In more than 100 cities and towns where the association has chartered squadrons, the ceremonies will be planned and carried out by these groups with the aid and cooperation of personnel from nearby AAF establishments. To Demonstrate Aircraft. Special events are planned at all AAF bases in this country as well as at AAF establishments still active In Europe, the Far East and other parts of the world. Air demonstrations, open houses, dinners and banquets will highlight the day's programs. At the open houses AAF will exhibit aircraft and other new equipment to the public. AAF came into being on August 1, 1907. when the aeronautical division of the signal corps was created to handle "all matters pertaining to military ballooning, air machines kindred and subjects." Capt. Charles DeF. Chandler was placed In charge and assigned two enlisted men, Cpl. Edward Ward and Pfc. Joseph E. Barrett. On July 31, 1909, the aeronautical division accepted its first airplane. It was a fabric covbuilt by the ered of Dayton, Wright Brothers Ohio, capable of a speed of 40 miles per hour. Contract price was $30,000. From that time until World War I, the aeronautical division progressed slowly. New personnel was recruited and training schools activated, but there was no great expansion. Expands During War. The expansion came with World War I. At the outbreak of the war, the aviation section, as It was then known, numbered about 130 officers and slightly more than 1,000 enlisted men. At its peak strength, in 1918, the aviation section numbered more than 195,000 officers and men. Starting with only 55 planes, the aviation section received 13,901 during the war years from American Industry and bought 5,151 more In Europe. On March 1, 1935, general headquarters air force was established. This new unit was not merely a change In designation for the air corps, but a new organization within the army. GHQ, as it was called, was on the same level as the office of the chief of air corps, but It was concerned with the operational work while the air corps continued to handle supply and training administration. February, 1938, saw the debut of the plane which was later to become the "guts and backbone" of army air forces the Boeing and furthered destruction of the my's military strength and no airplanes Study in Morals It was reaction after 'bitterly contested political fights over taxes, labor, appropriations or reciprocal trade, perhaps the Russian situation or some other cause brought it up, but the house of representatives gravely listened to speech after speech on morals in government Brooks Hays of Arkansas, Mike Monroney of Oklahoma, Everett Dirksen of Illinois, George Sadowski of Michigan, John HesUe-to- n of Massachusetts and others joined In the verbal barrage. The parade was climaxed by a speech by Cong. Charles J. Kersten of Wisconsin. He said in part: "We should constantly let It be known to the world that ours, the finest government In the world, la based on a recognition of the fact that men are essentially equal the world ever, that their fundamental rights the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to seek and live a happy life these rights and others are given to them by their God. No dictator, no president, no court gives them these rights. Laws and governments not based on human nature-- will wither away. But laws and ' governments which recognise that a human being Is a king made in the Image and likeness of his Creator, that be has rights and a dignity given him by his Creator, rights and dignity that no state can take away those laws and that government shall stand the test of centuries." DERHAPS Already rent increases are going into tffict, reportedly in torn instances as high as 400 per cent. In bis message to congress accompanying bis signature on tbt rent control bill at "the lesser of two vils," President Truman called for congressional investigation of the real estate lobby as "a selfish and short-sighte- d group."
