Discharges In Effect

Washington, July S-(UP) - Some 30,000 older navy and coast guard reserve officers and men were assured today of discharge by De- cember under the navy's new point discharge plan.
 The plan was formally put into effect last night. It is designed to geturn to civilian life older officers and men who have contributed their eaN share to wartime service"
 8ere's how it works:
 Point Awards
 A total of 53 to 57 points is needed for discharge, depending on the arm of service. Points are awarded solely on the basis of age and length of service. One point is allowed for each year of age to the nearest birthday, and one point for each four months of active duty com- pleted since Sept. l, 1889.
 The navy estimated that 30.600 reservists-11, 500 officers and 19,- 900 enlisted men-would be eligible for release under the system by De- Asmber. However, since the plan is continuous, discharges will go on after that as men accumulate ne- esssary points.
 Immediately Effective
 Discharges will begin immediately out there may be delays of up to six months to prevent impairment of sfficiency.
 The system applies to both men and women reserve officers and en- listed personnel in the navy and coast guard. A similar system is re.

 Byrnes was represented today by authoritative sources as feeling that defense plans and foreign policy have not been correlated in the past, and are not well co-ordinated even now. He wants the diplomats and the general and the admirals to be pulling in the same direction in the future.

Is radio completely ful- filling your neeo for news?" Results of the first survey showed 76.6 were not.

Innocent Man Liberoted

New York, July 26.-(UP)-Ber- trand M. Campbell, who spent three years and four months in Sing Sing prison for another mans crime and waited four more years for exoneration, sat last ngiht in a shabby, four-room flat and told his wife and three children:
 T have been mentally dead for seven years but now, thank God, it's all over."
 Then Campbell told his story to New York reporter.
 Strange Story
 It was the story of middle class suburbanite-a securities broker innocently involved in a clever forg- CTS ruse, and case of mistaken ioenity which deceived even Camp bells close associates. It was the story of a bewildered man, now gray and ST. found guilty of a crime ne knew nothing about: excorciated by a judge who called him a forger and thief; separated from his sob- ping and trusting wife; thrust into a prison life that he now calls a "blackout" period, and paroled af- ter three years only to be summed by his former business associates.
 The story came out yesterday when the real forger, Alexander D. l.. Thiel, was sentenced to prison on another charge and made full confession exonerating Campbell. The resemblance between Campbell and Thiel was not the least of the amazing features of the case. Both have gray mustaches. walk with Q limp and somewhat resemble Lionel Barrymore.
 Heavy Memories
 sitting on . faded cerise couch Campbell tried to reveal his enio- tions during Imprisonment, his shat- tered life, the ignominy which drove his family Into hiding. He slipped glass of beer. tapped Q rattan rug with hls toe.
 Mrs. Campbell, armtd with e huge boz Of letters-hiS letters to her from Sing Sing. neryously tried to refresh his memory on dates and circumstAnces. The children played around the apartment.

Flying Activity
Increased Here;

With the end of the war, ac-
tivity in providing air service
for this area has been stepped
up. Local aviator Herb Henne
has been doing a considerable
amount of flying from the Mob
Hill filed and many other local
flyers are closely watching devel-
opments.
Due to insistent demand airlines
are probing everys possibility as
to providing regular air passenger
and mail service for this region.
In a letter to the Courier-Re
porter James G. Gay, vice presl-
dent of Southwest Anyways COM
pany, describes the service to be
rendered with a "feeder" air line.

suggests the thought of an aux
iliary to mainline system. A
substantial amount of "feeder"
traffic will be carried to conven-
lent interchange points to con-
meet with long-haul or trunk air
lines, but the bulk of a feeder
airlines' business will be local or
short-haul traffic, which has no
relation to the word "feeder."
Thus the trunk airline system
is geared to the needs of long
haul travel; the feeder system to
that short-haul. The terms do not
denote any relative merit or eff
ficiency of the two systems. Any
attempt to think in terms of
mainline" and "jeYkwater" ser
vices is applicable.
Feeder air service, as proposed
by Southwest Anyways, would not
be inferior in any way to the air
service standards the American
public has become used to. A fleet
of 14-passenger airplanes, designed
especially for Short-haul opera
ton by one of Americas leading
aircraft manufacturers, are on or
der. This plane will embody the
latest engineering advancements
made during the war; will cruise
at nearly 200 miles per hour; and,
will possess all the comforts and
conveniences necessary to pleas
ant and enjoyable travel.
A high-wing monoplane ar
rangement has been selected so
that passengers can have a better
vision of the scenery below. A
smaller aircraft is Intentionally
used so that schedules can be
more frequent, a necessity for
short-haul travel. Special operat-
ing procedures and equipment
have been developed to assure
high elapsed speeds on all sched-
ules so that the maximum advan-
tage can be taken on the airplane's
speed. An example is the "pick-
up" mechanism with which we
will be able to furnish mail and
express service without landing;
thus avoiding the landing time
losses at all points of service ex-
cept where passengers are to get
on or off the airplane. Every
navigational aid would be used
that would contribute to the re-
liability of the schedules. Instru-
ment flights, both day and night
would be routine with the quality
of flight supervision and plotting
skill equal to the best airline STAN
dards.
In feeder service the frequent
schedules can be set at exactly
the time of day people want to
make their trips. This /. conven-
fence cannot be provided if local
travel is served as an overflow
or by-product of a long-haul oper-
alton. In the past, it generally
has been necessary to separate the
two types of traffic in all forms
of transport.
In air transportation, too, a bet
ter service can be rendered by
providing a separate operation for
each type of traffic. The term
feeder airline service" presently
is being used to denote this new
type Of air service, especially
adapted for short-haul travel. The
quality of this service should be
