INDIANA PLAYS VITAL ROLE IN

PILOT TRAINING §

CAA Program to Turn Out 1200 a Year; Mechanic Problem Being Met.

More than a score of Hoosier civilian and military agencies have plunged into the task of recruiting and training Indiana’s share of the nation’s defense pilots. And Indiana youth, responding eagerly to the President's call for thousands of new fliers to pilot the proposed huge air armada, are in schools throughout the state, and in Army and Navy training centers over the nation, learning to fly. Spearhead of the pilot expansion program is the “civilian” pilot training program in Hoosier colleges and universities financed by Uncle Sam through the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Instructors and equipment are provided in most cases by private flying schools.

11 in Indiana Train 250 This week, 11 such Indiana launched an intensified three-month course for more than 250 students, about half the number who sought to take part. Quotas have been increased and may be again. These young men will take up advanced flight training when they finish their present studies, and then will advance to the U. S. Air Corps for the “finishing touches.” Thursday, 15 Hoosier youths will enlist directly in the Government's expanding air force and will be sent to private primary flying schools throughout the country until they are ready to enter Randolph Field, Tex., “The West Point of the Air.”

1200 Hoosiers a Year

Under the present “civilian” pilot program, Indiana will turn out approximately 1200 pilots a year, 300 every three months. .This does not include Navy and Army flying cadets. This expanding project does not include the young men who are learning to be mechanics under sponsorship of public schools, notably in Indianapolis. The mechanics are an indispensable adjunct to any air power. In the United States the supply is reported alarmingly inadequate. Indiana’s pilot program may be shown best through an outline of the participating agencies. ; 1. Civil Aeronautics Authority sponsored college training program. This project is functioning in 11 Hoosier colleges and is frankly a military program. The trainees are committed to continue training under the Army and to join the Air Corps when instruction completed.

290 Graduates in Fall -

More than 290 trainees will be graduated from primary training Sept. 15. Purdue University’s quota of 105 prospective pilots is largest in Indiana. Butler University’s quota is 45. Other schools participating are Anderson Junior College, Ball State Teachers, Evansville College, Gary Junior College, Indiana State Teachers College, Indiana Technical, Rose Polytechnic, Tri-State Teachers and Valparaiso University. Some of the schools, like Purdue, have their own instructional staff and equipment, but the majority are using private flying schools. Butler University trainees are being taught by the Tarkington Aviation Co. at the Municipal Airport. 2. The Civilian Aviation Committee, composed of aviation, civic and

business leaders, acting as a clear-|: ing house for information on, the |:

CITED BY INSTITUTE

* WASHINGTON, Juhe 18" (U. P). —The Brookings Instituion reported yesterday that full import of the vast growth of governmental powers and responsibilties in recent years has not been realized because the development has taken place in

such piece-meal | fashion. | The statement was contained in a report on a study,.conducted by nine

institution experts, of the relation of government to economic life. “In the nature of the: case,” the Institution said, “expansion of the role of government has not come up as a broad issue to be judged as such, but.as a series of separate, individual questions. As a result, there has been a development of governmental functions which might not have been approved in its entirety had it been presented as a general program.” ; : ; According to medical authorities, women are healthier than men. For every man who reaches the age of 100, eight women attain’ that age.

RECRUITING POSTER ° FROM 1918 REVIVED
