There are nuoni behind the ever-in creasing; safety records which are being es- xaoufnea oy American airplanes, wiiiie tne automobile continue to compete with war ai a dispatcher of death, the skyways, where uy the planes tne average person stiu be lieves are a bit too dangerous, are becoming safer each year. It is unfortunate that an accident in the air commands blacker display in the press than one twice as bad on the highway. But it's more sensational It's a better story. There may be a diny fall, a cloud-rocking mid-air collision, an escape by parachute. Speeds are higher. Perhaps there is fire. An airplane crash is spectacular, thrilling. But records are proving the air will soon be as safe as the earth. One of the principal reasons for the good record above is the intensive ground school training given those learning to fly. While automobile drivers learn to keep machines on the road on some country road on a quiet Sunday afternoon or in the barnyard when me cows are out, tnen take the car down any main street without scientific instruc tion, young aviators GO TO SCHOOL be fore they are given licenses. Students participating in the Eugene ci vilian pilot training program attend classes five nights a week for nearly eight weeks. Each session lasts two hours and frequent tests by stern professors check their work. Safety is stressed more than any other single item in the ground school work. "This is the most important part of the study," the students are told before the professor starts hlslistof'don'ts." "Don't drink before or while you fly." ''Don't overload your airplane." "Don't bank he ship more than 70 degrees." "Don't fly low over populated areas." "Don't take ehancei In bad weather," the students were Jnitrueted, t They were given assignments to teach them the limits of airplane construction and the possibilities of the engine. It is impressed that plane will disintegrate in mid-air if they are allowed to slip backwards, for any great distant), because all bracing is install ed for torwtft flight. If the automobile ever ceases to be a ma jor killer, an important part of any educa tional program will have to deal with the Instruction of beginners. A driver who knows anything about the law of centrlfusal fW .will not take a curve at a high speed on an unbanked road. He should be taught the dan gers of driving with four in the driver's seat and of taking trips with liquor in the lap. Airplanes, when first Introduced, met with frequent disaster and scared the pub lic. For that reason it has been necessary to PROVE they are safe. Automobiles, on the other hand, were safe in their pioneer days because they couldn't go fast enough. Grad ually, as more powerful engines were per fected, as construction and fuel improve ments encouraged and developed speed mania among drivers, recklessness took its early tolls. The aviation industry is attempting to ESTABLISH safety records, while the au tomotive interests are yet half-heartedly hoping theirs will someday be RE-ESTABLISHED. They could well look to a "garage school" for an answer. W. H. more lionish in his defense. While the picture was being circulated over America, Londoners became curious, too. The original print was demanded of the photographer. Fingers were wetted, rubbed over n. inree 01 the airplanes and most of the smoke snewinfl from their shattered tails disappeared, it was a phoney. The censors, who had. word from London declares, unwittinaly nassed the oicture as genuine, were quick to explain and express apologies, mey realized that, in the future, propaganda photos would be discredited. even though genuine. The lesson for Americans is to refuse to believe war claims which have the least hint of being fake. The stuff being issued from all war capitals is largely unadulterated ex aggeration. Neither the British nor the Germans can be criticized for their supreme effort to state their respective cases to the neutrals nf the world. The English, with their spine nailed to wall, with their forces girded for a fight for survival, are desperate. Thev need 'to present their position as favorable as possible to maintain confidence, especially among Americans, one of their last hopes. The hazis. meanwhile, need successes of mounting mag nitude to keep the home folks peppv to un dertake final action which they've twen taught will give them space for a sun bath on oerman sou any time of the day or night. When in doubt, disbelieve. History, it must be hoped, will tell the truth 20 years after peace comes. W. H. - Now it's the combination plahe-auto j that s being developed. A parachute as well as roller skates will be standard equipment for the gals from now on. : New Hampshire man gets jail sentence on old state statute for tickling minor with out consent.

The ultra-patriot reminds us that fireworks are to celebrate freedom, not hinder it. the There are no vitamins in the razzberry but often there is a strong physical reaction. WASHINGTON LETTER FINGER-SMEARED PROPAGANDA Probably more embarrassed than the first youngster caught with jam prints after il legally visiting grandma's pantry is the Brit on who left his finger smears on a recent widely-published picture showing five nazi airplanes screaming to earth. "Five German planes falling in flames over English channel," read the censor-ap-proved caption from London. "One of the most dramatic pictures to come out of the war in Europe," American news services elaborated after it was flashed across the Atlantic. "It was made from an RAF plane high above five German raiders which were hot down," it was maintained. Many acquainted with dark-room tricks itudled the photograph, after the first breath-taking glimpse of the masterpiece nd expressed doubt so perfect and complete a picture could have been taken from the ghostly cliffs of British Dover. With proof lacking, however, the spectacular picture ru published on many page ones as ace evidence the British were really knocking down the Invading warbirds, formation at a time. Editors were eager to offer picture proof that Hitler's claims in the air were extravagant and that John Bull had become By JOHN KELLY PORTLAND Big Jim Farley has been busy over the long distance phone from New York buzz ing Oregon Democrati (not new dealers) as to their reaction on Willkie'a speech and asking their opinion on the lituaUon. Farley Is still a Demo crat, no one will run him out of the party. "I told Farley," reports a well known Demo crat, "that hla stand at the convention and hl resignation as national committee chairman was the right one. Today, I said and I mean it he is the greatest Democrat in America; that he typifies the best traditions of the party and for him to sit tifht and SOma dav hl fid.lifv tn nrinfinl.. u.lll ka generally recognized.

"As the situation in Oregon, I reported to Jim that It the election was held today the Willkie McNary ticket would carry the state. I gave my reasons and analysis. His reply to that I will not repeat My advice to him was to alt tight, take no active part in the campaign, but to stand on the" sidelines and observe what the little group that kicked him out of Mr. Roosevelt's favor can do. By this passive course, I told him, the blood will not be on his hands." An eavesdropper for this column heard another grade A Democrat talking to Farley say: "You're a better man than he is, Cunga Din," the obvious comparison being with the Mn In the White House. In the several conversations over the telephone held bv Farl.v with (V ...... ..wi. mivi ... .ii MIC three days In not one Instance, accoordlng to the Information received by this column, did the local Democrata make a prediction of party victory in November on the basis of current conditions. It so happened that the Oregonians contacted by genial Jim are all of the old-line persuasion who have feelings and views on party matters similar to his own. So far as recorded Farley spent no telephone tolls on officials holding Jobs In new government agencies nor on members ofthe Commonwealth federation which later organization Is a pain in the neck to the blown-in-the-bottle Democrats. All those public troughing Farley knows are for Mr. Roosevelt to hold their Jobs; Jim wants to know what his kind of Democrats are thinking. In the process of gathering information for a size-up of the Oregon situation there has been discovered what appear to be violations of the Hatch act by federal payrollees.
