For a split moment everything COPS Mack as the dive sends the blood rushing to your head. Then the cadet is peering through the gunsights ahead of the target by about 50 feet. The sock moves at 100 miles per hour. It takes judgment, timing. The idea seems to be to see how close you can come to the target without hitting it with the propeller, to place the bultels accurately.

NO TTODLEY-WINKS You're going'to hit it with the plane. You close your eyes. The cadet yells like a kid imitating a machinegun, and you can hear him ALL IS NOT WAR: One can find almost every skill, every hobby among the men of Luke Field.

Both ships, in active service, fly at heights which make them scarcely the ground, an uncanny experience for the enemy. WITHOUT FLAG-WAVING The employees of Goldwater's got a little choky feeling in their throats when they got the store's September employee bulletin written by Lt. Barry Goldwater, written while he was on active duty at Luke Field. There were parts of the bulletin which made them feel like and parts where they laughed with i. The THERE'S STORY BEHIND EACH NAME There's background that's a tale in itself behind almost every name on the cadet roster at Luke Field.

For instance, there are Lowell 3. Mulcahy, Tulare, kneeling on the wing, and Robert Smith, who was born at March Field, Calif. Cadet Lieutenant Mulcahy starred in football, track and baseball at Fresno State College, completed a course fitting him for a post as ensign in the navy then entered the army air corps. Cadet Captain Smith, whose father is Lt Col. A.

W. Smith of Wheeler Field, T. has had homes at nearly all the large airports operated by the army. After two years at the University of Michigan, where he played football, he entered the air corps. His dad, a flight surgeon, was an (Republic Staff Photo.) at no time have you been two to four years' provide biennial in- annual city elections; automatically extend who were.

There's a swjsh like two cars passing at high speed.

You flick your eyes open In time to see the target whiz by, but zowie, so close! The ship climbs. You're back in formation. Then more dives on the wind-bellied sock and you'd swear that every time the cadet yells louder and conies closer to hitting the target with his plane.

The lead plane makes a cliff- steep, diving turn to the right and power-plummets straight for the target at a right angle at some 200 miles per hour. The second plane follows. Then it's your turn.

You follow the path of the first two planes, diving, turn-. on those bodies since, by so doing, they automatically forfeit the right to sell the city goods or services. Turnover End Sought Primary objective of amendment No. 7, relating to the city manager, is to prevent the frequent turnover in that office and consequently, to further eliminate city hall disquietude and turmoil. The increase in the annual park levy is proposed on the grounds funds available are insufficient for the proper upkeep of the city's growing parks, playgrounds and recreational system.

Sole intent of the last proposal is to assure equal distribution of money between the various park areas. i blistering hour of that before the lead pilot gives the "home" signal. The trip home isn't exactly tiddley- winks. The ships slither through formation after formation so that at times you skid under another plane so close you almost could reach up and scratch a match on its tummy. ONE-FIXGER SIGNAL Over the airport, the lead pilot gives that one finger circle signal again.

You hear the cadet whoop something like, "Watch me paint this one And great gods of thunder, you're down, on the runway, in a perfect three-point landing, before you can say ONE OF 11 Latest word on the new military airport under construction two miles east of Higley is that it will be one of 14 advanced flying schools of its kind in the United States, that is, with a complete setup for multi-engine instruction. Part of the background on the deal is that before the end of this year, production of long-range bombers -will have reached 200 monthly, and by some time, next year, will reach 500 monthly. Pilots must be specially trained to handle these big ships. There are two main types, the tears in their eyes. The bulletin is an intensely personal talk of one worker with his fellow-workers, and never was intended for public consumption, but for all that, there are parts of it at least which are well worth the reading by every American.

Certainly one couldn't Goldwater's letter without- feeling that America's new army is going to be pretty fine, regardless of the fault-finders. HERE'S WHAT HE SAYS: "Many people have come to me and expressed sorrow at my being in the army. 'Isn't it too they say. 'Why didn't you get out of says another. Til be damned if I'd Well, now let's look at it.

