Of Cargo Planes Flying VitoI MoterieI

within a week how much Of the
operations they will be able to
handle. When the service becomes
50 large that the private airlines
are no longer able to furnish per-
sonnel. Army flyers will be assigned
to cargo planes.
1--WE asked the airlines to do the
job because Of the experience they
have in getting these things ac-
complished," Gen. George ex-
planned. 1--WE felt it would be better
if We used our Army flyers to op-
crate bombers over Germany"
The operation of the new cargo
service for the Army will in no
way curtail the activities of the air
lines in this country, Gen. George
said.
Operation Of the new service will
enable our armies in Australia OF
Europe to get small replacement
parts-the lack OF which might i'm.
mobilize q number Of fighting
planes, tanks or guns.
Later, when vast numbers o,
cargo planes are operating, 1t vii
be possible to send considerable
quantities Of supplies to embattlet
armies on q few hours notice.
Each airline will take over /,
different set of routes to foreign
fields. The lines which are partici.
pating are American. .Braniff, East.

Churchill Refuses
To Commit Self on
Calling Election
Would Be Necessary
To Advise King to
Dissolve Parliament

B. tht Associated Prees.
LONDON. July 21.-Prime Minis
ter Churchill refused In the House
Of Commons today to commit him
self on the question OF calling a
general parliamentary election be-
fore the end of 1942. The last gen.
eral election was in 1885.
(The life Of Parliament gen
orally is Ave years or less. but
during wartime its life Is ex-
tended. The Parliament which
sat during World War I first met
on January 81, 1911, and was dis
solved on November IS, 1918, hav-
ing existed for seven years, nine
months and Is days.
In answer to a request by Rupert
de la Bere, Conservative, for a state
ment regarding the governments
intentions concerning holding an
election, Mr.. Churchill replied:
"It would be most unusual, in my
view, and contrary to the best prece-
dent, for any statement to be made
forecasting the advice which, In hy-
pothetical circumstances, should be
rendered to the King in respect OF =
dissolution"
In order to obtain a general elec-
ton it would be necessary for the
Prime Minister to advise the King
to dissolve Parliament
Some sections of Parliament, the
press and the public have been de-
manding dissolution of the present
House, which was mainly elected In
1895, and calling of new election
in an effort to determine what critics
term the true sentiments Of the
people.
Objections have been raised, how
ever, that an election would upset
the country and require a new reg
istration OF voters because OF war

The dream of Army airmen-
an air cargo transport service to
supply our armies in all parts OF
the world-began to take shape
today.
The Air Transport Command
announced this morning that it
was calling on private airlines in
the United States to undertake
operation of a worldwide net
work OF air cargo lines.
Were going to have no forces
anywhere that can't be supplied by
air." declared Brig. Gen. Harold L.
George, commanding the Air Trans
port Command.
Envisaged eventually was a great
feet OF cargo planes. some perhaps
trailing gliders. which will keep
our armies in the most remote parts
Of the earth within few hours
of their supply bases.
This is the beginning OF . stu
pendous undertaking." said Gen.
George.
The operations for many months
to come will be on small scale,
he indicated. There Is no possibility
that the Air Transport Command
will be able to carry materiel on a
scale comparable to that of the
merchant marine any time soon.
: But If the war lasts long enough,
1t Is quite possible that the expanded
transport service may carry a ma
jor part of supplies to our men
abroad.
At the present time, the Army is
operating its ferrying command,
which is moving new planes and a
limited amount of supplies to the
front. The private airlines of this
country already are carrying cargo
over ocean routes on small scale
The plan announced today calls
on the private airlines to furnish
the air, ground and administrative
personnel for what will become the
worlds greatest air freight service.
The transport command will super

Representatives OF the major air.
lines were called to the transport
command headquarters yesterday
Gen. George outlined to them the
plans for the freight service. He
let them know the number of cargo
planes to be manufactured by next
December. Then he asked them
whether they will be able to operate
that number OF planes over the air
routes.
The airlines accepted the job and
promised to let Gen. George know

The time may come when hum

and the hundreds may expand to
thousands. They are truly nom
combatant soldiers, to be trained to
take orders without questioning.
Policies are being made here and
after two days 1t has been decided
that the 440 officer candidates being
trained at this time shall be in
creased progressively by selecting
more than 1000 additional candi-
dates. A second class of $50 will
enter in two weeks and for each
five successive weeks classes of 125
each will be enrolled.
The objective of the WAAC Army
to replace officers and men who
are needed for tactical duties-is
going to hit home at Fort Des
Moines. Col. Faith said they will
replace 10. per cent of the soldiers
at the fort early this fall. His
secretary, a sergeant, will 60 to COM
bat duty and be replaced by a
WAAC. Other secretaries and clerks
will be replaced from time to time.
It requires 200 officers and 1882
enlisted men to man the school and
the fort, he said. Thirty of the
officers and 400 of the men are the
stations standing complement.
Great Possibilities.
Carried out to its fullest, the
WAAC Army offers great possibilities
In increasing the combatant man.
power Of the United States Army.
The q, 900 enrolment which is the
aim of 1943 could release the equiv
alent number of men to make up
combat divisions. Increase the
WAACs to 10000 as authorized by
lawN and approximatelE-f1 new di-
visions could be thrown where most
needed.
The WAACs are a going concern.
Their usefulness is unlimited. Be-
fore long, companies of no less than
so will be stationed in various posts
Port Meade, Md, among them.
But Washington, 1t appears at
this writing, Is not likely to see any
except as birds Of apssage. Mrs
Hobby said there are no plans to
filter WAACs into the War Depart
ment. The general staf1, 1t seems,
has set up priority on where the
WAACs are going, and the War De-
partment just isn't on the list. Yet
time changes everything.
