WHY NOT A "GARAGE SCHOOL?"
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

as roller skates will be standard equipment
for the gals from now on.

Probably more embarrassed than the first

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

breath-taking glimpse of the masterpiece

ghostly cliffs of British Dover. With proof

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

because of his services to Mr. Roosevelt he had
enabled thousands of radicala and left-wingers
to be rescued from obscurity to occupy places of
power In the administration.
"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.

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. There are also
whisperings of large sums to be poured Into Ore
