This caused little easier breath ing in those aeronautical circles that feared the appointment of a traffic cop for the skyways would wreck the private flying as well as the civilian pilot training program
 that vast reservoir out of which the Army and Navy are drawing so many of their flying ca e ts. Whether it is complete solution remains to be seen.
 It, doesn't eliminate one of the Armys chief grouches, namely that secret air maneuvers are handicapped by civilian flying. A secret maneuver can't very well be secret if the Army has to notify dozens of airport dispatchers just what it plans to do and when.
 It is believed, however, that stratification of traffic on 30,000- mile skyway network will simplify matters not only for the flyers but for those men who keep the radio beams buzzing in the nations 400 range stations.
 How the whole thing started isn't positive, but in recent weeks a lot of stories have been drifting into Washington about congestion as result of military aviation. One such was that of kittenish Army pilot, tail man in formation flight had decided to practice an Immelman turn on the tail of .

 Any mention of traffic jam cn the highways of the air at this point, however. is especially amus- ing in view of what Charles Stan ton, Deputy Administrator of the Civilian Aeronautics Authority, once told rne.5i xateI4 o9ncETads
 Our program and our plans here are not just aimed at next week or even next year We are looking forward to the day when the United States will have 3o0,- GOO to 500,00O airplanes. That's just about one plane for every 60 autos, which certainly isn't too much tc expect On that basis, within 25- mile radius of New York City. there would be 50,000 planes. And when that time comes, we will be ready to handle the situation with- out any complications"
 So these are just the horse and buggy days of aviation.

WANTS NO SUCH MAN

I voted for Wendell Willkie
Just like I said l would;
When I learned more about him
I found he was no good.
He's just a bundle of bable,
Of nonsence stuff is he
We don't want no such man
For any high official
In the grand old G. o. P.
After the close of the Convention
He said he'd sleep one hundred hours,
We don't want any such sleepy-head
To be among the powers.
Just staunch new-dealer,
Is what he seems to be
And we don't want such man
For any high official
In the grand old G.. O. P.
He made trip to England
To learn the chance for war.
When he found it was favorable
He joined his friend F. D. r.
Churchill, Roosevelt and Willkie
Put their heads together to push us
in the fight,
AS everybody now can see,
And we don't want no such man
For any high official
In the grand old G. o. p.
Now we'll say goodbye to Willkie
And think of him no more,
Well put him in the shade to sleep,
Between nineteen forty-four.
He's no fit man for President
AS the nation now we'll knows,

THE SMALL-TOwN EDITOR

(To small-town editors in general,
and to the hometown editor in par
ticular, these lines are respectfully
dedicated.)
When you get the county paper; pub
lished weekly in your town,
And you start to look it over; scan
ming columns up and down;
Reading all the local items, and the
news from near and far;
Do you ever think, l wonder, of the
hard pressed editor?
He is really very human; makes mis-
takes like you and I,
Yet, though ours may be hidden; his
results in printers pi.
Misspelled words, and transposed
lines, and other type mistakes,
Aren't jokes to him at all,-they
cause him real headaches.
He spends long hours at his desk,
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1941-09-12

when he could take his ease,
To turn out editorials he fondly hopes
will please;
Some will slap him on the back and
tell him they are fine,
While some will call it "drival," and
"just waste of time"
He rounds up all the news he can, and
often yearns for more;-
Sometimes, to fill the paper up is
really quite chore;
Or else the items come so fast a few
he must omit
And when he does, you may be sure
some reader has a fit!
Mrs. Perkins city guests, and Mrs.
Smiths "affair."
Must get an equal write-up, or they'll
be in his hair;
When Farmer Brown had pigs to sell
and advertised the same,
And no one came to buy his pigs
the paper got the blame!
One subscriber bursts into the office
in a rage
Because an item he'd sent in was on
an inside page;
Another one was just as mad, because
the front page stressed
An escapade he'd figured in-and
should have been suppressed!
What really cheers the editor, and
brightens up his day,
Is when somebody comes in and says,
81 want to pay
My over due subscription, and an ex-
ira year as well."-
And exclaimed as he is leaving, Gee,
I think your papers SWELL"
You'll always find some people who
knock the hometown sheet,
While there are many others who say
it can't be beat!
And so it goes; the editor has many
ups and downs,
Who tries to please the kind of folk
populate small towns.

Though your goods are overdue,
For month or maybe two,

These are facts-we tell no lies.

