U. 5. Air Force Grew 79,OO0
 During Year

Since it's last birthday, the U. $. Air Force has grown from a total strength of 311,0OO officers and enlisted men and women to more than 390,00O, approximately 12O,- coo of whom are stationed over seas.
 The Air Force will celebrate it's first year of autonomy as a CO., equal of the Army and the Navy in the National Military Establish ment on Air Force Day, Saturday, September IS, 1948.
 During the last year, Congress raised the USAF's strength ceiling from 4Ol, ,OOO to 5O2,OOO and au- thorized the Air Force to accept up to 15,000 18-year-old volunteers for one-year terms of enlistment.
 Although the USAF can turn to selective service for draftees to maintain its strength, Secretary of the Air Force, w. Stuart Syming- ton told Congressional committees earlier this year that the air force was confident it could continue on an all-volunteer basis and did not foresee the use of conScripts to build up to its ultimate planned strength.
 The Air Force now gives first priority to high school graduates who can qualify for enlistment under the Aviation Career Plan and receive specialized technical training of their own choice. Mar ried men may enlist only if they are eligible to be accepted for service in the first three grades because of former military service or by possessing specialized skill.

Food for France Campaign
Grows After Author Dies

KANSAS CITY, MO. - A World
War II veterans one man campaign
for food for France grew though he
had died.
James M. Morgan, 25, who served
in France, recently had bought a
jeep at war surplus sale to speed
collection of donations for his per-
sonal plan for Europe. Morgan died
in a hospital of injuries suffered in
an accident involving his jeep and
another car.
Fellow members of Jimmy's
French club at University of Kan
sas City have decided to carry on
his program to fill a boXcar with
food for the French.
Originally Jimmy sent one H.
pound food package a month to a
French student. Then a grocer sug-
gested that he try to collect enough
food for boxcar. Jimmy became
enthusiastic about it and bought the
jeep to speed up the work.
''We feel as if we were working
for him (Jimmy) as much as for
French children" said Miss Billie
Mahoney, 19-year-old president of
the French club.

New Landing Gear for Heavy
Planes Is Being DeveIoped

WASHINGTON.-A new caterpil-
lar-type landing gear for planes is
being developed. 1t is retractable
and adaptable for heavy aircraft.
Such landing gear, the air
forces said, would solve many land
ing problems. The gear is a track
type similar to that on the COM
mon farm tractor or army tank. AL
ready, one track type landing gear
has been tested successfully on one
plane, but it was not retractable.
One track replaces each of the
conventional nose and tail wheels.
This permits plane to land on soft
dirt, sand or mud. In normal fight,
the gear under development would
retract into the wing and body as
conventional wheels do.

Stacks, Self Service
Spark Gas Stations
Novel Idea Catches On With a
Bang: Business Terrific.

HOLLYWOOD. - Motorists with
an eye both for thrift and for pretty
girls in tight slacks are lining up
in droves these days to fill their own
tanks.
A string of self-service gas sta
tions is the fastest tourist attraction
in East Los Angeles, South Gate
and Long Beach.
Gas is cheaper there than any,
where else in town. Prices range
from nickel less than the super
service stations get to a tenth of
a cent less than the Independents
charge.
That's one reason why these "fill-
'er-up-yoursef' lots are catching
on. The other reasons, wearing
slacks and sweaters, scooting
around on roller skates.
They're the cashiers" Five or
six gorgeous lasses who take your
money with be-dimpled smile and
whiz away for change.
That's all the help you get. Want
your tires checked? Windshield
cleaned? Radiator watered? Do it
yourself.
''It was a big gamble" the man.
ager, Hugh Lacy admitted.
''The gasoline business is the most
competitive in the state. That
"super-service" gimmick is how big |
stations drag in customers.
''We decided if self-service would |
work in food markets, it would work
in gas stations. Business has been
terrific"
