SURPLUS PLANES FOR COLLEGES
What to do with our surplus warplanes
In peacetime is a question that has been
bothering a lot of people ever since our air
craft industry achieved its undreamed-of
production heights. It has seemed that the
mighty fleet of airplanes which has done
so much to make victory certain might turn
into a large herd of white elephants once
that victory was won.
But Ernest R. Breech, president of the
Bendix Aircraft Corp., has come along with
a plan that promises to achieve at least
a partial solution of the problem and at
the same time render this country a valu
able service.
Mr. Breech suggests that the govern
ment, under the new Surplus Law, sell or
lease these craft to colleges and universit
ies which now give aeronautical courses or
which plan to institute them after the war.
His suggestion was preceded by a survey
of schools, and the result assured him that
there would be considerable academic in
terest in the used warplane market.
Only 455 out of 1200 colleges and uni
versities polled answered the questionnaire.
But 212. of these were found to be giving
courses in aeronautics already, and 95 more
include such courses in their postwar plans.
What is more, 76 schools reported that they
now have adequate facilities for a perma
nent program, and 160 others have some,
equipment.
Mr. Breech's plan apparently has the ap
proval of the whole industry, and its ad
vantages are numerous. In the field of
national defense, collegiate aviation instruc
tion could be included in ROTC training,
with requirements high enough to turn out
pilots, navigators and mechanics of mili
tary standard.
Such instruction would also help to
guarantee our continued leadership in world
aviation. The end of the war, which will
find us the world's greatest air power, will
also signal a great expansion of commercial
aviation throughout the world, and of fly
ing in general. If we wish to maintain our
leadership, we must look for the new lead
era in the shops and laboratories of our
colleges and universities.
If the Breech plan will hasten a program
for developing our future aircraft designers,
engineers and technicians, it deserves a try
apart from Its merits of usefully salvaging
surplus planes.
Of course, the aviation industry's inter
est in this plan might be called selfish, but
It la selfishness which works for. the com
mon good. The industry, naturally, is inter
ested in market. Air-mindedness is a
requisite of those markets, and there prob
ably are few better ways of spreading air
mindedness than from our colleges.
But markets also mean jobs. Aviation is
now in the awkward position of Ijeing one
of our youngest as well as biggest industries.
Obviously it cannot maintain anything like
its present size in peace. But it should do
everything possible to avoid a sudden col
lapse of activity.
If college aeronautical training can do
anything toward easing the transition from
full wartime to full peacetime production,
then Mr. Breech deserves three cheers and
a tiger, on and off the campus.
A WELCOME DISENCHANTMENT
In the last days of the political cam
paign, when truth and reason were looking
decidedly groggy, we came upon two ad
vertisements which renewed our hopes' for
the survival of those estimable virtues.
Turning back to those ads today, now that
the hurly-burly's done, we stili find them
encouraging enough to pass along as a pre
view of a possible better world to come.
One ad was put out by an aircraft manu
facturer, the other by a maker of shaving
cream. And both approached their subject
with candor which copy writers commonly
shun, apparently on the assumption that
such an approach is too true to be good.
The aircraft concern is talking about the
helicopter, which it plans to make after the
war. Now the helicopter, as everyone knows,
has had a tremendous buildup as the air
flivver of the future one smart New York
shop has even had a "helicopter fashion
show." But here is the gist of what one of
Ita future manufacturers has to say:
"Flying a helicopter Is not a job for a
novice . . . Helicopters, if they could be
purchased on the market today, would be
more expensive than the most costly auto
mobile . . . Helicopters are likely to be cost
ly for some time to come ... It has not yet
been demonstrated that a helicopter is any
more safe or less safe than anv other air
craft." The ahaviag cream people went about
selling their wares by staring a painful
truth which has too long been avoided.
"The word pleasure," they said, "shouldn't
even be mentioned in the same breath with
shaving ... . the whole business, we say,
is at best a nuisance and a bore."
" Such talk can scarcely fail to have a
healthy effect upon our civilization. Think,
for instance, of the sadness and confusion
that must have resulted already from the
unnatural association of shaving and pleas
ure. Downy-faced youths have approached
the brush and razor with the notion that
these symbols of manhood would combine
the pleasures of a turkish bath and massage.
There Is no need to dwell upon their
disillusionment. Time passed, the beard
toughened, and shaving became a "nuisance
and a bore." Yet the ads continued to pro
claim its pleasures. It was enough to shake
a man's faith in things generally.
Now if the same disenchantment can be
forestalled in tomorrow's wonderful world
of plastics, electronics and family helicop
ters we shall all be happier. Not that we
doubt that these things will come.
