Private Flying
Schools Lack
Embryo Pilots

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 10-R
- Private flying school opera
tors who have been turning out
10000 embryo war pilots
year are standing by for a crash
aiding.
Their whole training program
will smash, they say, unless the
Army and Navy takes prompt
action to furnish selectees in
place of the now banne,. stream
of volunteer students.
Lieut.. John r. Hoyt Of the
Navy, assigned to the bureau of
aeronautics, told the national
aviation training association con-
vention yesterday that he didn't
know what would happen, now
that enlistments are out.
Hope revived slightly with the
arrival of John p. Morris, di-
rector of the civilian pilot train
ing service, Washington, who
said Il hope the government will
be able to do something within
ten days or two weeks, to allie
viate the situation"
William A. Ong, president OF
the association, said the opera
tors last classes will start by
January IS, unless additional
students are forthcoming from
somewhere. In the past, he ex-
planned, students were volun-
teers who entered the air force
reserves.
Another worry, said Ong, is
the fact several of hi 20 instruc-
tors serving his three Missouri
and Kansas fields have been
classified Ia in the draft.
William A. Burden, special
assistant to the u. S. Secretary
of Commerce, told the conven-
ton "this problem has been def
initely solved"
! The Army and Navy have
agreed to permit them to con-
tinue their civilian work six
months to a year, he explained.
He also treasured the SOC wor-
ried operators On two other
points; The operators, he be-
lieved, can confidently expect
legitimate requests for new
equipment will be granted" and

ress" in obtaining priority rat
