Air Force Trainees j May Quit Program Minimum Hitch Up < Jhree To Five Years WASHINGTON iff — The Air ’ Force conceded today that almost half the young men now begin- 1 ning pilot training may drbp out 1 of flying programs as a result of ' an increase in the minimum 1 “hitch” from three to five years. Training officers said “brutal 1 economic facts” made the in- 1 creased term of service unavoid- ’ able. ‘ They said they have an ample 1 backlog of new men willing to ’ serve five years as pilots and losses will be more than offset by ’ gains. Training officers said the Air t Force cannot afford to spend its I present average of $158,000 per - (

man to train pilots and let them go after only three years’ service. It takes about two years to get a flier fully trained and operating in a combat unit. The Air Force announced Aug. 13 that from now on all aviation cudcts, prospective pilots at the Air Force Academy and graduates of the ‘‘ Reserve Officers’ Training Corps must sign up for five-year tours if they want to be pilots. If they insist on the minimum three-year hitches for voluntary enlistees, they will get only non-flying duties. A sample survey, officials said, indicated about 52 per cent of trainees already in flying courses will accept five-year tours. The others will give up flying careers for Air Force ground jobs so they may quit after three years. The new Ruling applies to trainees in pre-flight school and in primary flying courses but not to men who have already reached basic flight training. George Tricker Hurt In Fall At Home George J. Tricker, of 1234 W. Madison street, is recuperating today from a 10-foot fall onto cement steps, which happened Monday at his home. Tricker suffered a broken right wrist, and severe bruises of the right side. Tricker was painting the white trimming around the windows when the ladder on which he was standing broke, and he fell about 10 set onto cement steps, landing on his right side. His wife feared that he had a broken leg and shoulder, and ‘rushed him to the

Monday and was charged with at- ! tempted murder in the bungled at- ' tempt to assassinate former rackets czar Frank Costello. ’ Vincent (The Chin) Gigante, 29, 1 a small - time gambler with a t 12 - year criminal record, was 1 booked late Monday night, 10 hours after he walked into the West 54th Street police station with his lawyer and casually surrendered. Gigante, married and a father of four, had been sought since shortly after May 2, the day a j lone gunman ambushed Costello as . he entered the lobby of his apart2 ment building and fired one shot, which creased the scalp of the , 66-year-old underworld figure. Costello and five other persons were confronted with Gigante Mon- ' day, but police would not say ' whether he had been identified as ’ the pot-bellied, waddling gunman. 1 Significantly, however, they said : Costello had been "very coopera--1 tive” during a brief questioning 1 period. Heretofore.' Costello has ! been reluctant to discuss the attempt on his life. He has said he had no idea who the gunman was or what the motive was behind the shooting. Five days after the assassination attempt Costello received a 30-day jail sentence for refusing to answer questions of a grand jury investigating the shooting. Gigante. who described himself as a laborer, was regarded as a key suspect in the shooting because his description answer that of the gunman who came within an inch of killing Costello. I Authorities refused to identify the others brought to the police station and questioned Monday in connection with the shooting. • Police have theorized that the gunman may have been hired by rival gambling interests or by a gang seeking to depose Costello as the nation's reputed rackets king. But the veteran gambler has ini sisted he is retired and has no enemies. More farmers lose their lives from accidents during haying than during the harvesting of any other crop. “■ II It W ■Rst * RKW * .77 I . lte&- -J A Healthy Baby Is A Happy Baby!

