Martin left the city for Several days, returning ony re cently. Defectives believe there is a distinot tie-up between the Mar tin threats and the Bflrtels bom bing, especi^ly in view of the fact tJiat the laitter contends he “did not know” Martin was en- gaged in the policy racket.

Peck, ANP) The splendid opportunities for aeionauticaQ engineers and me- chanica should not be overkjoked by airminded Negro youth. Like our fairer counterparts, we are nwre ancHned towiird seeking the more glamorous activities atten dant upon actual flying; in fact, we think of aU aviation as aerial activity. When cor«iderg)tion is given the skilled workers in the aviation industry, together with the grotmd crews at the service bases, 47 men are required to put one military plane and pilot in the dir; five are needed to keep thait plane afld piik)t^ ak)ft during maneuvers or wartime operaitions. Youth who are intereetfd in aero engineering need not be couraged by the difficulty we mentioned two weeks ago con cerning th®4^1 Williams cafe at the Naval ^i^raft factory. Paul is making a Hiving , and a good one-with >the navy’s help. To mention only a few of the impor tant ground Jobs, we stUggeat consideration of airplane and en- gme mechanic, mstrumunt tecjh- nician, aircraft metal worker, air craft welder, aero draughtsman, and machinist. These are ihhe Jobs open toda^, and the demand is so acute in the industry that we believe Negro youth could find ready employment, and at good wages. We were surprised when the public relations man of one of the lai^est aircraft concerns told us that they hud not seriou*- sly thought a|5out Negro workers because none had ev«r applied. Whether or not other factories would hire qualified Negro work ers is conjectural. Less cer4iak^, however, is the fact that all plants are requiring definite proof of American citizenship of fill applicants. Here is one in stance when we shall be taken on “face value”. , The mechanical traes and spe- diaUties are beet obtained vo» cdHonal or trade schools, al though many puTbl’.e schools now offer aviation electives. More than 12,000 were enrolled in avi ation trade courses laikt year, aaid congress has appropriated fB,- 000,000 for conrses in public schools. We hope to see m^ny of tho Na^ri^ schools and colleges in elude form of aviutkm training in their curricula. Foremost among the colored schools to take this forward step i? Tuskegee institute. Aviation mechanics hae been included there for several years, alid tiie institu^ had achieved hi|^ly commendable results with its unit of tile civiUan pilots trainang pro gram, Such success, in fact a most ambitious undertaking is bfing planned, Throi^h popwUfr subscription, the institute ia seeking to purchase an airport of Its own. We mast not miss this golden opportunity to further N'egro aviation. Their efforts must be backed by every news paper and progrescijps orjjaniza- tryll The WANTED!
