To Retire from Duty
The 58-year-old admiral will
retire from active duty to take
the new post. He resisted retire
ment for years despite the loss
of his right foot in the sinking
of the Princeton off the Philip
pines in 1944. .
In his new job, he will super
vise the declassification of mili
tary material, some of which
dates back to World War II and
no longer has any security value.
The office was set up after
Secretary of Defense Charles E.
Wilson's committee on classified
information, headed by former
Assistant Secretary Charles A.
Collidge, contended recently that
so much information was over
classified that the legitimate use
of secrecy labels was suffering.
Eiensower in November, 1953,
issued an executive order on
safeguarding defense informa-
l tion in which he eliminated the
old category of "restricted" or
! lowest ranking label.

Celebration of
100th Anniversary
Of Civil War Set
Washington HP) A couple of
long-dead generals named Jeb
Stuart and Phil Sheridan must
be rattling around their graves.
A bunch of Yankees and Con
federates in Congress have ami
cably agreed to hold a four-year
celebration commemorating the
100th anniversary of the battles
of the Civil War bloody battle
by bloody ba'ttle.
Only a week ago the North
and South were snaffling at each
other again. This time it was
over the merits of Gens. Robert
E. Lee and George Meade, the
Confederate and Union com
manders at the battle of Gettys
burg. President Eisenhower and Brit
ish Field Marshal Viscount Mont
gomery had agreed that both
Lee and Mead should have been
sacked. The' Rebel yells could
be heard from Bull Run to Vicks
burg. But when a House Judiciary
Subcommittee held a hearing
on proposals to create a com
mission to plan a nationwide
centennial celebration of the
great war's anniversary not a
Rebel yell was heard.
However, there was one bit of
disagreement: Who is going to
pay the bill and how much?
The Confederate government
obviously is in no position to
pickup the check. That left the
Union.

Army flight instructor, has been
bombarding congressmen, de
fense officials and Air Force of
ficers for your years with his
plan to give high school students !
basic flight training. He wound
up his latest pavement-pounding
session here with the wry com
ment: "Everybody agrees it's a fine
idea, but no one wants to do any
thing about it."
Allred's plan is simple. He
would train high school young
sters to fly just as they are now
given automobile driving les
sons as part of the school curric
ulum. The program would be
voluntary, underwritten by the
government, and would utilize
cheap, light aircraft for training.
"Russia, the Iron Curtain sat
ellites, Britain, France and other
countries are training teen-agers
to fly," Allred said. "We're the
only major nation without an
air youth training program."
Lesions Too Costly.
Allred, a husky North Caro
linian, pointed out that not
many youngsters learn to fly in
the United States because of the
cost.
"Flying lessons run at least
$10 an hours," he added. "That
is prohibitive for most high
school kids, and as a result we're
neglecting a potential manpow
er pool for our military and civ
ilian ail' force.
Since 1952, Allred has been
writing letters or arranging in
terviews with various govern
ment officials. His arguments:
1. Modern aviation needs
youth, yet less than one half of
one per cent of the country's
seven million high school stu
dents are receiving any kind of
aviation training.
2. The Air Force itself is get
ting "old." There are grandfath
ers flying jet bombers (a statis
tic confirmed recently by Gen.
Curtis Lemay) and the average
age of combat pilots in Korea
was 32, compared to 23 in World
War II.
3. The number of flight train
ing schools and licensed instruc
tors in the United States has
been dwindling steadily in re
cent years.
4. Because comparatively few
teen-agers are interested in or
able to buy or rent planes, man
ufacturers have been concentrat
ing on fast, expensive aircraft
instead of cheap, simple train
ers.
But Allred said these argu
ments haven't stirred up much
positive reaction.
"I've written to or talked with
hundreds of persons about the
need for an air youth training
program," he said. "I have yet
to have anyone tell me it's a
poor idea, but nobody seems to
have gotten worked up over the
fact that our lack of training af
fects our very security."
Allred particularly would like
to get influential congressmen
interested, perhaps through the
medium of a hard-hitting movie
illustrating his plan and the
need for such a program.
"If I could ever get such a
movie made, I think I could sell
Congress on the whole thing,"
Allred insisted.
Meanwhile, he will continue
writing letters, knocking on
doors in official Washington and
trying to find someone with suf
ficient authority and interest to
get his program before Congress.
"It's a simple matter," Allred
concluded. "If you install the
spirit and lue ot iiying in a
teen-ager, he'll eventually wind
up a good pilot, and we certain
ly need good pilots."