All our work is now uphill,
So your order, we're afraid,

Well fill your order bye and bye.

SATISFACTION AT
THE SPEED OF
THE COMMISSION


pressed by Governor O'Conor with the
full-speed operations of the State
Roads Commission in it's efforts to
improve Maryland's roads to a point
where they equal in every way the
finest of any State.
The Governors complete approval
was voiced after he had received a
report from Ezra B. Whitman, Chair
man of the State Roads Commission,
showing that $5,3OO,OOO in construc-
ton contracts had been awarded dur
ing the four-month period just ended,
and that bids for $672,O0O in addition
al highway work are now being
awaited.
"While the report shows a most
satisfactory speed-up of functioning
by the State Roads Commission"
the Governor said, sit is at the same
time a reminder of the great amount
of work facing the administration in
all sections of the State as the re-
suit of the let-down in construction
and improvements during the years
preceding this administration.
with the State Roads Commission
now working at full speed, 1 have
every hope that the coming eighteen
months will witness tremendous i'm
provement in the Maryland system
of roads, in addition to what already
has been accomplished, to a point
where we again will compare favor
ably in this respect with other states
in the Union"
The work now in progress, and the
program contemplated in the imme
date future, is the largest amount
of work ever undertaken in the State
during a similar period, the Governor
pointed out.
"The $6,O0O,000 represented in the
program during the past four months
include important road projects in
connection with the defense plants
and various parts of the State.
Among the largest of the projects
are the road improvements near the
Glenn L. Martin plant, totaling $780,
900 have been awarded, and the ap-
preaching roads to the Ocean City
bridge to cost $453,000.
Zone of the most satisfactory fea-
lures of the summary is the indication
that so many sections of the State
are represented. In Calvert County,
for instance, the Neutrality-suspicious.
Frederick new construction, totaling
more than four miles will entail an
expenditure of $336,OOO. A total of
$2O5,656 has been allotted for new
construction on the Littlestown Pike,
in Carroll County, and $408,486, for
new dual road from Antietam Creek
to Cannon Avenue, Hagerstown.
approximately $1,0O0,000 is be-
ing spent in eliminating grade cross
ings at Landover, Branchville and
Jessups, thus not only adding greatly
to the convenience of motorists, but
also throwing much-needed safe
guards around traffic at these i'm
portant points.
"In addition to the grade crossing
examinations at Jessups, costing $780,
544, an additional $127,458 is in
volved in the improvements to the
Jessups-Waterloo Road. In Southern
Maryland, improvements of the road
from Newburg to Aliens Fresh will
cost $234,188, with an additional
$3O6,050 for construction from Aliens
Fresh to Chapel Point road.
"In Caroline County, the Federals-
burg Bridgeville contraction will cost
$7O,278, and the approach to Dover
Bridge $4,000. Finishing touches to

Edgar Brown Makes Plea
For Skilled Workers In
Natl Defense Program
BY Staff Correspondent

washington, May lb-Edgar u.
Brown, president of the United
Government Employees, and d.
rector of the National Negro
Council, Monday placed tIafore the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee plan to reduce non-de-
Tense spending through removal
of skilled Negro workers on W.
P. A. and place them auong with
others now unemployed in defense
jobs. He also expressed opposi-
tion to general sales tax to
meet increasing defense OUTLAWS.
Mr.. Brown, in a prepared state
ment, went some distance in de-
failing the system essential to re-
ducing non-defense spending in
the amount $1,000, 900, 900 as pro-
posed a few days ago by Treasury
Secretary Morgenthau. He ey-
planned that the Ways and Means
Committee had the power to write
into the tax legislation provisions
for indiscriminate employment of
workers needed in the defense
program.
CITES NEWSPAPER OPINION
Editorials and special articles by
the Negro and White press were
referred to by Mr.. Brown to bear
out his views. He cited an edi-
torial, "Aliens Throw Bombs, Ne
groes Seek to Fight" by Dean
Gordon B. Hancock, of the Vlr-
einia Union College of Richmond,
which appeared in the Cleveland
Call Post, published in Cleveland,
Ohio.
"These foreign elements that
this nation has taken to its bo-
som and set to its heavy laden
tables of opportunity--while the
Negro had to wait for the crumbs
writes Dean Hancock" are
showing how little they appreciate
their high estate. The Negro,
fed on crumbs, is pressing for an
opportunity to defend these
crumbs and the country That pro-
vided them............