Armed Forces Test Asiatic Flu Vaccine Testing Volunteers With Double Shots WASHINGTON (UP) — The armed forces, aiming at holding the nation’s defenses intact during an expected Oriental flu epidemic this winter, are testing volunteers to see if key personnel will need a double vaccine shot to guarantee immunity. The Public Health Service so far has recommended only one shot for all civilians, but is studying 4 whether two are needed. Drug manufacturers are rushing mates there will be an average of to supply vaccine. The PHS estimates there will be an average of less than one shot for every two civilians in the United States available by mid-winter. An Army spokesman said a one shot dosage of one cubic centimeter of vaccine will mean only about 70 per cent will be immunized. The armed forces, in their experiment, are trying to determine if this 30 per cent non-immu-nization gap can be narrowed by extra shots. Surgeon General Leroy Burney warned Monday night the flu could strike 10 to 20 per cent of the population—up to 34 million Americans—in an explosive outbreak. If the disease hits the West Coast, he said it could sweep to the East Coast in four to six weeks and have a crippling effect on the nation. Burney said there could be a “terrific” impact if 20 per cent of Washingeon were laid low with flu and 200.000 workers were taken out of vital government services. This surgeon general said that it would be “very wise for all people to have inoculations, including those in key government positions,” The highly - contagious disease, already reported to be well-seeded throughout the country, is a mild influenza lasting from four to five days, Burney said. It is characterized by a sore throat, fever, cough and muscle ache and is followed by a weakened condition lasting four or five days. HOFFA (Cwtlaae* from P»Ke One) racketeer Johnny Dio into the union to help set up seven bogus locals in a move to give Hoffa control of all Teamsters in New York City. Fast Brushes With Law When he went before the senators at the outset of today's session, Hoffa- said he would testify to the best of his recollettittn ‘ but reserved the right not to answer questions he considered outside the committee’s authority to ask. 24But he did not object to early questions about past brushes with the law. He said he had been “picked up” about 17 times but convicted only three times. On one occasion, he said, he returned more than $7,500 he had been accused to extorting from grocers and butchers. He did so after the charge was reduced "to a simple misdemeanor,” he said. Hoffa testified that James Wrape, a St. Louis attorney for the trucking company which rented Mrs. Hoffa's trucks, became the first president of Test Fleet. An i accountant for the trucking company, Commercial Carriers, be- ; came its accountant, Hoffa said. When Test Fleet borrowed $50,000 to start its operations, he said, Commercial Carriers President ■■ Bert Beveridge told the bank that i the loan was “a good investment.” Questioned by Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy. Hoffa said he could not recall whether the bank which lent the money was a St. Louis bank. IKE (Cnnilnnrd from Pms* Oae) | needed for the security of this country and its free world allies.

New Owners Plan , For Re-opening Os Style Shop In City The Style Shop, located at 139 West Madison strpet, will be reopened in September, according to an announcement made today by Mrs. Leo Teeple and Mrs. Andrew Miller, the new proprietors. The ladies' dress shop whs formerly owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Goldner, who recently closed the shop because of ill health. The new owners are now in the process of completely re-deeorat-ing "Decatur’s only downstairs dress shop," and are making plans to attend the annual style exhibitors* convention to be held at the Morrison hotel in Chicago, the week of September 7-13. Here they plan to order the bulk of their completely new fall merchandise which their store will handle. The new management will continue to stock many of the same lines carried by the Goldners, but many new lines will be included. Featured will be juniors, misses and half sizes, including all types of outer apparel, lingerie, hosiery and millinery. Exact date for the grand open-' ing of the store, which will continue to be known as the Style Shop, will be announced in the near future. AUDIT (Coßtlaned from Pnge One) Holovachka did not identify the attorney who represented Chapman in returning the union leader's profits. Holovachka said he will turn the money over to the state Friday. Chapman and two union colleagues. including international president Maurice A. Hutcheson, ignored grand jury subpenas to testify Monday. Holovachka said the attorney explained that Chapman paid $23,000 of his own money for the property, which he sold to the state for $101,416. He said the money Chapman returned represented the entire profit from the deal, one of several questionable deals in at least four Indiana counties in which middlemen received lush windfalls. Chapman was the second person to return right-of-way land profits to the state. Robert Peak, a Milan attorney, returned about $22,500 when the highway scandal I stories broke last April. Peak la-1 ter was indicted by a Manion County grand jury.
