Heavy Share Ot Officers In RCAF OTTAWA (CP) -- There are only nine fewer senior officers in the RCAF at the present time thon there were in May, 1944, when the air force was at its|' peak fighting strength. A Commons return filed by Defence Minister Hellyer for Jack Mclntosh, Conservative MP for Swift Current - Maple Creek, shows there -- i group captains in the compared with 160 in May, 1944, 3 air commodores compared with 137 and 13 air vice-marsh- als compared with 23. RCAF strength now is about 51,000 compared with some 230,- 000 in 1944. "Mr. Hellyer also said more than half of the officers in the air force--1,720 of a total of 3,112 --are receiving flying pay while performing full - time duties which do not necessarily involve Cost of aircrew allowances for these officers was $2,055,000 an- nually, Cost of maintaining and operating aircraft for these -of- ficers was $7,036,000 a year. SERVE DUAL PURPOSE These aircraft, however, served a dual purpose: to pro- vide proficiency flying for offic- ers not attached to squadrons and transportation for other RCAF perscnnel on duty. Mr. McIntosh was a mem- ber of the 1960 defence commit- tee which recommended a de- fence department investigation into flying by senior RCAF of- ficers on full-time ground du- ties. He will likely raise the matter again in this. year's Commons defence committee. An air force spokesman said Monday aircrew officers must keep up their flying proficiency while on ground duties. Many would return to aircrew duties while others required first-hand knowledge of aircraft if they were to judge RCAF equipment needs, To receive flying pay, an of- ficer must log 100 air hours a year. 2nd National NDP Convention Plan Revealed OTTAWA (CP)--The second national convention of the New Democratic Party will be held in Regina Aug. 6-9, party head- quarters announced Monday.
