of aircraft plants and allied lines
gathered this morning to find so
lutions to bothersome problems
ranging from million dolar gov
ernment contracts to use of cot
ter keys instead of hairpins by
feminine aircraft assembly line
workers.
An unheard of procedure six
months ago, factory representa
tives met on neutral ground of the
nation’s largest reserve army ar
senal, under sponsorship of the
A&M school of aeronautical en
gineering, and air^d innermost de
tails of their operations in an
effort to assist some other man
ufacturer to solve his problems.
Walton Speaks
In welcoming the visitors Dr.*
Thomas Otto Walton, president of
the college declared: “The air
plane will have more influence over
the human family in the next 25
years than any other mode of
transportation has had in our
history.
“Until the war is won the air
plane must be developed along mil
itary lines, but when peace again'
comes every man in this world
will be your neighbor. The air
plane will make or break this civ
ilization of ours.
“In inviting you here to parti
cipate in the first aviation con
ference held under the auspices of
an aeronautical school, we did so
as a part of our appreciation for
the advent of the airplane indus
try to Texas. This institution had
nothing to do with your coming
to Texas, but we do have a con
tribution to make in supplying
you trained men to assist you in
running your factories, and to
develop a program of aeronautical
research that will assist you in
a solution of your technical prob
lems, just as this conference here
during Texas Aviation Week pro
claimed by Governor Coke Steven
son will assist you in solving your
own pressing problems of the
moment.
“We want the aviation industry
to loo kto Texas A&M College for
certain definite functions in devel
opment of this broad program, and
we shall look to the industry to
let us know your needs, so we may
better fulfill our obligation to
you.
The conference program today
included panels on employment,
training, research and manufactur
ing. Speakers minced no words in
dealing with their assigned sub
jects.
Personnel managers of various
plants did not hestitate to criti
cize tactics of each other in em
ployment programs. Employment
and training agencies come in for
both applause and criticism for
thoroughness in training and need
less delays in starting new train
ing programs. Discussion leaders
in this field included Nate Molin-
arro, North American Aviation,
Inc., Dallas; R. R. Young, Globe
Aircraft Corp., Fort Worth.... Wil
liam Crawford, Guiberson Corp.,
Dallas and Howard May, U. S.
Employment Service.
Training Section
The training section was led by
Van A. France, Concolidated Air
craft Corp., Fort Worth, T. T.
Word, WPB, Houston, and Ross A.
Peterson, North American Avia
tion, Inc., Dallas. Other speakers
were T. B. Woodbury, Culver Air
craft Corp; and Carl Friedlander,
Aeronca Aircraft Corp.
Feature of the reseach panel was
an agreement among all speakers
that plywood for airplanes is a
proven product with an unlimited
future. Those agreeing on the
bright future of plywood in air
craft manufacture were H. J.
Hansen, specialist in wood struc
tures of the civil engineering de
partment and J. R. Fitspatirck,
director of Technical Plywoods,
Inc., Chicago. John F. Leahy of
College Station, director of cotton
products research, and Dr. J. D.
Lindsey, head of the chemical en
gineering department, also spoke.
Frank Walton of the Aeronauti
cal Chamber of Commerce, New
York, was banquet speaker Thurs
day evening. Friday’s sessions in
clude additional panels on sub
jects pursued Thursday with addi
tional sessions on civilian pilot
trainirig, Civil Air Patrol and Pub
lic and press relations. The ses
sions close Saturday after con
ferences with selective service of
ficials and a model airplane con
test for Texas entries.
First Banquet
At the first dinner gathering of
the visitors, held Thursday even
ing in Sbisa banquet hall, the guest
speaker, Frank Walton of the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce in
Washington, spoke glowingly of
America’s air future after the
war.
He told of the possibilities of
giant cargo planes in a peaceful
world, and of the upsurge in civil
ian aviation when thousands of
fighter pilots come home.
“The record of American achieve
ment in aviation in known and
admired aroun dthe world,” he
said, and added: “This aviation
conference represents, to me, the
full flower of the aviation indus
try.”
Toastmatser George Haddaway
of Dallas, editor of Southern Flight,
introduced several distinguished
out-of-state visitors. Among them
were Russell G. Robinson of the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics, Washington; Lieut.
Bill Graham, Washington; Jack
Frost, executive secretary, Air
craft Parts Manufacturers Asso
ciation, Los Angeles; Warren Bazl-
ier and Andy Swenson, Beech Air
craft Corp., Wichita, Kan.; Ralph
Hinkle, representative of Trans
continental-Western Airlines; Hol
lister Moore and Jim Redding,
Aeronautics division, Society of
Automotive Engineers; W. G.
Green of the Tulsa Engineering
Laboratories; Rex Hayes, wing
commander of the Arkansas Civil
Air Patrol.

short hops are needed, or if car
goes of tools or other materials
must be flown, the CAP stands
ready to relieve the army of the
job. And CAP members go through
arduous routine training at spot
ting aircraft, against an emerg
ency.”
