It is entirely including the pay of its civilian personnel. No congressional appropriations of the taxpayer's money is diverted to this service. Occasionally a soldier or airman is approached by a civilian, not authorized to purchase, who wants he serviceman to buy items for him at the PX. This may seem harmless, but actually it is a serious infraction of regulations, and an action which justifiably angers civilian retailers. Any time a serviceman indulges in this practice he threatens the entire existence of the exchange services. However, civilians working on the base are permitted to purchase cigarettes, soft drinks, food and other items which they can consume or use on the premises. life-lik- C-8- 8491. .

The air was verv custv during takeoff and just after the pilot retracted his landing gear, me wma slopped blowing. The effect was much the same as if the plane had run completely out of air to fly in. It dropped to the ground and slid along on its "belly," giving its 40 passengers a rough ride. The nlane was brought to Hill for repairs and now all of the rebuilding has been completed, even down to the skin, or aluminum sheeting, which has been rivetted into place.

The film, developed by the AMC and Eastman Kodak, shows up camouflage for the fake it is. The new film is made up to two layers, one of which is sensitive to infra red light. All natural vegetation photographs red on the film, while inanimate objects photograph green. These complimentary colors, offer maximum contrast. A truck' painted green and hidden in a forest will photograph green, but the forest itself will appear red. This is due to the fact that chlorophyll, the substance that makes leaves radiations green, gives off infra-re- d to the sensitive layer of the camouflage detection film. The importance of the new films can best be appreciated when you of realize that approximately 80 our intelligence information about enemy powers comes from photographs. Training Planes Trucked East Ten T-- 7 "Navigator" airplanes left Hill Air Force Base a week ago bound for Chanute Air Force Base, Rantoul, Illinois. The aircraft were not flying, however; each plane was loaded aboard a 55-fo- ot trailer. The twin engine planes, which have been in storage at Hill, arc being shipped to the training command for ground instructional purposes only. The caravan will take U. S. high way 30 to Clinton, Iowa, and then travel highway 51 to Champain Illinois and then to Rantoul. John F. Ross of the State Highway patrol escorted the plane-lade- n trailers as far as the state line. He didn't drink or smoke or swear.
