IMPORTANT CHORES

Civilian instructors have suffered
number of ma or and minor annoyances
because they were not technically 'in the
army" Many local draft board has
apparently been puzzled by this phrase.
Often an instructor was forced to leave
his duties and travel hundreds of miles
to explain that even though he was not
'in the Army" he was doing a job for
which the Army-and the country
could never really repay him. Finally,
this difficulty was solved by placing the
instructors in the enlisted reserve corps
where they are actually members of an
army component but not on active Army
duty.
Countless times an instructor has re-
sisted the urge to choke an old friend
who asked, Aren't you flier? Why
aren't you in the Army?''
Civilian instructors have taken a tre-
mendous load off the army instructors.
Most of them have had little or no army
flying training. But they know the fun
damentals of flying as we'll as the "hot-
test" AAF pilots and cadets must learn
those fundamentals before they take on
the chandelles and figure eights or any
complicated military maneuvers.
So the civilians have assumed the all
important chore of introducing the air.
men to the air. AAF pilots are free to
concentrate on the advanced phases.
AS with practically all fliers, these
civilians would rather be in combat than
in teaching. But they are needed where
they are. Each one can turn out scores
of new pilots-on the fighting front, he
would be only one man.
The primary instructors job is prob
ably the most difficult and nerve-wreck-
ing in all of flying training. Nobody
knows what a young student will do the
first few times in the air. The civilian
teacher must be constantly on the alert
for any sudden error on the part of his
student. He assumes the tremendous re-
sporsibility of determining whether the
cadet can or cannot become a pilot; for
more candidates lacking the peculiar COM
bination of qualities of flier must be
weeded out in primary than in any other
phase of flying training.
And the work is deadly monotonous.
Many of these instructors have thousands
Of flying hours behind them, all have
hundreds. But they must go over and
over the simplest fundamentals-like Phi.

HEROES WITHOUT MEDALS
ARE HELPING WIN WAR

The headlines tell gratifying story
OF how our army air forces are ripping
the axis apart. There is another part
of the story also gratifying, but not told
in the headlines. It's setting is on the
other end of the airline route to Berlin
and or Tokyo.
The heroes of this story wear no med
ais and get precious little public recogni-
ton. But without them our aerial of
fensive would have been delayed many
mountaineering the loss Of thousands
of American and Allied lives before we
were in position to give more punish
ment than we were receiving.
These heroes are the hundreds of civil
ian instructors in the primary flying
schools of the AAF training command.
The primary schools, in which aviation
cadets first learn to get airplanes off the
ground, are run by civilians on contract
with the government. The civilian oper-
ators retain and pay the instructors, who
are also civilians. Not until they get
into the more military" type of flying
in the basic, or secondary, stage of train
ing do the cadets receive instruction from
army pilots.
An Imperial Valley boy who recently
won his wings had this to say about civil
ian instructors: 81 credit the civilian
instructors with enabling me to get my
commission.
They do the important fundamental
work and get little recognition

WRA CAN'T HANDLE JAPS

Jacksonville Register-Pa jaronian)
Majority of Pajaro Valley residents
for many months nave contended that
army authority should supersede that
of the War Relocation authority in con-
troll of evacuee camps, particularly seq
regation centers for known disloyal de-
scendants of the Rising Sun.
Possibly after the various state and
government committees have completed
their probe into the Tulelake situation,
they will recommend something which
should have been established in the first
place.
The WRA has shown that it cannot
cope with groups of sullen, dsloyal, cum
ming Japs who can find various methods
of sabotage even while confined within
barbed wire fences.
Thousands of Californians have voiced
these warnings repeatedly in the past
and Gov. Earl Warren even uttered some
strong remarks at a governors session
in Ohio several months back. But the
warnings have been ignored-even scott
ed at in many quarters.
1t took the Tulelake revolt to bring
the issue entirely out in the open, for
all to see and ponder over And it was
several days after the trouble started
before the WRA would admit it and then
passed off the first stories as ''nazi prop
aganda,'
Possibly it is good thing that the Japs
did riot-as long as the bloodShed appar-
emily was relatively minor-so that the
fostering condition could be brought into
the open.
When the army took over control at
Tulelake where $4,000 disloyal Japs from
all over the country have been congregat-
ed, it was noted that citizens of this en-
tire area breathed little easier.
Fifteen thousand Japs-or even 1900
or Is Japs-who hate this country With
a fanatic hatred, can do a lot of damage
if uncontrolled and it is evident that at
Tulelake they have not been controlled
Most Of the internees there are of a
caliber not to be managed by civilian So
cal workers. They are trouble-makers
of the worst type, bent on creating "inci-
dents" that TOTO can use to feed his prop
aganda mill.
The zoot-suited. glowering young men
of the camp who have gathered in hood
lum gangs to disOrganize fire protection,
water service and hospital operation, and
who have refused to recognize the author
ity of the camp directors, cannot fail to
recognize that of the United States army,
backed up with bayonets, tanks and tom
my-guns.
Certainly plans have been discussed
among the disloyal Japs for sabotage and
other enemy activities. Sufficient proof
already is established of the i'll will many
Of the internees bear this country, and it
is real relief to the public to know that
the U. S. army acknowledges the danger
and is now on hand to deal with more
trouble if it comes.

German People
To BIame..Ludwiq

NEW YORK, Nov. Is. up
Emil Ludwig, German-born biog-
rapher and historian, suggested to-
day that the German people should
be held responsible for the war, and
their governmental power should be
assumed by United Nations pro-
tectorate which would withdraw the
nations arms and place her liter
ature, theater and education under
control.
There will be no question of
what to do with Adolf Hitler, he
said, since as a defeated conqueror
he will be assassinated by his own
people, probably the Junkers, or
will commit suicide.
In a book entitled How to Treat
the Germans" published by the
Willard Publishing company, Lud-
wig declared that Germany as a
nation was responsible for the war
and should be punished as nation.
Any undue feeling of sympathy"
for the German people, he said, was
