amount of conservation work for
which payment can be made is
limited by the size of the ALLEGATION

the system which requires each
operator to indicate his intentions

ones, based upon recommendations

Moy.1 Is DeodIine
To File Form Plans

May / will be the last day Lin
coin County farmers and ranchers
can sign up to participate in the
1947 agricultural conservation pro-
gram. Charles L. Bump, chairman
of the county AGA committee, said
today. Many operators have al
ready filed their 1947 Farm Plans
at the county office but there are
a number who may be disappointed
later because they didn't file plans
before the deadline.
Practices completed for payment
under the conservation program
must be approved before they are
carried out which is an important
reason the county committee would
like to complete all sign-ups as soon
as possible. Program funds will not
be available to help defray the
cost OF practices farmers and ranch
ers perform unless prior approval
for the practices is secured from
the AGA committee.
Practices which qualify for assis-

All Navy Planes 10 Use
ATC's Flight Service
Beginning February |
By John A. Giles

Use OF the Air Force Air Trans
port Commands Nationwide flight
service by all Navy planes flying
within the continental United
States, estimated to bring about an
eventual saving of 100000 an
nually to the taxpayers, will begin
February l, 1t was learned yester-
day.
The Navy has been using the
airways system of the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, which has
been oyercrowded by the demands
Of expanded commercial aviation.
The temporary shortage of tele-
phone lines in several sections of
the country has delayed the i'm
mediate sharing Of the ATC facil-
tiles. Studies on the subject have
been under way for several months,
however, and the Navy has assigned
several liaison officers to the ATC
to work out details.
New Move to Effect Savings.
This will be one of the first in
stances where actual savings will
have been accomplished following
unification fthe armed services
Discussions to include Navy planes
in the service, however, were under
way even before the act was finally
passed.
Another move to accomplish saw
ings was seen yesterday in an an
nouncement by Secretary of Defense
Forrestal that the Army. Navy and
Air Force secretaries. working
through the Munitions Board, had
taken further positive steps toward
achievement of co-ordinated pro-
curement The Munitions Board
already had made a number of
moves in this direction even before
passage of the unification act.
The latest announcement made
no specific predictions as to savings
but did divulge that in the purchase
of 5000 900 worth of coal by the
Navy for all three services, savings
Of 100000 in purchasing, admins
trative and clerical personnel would
be realized in one year.
In Operation a Year.
The fight service of the ATC has
been in operation for almost a year
on the reduced scale needed for
peacetime requirements. Capt. N.
E. Powell is commanding officer. AL
though it has been physically di-
vorced from the CAA control sta
tions, it continues to depend on the
CAA for the primary factors bear
ing on flying safety.
Flight service has centers at Nc
Cord Field, Seattle; Riverside Field
Los Angeles: Hamilton Field, San
Francisco; Fort Worth Army Air
Field; Maxwell Field, Montgomery
Ala; Wright Field. Dayton, Ohio;
McDiu Field, Tampa, Fla; Ohm
stead Field, Middletown, Pa, and
Lowry Field, Denver.
The principal function of the
service, once the fight plan has
been checked and approved, is tc
furnish advisory messages to the
pilot in the air and to respond to
his inquiries for information ano
assistance If he is more than an
hour overdue, the fight service
starts to search for him.
