The $4,000 private planes in the
United States form the equipment

dustry capable of increasing its
annual output to $4,000 planes
without plant expansion and with
a minimum of critical labor. The
question of providing planeless
CAP fliers with ships at govern

The danger exists that the light
er plane industry, holding few mill

to procure material priorities, may
disintegrate and its startling pro-

aviation or we won't have it,

The CAP Is being organized

WESTINGHOUSE impetus to private flying which the
civilian pilot training program hoped to achieve when it was
initiated in 1889 sharply reflected in the comparison of
figures of JAM of that and JAM 1912 just made
public by Charles l. Stanton acting administrator of civil
aeronautics.
On Jan. l, 1899, according to CAA records there
were 22,9S3 certificated pilots in this country. On

three years of the pilot training program, almost $4,000

turned out by the CPT leaving roughly $4,000 who learned

Rumors of new Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor, believed to have
been started by German radio
broadcasts, were officially denied
yesterday by a Navy Department
spokesman.
The Navy issued its statement
after Majority Leader Mccormack
had said in the House that members
told him of a radio report that
Pearl Harbor again was being at
tackled.
In New York the Associated Press
reported competent observers said
the broadcasts were sent out as
news items" under Oslo, Stockholm
or Shanghai dates by Nazi radio
stations in Berlin or in other parts
of German occupied Europe and all
of them were patiently garbled ver-

From Hong Kong,
Canadians Report
No Evidence, However,
Thot Troops Suffered,
Commons Is Told
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCldLeQ HIeSS.
OTTAWA, Ontario, June g.
Canada's expeditionary force to
Hong Kong, which surrendered to
the Japanese Christmas Day, 194l,
fought without its mechanical trans
port because 212 vehicles were di-
verted by United States naval au-
thorities, a Royal Commission re-
ported to the House of Commons
yesterday.
There is no evidence, however,
that the troops suffered" through
this miscarriage, the report said.
When Canadians sailed for Hong
Kong there was not room on the
troopship Awatea, the report said,
but shortly after the expedition
sailed, space for the vehicles unex-
pectedly became available in an
American ship and that ship sailed
with the vehicles on November 4,
but did not reach its destination
before the outbreak of hoStilities, as
she was diverted by the United
States naval authorities.
Had she been allowed to follow
her normal route, she would have
reached Hong Kong before the Jap
anese forces or before the Japanese
attack opened"
The report said per cent Of the
two regiments, the Winnipeg Grena-
diers and the Royal Rifles of Cam
ada, had less than 16 weeks Of mill
tary training but that this did not
detract from the efficiency of the
battalion as a whole"
The inquiry, which was made by
Chief Justice Sir Lyman Duff, was
ordered after complaints in the
House of Commons that the expedi-
ton was not properly equipped and
trained.

Plans to Open Up Second Front
British Admiral
Tells of Commundos'
'Offensive' Ruids

Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of
the commandos, conferred with
American officials today on methods
for turning commando raids into
advance operations for invading the
continent of Europe and opening up
the long second front
against the Germans.
The word defensive is never in
cluded in our vocabulary and never
need be-" the celebrated vice ad-
miral said in an interview here yes
terday. I'VE speak and work only
in terms of offensive
In the past the offensives of the
commandos have been carried out
to accomplish particular tasks-ike
the wrecking of the great drydock
at st. Nazaire-and not to pave the
way for an army of invasion.
Tells of Raids.
Natty in his white admiral'S suit,
Lord Mounbatten talked to the press
for half an hour at the Willard Ho-
tel with great pride about the oper-
ations he directs. Some of the raids
are exciting, he said, and some are
dull and some are disappointing
like the raid on Marshal Erwin
Rommels headquarters in Libya the
night before the Axis began the
current Libyan action.
Marshal Rommel disappointed the
raiders by being absent-at a birth
day party in Rome, it transpired
later-when they entered his quar-
ters. The yen for gaiety saved the
German marshal from the humih-
alton of being taken captive. His
staff officers were killed. Now he
has new staff" Lord Mountbatten
said.
Its a young mans game"-com-
mando-raiding, Lord Mountbatten,
AZ, acting vice admiral, honorary
air marshal, great-grandson of
Queen Victoria, cousin of King
George VI-said.
Age Limit for Officers.
His staff officers must be at least
30. but not over so, because:
IF they are over so, their minds
may be getting rather rigid"
The brigadier in command of one
of the combined operations special
service brigades, aged "a, was
watching the men of his brigade
limbering up by scaling a vertical
cliff 100 feet high.
He thought they were a bit slow
about it," Lord Mountbatten said,
"and he proceeded to climb up it
quicker than the rest. This shows
the advantage of young leader"
Americans on Staff.
"The underlying force of the COM
mando is teamwork" he said. 1t
represents the combined operations
of the army, navy and air force,
with staff composed of officers
from these three services, with
marines. American officers are serv-
ing on his staff, Lord Mountbatten
said
Under the combined operations
staff are the special services bri-
gades, which correspond to a bat
talon in an infantry organization.
These brigades are the Commands,
but some mont Commands take part
in the raids.
"A particularly encouraging point
about these operations" Lord
Mountbatten said, although up to
now they have been small-scale
