TRAVIS FIELD, Ca, July l6.
The enemy had better stay
away from this place because 1t
looks like the jet fighter pilots
of the District Air National
Guard could shoot anything
right out Of the sky.
AT the close Of this first week
OF aerial gunnery maneuvers for
the 18th Fighter -Interceptor
Wing. the pilots are piling up
impressive scores when it comes
to hitting the target, and the
results have evoked this praise
from Col. Willard w. Millikan
wing commander:
"The situation Is very good and
as the pilots continue their train
ing. it will get even better. Every
section is functioning smoothly;
everybody is right on top Of the
job. So far we have flown about

The pilots come from the

With one week Of the 14-day
summer maneuvers completed,
Mai. Gen. William H. Aben-

Col. Robert Cocklin, chief Of
stair. were high in their praise
of the officers and men who
have volunteered their time.
Best Encampment
Gen. Abendroth has termed
the encampment this year as the
best experienced by the Guard in
its history. He said his men are
already three days ahead Of the
schedule maintained last year. 3
While everything is going
smoothly here on the dunes. the
officers and men Of the Districts
National Guard are casting wor-
ried glances ia the direction Of
Washington. They fear the
Guards esprit de corps may be
injured by the proposed reserve
bill currently being considered on
Capitol Hill.
II the Senate-approved ver-
sion Of the reserve bill were to
go through, it would include the
Guard as one Of the outfits in
which reservists could be COM
PEELED to serve. This. the guards
men feel. would take away the
volunteer status the Guard now
enjoys.
It would place the officers and
|noncoms in q position where they
might have to deal with reluct-
amt personnel, who probably
would feel they were forced to
