Teach Science , Of Naval Flying. - Navy'? School of Aviation And Radio Largest and Best in World. ' CHICAGO. ? Through the vast buildings of the navy's huge new training school of advanced aviation, which cover 2m acres, swarm more than 2,000 young, uthletic, 'clean-shaven and clean-minded sailors of the U. S. navy, specialists in the most modern phases of aviation and radio absorbing scientific knowledge of naval flying mechanics, writes Gene Morgan in the Chicago News. A few of the Instructors and students are heroes of the war against Japan in the Pacific. Hundreds of these young tars have seen active , sea duty. But their lingo tinges with terms which would be Greek to the Bobstays?as they talk with easy familiarity of power turrets, vacuum chamber tested . carburetors, propeller-gun synchronization, flange gasket mountings and suction regulating valves. Marines Wear Overalls. Even the marines ? there are about 400 "uboard ship"?Join the bluejackets in green coveralls and work long hours to qualify as metalsmiths, machinists, ignition experts, carburation wizards, engine overhaulers and ordnance hooper-doopers; They, too, are learning to be part of the "backbone" of naval aviation, highly skilled maintenance men without whose unfailing, expert services the pilots are worthless. A visitor to the school who was "shown the works" by the commanding officer, Lieut. Comdr. Elmer L. Carlson, native Chicagoan, and aides, soon gave thanks that his service background was the infantry. There are four miles of corridors to be walked in the $3,000,000 group of new buildings which the Chicago board of education turned over to the navy last summer. The visitor saw aerial bombs from 325 to 1,600 pounds being handled as a fictional furniture mover handles the old baby grund. (No, they aren't loaded.) He saw sheet metal work- i ers putting red hot rivets on ice to be kept as cool as sub-zero cucumbers until needed. He saw turrets which looked like gigantic glass der- j bles for stock tickers twirl around and level their high-caliber batteries of machine guns on innocent onlookers. Turret Begins to Move. In the power-turret department at on officer's command a slim sailor wiggles through a maze of machinery and takes a position of solid, dentist's-chair comfort inside the hugo mushroom cultivator. The transparent turret begins to revolve just as it might in a dog fight in the skies above the Solomon Islands. Soon the "glass"-enclosed operator is virtually standing on his head as he aims his guns at imaginary winged foemen. Like the tubes of a horrendous pipe organ of death were the shining steel bombs of various sizes ranged along a wall in an immaculate workshop. It was explained that students in this section must learn to load airplane racks with bombs while blindfolded. Eight separate activities are in continuous operation at the school, which contains barracks for its student personnel, a spacious mess hall which amply feeds hundreds at a sitting, a gymnasium, natatorium, theater seating 1,200 and other facilities. The schools include "A" or primary school for aviation mechanics and mctalsmiths; "B" school, for advanced training or highly technical six branches of maintenance work; a navy teacher training school for civilian specialists; primary and advanced ordnance schools; radio school for training radio Instructors; ground school for officers' training, and n cooks' and bakers' school.

WASHINGTON. ? First-line reserves of potash in the United States can supply the nation's needs for at least 200 years, despite the steadily mounting wartime demand, sccording to a report to the American Chemical society by Dr. George R. Mansfield, geologist in charge of the areal and nonmetalliferous section of the United Stutes geological survey. The annual rate of consumption of potash is about 500,000 tons. Potash. it is pointed out, is important in the increased war production of food and in chemical and other industries manufaeturing essential military and civilian commodities. "World War II fl^s the United States equipped with a potash industry well established with adequate supplies of raw materials, methods of production carefully worked out, plant capacities ample for expected demands, and prices little affected by the disturbed conditions of world trade," Dr. Mansfield said. Learned Its Lesson. "In 1914 at the outbreak in Europe of the first World war Germany was virtually the solo source of supply for the potash needs of the world. The United States having learned through an unfortunate experience with Germany some of the disadvantages of dependence on that nation was already bestirring itself to find supplies of its own, but made little progress before war conditions hut ofT foreign supplies. The dearth of potash and the skyrocketing of prices gave added impetus to the search and many expedients with both inorganic and organic source materials were tried, mostly without lasting success. "After the war research was continued chiefly along two lines. The government followed up oil-well drilling in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico to find evidences of potash beds of possible commercial importance that might have been cut by the drills, and the American Trona corporation at Searles Lake, Calif., predecessor of the present American Potash and Chemical corporation, applied itself to problems of chemical research and engineering to separate potassium chloride commercially from a complex natural brine. Both agencies accomplished their objectives." In Favorable Position. Tho future of the potash industry^ in the United States' is subject to two' broad controls, Dr. Mansfield said. "The first is natural, concerned with sources of supply; the second, political and social. So far as can now be told, the industry is I secure for at least several generations and probably indefinitely. I "The available raw materials determine the nature of the necessary operations and to some extent the prices at which the American potash industry may undertake them. Thus they exercise a natural control over the industry." The potash industry, according to Dr. Mansfield, is in a favorable position to deal with the introduction of free trade, which, he said, may result from post-war application of the terms of the Atlantic Charter. Crutches Must Be Saved, Daring Cripple Gets 'Em KANSAS CITY, KAN. ? Ralph Maxwell, 19, suffers from a foot ailment, and he doesn't intend to lose his crutches. When the gasoline truck in which he'd been riding burst into flame, he rushed from the service station in which it was unloading. Driver Virdie Gunn shouted a warning, but Maxwell clambered into the cab?to rescue the crutches. While there, he paused long enough to drive the burning truck away from the service station to a vacant lot, where it flamed harmlessly. Then he used the crutches to scurry to safety. ANDREW G.
