AIR FORCE ACCIDENTS AND
 FATALITIES SHOW DECREASE

WASHINGTON = The rate of AAF aircraft accidents and the rate of fatalities in such accidents in the United States decreased substan- tially during the first six months of 1914 over the corresponding per, iod last year, the War Department disclosed recently.
 Reflecting the emphasis placed on flying safety by the Air Forces, the rate of accidents of all kinds dropped 29 per cent. The rate of training accidents was reduced by 25.5 per cent. These figures, based on the percentage of accidents per 10000 hours of flying, show 37.5 per cent reduction in the rate of all fatal accidents, and a 40 per cent reduction in the fatal training acci- dent rate for the six-month period
 Fatality rates were reduced more than third. The death rate re- ported from all AAF flying acci- dents was 35 per cent less in the six-month period last year. For training accidents only, the rate

dropped 33 per cent.
 The rate of aircraft wrecked de- creased by 23.5 per cent, while the rate of wrecked aircraft in train. ing only was reduced by 20 per cent.
 As result of it's outstanding ac- cident-prevention work, the Army Air Forces was awarded pennant by the national Safety Council for Distinguished Service to Safety" It was the second consecutive year the Air Forces received such an award.

The calendar hanging in Captain Allphin's office is mute evidence that the San Francisco Examiner, Monarch of the Dailies," continues to hold high priority in his heart.
 Born in Nebraska, he calls Cal ifornia his home, being schooled at San Diego where he majored in Economics and Journalism and par ticipated in the usual sports and fraternal activities. He went to San Francisco in the early thirties to complete his education but the lure of printers ink changed his mind and he went to work for Northern California's Leading Newspaper" (plug). He continued on there til the summer of AZ when his appli- cation for active duty in the AAF was accepted.
 Upon completion of Officers training in Miami he was assigned to the First Air Force at Mitchell Field, N. Y, and subsequently, de- tailed to duty at Bradley Field, Upon activation of one of Bradley's sub-bases, at New Haven, Connec- ticut, the Captain was assigned there as Base Adjuatant. "Those were the days when ones Army education was expanded in prac- tical way and in very short time, :" he states, "having one primary duty and about ten additional dut- ies including everything from mess and supply officer to special serv- ices plus little chaplain's work on the side"
 He returned to Bradley Field in May of '43 and proceeded to First Air Force Headquarters and com- pleted an instructors course in Air, craft Recognition coming back to Bradley to assume the duties of as- sistant Intelligence Officer and as- sistant Public Relations Officer, which assignments he has held since that time, broken only by a two-month period while attending the AAF Air Intelligence School at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
 His work is his hobby; however before joining up he filled in his spare time teaching Life Saving Water Safety and First Aid for the Red Cross. He claims the largest file he has compiled to date in-
