vI-a.COFFEY FLIGHT SCHOOL DONE?CHICAGO. April 2. (ANP)—The Coffey School of Aeronautics, where many Negroes have been trained this week faces the danger of being closed.The well-known aviatrix, Willa B. Brown, perhaps the only woman in the United States heading such an institution, went to Washington where she *sought in vain to save the pioneer school.The public grew apprehensive about the school a few weeks agowhen CAA announced a new armycadet training program. The Coffey school was not numbered |among more than 500 approved schools. However, it was then the optimistic thought that the school would be placed on the approved list as soon as the government supplied other equipment. War authorities claimed that the school was doing far more training than the program required.R. McLean Stewart and John P. Morris of the’CAA claim that the school must be approved by the war department before entranceinto the army cadet program.Luther Smith of the war department said, however, that approvalis left with Stewart and Morris.