But too many -people seem to have the
idea that because we have been forced to
stop our normal progress for the grim busi
ness of killing and. destruction, we shall im
mediately step through the looking glass on
the day of victory into a new wonderland.

Dr. W. B. Merriam, distinguished paleon
tologist, has made some excellent research
into the effects of climate on human be
havior and he says it's climate makes the
Mid-West chronic agin'ers. We didn't know
Hillman had organized climate yet.
WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK
GAMBLING IN BEND
Bend Bulletin
This is written 'on election day before there is
any knowledge regarding the membership of the
city commission when the new terms begin in
January, 1945. It has to do with what has been
said to be one of the chief issues of the city elec
tiongambling in men's resorts though none of
the five candidates has publicly Indicated this to be
the case. And, of course, the fact that this has
been said to be an issue does not necessarily make
It one and silence on the part of the candidates
may well mean that, in fact, it is not one. What we
have to say is said on the chance that this gambling
business, if not now an issue, may become one.
Written before the results of the election are known
it wilt be apparent that personalities are not in
volved. After gambling in men's resorts had been
banned by official action some months ago it was
said here that the city officials who were back of
the move would find it difficult to permit a return
to former conditions. The statement stands and is
now made with respect to any new set of officials.
Gambling, so we are told, went on on a fairly
open basis down to the time of the ban. What led
to the shut-down has never been stated but it is
believed that the Incident of the elderly man re
ported in the news as having lost at gambling a
large sum received for accident compensation was
what touched off the action. It came after he had
complained or complaint had been made on his
behalf.
There are, or used to be, cases of large losses
and no complaint made. When there was a com
plaint, so we are now told, the practice was for all
resorts where gambling went on to "chip m" on
an assessment to repay the loss and stop the com
plaint. For some reason this was the method fol
lowed instead of restitution by the winning, house.
In the case just mentioned one operator balked
and asserted that he was going to see that the
whole business was stopped. It stopped.
Whether or not this is the story is not im
portant. The important thing is that gambling as
it was once carried on is now at an end. It can
begin again only if the police chief and his force
return to a shut-eye routine, the city manager
backs up his appointees in that routine and the city
commission backs up the manager. That is the line
of responsibility.
The majority of the people of Bend, we think,
though not vocal about gambling when it was go
ing'on here would object, now that it has stopped,
to see it resumed. Resumption would be apparent,
if it came, and the responsibility would rest in the
city hall.
That, as we have said, would be difficult for
old or new officials to take.
SOCIETY, WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS
By MARIAN LOWXY
OLIVE BARBER'S OBSERVATIONS
AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
The youngsters were being served dinner when
I arrived at the Children's Orthopedic hospital in
Seattle. Superintendent Thompson turned out to be
very different from the mental picture I had of
her. A little on the plump side, her blue eyes
twinkled merrily and had the jolliest way of
crinkling at the corners; even her nose tort of
twinkled, laughter wrinkles forming across its
bridge. The stiffly starched white uniform which
would have looked austere on any one else, wasn't
so no her. Its swish and crackle was a low chuck
ling about her as she went from bed to bed where
children were eating from trays; when she stopped
at low tables where children well enough to do
so dined family style; when she stooped over
weirdly trussed-up little figures lying on their
stomachs and eating the best they could from
dishes tucked under their chins.
Nothing so natural as child behaviour and so
there was no pretense in their joy at seeing her
approach. One of the attendants told me in an,
aside that it is always so, though she pass among
them many times a day.
The room whose curtains and walls were fes
looned with gaily disporting rabbits was. of all
things, the one whore anesthetics are given: given
not in the familiar breathed-ln manner but through
the rectum. With a rag bunny clasped to its breast
and with other bunnies being funnily acrobatic on
the walls, a child just slips off to sleep, unfright
pnod by masks and strange odors. All hospitals
are kind to children but here was a loving kindness
coupled with wisdom and understanding of childish
minds.
Approaching a ward containing children who
had been severely burned, the superintendent said
she called these the war casualties, for many 'had
been burned through being left alone while the
mother worked or when they had been left with in
competents. "Children don't have to be bombed
and strafed to be made casualties of war," she said,
the natural gaiety of her face absent as she told me
the histories of some cases.
One ward held six little Eskimo patients who
had been flown in from the far north several days
before. In another ward were several boys enough
recovered to rouRli-house the place. Pillows had
been thrown; books tossed about. Though she was
stern before them, when away she said it was good
when a boy got to acting normally. Oh she knew
what normal boy behaviour was all right!
The hospital is helped by many organiiations
but most of all 1 like to think of the women who
met and made those jolly rag rabbits to the end
that a litle child might enter the lonely wav to
healing a little less lonely because ot the bunny
he bolds In hu arms.
