And so it went with thousands of civilians who witnessed for the first time the heavy bombers which have wrought such destruction upon Axis powers. In his address Wednesday night to the nation, Gen. H. H. Arnold, commanding general of the Army Air Force, declared, "the future of America may depend on maintaining a constantly revitalized air force capable of inflicting instant deadly blows at the heart of an aggressor anywhere in the world." Love Of Peace Not Enough Gen. Arnold continued, "surely we must face the fact that a true love of peace is not enough for decent peoples of the world to count on. We must maintain the strength to enforce that peace." The guests who visited OATSC on Air Force Day had occasion to see for themselves an overall picture of Air Force strength in the form of heavy bombers,, pursuit and fighter planes consolidated at Hill Field especially for the "Open House" celebration. It was a hot sweltering day and civilians last Wednesday stood four and five deep around the refreshment concession dispensing with 14,000 individual hot dogs and 550 cases of Coca Cola or 13,200 individual bottles. The event was climaxed in the evening by a military review at Thomas 5:45 p.m. when Disthe was presented Jackson a and Cross tinguished Flying bronze star.

"In addition, surplus air craft are relatively useless a a military reserve since only the latest and best models can ef fectively be used for current operations as well as for pos sible future defense plans," he explained. RFC Makes Decision - - x . All flvable v(,wiuuic:u by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to unsalable, are flown by the army -- na navy on a "last flight" to various fields for saluawo 9nH scrapping, but those in condition are scrapped and salvaged by the services on in struction from the RPC. The latter are th handled by the Ogden Air Tech nical service Command. All usable parts such as engines, propellors, instruments, electric motor accessories, etc., are removed and returned to stock to be used again. Other material is placed in surplus categories for use by other agencies or placed on sale to commercial civilian outlets. The residue is then placed in for sale as salvage or assalvage scrap. This scrap is coming in for a great deal of study and research by a special committee formed to investigate the most economical and efficient methods of reducing sumlus aircraft to usable metal, the largest part oi wnicn is aluminum. This committee is composed of representatives of the War and Navy Departments, the RFC and the War Production Board.

In spite of such a sharp decline in the working force at Hill Field due to the demands of other critical industries and the armed forces, a huge volume of war material has continued to flow to the fighting fronts from this installation.
