RICHARD WEBB FIRST SOLOIST OF YEAR

To Richard Webb goes the cov- eted honor of being the first stu dent of the year from Rainbow Skyways, to make his first solo flight. On Monday, June Is Pearl Bragg, his instructress, stepped out of the plane and told him he was on his own, much to Richards surprise.
 He made two very successful landings, but word has it that he is still in the clouds, so to speak. When Dick gets down to earth, he is branch manager for Wien Air lines.
 Several other students are anx- iously awaiting their chance to make their first solo flight, and we hope it won't be long.

Salvage Committee
To Disband, but Work
Will Be Continued

Salvage duties of the District Sal
wage Committee will be discontinued
at the end of this month, James E
Collif1ower, committee chairman
said today. The termination is In
line with the War Production
Boards decision to discontinue Gov
ernment sponsorship of the pro-
gram.
The end of the committees work
means that the city-wide monthly
area collections of waste paper will
discontinue except in such cases
where the area salvage committees
remain in operation in answer to
the Governments request for con-
tinued committee cooperation.
Shortages Stay Critical.
This does not mean that the sal
wage of waste paper, tin cans and
used kitchen fats should discontinue
entirely" Mr.. Collif1ower said
There is still critical shortage OF
those materials which will take
many months to overcome, and ]
urge every citizen to continue sal
taging waste paper, tin cans and
used kitchen fats as long as neces-
sary"
From now on, it was explained
the question of continuing salvage
operations will be in the hands Of
the area committees, of which there
were 64 throughout Washington
Some of these committees are eX-
pected to carry on. Area residents
will be notified of monthly collec-
ton days.

British Bid for Aid
From j. ). Virtually
Without Cost Seen
2y the Associated Eress.


Britain is expected to try next
week to obtain United States help
for her reconversion to peace vir-
tually free of cost.
The British argument will be
based on the contention that kind
of postwar lease-lend arrangement
would be fully justified by the sacri
fees which the British made in the
war.
Anglo American economic talks
will open Monday Lord Keynes,
noted economist and an adviser to
the British treasury, arrived yester-
day to take part in the conference.
British Ambassador Lord Halifax
who left England by plane today, is
due tomorrow. He will be the other
principal British representative on
the economic mission.
Agree on One Point
Advance indications are that the
British and American officials will
start from widely separated bar
gaining positions but with common
agreement on one basic point: 1t
is in the long range interest of the
United States to help Britain get
back into peacetime industry and
trade as soon as possible.
Some American officials with an
eye to postwar markets in the United
Kingdom. say that such a reconver-
sion in Britain would be a great
help to business expansion and the
creation of jobs in this country.
What United States representa-
tives want out of the British in the
talks beginning Monday is fairly
clear.
They want commitments that the
British will modify or do away with
various practices which tend to pro-
mote the growth of commerce solely
within the British Empire and those
areas of the world financially de-
pendent upon 1t.
Reluctant to Ask Loan.
They contend the main objective
should be to liberaliZe trade among
all countries.
At the same time. United States
officials say this country must ex-
tend considerable financial help to
the British. The tendency in Wash
ington has been to talk of this in
terms of a loan, which would have
to be approved specially by Congress.
The British, on the other hand,
are reported very reluctant to talk
about a loan. They say they already
have enormous debts, that their re-
sources have been reduced greatly
by the war and that to take on new
obligations now would be impracti-
cal, If not impossible.
