOY LAST FLING

The final weekend before gaso- line rationing goes into effect found Waterbury motorists having "one last fling" and taking to the roads yesterday in greater numbers than on previous Sundays in the past sev- eral weeks.
