AVIATION COURSE
 AT COLLEGE SET
Eight Connecticut Institu= tiOns Plan Postwar
 Classes; Yale on List
(NEA Telephoto)

Eight Connecticut colleges and universities are planning to con- tinue, expand or establish student courses in various aspects of avia- tion after the war, it was disclosed in their responses to nationwide survey of educational institutions made public today by Ernest R. Breach, president of BendiX Avia- tion Corporation.
 The Connecticut schools planning postwar educational programs relat- ing to aviation include Teachers College of Connecticut, New Britain; University of Connecticut, Storrs; New Haven YMCA Junior College, New Haven; Wesleyan University, Middletown; Junior College of Con- necticut, Bridgeport; Trinity College, Hartford; Hillyer Junior College, Hartford and Yale University.
 Yale University pointed out that its future courses in the basic sciences and engineering fields will continue to emphasize general scien- tific instruction to give Yale grad uates solid foundations for positions in the aviation field.
 IT. common with most of the other 455 American schools and colleges which responded to the company's survey, the Connecticut schools said they would require for teaching pur- poses large quantities of the govern ment-owned aircraft equipment, which will be declared surplus after the war.
 A total of 342 schools in their re- plies stressed the need for supply ing to the nations colleges at low cost quantities of surplus uSeable aircraft equipment, as fundament- al contribution to the future con- tinuous development of aviation education, it was pointed out.
 This equipment will be made available to the schools on sale or lease basis, under provisions of the federal Surplus Disposal law, Breech stated.
 Replies to the Bendix survey to date reveal that at least BOT colleges have specific plans for teaching some aspects of aviation after the war, according to Breech, who head ed the surplus aircraft disposal committee of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce.
 The survey further disclosed that PIP schools already offering aviation curricula plan to continue or ex- pand after the war, and that 95 schools which do not teach aero- nauticS at present are definitely in terested in or planning to establish postwar courses, Breech stated.

PEP AND ORTIZ BOTH SEEKING
 THREE TITLES

Boston, July 11.-(UP)-World's featherweight champion, Willie Pep of Hartford Conn.,, arrives here to- day for a five-day workout before he meets world bantamweight cham pion Manuel Ortiz of Fl Centro, Cal, in a 10-round non-title bout at Braves field Monday night.
 Pep, unscathed after his winning bout with Willie Joyce in Chicago last Friday, was to workout at the same gymnasium where Ortiz has been training for nearly two weeks.
 The bout will mark the first time that two champions ever had fought in the city and is believed the first time in boxing history that two champions of almost the same weight ever had been matched at the height of their careers.
 Pep was expected to rule slight favorite as result of his victory over the lightweight Joyce who twice in recent months defeated Henry Arm strong.

Benrus, Wotcos, U. S.. T. SoftboII Winners

One tightly-played contest, an- other to 6 game and an easy vic- tory were recorded last night in IRA Softball competition among the mems teams. Benrus won 4-3 game from Bristol Company when a runner was nabbed at the plate trying to score the all-even run, the baserunner, Johnny Hardenburg being injured on the play. Timely hitting by Gallulo, who single scored two runs in the fifth inning, and a home run by Joe Bowler in the sixth tied and won the game.
 Too much of handicap to over- come in the form of sixrun deficit in the opening inning cost Amer ican Brass a g to game, won by Waterbury Companies. Bucking- hams infleld play and hitting proved a prominent factor in the victory. Frankie Berardi gave the loser but six hits and hit home run and two singles when he came to bat.
