Bill Hearings
End in Senate
Witnesses Back Plan
For Schools, Corning
Reiterotes Opposition

A Senate District subcommittee
today completed hearings on the
Kefauver bill to permit flight
training for seniors in District
public high schools.
Chairman Margaret Chase Smith
Republican, of Maine said the
subcommittee on Public Health,
Education, Recreation and Welfare
had heard sufficient testimony pro
and con and predicted an early
recommendation by her group.
More than half dozen witnesses
testified in favor of the bill, spon-
sored by Senator Kefauver, DEM
ocrat, Of Tennessee, but Supt. of
Schools Hobart M. Corning reit-
Grated the Board of Education S
opposition to the measure. DR..
Corning told the subcommittee it
has been amply demonstrated that
there are other means outside the
public high schools for training
high school students in the air
They already have the option of
taking pre-flight and other class
room work in aeronautics.
CAP Training Available.
Col Melvin E. Tyrrell, District
Wing commander of the, Civil Air
Patrol. said the CAP could provide
air flight training to District high
school students without cost to the
city government. 1t was explained
that this training could be pro-
vided if the students enlisted as
cadets in the CAP within the age
limits of IA to 18 years.
Maj. Gen. Lucas v. Beau. ma
tional commander Of the CAP,
told the subcommittee 80 States
already provide flight training for
high school students and told how
the proposed District school pro-
gram would work in cola aborat ton
with the CAP.
One meeting is held each week
for boys and girls between the
ages of IA and Is years for pilot
training under the CAP setup.
The students would be required to
enlist. however, he added.
Insurance Held No Bar.
Donald Webster. president Of
the Washington Air Derby AS
sociation. said insurance need not
be a cost to the District school
system. He suggested that flights
be restricted to airplanes already
covered by insurance-as he said
all acceptable planes and operat-
ors are.
The CAP. Mr.. Webster declared.
has insurance on every plane it
uses.
Support of the .Kefauver bill
also was voiced by the following
witnesses:
Howard w. Sinclair, chief of
aviation education for the Civil
Aeronautics Authority; Col. Nor
man B. Ames. professor of engi-
neering of George Washington
University; 1t. Larry H. Farnham.

was a graduate Of the Districts
first high school aviation course

Of Sanders Aviation, Inc: Mrs.
Blanche Noyes. national president
OF the Nlnety-nines. women pilots
organization, who has been flying

Battle 10 Renew
Attack on Miller
In Talk Tonight
Governor Candidate
Invodes Arlington for
Campaign Speech
By John V. Horner

State Senator John S. BattlSIi
invaded Arlington today with aE,
slashing frontal assault on Francis
P. Miller, one of two principal
opponents in the seething Demo-
cratic primary contest for Cow
ernor.
Encouraged by the acclaim he
received yesterday from Demo-
cratic organization regulars in the
1st District. Senator Battle prom
ised a relentless attack on his
Albemarle County neighbor, who
charged that Virginia is run by
the most ruthless machine out
side the Kremlin."
Mr.. Battle is backed by the
State Democratic organization Of
which Senator Byrd is the leader.
Mr.. Miller is sponsored by anti.
organization elements under Mar
tin A. Hutchinson and Delegate
Robert Whitehead. Both camps
regard the big fight for the nomi-
nation as between them and are
inclined to count out two other
aSpirants
The latter are Horace Edwards
of Richmond, former chairman Of
the State Democratic Party, and
Remmie L. Arnold, a Petersburg
manufacturer. Mr.. Edwards sup
porters insist. however. that he is,l
in the thick of three-way contest.
Two Senators to Speak.
In Arlington, Senator Battle
will speak at reception at $50
o'clock tonight at the home Of
Harry K. Green. commissioner Of
revenue, and stanch organization
supporter.
The Battle campaign has been
building up fast since Senator
Byrd gave him public Endorsement
10 days ago and focused attention
on the differences between the
Battle and Miller PHILOSOPHERS.
The organization tagged Mr.. Mil
Ter as the hope of labor czars"
outside Virginia.
Mr.. Miller rejected this. He has
made frequent references to the
machine" asserting that Senator
Byrd is debating it's actions from
Washington as absentee land
lord" He charged that since Sem
ator Byrd has been the organiza-
ton leader. Virginia Governors
have been subservient to his or
ders.
While Senator Battle and other
members of the organization have
denied this charge. not until yesA
terday did the candidate roll up
his sleeves and denounce Mr.. Mil
Ter in contemptuous words.
+ Mr.. Miller's campaign is cer-
tainly the most remarkable in my
memory" he asserted during
crab feast near Gloucester Court
house.
1T is based entirely upon abuse.
vituperation and criticism Of the
government of Virginia. the State
we all love.
Speaks on Radio.
Later on a radio speech at
Newport News. Senator Battle
said that as far back as February.
Joseph D. keenan,. director of the
Labor League for Political Edu-
cation. addressed a letter fren1
his Washington Office to all or
ganizations affiliated with the
Virginia Federation Of Labor. The
letter was represented as calling
on labor to fight restrictive labor
laws by the best means available
political action.
After that, Senator Battle went
on, in April. j. S. Smith. chairman
of the Virginia Labor League for
Political Education, called on all
VFL locals to have their member
ship contribute Is cents to fight
for the election of friendly candi-
dates.

Already q raee seems TO be

One fear is that Russia will

possible moment.
II Russia woos Red China
and wins, the answer from the
non Communist world may be
a Pacific pact. Whether It
would work without A gigantic

questions that remain unan-

In many quarters that China
needs so much help that Russia

Unsettled Questions q
Gradually. the American an
swer has begun to emerge.
America is not yet ready to
form a Pacific pact. Secretary
of State Acheson said recently.
Why not? The most specific
answer he gave was to quote
India's Prime Minister Java
harlal Nehru. who had just
pointed out tAat q lot OF IN
ternal questions in Asia must
be settled before a Pacific pact
will work.
For instance. who would join
such q pact for Indonesia--
the Dutch or the Indonesians?
Who would answer for Indo-
China-the French or the Wet
Nam nationalists they have
been fighting for three years?
Those are Just two OF the
unsettled questions in Asia.
They are fairly typical, how
ever. because the big thing
about Asia today Is the ma
tionalism Of its people, and the
big reason they are so national
istic Is that they are deter
mined above everything else to
throw of anything that re-
sembles colonial control or ex-
ploitation.
This concerns America, too.

The gloom that has pervaded
the Agriculture Department over

proportions-is beginning to

how to avoid any more than the
customary harvest loss out OF q

and how to get that big crop
under cover without loss to the

complaints from growers in the
Southwest that they were being
forced to sell their wheat to spec

Ever since the Atlantic Pact
was announced there has been
vague but persistent talk OF a
Pacific Pact.
This talk has increased as
China has fallen more and
more into Communist hands.
Such q pact would be erected
to stop communism in Asia.
Just as the Atlantic Pact was
designed to stop its spread in
Europe.

Mission for Molotov
In this determination to win
freedom and change, Asia's

turned to communism. The
red star that has risen In the
most populous nation on earth
casts a new light on the world
map. Because Of it, world
powers are readjusting their
policies. A Pacific Pact might
be part of that readjustment.
Russia repeatedly has as
