By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 30.— Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, American flying ace of the first world war, today commended the Scripps-How-ard newspapers’ advocacy of continuous mass bombings of Germany and called this plan “the only way to open a second front.” He praised a series of articles on this subject by Thomas L, Stokes as “the most practical presentation of aerial warfare I have read.” “It’s what can and must be done if we intend to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of young American soldiers and billlons ol dollars worth of equipment,” he said, “because without that definite softening-up process of mass bombing a ground invasion would be ter.|ribly expensive.” But, he warned, America still does not have its sights set high enough in the matter of training pilots and mechanics necessary to do the job.
Wants 300,000 Pilots !
“We've got to think in terms of 300,000 pilots and 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 mechanics by the end of 1943,” Capt. Rickenbacker declared. “We can’t wait until next year to start it. Anything we've got now should be doubled—and doubled again, maybe quadrupled. When I say 300,000 pilots I mean pilots alone— not navigators, radio men and gunners. - : “Actually, you should have three crews for each plane—if you have 50,000 bombers, that is, you ought to have 150,000 crews. These crews probably would average about six men each, and that’s 900,000 men right there. Then there must be an average of at least 10 men on the ground for each plane flying.
Average 10 Hours Dally
“The equipment is so good today it should keep these three crews busy. But there must be proper organization, maintenance and servicing -behind the operation, so that every plane can be kept operating an average of at least 10 hours a day—able to go on missions six nights a week. “With proper organization you should be able to send 1000 planes over Germany nightly, and you must have an equal number in reserve. If you send 2000 over, there must be 2000 in reserve. Twelve hours should be sufficient to put 95 per cent of them back in shape. You take from the reserve pool to replace planes lost and those which have difficulties.” Capt. Rickenbacker pointed out that Eastern Air Lines, of which he is president, has heen getting 12 hours a day out of each plane in its commercial fleet since June 1 by highly efficient maintenance— “having mechanics and replacement parts in the right place at the right time.”
BLOND SAYS AROFF SOLICITED PRESENTS
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30 (U. P.). —Lieut. Comm. Maurice N. Aroff solicited gifts from two young men for whom he had obtained naval commissions, a witness testified at Aroff’s general. court-martial which was continuing today. Patricia Eileen Bouchard, blond student at Stanford university, said Aroff had suggested to one newly commissioned ensign that he give him a set of gold cuff links, and to another, that a white gold identification wristlet would be acceptable. Aroff is charged with having accepted the cuff links, as well as a $950 automobile from Actor Tony Martin, in violation of naval regulations forbidding gifts from one officer to another of higher rank. Miss Bouchard’s ensigns were Irving Cummings Jr., son of a Hollywood film director, and Michael Levee Jr. Los Angeles, a former Stanford student,
DAWSON SEES HOME RULE THREATENED
NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. July 30 (U. P.).—American civil rights, endangered by axis powers, also are threatened by encroachment of the federal government on state and local governing units, Lieut. Gov. Charles M. Dawson told members of the Fifth District Township Trustees’ association yesterday. He said there appeared to be a “danger from within as the federal government encroaches upon the rights, duties and prerogatives of state and local governments.” He believes encroachment started several decades ago when federal money grants were made to state governments.

BLY SCANNED BY DAVIS’ OFFICE
Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 30.—Elmer Davis’ office of war -information is making a thorough survey of the government’s tremendous publicity output, not only at the source but on the “receiving end.” Six newspapers in each of the 48 states were asked to save all government publicity material received for one week and turn it over to the OWI. A The material has been assembled and is bei analyzed by a committee of five government public-relations men appointed by Mr. Davis. Some of it, one of Mr. Davis’ assistants said today, “is just a little incredible.” OWI, it was learned, is considering several possible methods of slashing publicity volume. ~~ suggestion calls for the ra- * of paper to government deits.

SEs CLAIMS SPIES IN NAZI UNIFORMS
[fated Tov th sou, unk and the world Biddle Says They Intended To Seek ‘Prisoners of War’
old Carter's Little Status if Caught.
EN odny. Take 88 directed. WASHINGTON, July 30 (U. P.). —Attorney General Francis Biddle told the U. S. supreme court today that eight Nazi saboteurs who landed in tihs country by U-boat wore fatigue clothes of the German army with a view to claiming “a, status as prisoners of war’ if caught. Seven of the Nazis are attempting to have their trial—in which the government asks death—transferred from a special military commission created by President Roosevelt to civil courts. |. Opposing efforts of defense counsel to obtain writs of habeas corpus, Mr. Biddle said: “They were trained in a German military school. They came here in fatigue clothes of the German army—in which they could have been shot to prevent their landing. Sought to Evade Execution “They did that for the specific purpose of claiming, if caught, a status as prisoners of war, with certain rights.” | As prisoners of war the Nazis could not be executed. Mr. Biddle added, however, that the Nazis were not wearing fatigue clothes at the time of their capture. The supreme court hearing, started yesterday, constituted in effect a test of the president’s war powers, invoked when Mr. Roosevelt proclaimed that the Nazis would be denied access to civil courts.
FATHER OF 10 TOLD T0 PROVIDE HOME
Sheriff Feeney. told a 42-year-old father of 10 children that his family would be returned to him when he found suitable living quarters.

He said they had lived on Haugh st. until a month ago, but the house was condemned and they were forced to move. They went to a camp near Martinsville where they lived in the open until Saturday. Eight of the children were taken to the Board of Children’s Guardian home and the rest to the home of friends.
