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.

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.
