RELEASE OF MEN FOR READY RESERVE

RELEASE OF MEN FOR READY RESERVE Washington (AFPS) )--Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson has announced that plans are under consi iteration to adopt a provision of the 1855 Reserve Forces Act, which permits the separation of servlcemen up to one year early if they agree to participate in a ready reserve training unit under the enforceable provisions of the legi station. The plan is now under study in the office of Carter L. Burgess, assistant defense secretary for manpoWer, person. nel and reserve.
 It would affect personnel who entered the service before Aug. 9, 1855, the date the reserve act became law. Those who entered the service after that date have an obligation to partic icipate in ready reserve training program. Servicemen who were drafted or joined the armed forces before that time have ready reserve obligation, but are not required to participate in training sessions.
 At a press conference here, llr. Burgess said he thought the proposal, if adopt- ed, would affect men who had completed Is months service.
 This would mean that man who was drafted into the service before Aug. 3, 1855, could reduce his active duty time to l8 months if he agreed to serve for two and one-half years in ready re- serve training unit. By agreeing to this he would be required to attend week. ly training sessions with his unit and to spend E days yearly at a sumner training camp.

BARKING SYSTEM ON JETS

brAhING O1SIEIl ON JEIO Baltimore (AFPS )--The Air Force has an- nounced an experimental unit that slows sdown a jet aircraft with the same thrust that normally pushes it forward. The announcement by the Air Research and Development Command here said the device diverts the hot gases blasted out of the jet's tail pipe, and turns them forward in the direction of the planets flight. In this Way, the jets own power serves as powerful brake.
 Reversible propellers slow conventional aircraft, allowing them to land at safe speeds and come to stop on short run- ways.
 In many cases, jets have to use para chutes from their tails to come to a safe stop.
 The AZ said there are several advantages in euuipping planes wi tn the thrust-re- verse device.
 It would enable jets to slow down while in flight to engage slower enemy planes. Jets could also make slower appr aches te landing fields, and still come down at a sleeper angle if equipped with the de- vice.
 Once on the ground, the thrust-reverse unit could end the plane's roll quickly, without reliance on friction brakes or parachutes.
 The unit was designed built by the Wrig gh7 Air Development Center at Nright-Patter- son Air Force Base, Ohio. It has been tested on an F-84F jet fighter, which is powered by Curtiss- -Wri ght J-o5 turbo- jet engine.

Color Has Such Winning Woys

Sometimes we think the Eng
ish language is most revealing.
For example, take a phrase like
'uncolored by emotion" or "the
facts in black and white The in
ference in both expressions is
that color has such winning ways
1t can easily sway judgment in its
favor.
Well, that's doubtless true
certainly when it comes to pic
ture-taking, anyway Haven't you
noticed how color pictures bring
back colorfll moments and scenes
with almost unbelievable real
ism? Color serves as flag to
memory +. helps you remember
every vital detail Of a time and
place.
That's why we feel color film
can be such a sound investment
for picture-takers--so something not
to be relegated only to special
occasions, but to be used regular
ly and often for the extra divi-
dend Of pleasure it can bring you
in all your picture-taking. No
