 0. What is the average G.I.'s chance to come home?
 A. Small; most of the Army's strength will be shifted to the Pa cific, and large occupation forces will be needed in Europe.
 Q. Does the G.I. in Europe have better chance for discharge than the soldier in the Pacific?
 A. No; the total of discharges will be spread through all theaters.
 Q. Which men are the most likely to be released first?
 A. Soldiers who have small children at home, and have been overseas and in combat longest.
 Q. Will units, such as battal- ions and divisions, with long com- bat records, be released intact?
 A. No; individuals with top service and dependency ratings will be pulled out for discharge, but the unit will continue. <
 Q. Will men qualifying as ''sur- plus" in overseas theaters be brought home immediately and re- leased?
 A. Probably not; shipping will be diverted to supply the Pacific

Air Medal Advanced One Step Higher In Honor Ratings

Those Air Medals worn by num- erous Air Force soldiers who've been in combat overseas now rate higher than the Purple Heart. un- der a change in Army regulations.
 Some officers and men who have taken their licks at the Axis are entitled to wear both decorations.
 Still heading the award list S the Congressional Medal of Hon. or, presented to persons, who in actual conflict with an enemy, dis tinguished themselves by gallan- try and intrepidity at the risk of their lives "above and beyond the call of duty"
 Other awards placed in order, include the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Soldiers Medal, the Bronze Star Medal, the Air Med- al, the Purple Heart and the Good Conduct Medal.

Bread and Butter Flyers

Regardless of Hollywood dram atics there is no hit or miss tech nique in flying an airplane skill fully. It is business, all the way from the briefing before takeoff to the final roll of the wheels on landing.
 Almost all pilots have seen. a veteran flyer cutting didoes in the sky. That guy, it is the common opinion, is really hot, he is seat of-the-pants-pilot. And brother, how wrong that common opinion is. If the pilot is a veteran flyer he is probably professional, fly ing is his job, his bread and but ter.
 Flying to him is a technique that has taken hundreds of hours to perfect. His perfection is dew eloped in the same manner as that of a surgeon who carves scores of animals before making his first incision in a patient. A skilled sur geon spends several years of prac- tice and thought learning his job. A skilled pilot spends several hun dred hours of practice and thought before he effortlessly flies by what is called the seat of his pants but by what is really precision perfec tion backed by thought and know ledge.
 Airplanes have no opinions, air. planes can't think. This is where the pilots fits in--he must do the thinking. It is thinking ability that enables the pilot to be complete master of his ship. When he stops thinking and applies false con- ception such as a seat-of- -the-pants flying he no longer is master of his airplane and eventually it will take it's toll in crash and injury, perhaps death.

 Reconnaissance - .U.S.Army Air Forces

A new fuel which gives four times the power of aviation gas was announced this week at the annual fall meeting of the Amer ican Chemical Society. Commer
 cial production of this new fuel we'll be underway soon and an in- come of one million dollars an- nually will be devoted entirely to petroleum research in the future. :. The Eighth Air Force sent out one thousand bombers to pound and wreck the ancient German city of Frankfurt, dropping 100000 tons of bombs. This was the six tn day in a row that our Air For ces, combined with the RAF, had the skies over Germany to them selves as the Luftwaffe became in- creasingly difficult to find. In big carrier raid on the Philippines, 200 Japanese planes were destroy ed. Our planes were reported operating from carriers of Admir- al Halsey's Third Fleet and struck at Cebu, Negros, and Panay in the central portion of the Philippine archipelago. |. Now that the air war target has narrowed down to the Reich itself the Germans can expect an average of 5000 planes every day to fly over their land dropping an average of 24O tons of bombs every hour of every day KEEP FEM FLYING!

CIs With Commercial Insurance Policies
 Get Two-Year Break

Under the provisions of the Sol- diers' and Sailors Civil Relief Act as amended on 8 July 1943, com mercial life insurance policies, up to a total amount of ten thousand dollars, may be kept in force with out premium payment until two years after the insured's military service ends.
 The two-year "break" holds true regardless of whether the policies are on life, endowment or term plan, assuming that the insurance qualities for protection as the re- suit of the following:
 If purchase and the first premium was paid at least 30 days before entering the service or be- fore 6 October 1922.
 Eff military service, or the ac- tivities which person might have to engage in while in service, will not reduce the death benefit or re- strict the coverage.
 3-If policy is in force on pre- mium paying basis at the time of application for protection.
 Group life insurance policies come under the scope of this Act, but the Termination of Insurance clause in commercial life insurance policies where "the insurance of any employee covered hereunder shall terminate when his employ ment with the employer termi- mates" must be taken into consi- iteration. The official interpretation by outstanding commercial life in surance companies regards an in- dividual's leaving a firm to enter the Armed Forces as termination of civilian employment status.

 A. No, despite his wound, Bow ser can't wear the Purple Heart for the simple reason that medals are awarded only to humans. If a dogs action warrants it, however, he may get a citation.
 Q. I'd like to transfer to the Paratroops but have been told that I can't because I'm color blind. Is this true?

 Q. Assuming that, say 100000 men are to be discharged, will the Army release the top 100000 rat ings on service and dependency basis?
 A. No; soldiers with special qualifications needed in the Pacific war will not be released, no mat ter what their length of service and combat record.
 0. Will any one branch of the service release more than the oth- CTS?
 A. The biggest initial reduc- tion will be in the ground forces, such as infantry and artillery; some of these, however, will be transferred to air and service fore es to be trained as replacements for men in those branches with higher service ratings.
 Q. Does any particular rating make a soldier automatically elig- ible for discharge?
 A. No; requirements for the Pacific war get first consideration, and the rating becomes important only when the Army decides the individual is not needed in the Pa cific.

 Q. When are premiums due?
 A. Premiums are due each month on the anniversary of the date your insurance became effective.
 Q. How many days are we all lowed before we have to pay the premiums

 A. No. It is advisable to wait until discharged from the service.

Seat of the pants flying may seem dramatic in the movies. But the movies are make-believe. They have nothing to do with the profession of flying as practiced by bread and butter flyers. Profes- sionals find their drama in flying with the minimum of risk and the maximum of safety possible on any given mission.
