Speedy Action Of U. s. Mission In London
 Is Characteristic Of Dynamic General Arnold
LEARN PEOPLE sAY 4E Ts EVERYTHING DONE YEsTERDAY

The walls of his oflce here, near the War Department building, are covered with pictures of famous flights and flyers. The windows are filled with black-and-white trans parencies of planes, old and new. On his desk-where Billy Mitchell once worked--are two model bomb CTS, and other models hover over the safe. Two clocks, one with east ern war time, the other Greenwich civil time, remind him that Ameri- can planes are flying on many fronts.
 TURNS HIS PLANE
 INTO OFFICE-HOME
 Tn peacetime Gen. Arnold spends from 200 to 400 hours a year in the air. His plane is equipped as an office and a home. Bedding is al- ways on board. And for a man who has spent good part of his life in the air, Gen. Arnold is remark ably proficient in ground activities. He golfs in the low eighties, is a crack shot and fisherman.
 Two of the generals three sons are in the army, and his daughter is married to Q naval aviator. But before the war there was nothing he liked better than to spend hours in his working shop making model planes with his children.
 Gen. Arnold discovered many other abilities when he started do- ing things for his children. The flying stories he started writing for his sons amusement turned into the popular Bill Bruce boys books. And the animal cakes he made one Christmas to decorate the tree have turned into an annual institution by popular demand.
 Today, of course, these hobbies are things of the past and future. Even with his great ability for work Che wrote his last book by working from midnight to 6 6. m.) his full time now is too little to do everything he'd like for the Army Air Force.
 That's why, more than ever, 'lae wants everything done yesterday"

 Washington, May 2S-If faster, harder blows at Hitler is what the average Englishman demands, he couldn't ask fer better man than It. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, joint leader of the special United States war mission just arrived in London. For the head of the Army Air Forces is Q man who refuses to be- lieve that it can't be done" and who, as one of his aides remarked, always wants everything done yes- terday."
 Britons got a taste of typical Arnold action on the day he ar- rived in London. Less than two hours after he hopped of the train that brought him from trans Atlantic plane, he was in his offlce at American headquarters, up to his neck in American air operation plans,, and arranging conferences with British air chiefs.
 HE'S BEEN FLYING
 FOR S1 YEARS
 "General-Wants It Done Yester- day" Arnold got of to his flying start in 1911, a young lieutenant of infantry four years out of West Pointi-where he acquired the nick name Hap" (for Happy and an aversion to tobacco '(because some prankster gave him his first chew just before a relay race). He won his wings--and U. s. pilot license No. 29-after two hours and 20 minutes of flying at the Wright Brothers school in Dayton, Ohio.
 During the next few years avla- tion history and Hap Arnold were almost synonymous. He was the first flyer in the world to report and regulate artillery fire from the air; first air-mail pilot in the U. S.; first to fire machine gun from the air. He would have been first to drop bomb from plane had 1t not been for the fact that his plane would not take oil with both bomb and Arnold, and he had to Surren- der his seat to a man 35 pounds lighter.

A SUMMER AT HOME

Other summers were never ct home, It seemed time one liked to roam. m early spring we fixed up the yard, Kept the paths trim, planted beans and Swiss chard, Put up the awnings, got out the lawn chairs Fixed everything up fine for home affairs But once the nlacs of May were faded we allowed ourselves to be persuaded To 20 places free days and nights Tn the old bus to see the sights Game 8 long weekend we planned 1t 90 wed have some definite place to go. Left our comfortable house and porch, Along the highways to speed and Scorch, couple of hundred miles or more To . well known lake resort or shore. Took our golf clubs, our dinner clothes To have time take in summer shows. Most of summers were skilhuly planned To see those places somuch in demand, To dine at every popular eating place To visit Jones Beach, to keep up the pace At home the curtains were usually drawn, There was little activity on our nicely cut lawn. But things are going to be different now, We expect to stay at home we may buy cow. we're going to settle down, we're not going to roarn This summer, folks were getting acquainted with home

If further proof were needed that the Army Air Force commander is no armchair general, it could be found in the feats for which--a quarter of a century ago-he won the Mackay trophy.
 ONLY TWO CRACKUPS
 HAVE MARRIED CAREER
 In 112 Hap Arnold won the first Mackay trophy to be awarded. Sit- ting on the wing of a 40-horsepower Wright biplane (whose propellors were connected to the motor with a bicycle chain and sprockets) he completed a 40-minute reconnais- sance. In 1894 he won the trophy a second time for leading a flight of 10 bornbers $500 miles to Alaska and back.

Today, at 56, Hap Arnold shows few signs of strain from long hy- ing career. He looks younger than he is, though his blond hair is get- ting white. His dancing deep blue eyes account as much as his smile for his nickname. A slight chin scar speaks of one of his two air. plane accidents.
 Having spent so much of his life at air speed. Gen. Arnold can't seem to adjust his pace to ground speed. He does everything at triple time, not just double time," said one of his aides. He has a gigantic capac- ity fer work and an uncanny meIn- ory for detail. He usually arrives at his office at 7:30 in the morning, stays there for 12 hours straight.
