ENTERTAINING

Divided into two parts. the
show is an entertaining presenta-
tion Of deception. illusion, mys-
terry and magic. Its props are as
scmblcd faultlesSly by backStage
tcchnicians whose ingenuity is a
contributing factor TO successful
exhibition of each spectacle.
Every magician has an assist
ant. but Blackstone employs - ot
them in this revue. The II men
assist in maneuvering the heavy
equipment. while the 10 pretty
girls serve as eye-arresting de-
CoyS.
one of the most battling tricks
IN the first part Of the show was
the Floating Light. What looked
like a plain electric light bulb suS-
pended itself in mid-air upon di-
rcction of the magician. who then
stepped from the stage TO give in
divldualS closeup view Of the
phenomenon.
Another surprise Is the Flying
Bird Cage mystery, in which A
cage and the canary occupant
disappear into thin air from
Blackstone's fingertips.
Outstanding mystery toward the
conclusion is an illusion which
was willed TO Blackstone by the
late Harry Kellar. It's called the
karnac levitation and shows
girl floating in midair, away from
all obstacles. while Blackstone
passes a hoop around her.
Spectacular and extremely puZ-
Iling is Blackstone's creation ot
the Indian Rope Trick. A rope
rises from a basket and stands
straight in the air without any
visible support.

The build ing is furnace heated, glass win dowed and by comparison, is a luxurious structure boasting neon lights, built-in desks and black board. Textbooks are furnished by the United States Armed Forces Institute, Alaska branch, and are reprints of the latset civil ian texts.
 Women are scarce in the Aleu- tians, but Williwaw has two. Miss Wilma Warther, of the American Red Cross, from Sitka, Alaska, is a student and also serves as teach CT of shorthand. Miss Betty Bates, American Red Cross worker from Detroit, Mich, is instructress in the Art Appreciation class.
 Most men coming to school out here really want to learn. They are serious about their studying, and the civilian educational insti- tutions that get them will notice this determination to get a thor ough education," says Cpl. Stan ton and It. Barnes. As an example they point to five colored soldiers who show up at odd hours all week to practice typing on their own time.
 They know it is going to be tough out there in civilian life, and they don't want to be on any body's breadline," the Williwaw Tech mentors conclude.

"WILLIWAW TECH" NEW G.I. SCHOOL,
 OPENS AT SIENNA

Headouarters, Alaskan Depart ment-"Williwaw Tech, the new Army education school conducted during regular duty hours at Shemya, Alaska, already counts an enrolment of over 1000 GIs. Most of them have returned to the school book to sharpen their knowledge while awaiting trans portation for the final trip home and the school isn't letting them down. Far from it.
 Offered in the curriculum of Williwaw are subjects ranging from Business Law to Slide Rules and Logarithms, with the courses set up in blocs of 20 hours. These bloc units enable those men who are sent home in mid-courSe to have accomplished a definite unit of study. All study courses are of fered for one hour each day on a five-day week basis, and special night courses are available to those who cannot attend regular day classes. Sixteen subjects are offered for two hours in the eve ming, four evenings a week. The night courses have a current at tendance of $40 men.
 While in class, rank and it's privileges are ignored. In one class may be seen a lieutenant colonel Gin charge of all quarter master operations on the islanO flanked by a Pfc. and a navy sea- man. Rank of instructors runs from major down to Pfc. All take chances on questions along with everyone else, and no one has been embarrassed yet.

INVADER USED IN ETO
 FOR LOW LEVEL ATTACKS

against enemy airdromes, supply lines, troop concentrations, and shipping where quick break-aWay from the target writes the differ ence between "getting the hell out" or taking on the appearance of well-riddled hunk of cheese. All pilots flying the A-26 are agreed that it is extremely easy to handle, has we'll grouped controls, comfortable seating and devoid of any vicious tricks.
 Although use of the A-26 Invad- CT has been confined mainly to the. European Theater of Operations where it is gradually replacing the APO and the B-26, it's evident re- fnements of construction, fire pow CT and maneuverability make it the perfect answer to what the Army Air Forces require for the blast ing of targets of opportunity in the Pacific theater, where strafng and skip bombing play larger and more important role than they do over Europe. One of the secrets about the A-26 not revealed is it's range. It can be said, however, that it has longer endurance power than the APO Havoc or the B-26 Ma rauder. It has, for bomber type aircraft, very good rate of climb.
 The A-26's fire power is some thing to get excited about. Its ar mament, extremely flexible, in cludes various combinations of .50- caliber machine guns and 20.37, and 75 nm. cannon, making it's offen- sive striking power adaptable to al most any combat situation. Both it's top and bottom turrets are remote controlled and another of it's un- usual developments is the "all pur- pose nose." This nose enables the A-26 Gin addition to standard ar mament) to be rapidly and easily equipped for special missions on the production line, thus saving a trip to a modification center. The Invaders accessible and quick

headquarters at Charlotte, N. C., is the training of A-26 crews. This Wing of Major General Frank O'D. Hunters First Air Force is under the command of Brig. Gen. Robert c. Oliver, a combat flyer who's been around in this war. From a handful of pilots as nu- cleus, the Wing under Gen. Oli- ver's guidance evolved a thorough ly proficient instructor group of combot tested returnees.
 To approach combat and combat conditions at their closest the Wing engages in bi-monthly simulated maneuvers. Field orders coordinat- ing the participation of all Wing bases are issued. A simulated situ- ation is designed, and actual com bat briefngs involving intelligence. communications, and armament problems held. Crews are thus nodded into a team, trained as team and after the prescribed num- Der of weeks in training are ready for the real war in a big league aircraft-the A-26.
 Each A-26 combat crew now un- dergoing training consists of one pilot and a gunner. Special care is exercised in matching up pilots and gunners so as to obtain combat crews which, in personality and all other characteristics, can work vir tually as a single individual under combat conditions. All permanent personnel of the 56th Combat Crew Training Wing charged with the flight training of combat crews are themselves combat men returned from active duty in the various theaters of war.
 Col. J. H. Davies, who has had extensive experience flying A-24s B-25s and A-2Os against the Japs, recently had this to say after he had test-fown the Invader:
 "This airplane, if properly en- ployed, can be the greatest striking arm of the Army Air Forces"
 If the enthusiasm displayed at the First Air Forces Florence Army Air Field means anything at all the A-26 Invader is destined to fulfill this prophecy in spades.
Bradley beam., 1945-03-10

something reserved for Buck Rogers cartoons" The Invader is capable of approaching a target "on the deck," then pull up into steep climb, and reach medium al- titude in a minimum of time. Be- cause of these qualities the A-26 is able to avoid detection until so close to the target the enemy is without sufficient time to send fighter opposition into the air or get it's anti-aircraft into operation.
 In design the A-26 utilizesi the new laminar flow, high speed wing with seventy-foot wing span. The length of it's all-metal fuselage is fifty-nine feet. As with most ''hot" airplanes, it has a tricycle. landing gear for easy landing at 120 mph. The new bubble-type canopy gives increased visibility and the Invad- er's excellent armor plating will enable it to absorb plenty of fax blows and still come back.
 The primary mission of the 56th Combat Crew Training Wing with
