Vital Defense Role Of
Civil Aviation Is Topic
The important role that civili-
an aviation will play in national
defense and new regulations con-
senting private flying will he dis-
cussed by Hubert Pollard, Sweet-
water Airport manager and local
aviation leader, at a meeting of
the Civil Air Patrol at 8 p. m.
Monday in the CAP meeting
room, hangar No. 1, Avenger
Field.
Pollard will relate information
obtained at recent conferences
with members of the Texas Aero-
nautics commission concerning
regulations that will govern fly-
ing during the national emer-
gency and measures that will be
in effect in the event of war.
All airplane pilots, airplane
owners and those interested in
aviation are urged to attend the
meeting, according to Capt. Kay
McKinney, commanding officer
of the local CAP.
Outlook Good But
Gilbert Warm On
Inflation Danger
DALLAS, Jan. 6 (UP) — The
presideni of the Dallas Federal
Reserve Bank predicted yester-
day that both prices and wages
would be pushed up by the "in-
between” economy created by
the current crisis.
This economy, Robert R. Gil-
bert told the Dallas Advertising
League, was not one of all-out
natinoal mobilization.
He said the future looked
bright for business in the south-
west during 1051, but he warned
that inflation must lie stopped.
“All the indicators of busi-
ness point upward,” Gilbert said,
"but stimulated by war, it is
doubtful if this type of business
is ever the most favorable."
Gilbert said inventories all
over the southwest would be
lowered because of shortage in
normal efficient labor supply
and in materials.

“Private plane owners and
pilots particularly are now be-
ing invited to join the Civil Air
Patrol, to be organized into an
“air defense unit of CAP,” ac-
cording to McKinney. "These
people, with valuable special
skills, may join the regular CAP
and participate in the organiza-
tion’s varied training programs,
but those who have limited time,
hut wish to be available with
their skills and equipment in the
event of a disaster or emergency,
may be included in a special cata-
gory. They may not he required
to wear uniforms or to engage in
full-scale CAP activities. They
may take part in flight work
only and then only as much as
their time will permit," he said.
In helping to organize civilian
flyers for defense, the CAP is
working in close harmony with
Texas Coordinator of Civil De-
fense, the State Aeronautics
Commission, the Department of
Public Safety, city and county of-
ficials, civic clubs and Red Cross
and other groups that would be
called on to participate in emer-
gencies.
A CAP radio network is being
established so that CAP’S state
headquarters will be able to con-
tact every unit in Texas when
an emergency occurs. Over 200
such stations have been planned.
There will be one on each airport
where there is a CAP defense
unit, and large “control” stations
will bo located at each of the 10
State Highway Patrol centers.
A type of emergency work in
which CAP is already engaged
is search and rescue for lost or
missing aircraft. Last year the
CAP performed more than 70
per cent of the total search ope-
rations in the United States.
“Civil Air Patrol is an auxili-
ary of the U. S. Air Forces. It is
a civilian organization and it’s
members may resign at any time
they wish. It has no connection
whatever with the eligibility of
a person for military service,
but is comprised of men who are
interested in aviation and who
realize the importance of ci-
! vilian aviation during an emer-
Igency," McKinney stated.
Beaumont Begins
Spindletop Oil
Boom Anniversary
BEAUMONT. Jan. 6 (UP)—
An oil well will be "spudded in”
today in the heart of Beaumont’s
business district to open the
golden anniversary celebration
celebration of the discovery of
oil at Spindletop.
It was 50 years ago next Wed-
nesday that the famed Lucas
gushed on Sprindletop Hill
marked the first major oil dis-
covery in Texas. It set off a boom
that has not vet run its course.
Thousands of spectators were
expected t.o gather in Sunset
Park, where the Texas Railroad
Commission granted the Spindle-
top commission a permit to
drill 5,000 feet.
The “Spindletop Saga” opens
a two-night run in the city audi-
torium tonight.
The anniversary celebration
will be in full swing by next
Wednesday night, when a five-
course pheasant banquet will he
served to 2.00U persons in the
Beaumont High School gymna-
sium.
East Texas fields are still po-
tent producers although drilling
activity m West Texas has
caught the most attention in the
past decade.
