A list of 61 attorneys to act as appeal agenta at each board will be sent today, he added. Locations Not Announced The actual organization of the registration locations will be left, in large part, to supervising registrars who will receive their instructions at a meeting at th County Courthouse Monday afternoon.

Dorothy Jones of 873 Boggs avenue, Mt. Washington, and Bob E. Touzalin of 5739 Center avenue were honor guests yesterday at a luncheon meeting of the Aero Club of Pittsburgh, which with the Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored the courses held in the Washington Trade school. Henry S. Carr, director of the course, another of which will begin within the next two weeks, said that although there has been much justifiable criticism of CAA, there is no doubt that courses such as that just completed arouse an interest in flying among young people.

"Just now 28 of the boys that took the course are trying to get into the flying cadets," Mr. Carr said at the meeting in the Hotel Henry. Although Bob Touzalin, 23, and a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, does not plan to go directly into army or navy flying after he completes his free course at the Pittsburgh-Butler Airport, he said that he will stand ready for such service for his country "if I'm needed." Just now, however, he has a good position with a steel company. "But if I were unemployed," he added, "I'd join the army or navy rieht away.