Maj. Johnson told of turning
over a list of 28,000 names of pil
ots to Lieut. Gen. H. H. Arnold,
chief of the army air corps. Soon
after, he said, a request came to
the CAP for the name of four
pilots, each with 2,000 hours ex
perience in flying bi-motored am
phibian planes, and each with the
ability to speak Spanish.
“In a few hours we turned over
names of 18 such pilots. Four were
selected, and now are air corps
captains in South America. One
came from Alaska, two from Flor
ida and the other from Vermont.”
Maj. Johnson was chief speaker
at a meeting of the Texas CAP.
Present were CAP wing command
ers of four states—Texas’ Harold
Byrd, Louisiana’s Byron Arm
strong, Arkansas’ Rex Hayes and
Kansas’ Louis M. Ascough.
Lieut. Col. Leslie Raybold of
Randolph Field, representing Maj.
Gen. H. R. Harmon, commander of
the (iulf Coast Air Training Cen
ter, spoke briefly on present and
expected expansion of arniy air
corps training centers.
Commenting on the recognized
need for more navigators, bom
bardiers, gunners and glider pilots
in the air corps, as contrasted to
the popular “romance” surround
ing fighter pilots, Lieut. Col. Ray-
bold put in a special plea for en-
rollees in glider training schools.
“The glider service offers a
great opportunity,” he said. “Their
life span, contrary to belief of
many, is longer than that of power
pilots. They will be used only when
air superiority has been establish
ed over an area, and in conjunc
tion with ground troops—but still
they will see plenty of action, and
get a good view of what’s ‘going
on.’
“After the war, there will be a
demand for pilots of cargo gliders
—one of the next steps of aviation
—by the airlines.
Problems of the Civilian Pilot
Training Program were aired at
a joint meeting of co-ordinators
and operators, the most perplexing
appearing to be that of obtaining
sufficient instructors.
It was pointed out that, under
the accelerated CPT program, the
army was taking all the instruc
tors that could be graduated.
Where, then, was the consensus of
interrogation, will operators of
CPT schools obtain additional in
structors in order to turn out more
instructors for the army? There
was no definite answer, pending
new information from Washing
ton.
CPT operators were advised that
the present grade of aviation gas
oline is the best they can expect
to obtain, with the armed services
taking all the higher-octane fuel.
It was explained that 70-octane
gas has been stepped up to 80-
octane by the addition of ethyl,
and that the only cure for burned-
out motors, as a result of lead
formation, is frequent top-over-
haul.
No more training planes will be
manufactured, except for army-
operated schools, the CPT men
were told. They were advised to
take great care of the equipment
on hand, especially by not putting
too great a student load on one
ship.
Ed Nilson of Fort Worth, super
intendent of Region 4, told the as
sembled CPT men that their re
gion “is out in front” in the new
accelerated program, and that
many compliments on their work
had been received from Washing
ton officials.

SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 27, 1942
Jack Crain Visits Aggieland In
Altogether New Cowboy Spirit
By Chick Hurst
“Cowboy” Jack Crain, “the lit
tle man who wasn’t there” to the
Aggie tacklers is making another
appearance on the A. & M. campus
yesterday and today. The visit this
time, however, is somewhat differ
ent from the last appearance that
the “Cowboy” made at Aggieland,
for Crain is playing on a different
team now—one coached by a fel
low known as “Uncle Sam.”
Jack is an Ensign attached to
the party of officers from the
Naval Aviation Cadet Selection
Board which is attending the CPT
meeting held in connection with
Aviation Week here at A. & M.
The CPT has been taken over by
the Army and Navy for the dura
tion of the war, and for this rea
son both Army and Naval Air
Corps officers are in attendance
at the meeting.
The *group of officers of which
Crain is a member is attached to
the Dallas recruiting office of the
Naval Air Corps. Any cadets in
terested in signing up for Class
V-5 training may obtain all in
formation relative to enlistment
by seeing one of these men in the
lounge of the Y.M.C.A.
Crain applied for a commission
in the Navy as a physical director,
but his application was transferred
to the recruiting service and "he
was assigned to the Dallas office.
His former teammate Noble Doss,
another lad who is well remember
ed by the Aggies is also an Ensign
in the Dallas office. Both Doss and
Crain are slated to play in the an
nual All-Star football classic to
be held at Soldier’s Field in Chi
cago the night of August 28. This
year’s game is being held for
Army and Navy Relief and will
be between the All-Stars and the
world’s champion Chicago Bears.
In order for Crain and Doss to be
able to play in the game, the Navy
is transferring them temporarily
to Chicago, effective August 8, the
first day of practice.
Crain and the other officers of
the naval board will be here until
noon today at which time they
will leave for Houston. All enlist
ments in Class V-5 naval training
must be made at the Dallas office
of the Naval Aviation Cadet Se
lection Board, but complete infor
mation and enlistment papers may
be obtained from the visiting
group of officers.
Of interest to those cadets who
have already been sworn in under
Class V-5 or V-7 training and who-
were not quite clear as to the
proper procedure in the coming
draft registration was the news
that they do not have to register
for Selective Service.
