A wider course of struction will be given to al -serve pilots and a broader use will be made of these aviators Previously, graduates of the naval academy were sent on a two-year cruise before action was taken upon their applications for transfer into the air service. Navy offic expect the closing of this gap between grad- ~ uation and the heginning of aviation training to increase the number holding a preference for fighting Selection Plan Changed A new system of selecting pros- pective enlisted pilots, meanwhile, is well under way.

Naval Aviation Reserve The aviation reserve, which the third source of supply for pilots. draws its applicants from a group of universities and colleges which give a preliminary course. These applicants are given 18 hours of flying and then are sent to Pensa- cola for an eight months course in which they are given 200 hours of flying. The appropriation to care for the naval reserve fliers was almost dou bled for this year to provide for a greater number of training hours in the air and to permit the navy to make a wider use of them.
