Special to NEA
San Angelo, Tex, Nov. 26-Amer-
ica's newest aerial fighters, a COM
bination of dead-reckoning naviga-
tor and bombadier, are in training
here for double duty in air over
Europe and the Pacific.
Not yet unleashed on the Ger
mans and the Japs. this new air.
fighting hybrid will be the most
deadly man in the world. In the
Allies fast medium bombers he can
navigate the ship to the objective,
then man the bombsight for releas-
ing the bomb load.
In the four-engine ships, he'll be
relief man for the celestial
navigator or emergency navigator
in case Of casualty to the navigat-
ing officer. Conceivably. such men
will save many a crew by bringing
ships home safely.
THEY'RE MAP EXPERTS
The ad-reckoning navigation
learned by the ''bombagators" isn't
to be confused with the celestial
navigation of the officers who train
for navigator's wings. The former
rely on landmarks and their ability
to read maps. Drift meters and
other instruments give the relation
Of the ships course to the objec-
tive-all variables considered. Ce-
lestial navigatorS rely on the posi-
ton of the sun at day, the stars at
night.
Also, the navigation training
will enable the bombadier more
successfully to control the ship as
the target is approached. This pc
riod of attack calls upon the skill
of the bombardier In the use of
maps to recognize landmarks prior
to making the final bomb run. This
attack period often covers so to 60
miles Of territory which Is heavily
protected and much Of which is
camouflaged.
Importantly, too, the "bomba-
gator" can be q relief man for the
| celestial navigator in the new giant
bombers which are being produced.
The duration of the missions of
these new super planes will be so
great that one man will be unable
to give maximum performance at
the navigation controls without re-
lief. The bombardier will, in this
sense, act as co-navigator, much as
the co-pilot is relief man for the
airship's skipper.

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-Alfred p.
Sloan, jr., chairman of General Mo-
tors Corp, declared today in a
statement on dividends by the COM
pany that in all probability, they

for the duration"
The huge automotive-and war
material-concern paid s3.57 a share
IN 1910 and l94l, then dropped to
81 for 1912 and has paid 81 so far
this year with another 50-cent pay
ment scheduled September l3.
Mr.. Sloan cited the corporations
own profit limitation policy" rene
gotation. heavy taxation and the
necessity for establishing reserves.
General Motors earlier this week
reported 1t had set aside S8,322, ,573
in the second quarter as a reconver-
sion reserve, lifting the total to $685.
562.97l for this purpose.
Excess profits taxes and profit
limitations on war contracts" Mr.
Sloan said, have the effect of es-
tablishing what is practically ceh-
ing on net income for dividead
