PAGE TWO? THE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE. January 11, 1011 CONGRESS EYES BILL ON LEASE I END PROPOSM (Continued From Pg One) president with full responsi bility for American production. In addition, other sources aald that agencies such as the reconstruction finance corpora- tlon might be called upon to handle some phases of the pro- gram. The first necessity for mak ing the program effective, Byrne said, Is a survey of pro- ' duction capacity to determine exactly how much and what kinds of equipment can be sup plied to the British. He pre dicted that the chief items to be furnished would be airplanes, destroyer and cargo vessels These, he said, are the things which Britain is most anxious to obtain. In other quarters it was learned that the British might be asked to turn over upward of $2,000,000,000 of investment in this country as collateral for the war materials which the president proposed to lend. Brit ish Investments here consist of stocks and bonds in American concerns, of real estate and of British owned companies or sub sidiaries operating in the United . States. At the capitol, with both senate and house in recess, ad- .; ministration leaders laid plans . for hastening action on the aid legislation, which, in addition ' ' to authorizing the loan and lease of war equipment on any . terms the president may fix, ' would permit the communlca ' tion of "defense information" to warring democracies and al- low 'the repair of British war ships and planes in American .' shipyard and factories.

TAKES 01 LIFE Suffering 'from an Incurable disease, Emmett William Capps, 48, Bonanza, chose death rather than a lingering illness and bold ly slashed his throat in a Klam ath Falls hospital ward while other patients in the room wait ed their breakfast early Satur day morning. Mr. Capps' bed was in a cor ner of the room. He turned his head to the wall, covered himself completely with bed clothing and drew a atraight-edged razor from ear to ear.

Lesson No. II MORE SPINS With the required time prior to the solo flight nearly com pleted at 7 4 hours, this lesson consisted of a general review, with emphasis on spins. Climbing to a high altitude. Instructor Stinson demonstrated a spin or two himself before telling me to try my luck. Then I put the ship through a scries of stalls and spins that overcame all vestiges of dread that I had felt previously in re gard to these maneuvers. I found the ship reacted instantly to opposite rudder, and outside of pushing the stick too far for ward on one occasion and near ly throwing us over on our back (at least I could feel a pressure on my safety belt) I managed to keep the ship under control. A few mora steep turns, glid ing and climbing turns, and a couple of landings completed the lesson. Lesson No. 16 SOLO FLIGHT This lesson wound up my eighth hour of dual, the re quired amount under govern ment regulations, and. sure enough, Chet turned me loose. I soloed, and walked away from two landings! Take her around in a regu lar rectangular course and land her," Instructor Stinson told me as he clambered out, "and remember, it's all up to you this time. Watch out for incom ing planea and be sure to climb to 400 feet after the takeoff before making the first turn." Before he let me go he re- trimmed the plane to make up for the lack of weight in the front seat. Then it was all mine. I turned the ship around on the runway, into the wind, and shoved the throttle open. It was a long, long distance across that empty space in front to the instrument panel. The dual controls in front waggled re assuringly as I picked up speed and lifted the tail off the ground. The plane was more buoyant with no one in front and I soon pulled it into the air. Then I got a real thrill. In complete command of an airplane for the first time, I couldn't suppress a feeling of exultation as the ship soared higher. Because of the extra buoy ancy I overcontrolled slightly on the first two turns, but brought it around successfuly enough over the familiar land marks below and cut the motor for the customary 180-degree landing. By trying to mis a series of large mud puddles which dotted the runway, I made the only bungle of this initial flight. I got the water holes mixed up and came down ahead of the first one instead of past it. los ing altitude in a hurry by throwing the plane Into a side slip. I overcontrolled again in coming out of the slip but the landing, I think, was okay. At least it felt fairly smooth from where I was sitting. Then as the wheels spun through the first mud puddle, the plane got a thorough showerbath. At any rate, Chet waved me around again. On the second try I landed on a firmer spot on the runway, without using a sideslip and do ing a better job of missing the water holes.
