Nation S High Schools
To Be Geared for
Pilot Training
Elementary Courses
Planned to Find Flyers
For Vast Air Armada
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Nations high schools soon
will be geared to the elementary
training of pilots to fly Americas
great air armada.
J. w. Studebaker, commissioner
of education, disclosed today that
the plan contemplates the teach
ing of aeronautics in all high schools
where Is or more prospective air
cadets can be enrolled.
1T Is expected" DR.. Studebaker
said. "tnat recommendation for
pre- e-pilot refresher courses in physics
and mathematics soon will be sent
to all school systems of the country
these recommendations to be fol-
lowed soon thereafter by the publi-
cation of detailed suggestions ema-
mating from the Army and Navy
as to the course outlines and in
structional materials"
Thousands of Pilots Needed.
The Once of Education and rep
reSentatives of the Army, Navy and
Civil Aeronautics Administration
now are comforting to determine
what the high schools can do i'm
mediately to speed the pilot train
ing program, in view of the PreSi-
dents goal to produce $4,000 planes
this year and 125,000 in 1943.
DR.. Studebaker outlined tenta-
tive plans agreed upon as follows:
l. For the present semester, math-
ematics and physics applicable to
the work of pilots might be handled
as extra subjects in the boys sched-
ules, or taught before and after reg
uar school hours.
2. Intensive refresher and pre-
pilot training courses might be given
in the summer schools of the larger
communities and boys from nearby
communities permitted to attend,
tuition-free.
Courses to Start in Fall.
3. Next September a full semes-
ters work in aeronautics should be
offered in every high school in which
as many as IS prospective physically
qualified air cadets can be enrolled.
Boys who have taken such courses
will be enabled, upon their induc-
ton into air cadet training, to de-
vote more time to flying. Fewer
boys will be washed OUT in the
ground school phases of their first
three months training period.
Definite plans for the administra-
tion of such courses will be issued
soon. The outline of the plans made
no mention of compulsion, it being
assumed that eligible youths would
make up their own minds whether
to take the courses.

GOV. H. H. LEHMAN
WILL HAVE TO FEED
WORLD AFTER WAR
FUTURE JOB GREATER THAN
HOOVER UNDERTAKING OF
WORLD WAR I; WIDER
SCOPE
BY JACK sT1NNETT
AP Features Service Writer

-AA AOoIOACS OSI VICE nIIIeT
WASHINGTON, Dec. IT.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman has
been handed one of the wars
toughest jobs.
AS Director of Foreign Relief
and Rehabilitation, he will be
the Herbert Hoover of World
War II, but without depreciating
the splendid job done by Mr.
Hoover Is years ago, the task
facing Governor Lehman is ten
times that.
Hoover had to deal principally
with Belgium, parts of France.
Russia and Italy and a few scat
tered small nations. Governor
Lehman will have to consider a
big chunk of the whole world.
There already have been stor-
les that when our supply lines
IN the Solomons forced our troops
to cut to two meager meals a
day, consisting principally of
canned meat, we still were dis
tributing food to hungry natives
half starved during japanese oc-
cupation.
Food Wins In North Africa?
When the full story of North
Africa is told, it's likely that the
prospect of more and better food
will have had more to do with
capitulatioin of the French CO.
lonials and natives than all the
Darlans and GiraudS in the book.
1t is considered here that Spain
and Portugal are staying neutral
strictly from hunger. And it's a
common saying that Italy will
trade unconditional surrender
for a ham sandwich.
From Greece to Norway, from
Brittany to Finland. the occu-
pied and Nazi-allied countries
already are starving.
Food, medicine, clothing and
even small arms have to be got
ten to our allies inside the lines,
as well as to those now neutral
who might be brought into the
ranks of United Nations.
That sets up Governor Leh-
man in his new post as a sort of
super-czar of economic warfare.
Battle Of Century
1t means also that he will
have to fight one of the battles
of the century with the agencies
and men in charge of production
and distribution of food, clothing.
etc. in this country.
Think of it in the simple
terms of one single commodity:
meat. If our armed forces,
civilians, and the few allies al
ready being taken care of have
already forced the nation to meat
rationing. whom is the new Di-
rector of FIR going to rob" to
get the supplies he must have. to
do any kind of job at all? How
is he going to do it without up
setting price control? Where is
he going to get the transporta-
ton to get these supplies to the
starving nations?
These are a few of the primary
problems that will beset the
good governor of New York.
