SACRAMENTO, Calif. <U.R>.
The lonjj ami of national defence
is reahcini; out to include on a
voluntary basis the 8,500 certi-
fied private and commercial air-
plane pilots in California.
BriK -Gen. J. O. Donovan, state
adjutant, has announced the for-
mation of a Civilian Air Reserve
to includ" competent pilots .who
are not serving in the military
forces.
The air reserve will work ii>
conjunction with the state uuartt.
which is taking the place of na-
tional guardsmen mustered into
the regular army. Duties of the
new branch will be communica-
tion and patrol in time of war
or of emergency calling into ac
tion the armed forces.
Donovan explained that both
light and heavy private planes
are being recognized as a valu-
ernment pilot training course but
who do not own their own ma-
chines."
Many of these pilots as ..veil as
j. the older men do not measure
, up to present military require-
i ments because of physical con-
dition or other reasons with

pointed out.
Their utilization as air
ists, Donovan said, doubt le>
would spare military machine?
and personnel for urgent duties
elsewhere. He added that "intel-
ligent" cooperation between such
a reserve and the military ail j
force would bring ubout full uiil j
ization of the state's vast flying

working. Theirs is the task of,
sjiarply reducing totals in the

The World's Best Coverage
of The World's Biggest News
Flashing back daily dis-
patches, a new genera*
tion of war correspondents is
in the Held, carrying on bril-
liantly the traditions of men
whose names are newspaper
legend—such men as Richard
Harding Davis and Webb
Miller, Floyd Gibbons and
William G. Shepherd.
The young, veteran corres-
pondents who have distin-
guished themselves in this
war are, for the most part,
United Press reporters—re-
porters like Ian Yindrich, the
only newspaperman with the
British forces in beleaguered
Tobruk; like Richard McMillan
and Henry Gorrell, partners
in the fortunes of the Empire
forces in Greece from the
first skirmish through the
evacuation; like Joseph
Grigg, Jr., who followed the
German armiei into Belgrade
and Athens; like H. L. Percy,'
writer of a word-picture of
bombed, flame-swept
Plymouth that is newspaper
literature.
These men and scores of
others in the United Press
foreign corps are achieving
feats of reporting that rank
with the finest of all time and
that are setting new high
standards for all war corres-
pondence to come. They are
giving readers of United Press
newspapers the world's best
coverage of the world's big-
gest news. '
