ladies.
The speaker mas lived in Burma
for 20 years, being connected with
a missionary school in Moulmein
and he speaks with authority on
conditions in that country.
In his preliminary remarks he
emphasized the importance of Ran
COON as the port Of entry for the
Burma road where supplies were
received, trucks and equipment as
sembled for its trip over the noun
.,ains TO China.
Bombing Described
The Rev. Mr.. Hare went on to
describe the almost incessant bomb
ing of Rangoon from Dec. 7, to
its fall, giving most realistic
account of the damage done to
the CITY, the suffering and panic
OF the people and also of the
treachery of the Burmese whose
hatred of the British led them to
aid the japanese in every way pos
Siblc.
Detailed accounts of the ways in
which the Burmese helped the Japs
| lnflltrate into the British lines un-
til it was impossible for the British
to combat them successfully enabled
the Rev. Mr.. Hare's listeners to
understand better the fall of Ran
| gcon and its causes.
The speaker escaped just before
Rangoon was closed, no one being
! allowed to enter or leave the city
and went by automobile as far as
he could, after which he Travelled
on for six days and nights, being
picked up eventually by Indiar
troops. He reached Calcutta where
his wife and children had beer

vouchSafed to his senior the in

which he felt he was particularly
lifted both called for ranks superior
to the one he enjoyed at the
moment. For one of the jcos the
rank OF lieutenant commander was
necessary and for the other full
commandership was required.
1t was at this point that the
scenario began to deviate seriously
from the best Hollywood traditions.

But here the admiral showed .
complete lack of histrionic under

grumpy and dismissed the junior
officer with a curt: Thank you,

the back.

To make up this huge air force.
the Army will draw chiefly from
volunteers and selectees, although
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-

who went through the C. A. A.
schools are pledged to make them
selves available to the Army and

A recent $12 500, ,000, 900 appropria-
tion for the Army air forces. which
the President has signed, gives an
immediate start towards the pro-
curement of $4,000 combat planes
and 10000 training planes,
The great expansion of the air
force has upset all earlier calcula-
tions for the formation of separate
combat groups.
Rapid Expansion Cited.
The combat group first began with
goal of "a units. BY last fall the
objective was 54 groups. Later it
was increased to "a groups, and 1t.
Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the
air forces, recently told a House
Appropriations Subcommittee the
program already has been expanded
beyond that goal. The production,
pilot training, ground forces and
airports are all being co-ordinated
so that they will synchronize under
the new program.
The greatest difficulty confront
ing the air force is the training
program. The earlier announced
program for 10000 Army pilots a
year will not be reached next spring
or by June, despite the fact that the
training period has been reduced
Evening star., 1942-02-08

from . year to seven and . half
months. .t....
The training program also calls
for 100000 technicians year by
June 30 and the schooling of bonn
bardiers and navigators to reach a
rate Of 10000 year.
All these plans must be revised
and training intensified to an un-
precedented rate. BY June it is
expected to have 80, training schools
in operation. Details Of further ex-
pansion required for the training
schools were not disclosed.
At West Point 1t. Col. ]. M.
Weikert has been designated acad-
emy air of1cer. Under his super
vision the plans for cadet participa-
ton in the training program will
be carried out. The course will be
elective.
The first group to start training
will be members Of the class to be
graduated this year. Cadets who
elect the course will complete the
elementary flying instruction before
June 10. On July S, after gradua-
ton, they will begin basic training
and by November 10 will receive
their wings.
Reserves to Be Mobilized.
Heretofore West Point graduates
spent year training for the Air
Corps after their graduation. Men,
bers Of the other classes will join
the flying training classes at civil
fields nearest their homes and will
complete their elementary training
on August S. The remainder of
their pilot training will be COM
pleted before they graduate.
Details of plans for early mobili-

were announced by Secretary Slim

dents order yesterday.
