said.
I'VE want to reduce to prac-
teal minimum the lag that exists
between advances in our society
and the teaching of these advances

expect to train pilots in our public

MILITARY TALKS ARE SCHEDULED
 IN WASHINGTON
Western European Coun- tries Will Discuss New
 Defense Policies

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Repre- sentatives of Western European countries soon will begin military talks with United States defense chiefs. These talks probably will be held in Washington and they will open new phase in the development of American policy toward Europe.
 Officials say the talks-in a sense will be based on the Senate-ap- proved resolution drafted by Chair man Vandenberg of the Foreign Re lations Committee. This resolution puts the Senate on record as favor ing American support of regional defense alliances where they serve the security interests of the United States.
 One such regional alliance is the still developing Western European Union of Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
