|. |. Roberts of MiroW Service Returns Nome

F. E. Roberts, manager of the Mirow Air Service returned to Nome Friday evening via Anchor age from an extended business trip which took him toWashing- ton. D. C.
 At the national capital MT Ro- berts conferred with the head quarters of the Civil Aeronautics Authority concerning company mail contracts, their proposed certificates of convenience to op- crate schedule airlines through out Alaska; and information con- carning the operation and main- tenance of radio stations in con- nection with the airline's routine business.
 From there he returned to Cal ifornia and while at San Fran cisco purchased a Stinson Reliant four-place monoplane which was shipped by boat from Seat tie to southwestern Alaska. The plane is expected to be flown into Nome this week, he said from Anchorage.
 Discussing business. in general Mir. Roberts said: With the great influx of returning miners and business people from the States during the next three months the MiroW Air Service expects to have in operation over the Nome Anchorage air route their tri- motored Stinson and Lockheed Vega planes after April 1st.
 The Lockheed, a six-passen- ger plane has been on this route all winter and has justified the company's bid for permanent es- tablishment of the Nome-Anchor age airline"
 Before returning to Alaska" said MT. Roberts, ''I talked to representative agents and manag CTS of travel bureaus along the West Coast and in the east. They informed me that they are de- luged with requests for informa- tion concerning travel routes, costs acomodations and scenic at fractions in Alaska. This they be lieve is due largely to the fact that with Europe closed to Ameri can travellers, they are turning their attention to Alaska as a place to visit and spend their vacations"
 With respect to mining on our own section of Alaska, I find that the operators are all actively in- terested in going ahead with de- velopment work and production; and it looks good for Nome" said MT. Roberts.

Individual Soldiers
Must Know Battle Problems

Organization and training of the
man power of the country for COM
bat presents even a more difficult
problem than the production Of mu-
nitions, according to 1t. Gen. Hugh
A. Drum, commander of the First
Army, which is scheduled to have
three weeks of maneuvers in North
ern New York State next month.
The training will embrace the Reg
ular Army, National Guard and Re-
serve Corps officers.
FAing this field service, which
will perhaps only include one week
of actual large-scale operations, the
Army observers will have an op-
porunity to determine how much
more training the forces involved
need in order to make them equal
to modern-day combat conditions
1t may indicate that the combined
forces may need considerable more
time in the field under actual sim
llated war conditions, with large
forces working as a coherent whole.
There is possibility that the mill
tary experts may point to the need
of additional field service for the
Guard forces, but this in point raises
the question as to how much of the
time of these civilian soldiers can
be taken, involving as it does re-
lease from their civilian employ
ment.
After two weeks in the field last
year, which, up to that time, had
been the usual training period, the
War Department ordered the Guard
into the field for another week Of
duty durirg the winter.
Gen. Drum pointed out that in
dividual efficiency of the soldier is
not enough in modern combat. Sue
cess in battle, he said, demands that
the training comprehend every ele-
ment in co-ordinated, well-bal-
anced field force. He. added that
the whole team from the single
rif1eman, gunner and aviator
through the whole hierarchy of Or
ganization to the high commander
should be trained as a unit and
have the same conceptions and
practice the same methods with
mutual understanding Ald cooper
alton. He said that individual skill
must be joined to team efficiency.
The understanding CT the battle
problems Of the day, he asserted,
must be extended on down to the
enlisted man. All ranks, he said.
require some general knowledge of
the conduct Of battle and the forms
and methods followed.

looked like the end of $4,000 worth
of effort. The mothers refused to
be defeated. They organized in Sep
tember, 1889, into the Association for
Education of Handicapped Chill
dren and began, under the lead
ership of Mrs. Odetta O'Hara, to
wage vigorous campaign for pub
lie support. Delegations called on
w. P. A. officials and finally, with
the cooperation of school officials,
another project was prepared. The
mothers watched it go from desk to
desk in the Government procedure
and sent letter to President Roose-
velt urging him to sign the authori-
zation. 1t was approved-this time
a $4,000 project, because rates Of
pay had risen.
The mothers knew this stop gap
would be the last and they banded
together to carry the fight to the
Capitol in the 1941 District budget
hearings last March. Mrs. O'Hara
and Others, appeared at the hearings
with shut-in girl on a stretcher
who pleaded for educational facil-
tiles for her group.
When the bill was reported to the
House it contained a $4,000 item
for this work, but under the Board
of Public Welfare instead of the
Board of Education Everybody was
surprised. including members of both
boards-the one that had asked and
not received and the other which
had received without asking the
project for benefit of handicapped
children.
The mothers, knowing that
s29 900 project could not be taken
over for $4,000, went to the Senate
about it. The Senate increased the
amount to s22 ,400-a figure asked by
the Board of Education and placed
1t under that board. But the bill
came out of conference and was
signed by the President with Welfare
Board jurisdiction of $4,000 worth
OF education for shut-ins.
Welfare Director Bondy said he
would try to do the best he could
with it. The school officials were
disappointed, but promised CO.
operation. The idea seemed to be
that 1t would be cheaper to get
teachers at $50 a month from the
relief rolls than to pay them 1.4o0
year under the school teachers,
salary scales.
Mr.. Bondy is seeking to arrange a
program for the shut-ins as soon Is
possible. For the present the School
Board will provide for the handi-
capped children who can get to
school-the Allison School at Thir-
teenth and Allison streets which is
to be remodeled-and the Board of
Public Welfare will provide teachers
for the shut-ins. Meanwhile, SUM-
porters for the education of crippled
children are still hoping that some
DAY the educational forces Of the
District will be permitted to carry
on a program as is done in other
cities.
