With Only Four Accidents,
CAA Pilots Fly 1,640 Hours
Covering 25,000 Air-Miles
By Paul Komisarak
They flew a grand total of 25,000 miles in 1,640 hours without
one serious accident, only four slight mishaps, and finished their
course with 17 of them full-fledged pilots and a number of others
ready for their final flight tests.
Inrumiing up this interesting record, 39 University students who
have just completed the Civil Aeronautics authority fall quarter
course, made 802 successful landings
and takeoff s and burned 7,500 gallons
of gasoline.
These figures, released yesterday by
V. R. Mann, airport manager, showed
a cost of approximately $2,000 for gas
and oil alone, and. an ability on the
part of Carolina's student aviators to
keep clear of trouble. Mann said that
of the total distance covered, 125,000
miles, or once around the world, the
23 students did half of the distance

Complete Records Lost In Fire .
An estimated cost of the entire pro
gram is impossible at the present,
ilan revealed, since all records went
up in flames with the 10 planes, one
hangar, engine log books and three
parachutes that were demolished when
the airport burned down last month.
The $2,000 for gas and oil, however,
are only a fraction of the entire oper
ating cost, Mann explained. Insurance
costs, depreciation, hangar repairs,
and general maintenance figures were
ur.able to be gathered.
"Those motors," Mann said, were
"really working." The engines turn
about 23,000 times a minute, they

Federal Power
Perm, Carolina
Students Meet
Debaters from the University of
Pennsylvania Sunday night tangled
with a Carolina . team on the concen
tration of power in the federal gov
ernment in a public debate sponsored
by the Debate council
Graham Carlton and Elsie Lyon,
Carolina debaters, argued the affirma
tive of the proposition, "Resolved, that
the present trend toward concentra
tion of power in the Federal govern
ment Is for the best interests of the
nation," while Leonard Joseph and
Mitchell Cooper, representing Penn
sylvania, took the negative.
Introducing the affirmative argu
ments, Graham Carlton stressed that
concentration of power in the federal
government "provides more efficient
and uniform action than could be ob
tained from state action," and that it
"arouses a sense of patriotism and na
tional unity in the people." .
For the Negative
Leonard Joseph, first speaker for
the negative, stated that there was no
need of further increasing the powers
of the federal government, since they
already have adequate powers to deal

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 Viscount
Halifax, Great Britain's new ambas
sador to the United States, was cri
ticized today during House debate on
President Roosevelt's British-aid bill
for initiating personal . conferences
with Democratic Congressional leaders
over the weekend.
The diplomat conferred with Chair
man Walter F. George, Democrat csf
Georgia, of the Senate foreign rela
tions committee; Chairman Sol Bloom,
Democrat of New York, of the House
foreign affairs committee; Vice-President
Henry A. Wallace; and Speaker
of the House Sam Rayburn, Democrat
of Texas. j
Taking the floor today in opposition
to the bill, Representative Everett
Dirksen, Republican of Illinois,
charged that the conference repre
sented "extraordinary procedure" and
demanded that Congress be advised
what the ambassador said, "if he dis
cussed time-tables or the urgency of
action" on the legislation.
Bloom said that he merely ex
plained to the diplomat the procedure
under which the House would consider
the bilL
While there was a tendency among
Congressional leaders to minimize the
importance of Dirksen's criticism,
non-interventionists studied it with a
view to including the diplomat's con-
ferences m their fight on the measure.
