Auto Thief
Information from a local rich-
er led to the arrest this past Fri-
day, August 22. of Charles Evertt
Mowery, age 24. who had stolen
a 1951 sedan in Mobile, Alabama.
Mowery, who lives in Cincinnati,
Ohio, was picked up by Erwin
Moo>, Hondo cattleman, on a lane
near the Hondo bridge on High-
way 9U. Mowery had just aban-
doned the stolen car and this caus-
ed Moos to become very sus-
picious of the hitch-hiker.
After dropping Mowery off i n
Hondo. Moos reported the incident
to Chief Deputy Sheriff Charles
Hitzfelder, who immediately infor-
med the Highway Patrol in Uval-
de and Del Rio to be on the look-
out for the suspect. _
Patrolman N. L. Stark, Uvalde,
received the call and soon caught
Mowery hiding in a truck that was
going to California. Stark turned
him over to Sheriff Jack Fussel-
man—and—Hitzfelder—soon—re^
reived a voluntary statCmeht to
the effect that he admitted his
crinje and a past record which
included mail theft, drunk driv-
ing. drunk, and destruction of prop-
erty. In 1951, he had served three
months in the Federal- Correction
Institution in Ashland, Ky fur
theft of. the mails.
Mowery said that he had caught
a fide with William Kiraly from
Cincinnati to Mobile. While Kiraly
was sleeping in a hotel, the thief
took off with the car. This was
on August. 16.'
He said that he had toured the
entire Southwest and wrecked thb
car in New Orleans. Running low
on funds. Mowery sold the car's
radio in Victoria. When funds were
complete!) exhausted and the ga-
tank Was nearing the empty stage,
he ditched the car at the Hondo
bridge.
Fusselman and Hitzfelder turned
Mowery over to F B L agents Fri-
day, evening The reason for fed-
eral agents involved in the ca>e
was because the stolen auto was
brought across a number of *st it--
.lines making it a federal offense

Light Plane Plan
To Begin At Base
During '53 Spring
Texas Aviation Industries. Inc.
operating personnel of the Hondo
Air Base, will soon embark upon
an additional program in its train-
ing at the base by the utilization
of light airplanes for thp first six
weeks of each class’s training.
The T-6 airplane is an exceeding-
ly expensive and difficult airplane
to fly; in fact, it is recognized, by
all concerned that anyone who can
fly a T-6 can generally fly any-
thing else known to man.
Due to the fact that a large per
cent of the eliminations of the stu-
dents are based upon a factor
which may be determined in less
expensive and in a less difficult
operation, the Air Force has in-
augurated an addition to the T-6
training program by utilizing the
first twenty-five hours of primary
flying training in a light air-
plane, which will generally be of
the same characteristics as a Pi-
per Cub with a 90'horsepower on-
gme.
In doing so, there jiro three pri-
mary thirigs to be considered. First
is motivation of the subject. It is
extremely important that young-
■ sters be allowed to get up in the
air feeling,free, secure, confident,
and really enjoy the art of f!v-‘
ing.
Secondly, there is a factor of
selection based upon coordination,
fear of flying and whether or not
the subject is inclined to be air
sick while air borne.
Thirdly, there is a great con-
sideration of both ‘.‘continuity of
training” which means that it is
wise to utilize types of same gen-
eral handling characteristics and
style: that is, whether it -is” in
tandem, or side by side arrange-
ment. ‘ .
— For- a great many years the light
airplane has turned out manv won-
derful pilots for the United States
who have subsequently transferred
to heavier and faster combat, air-
planes In the T-6, the cost of
determining the factors set forth
above i> excessive to the cost of
the operation of the lighter [Mane.
In the interest of getting the
maximum amount of good from
e ' • ■ h—!o' ’r rf “ the A IT Force blldg-
et,., the AF. has turned to the light
plane .and Texas Aviation Indus-
tries lee witt plTice Twenty-seven'
of them into operation in the spring
of 1953. After the -tudent completes
his training hours on the light
plane he will then put in 12o hours
on the T-6 type of plane which is
the neeesary step between the
light plan and the modern jet-
operated equipment
The '*ict details of the procure-
ment ot the aircraft as to cost,
concerned, is still a matter of ne-
gotiations between the authorities
of T AT and the Fly ing Training
Air Force.
