pOsal was opposed by MATS, and
supported by ATC and the u. S..
Air Forces. The decision was re-
Gently reached when Secretary
FOrrestal, as of March 1, ordered a
consolidation of the two services
into new group to be called the
Military Air Transport Service.
MATS, once the intricate details of
effecting the consolidation are TAX
en- care of, will be commanded by
a USAF general.
The public interest in this is two
fold. The country must have mill
tary air transport which is capable
of doing whatever job it is given.
And it also wants a service which
will do the job at the lowest prac-
tical cost. Thus, it remains to be
seen whether MATS will be SUPER
ior to its two predecessors.
Here is where the record of the
Naval Air Transport Service be-
comes important From all avail
able evidence, it has done an ex-
ceptiOnal job, judged on the
grounds of performance, economy,
and safety. 1t is known that MATS
has prepared extremely exhaustive
statistical data covering every
phase of it's operation. AS in the
case of all military information,
much of thit is confidential and is
not available. However, it can be
summed up in general terms.
The MATS commands has work
ed on the principle that economy
is vital even in a military opera
ton, so long as it does not dimin-
ish efficiency. With a relatively
small strength in both aircraft and
personnel, it has moved an amaz-
ingly large total of freight and
passengers over routes on which il
operates regularly scheduled
flights across the Pacific, into the
Aleutians, within the Zone of the
Interior, to Africa, and into the
Caribbean area. It's load factor has
run around IS per cent-an ev-
ceptional level for any comparable
form Of air transport. It's cancel

lations have been low, even in the
Aleutian region where some of the
worst weather in the world pre-
walls. Most amazing of all has been
its safety record. Last year it few
just under 100000, 900 passenger
miles-and its passenger fatality
total was zero! This, of course, was
an unparalleled achievement.
Just what is responsible for. all
this involves a number of impon-
derables. First of all, it is evident
that a service which operated the
best part of 100000, 900 passenger
miles without losing a passenger
must have had some good luck as
we'll as good management. But the
good management must be there,
"a hours day and 365 days a year.
MATS supervisory, maintenance
and crew standards and practices
appear to be of the highest. While
most Of its planes are war left
overs and therefore approaching
obsolescence, it has taken an ag-
gressive interest in scientific devel-
opments which may advance both
performance of the mission and the
safety of operation. The biggest
thing in this field has been the
Ground Control Approach system.
whereby a plane is literally talked
home by operators who follow it's
path on electronie devices which
have an amazingly small margin
of error. GOA permits zero-zero
landings in an emergency, and
landings under very low visibility
conditions as routine matter-in

about an inch and half more
length in the bodice, and give
them about three and a half more
inches in the skirts of size 16 dres-

Miss Newton advises either long
jackets or Eton jackets for suits.
That in-between length in Tail-
leurs is bad. She also likes suits
with skirts o; contrasting cOlors-
the break chops the long sweep
from head to toe. Prints should be
large, splashy, but the design is
best when it has some connection
and is not spotty.
We are the ones who can get
away with arresting accessories.
They are for us, those large fiashy
clips, heavy big-stoned rings,
large pearls IN our chOker neck

effect, it can be compared to man
on the ground pulling in kite with
a string. AT.C also uses this meth
cd.
The achievements Of MATS are
certainly not to be construed as a
direct or oblique criticism Of any
other air service, military or COM
merciaI. They are simply an indi-
cation of the fact that a military
service can get its job even while
it keeps an exceedingly close eye
on costs, personnel efficiency, and
all other relevant operating in
formation. The obvious hope behind
the recent consolidation is that the
new consolidated service, MATS,
will be able to take the best from
past practices and experiences and
do even better.

hard time.
A. Little bitsy guys always adore
tail girls; great big gents think
tiny cuddly fVe-foOt-nOthing girls
are dream-boats. Dancing with

B. Manufacturers Of wOmen's

has even found some fine things

"The average woman Is short and

For some time there has been
controversy as to just what is the
most efficient and economical way
to operate air transportation for
the military services. During and
after the war, the Army took care
of its own needs with the Air
Transport Command, and the Navy
did the same thing with it's Naval
Air Transport Service. Both
MATS and ATC did outstanding
jobs-a fact which is we'll known
to the general public.
The controversy was based on
the theory that there was bound to
be an overlapping of facilities,
personnel and administrative Or
ganization so long as the two serv-
ices existed. One party to it went so
far as to suggest that the best sOlu-
ton would be to abandon scheduled
air transport by both the Army and
Navy, and turn the job over to COM
mercial airlines on a contractual
basis. This was strongly opposed
by both services. They are fully
aware of the important place com
mercial air transport has in the
national defense picture but, as
they pointed out, there is no COM
mercial business in many places to
which military cargo planes must
fly, the services must have absolu-
tely complete control over all their
cOmpOnents, a military TRANSPORT
line differs in many important re-
spects from strictly commercial
line, and so, lin their opinion, the
idea was simply not feasible.
The controversy then boiled
down to whether MATS and ATC
should be consolidated. This pro-

Things That Interest Women
By Bessie r. Bell

If sallow complexion is your
big trouble don't try to cover it
over with powder and tinted To-
tons. You most work from within,
since the sallow complication is US
ually due to some internal dis
turbances. This disturbance may
not be sufficient to cause i'll
health, but somewhere the diges-
tive tract is not functioning
properly.
A well known beauty specialist
i~nstructs her partons to take un-
sweetened lemonade with a dash
of salt before breakfast every
morning since it has a refreshing
effect upon the digestive organs.
1t washes them out, acts favor
ably to the liver and results in a
clear complexion.
Carrots are good for the sys-
tenn, yet they definitely give a
eyellow saffron appearance to the
skin when eaten in abundance.
1t is advisable to eat a green
salad once a day. Too eat various
vegetables TO rtheir contents of
vitamins and mineral salts and to
drink water freely. All of the
avenues of elimination, lungs,
skin, kidneys intestinal tract,
should function properly.
The diet should be light and
nutritious. All citrus fruits are
helpful.
Makeup must be very special.
Lipstick and rouge; they should
not be of a blue cast, some of
which, are burgundy tones and the
raspberry tints. Orange red makes
the skin look fairer.
Now about clothes: black is bet
ter than navy blue. Cream tones
near the face are more ~flattering
than dead white. Green, purple
and organe are on the blacklist.
Dark rich brown is all right.
Rusty browns with red tones are
taboo.
