Ever slam a B-17 into the ground with only the pilot aboard? Not likely, because only one man has done these things. He is Paul Mantz, senior partner of Tallmantz Aviation, Inc., who is still introduced as "owner of the world's seventh largest Air Force(485 war surplus planes he bought in 1947). Paul Mantz at 57 has done morethings, flown more miles, and won as many or more prizes than most fellow flyers. Today the world's top aerial film director, he has a string of "firsts" to his credit that instills a feeling of awe inthe beholder. He's the only flyer to win the Bendix Trophy three times in a row. He holds several transcontinental speed records, plusthe world's record for 46 consecutive outside loops in a stock plane---set 30 .years ago. Mantz with a team of coworkers flew into Beale June 23 in his modified B-25 "winged camera platform". They willbe at this Strategic Air Command(SAC) base for about 12 days photographing air-to-air sequences for the forthcoming Universal-International film, "A Gathering of Eagles", starring Rock Hudson. Flags surrounding a bright colored world painted on each side of the plane's fuselage show the places seen and photographed recently for Darryl Zanuck. The plane has figured prominently in such eyeconsuming motion pictures as those shown at Disneyland atthe Pacific T ele phone exhibit called "Circurama”, and inthe Disney "Grand Canyon” picture. Ray Fernstrom, who flew with Mantz to do the Grand Canyon photography; here with him for the air-to-air
sequences for the Hudson picture, said, "At times I thought Paul was going to use the plane as a submarine, That's how close the river looked in the camera viewfinder, “ The intrepid precision pilot (Mantz dislikes the expression "stunt" pilot) directed the aerial photography in such Cinerama giants as "Seven Wonders of the World’, This picture required flights which totaled up five months and72,000 miles zigzagging around the earth. His most recent globe-circling venture was with the “Deluxe Tour" produced by Zanuck. A stickler for detail, Mantz has built or restored antique planes such as World War I Spads and Fokkers, The Spirit of St. Louis in the recent Trophies Lindbergh movie of that name was a Mantz plane authentic down to the last inch of strut wire. Mantz did the aerial motion picture direction on "Strategic Air Command", “Twelve O'Clock High" (in which he did the feat of piloting aB-17, usually aten man crew is aboard, into a crash breakup landing), and "The Spirit of St. Louis”. He brings to "A Gathering of Eagles", his second film about SAC, all of the vital enthusiasm which has supplied movie goers with thrills for some 30 years. Though he has flown airplanes through open hangers, leaped from burning planes, had overzealous movie " powder men" set off dynamite too soon in "bombing sequences, and had his antique aircraft knocked apart in the air, he has been injured only once. He. got a broken collar bone on the ground when a crashlanded plane turned on him as he was running from it.

GRASS VALLEY--Dr. George ‘Sweeney » staff member.at DeWitt State Hospital, told Grass Valley Lions that one out of every ten persons will be ina mentaF hospital at some time during their life. Dr, Sweeney admitted that attempts to cure mental illness had poor results, but that the record since the war was one of improvement in the ‘treatment of patients. He urged more use of general hospitals in the treatment of mentalillness. Contrasting a DeWitt ward of 60 beds in which the average Stay is three months, Dr, Sweeney told of a Zeneral hospital with 50 beds for mental patients where the average stay was three weeks and nine -tenths of the patients were out in less than average ‘time, The doctor forecast the day will come when state hospitals will be handling only intensive treatment ofacute cases and chronic cases which cannot be handled at the community level, Use of community mental health clinics working with local doctors was also a re~ commendation for areas with: 50,000 population.