'To begin with. I am not the least bit sorry. I am proud to be able to serve a country that has served me so well for so long. I didn't assume the obligation that I did on becoming a (reserve) officer with the idea that at the first trouble I would sneak out. I didn't take my (reserve officer) training with the idea that it was being wasted.

AVIATION SLANGUAGE "Aileron" is a hinged or pivoted surface of an airplane, usually part of the trailing edge of a wing, the main function of which is to enable the pilot to make the machine roll on its longitudinal axis, such as to "bank" during a turn. CHIT-CHAT State tax commission has just demanded that the commercial air lines pay a one per cent sales tax on all gross receipts collected for intrastate travel. Transcontinental and Western Air, isn't currently affected, since it's doing only interstate business. American Airlines has terminals at Douglas and Tucson as well as Phoenix, however, and does considerable intrastate trade. State officials said tax might be made retroactive to cover all intrastate business the airlines have done since the sales tax law was adopted.

Anti-Nazi moves continued today in Argentina and Chile undeterred by German action in arresting Chilean citizens and by an authorized German spokesman's denunciation of the Argentine congressional resolution censuring Edmund von Thermann, ambassador, for having "abused his diplomatic privileges. Roberto Cache, undersecretary of foreign relations, said that Ricardo Olivera, Argentine ambassador to Berlin, reported to German press "has initiated a campaign against the action of the chamber of deputies" for its resolution censuring Von Thermann.

Soloiu Hit Axto Activity The detention of Chileans in Germany and the verbal onslaught against the Argentine congressional resolution was met by the following developments: 1. The Damonte Taborda congressional committee investigating anti- Argentine activities published' the text of four bills soon to be introduced in the chamber regulating the size and quantity of diplomatic pouches. And imposing strict regulations on totalitarian news agencies and pro-axis newspapers. 2. Judge Humberto Mewes, of the Court of Appeals of Valdivia, Chile, announced that his investigation of anti-Chilean activities, implicating 28 Germans now under arrest, will continue, and he hinted that they may develop important disclosures of widespread subversive movements by such organizations as the German-Chilean bund.

Nazi Deportation Urged 3. The Santiago, Chile, press was virtually unanimous in condemning the arrests in Germany and newspapers urged stern government action, suggesting deportation of Nazi leaders in Chile and confiscation of their properties. The Socialist newspaper La Critica demanded that the Chilean government deal Germany "blow for blow," and urged the deportation and confiscation of the property of all Germans convicted of anti-Chilean activities. The newspaper La Hora, organ 01 the strong Radical party, said it was idiotic to talk to Adolf Hitler about constitutional rights and the law adding, "If they like kicking over there, let us do some kicking here." La Nacion, which usually expresses the government's viewpoint, sale that any act of reprisal by the German government "is completely anc absolutely unjustified." It pointed out that the arrest of German citizens in Chile was in accordance with the constitution, and that the Germans have not been deprived ol their rights to self-defense. 0 Tall Man Held Threat To Secrecy Of Ballot ENGLEWOOD, N.

I Foreign Radio Aid Protested CHICAGO, Sept.

F. McDonald, president of Zenith Radio Corporation, said today a report prepared by a special committee of the Radio Manufacturers Association urged that materials now being used to make equipment for foreign concerns be diverted to American manufacturers. The committee, according to the report, found that "foreign competitors are having built in the United States, under contract, complete radio receivers and are obtaining parts and materials which have been used and will be used to compete with American manufacturers in foreign markets." American manufacturers, according to the committee, are unable to obtain an adequate supply of materials to fill their own export orders. The committee recommended that no further orders be accepted i)y American manufacturers from foreign owned or controlled companies for apparatus to be used in I competition in export fields with goods bearing American trade 1 marks. McDonald said the report was I submitted to the association's executive committee which, in turn, voted to present it to "proper gov-1 ernmental departments in Wash- ngton." Although the committee did not mention the names of any foreign companies in connection with its report, it was understood in radio circles that a firm located in the Netherlands was the principal tar- State and municipal authorities in Mexico will not permit the showing of a motion picture unless it bears the official approval of the government.
