The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Ma,or Robert .. Allen on active dutyJ
 sSt

WASHINGTON-General Arnold did not say so in his report to the Secretary of War, but the trench dous job of expanding air forces personnel is almost finished. Fe might have penned a little foot note, saying, We have pilots run ming out of our ears
 No cadet training bases have been closed as yet, but the Army Will close approximately one dozen schools for training pilots between now and April. Air Forces officials find that the elaborate program has now pro duced enough competent navigators and pilots to finish the job in both theatres of war
 The tip-off to this is found in re- cent changes in policy of the Trans port Command
 Army Transport Command, which does combat flying all over the world, has always preferred to take pilots from the open market, usual ly from the airlines. These pilots are specially trained in safe, eff cient transport flying, as distin- guished from the combat type of training in the Army Air Forces.
 Recently, however, spor Command has been forbidden to take on civilian pilots, and has been forced to accept combat-trained pilots from the Air Forces.
 AS one Transport Command of ficer expressed it, They are stuff fling em down our threats UNIFORMS OF RUSSIA'S DEAD
 Most requests from the Russians for military or civilian equipment are okayed almost immediately be- cause of the heroic achievements of the Red Army. But the other day, one came along that wasn't.
 It was a request for consider able quantity of dry-cleaning equip ment. Though at the head of the Russian list, U. s. officials turned it down.
 They thought at first that the Russians were getting fancy, going back to civilian normalcy with a rush. Dry-cleaning equipment, they figured, would take up valuable space on ship which could be used to better advantage.
 Following the turn-down, the Russians appealed. They still in- sisted that the dry cleaning equip ment was most important and should be at the head of the list They also explained that, because of the scarcity of textiles in Russia, they could not bury Russian dead in their uniforms. but must remove

When King Died in India,
Elephant Chose New Ruler

The importance of elephants in
Indian history dates from the
Vedic period, when they were In
dia's king-makers. They were sup
posed to be gifted with an unerr-
ing instinct to spot the real scion
of the royal blood. Whenever a
king died childless, the royal ele-
plant was called upon to solve
the difficulty.
He was gaily caparisoned and
given a garland to put around the
neck of whomsoever he chose IN
his rambles for the quest of a sue
cessor. Wandering through the
hills and dales, the elephant would
come upon the rightful ruler OF
his choice, and put the garland
around his neck. Thus, sometimes
a beggar's bowl was exchanged
for kingly crown.
In this way was the new king
found, and the courtiers who fol-
lowed the royal animal fiocked to
his standard and swore fealty to
him.
