Washington, June 10-lNS-Sen.
Wayland Brooks (R) H.. today
demanded that 1000 small planes
and pilots in the Civil Air Patrol
be put on active duty under such
famous flyers as Capt. Eddie Rick
enbacker to wipe out the subma-
rine menace along the eastern sea-
board.
Emphasizing that tae nation is
engaged in total war Brooks said:
1T is up to us TO make use
Of every resource at our command.
In the Civil Air Patrol we have a
resource that is not being used

tent. More than that, IL Is not

queried. Admittedly they are the
best device for the purpose, but
our problem is already with us and
the blimps are not"
Brooks said that registrations OF
the Civil Aeronautics Authority
show there are thousands of small,
priyately-owned planes available
for service, perhaps as many as
$4,000 OF these. 1000 are equip
ped with two-way radio making
them suitable for submarine patrol
duty.
These ships have top speed Of

said "can land in a corn field
They need no special equipment

pose.

carry a load of $50 pounds Brooks
said this load could be divided into
so pounds for a rubber boat and
radio. and the balance used for

each.

Bus Service
May Not
be Affected
Federal Order Not
Clear

Bus service between Ypsilsnti
and nearby communities probably
will not be affected by the Of
flee of Defense Transportation 5
new ruling placing intercity buses
on a wartime footing. l.. d. Gum.
manager OF the local office OF Great
Lakes Bus Lines said today.
AS yet through service has not
been affected. Since our inter.
city service is a part OF our through
service. the ruling probably will
not bring about, any changes
here" he explained.
Mr.. Gum emphasized, however,
that the O.D.T. order is not clear
even in the minds of bus lines of
ficials so that schedules may be
more affected than is apparent at
present.
The OD.T. ruling froze present
routes. banned express service.
discontinued schedules where the
HdobtukCi lOduS were not more
than 40 per cent OF capacity ex-
cept for one round trip per day.
discontinued service to places of
amusement, and pooled competitive
services on the same or closely
parallel routes. The ruling will
become effective July !.
I'VE have been operating on
schedule similar to the new rul-
ing for the past month"; Mr.
Gum said. In June one bus be
tween Ann Arbor and Detroit was
discontinued in the morning and
was added TO night schedules.
So far no restrictions have been
placed on Great Lakes Lines ex-
press service. MIR. Gum stated,
but added that the service might
be affected by the new ruling.
Il don't believe that the order
10 discontinue schedules where
passenger service is not more than
80 per cent of capacity could ar
feet us as all our buses are oper-
ating now at practically a 100 per
cent capacity he said IF we
were forced to discontinue some
