Needs 300,000 Pilots For Air Force to Achieve Victory, Colonel Asserts MITCH EL FIELD, N. Y., April 14 (AP) Col. Eddie Rlckcn backer, American flying ace of the first World war, told the fighters at this air bae yester day that In his opinion "this war will last a minimum of five years, barring miracles, with a possibili ty of it lasting ten years." "And since no navy can func tion effectively without the su periority or control of the air, which also goes for the Innd forc es of the army," he said, "we will need at least 300,000 pilots to . achieve victory 100,000 as in structors and 200,000 combat pi lots, scattered over the four corn ers of the world." Col. Rickenbacker, who has just completed a 15,000-mile sur vey flight of all our air combat units, said that the men of the U. S. air force "are as full of fire and spirit today as were the min ute men of Concord" and added; "I can tell you without batting an eye that man for man, and plane for plane, Uncle Sam has the greatest aerial fighting ma chine In the world today. "As for equipment, there Is no thing superior anywhere under the skies to American Inventive genius, American engineers are the skllj of American workmen. Don't worry, you will be flying planes that are the last word In performance and armament.

If you have any doubts on that score Just turn your eyes to wherever American pilots and American made planes are doing their stuff In the theatres of war. . ' . There Is ample proof that there is every reason in the world for any of our enemies to develon an inferiority complex that Is if they live long enough to develop it.

Here we are In America standing before the world and saying that all men are created equal, which, by implication, means that we arc committed to the task of establishing a society of friends and brothers. In America we have to look out for each other's rights and in terests In the same manner as do members of a family. Per secution and injustice to any one or any group goes against our giain. It is un-American we say. That means that it does not belong among people who are looking at society as If It were a family, yet look at us! Look at the human family in the United States. Sixty million Anglo-Saxon members, fifteen million Teutonic mem bers, thirteen million negro members, ten million Irish i,iemlrs, nine million Slavic members, five million Italian members, four million Scandi navians, two million French members, one million (Finn, Lithuanian, Greek), one third of a million Indian members, one third of a million Filipino, Oriental and Mexican. This is our American family. How is it possible that men whoso ra cial and religious rivalries have led them In other lands to oppress each other. It is be cause we have In America that vital and profound convic;ion that in God's sight all men are created equal. Amen. tor of work; Lyman C. Palmer, Eugene, conductor of the council; C. I'.

Tax Increases To Combat Inflation Now Improbable WASHINGTON, April 15 (AP) The administration was re ported authoritatively today to have decided against asking for drastic new tax increases as a means of combatting Inflation. Attempts were under way to compose disagreements among high government officials over a broad new program envisioning the freezing of prices wages, pro fits and bonuses. Secretary of the Treasury .Mor genthau was represented by his ildes as believing the present 37.600,000,000 tax program was iuffleient, that voluntary purchas es of war bonds could be stepped up to $11,000,000,000 a year thus absorbing excess purchasing pow er, and that consumer merchan dise should be rationed. He was understood to be op posed to most of the plans fath ered by a groun led by Price Ad ministrator Leon Henderson and Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the federal reserve board, who reportedly favot- not only a much itlffer tax program but a simul taneous assault on all Important inflationary factors as well. This would mean freezing of nearly all ivages and prices, compulsory war jond purchases, profit limitations and general retail credit controls. Strong congressional opposition has developed against any new efforts to boost taxes and chair man George of the senate finance committee told reporters It was "highly questionable" whether congress would be willing to go beyond the present program. George's views were understood to be shared by chairman Dough on of the house ways and means committee. Nylon Substitute in Currency Undetected WASHINGTON, April 15 (AP) Got any nylon money?

Secret service agents doubt whether anything but a chemical analysis would show the differ ence between the new and the old. Sugar Marketing Put On Unlimited Basis WASHINGTON, April 15 (AP) President Roosevelt loday suspended import and domestic marketing quotas on sugar to per mit the unlimited marketing of sugar.
