from the F-84 to the F-86 is like
"driving a Cadillac after being

Training for Conversion to Supersonic Jets
By FRANK SIMONS
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The only
thing hotter than the weather
down in this Southern metropo-
lis is a group of "jet jockeys"
who constitute Michigan's 439th
Fighter Bomber Wing, a reserve
Air Force outfit more popularly
known as the Wolv-Air-Ines.
. The 439th is at the Municipal
.Airport here to convert from
the F-84 jet fighter to the super-
sonic F-86H Sabrejet. The tran-
sition is designed to give Michi-
gan adequate air protection in
the event of enemy _attack.
Typical of the jet pilots in the
439th is Maj. Kal Gladstone, of
21601 Sussex, Oak Park; who
has been flying for the Air
Force since World War II days.
Maj. Gladstone compiled
quite a record for himself
while flying P-47's with the
U.S. Eighth Army out of Eng-
land in the war. He holds
five Air Medals, countless
battle stars and a Disting-
uished Unit Citation to men-
tion only a few.
But, Gladstone, like all of the
other men down here, are too
busy working on the new F-86
to reminisce much about the
past.
While here on two weeks of
training duty, which began Aug.
4, each pilot is expected to
complete two and a half days
of ground school learning the
pOtential of the Sabrejet.
After this he checks out and
has two rides with an instructor
following in a chase plane.
From here on, the pilot is on
his own, but he must compile
15 air hours of solo flight be-
fore he is through.
There is not much room for
error in the transition period,
since all of the Sabrejets are
single-seaters. Yet, the 439th is
working to receive its fourth
Air Force Flying Safety Award,
presented to wings with no-
accident records.
The Wolv-Air-Ines, under the
command of Col. James H. Mc-
Partlin, of Birmingham, earned
their last safety award for fly-
U. S. Extends Insurance on
American Israeli. Investmens
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish New's)
JERUSALEM—An agreement extending United States Gov :
ernment insurance for American investments in Israel to include
protection against war damages was signed here Tuesday by
Israeli Foreign Minister Mrs. Golda M_eir and William 'Baxter,
United States Charge d'Affaires.
The new agreement is an expansion of a 1952 pact by which
the U. S. Government insured such investments against nation-
alization, expropriation and freezing of dollar earnings.
The insurance is provided through the International Coopera-
tion Administration's foreign investment guarantee program.
