Australia May Not
 Take Bridges

SAN FRANCISCO, April-The editor of the Australian Consol- idat d Press Service, Richard Hughes, doubts that Australia will take back Harry Bridges, her native son who made good in the United States, should his de- portation be ordered.
 Deportation proceedings now under way at San Francisco charge that Bridges is or has ben a member of the Commun- ist party. Hughes pointed out that the Communist party has been outlaWed by the Australian government. Said Hughes:
 If the United States proves Bridges was a Communist, Aus tralia will not take him back"
 Hughes left San Francisco for a tour of the United States, after arriving by clipper plane.

New Flying Laboratory
 For The CA

A new, tWin-motored, airline type laboratory plane was added March 21 to the fleet of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, Don aid H. Connolly, Administrator, has announced.
 Tha plane, a Douglas DC-3, powered with two 1900 h.p. en- zines, is strictly of the work horse' variety, with all the fam iliar trimmings of passenger com fort removed, and all its space devoted to crew, observers and test equipment. One of it's prin- cipal jobs will be in keeping the staff of CAA airline and person. nel inspectors abreast of, and, if possible, ahead of developments of all kinds in the rapidly ex- banding aviation field. System atic refreshing of these inspect ors is an essential part of the ser vice, Administrator Connolly ex- plained, since they are required regularly 10 examine and pass up on the qualifications of airline pilots.
 These airline pilots are pro- bably the best group of pilots in the world" the Administrator said, and our inspectors have to be good enough to test them. This requires periodic, specialized and concentrated training of th- in- spectors"
 In its inspection work, the plane will be. flying laboratory, with accomodations for crew of three and 12 inspectors as observ CTS aboard, listening in on the same interphone system. For high-altitude work, each place in the plane has an oxygen outlet and masks are provided Even now, while the plane is going through routine acceptance tests, CAA inspectors are exploring the usefulnsss of certain new naviga- tion instruments in its equip ment.
 This is the first airplane of this size and type to be operated by the CAA, Since it is typical of current airline equipment, it will be used for obj ctive flights to obtain data for regulatory pur- poses, to standardize test pro- cedures and give manufacturers and airline operators opportunity to observe and benefit by careful

EDITORIAL Lest We Forge"

The shocking plight ot London largest city of the world and seat of English civilization-convert- ed into an inferno by renewed overnight Nazi raids drives home the conviction there IS no length to which the would-be m vaders will not go in their efforts to subjugate or extermlnate the defenders of democracy.
 The world still stands aghast at the spectacle of the great city afiame, innumerable magnificent structures destroyed, countless civilians and innocents killed or maimed, hospitals and all places of refuge crowded with suffering victims; and the assailants persist ing in their assaults.
 Sweeping and vicious as the assaults may be, and emminent as the promise of continued at tacks of the kind, the spirit of the indominable Britons is inspir ing. Nowhere out of the chaos is raised a voice for surrender.
 The British knew full well the dangers they faced and the likli hood of renewed assaults with the return of spring. Fighting at a disadvantage and paying the penalty for inadequate prepara- ton for defense, and called upon to meet an implacable foe on many an embattled front, they carry on with characteristic Brit ish bulldog persistence.
 The plodding British may be slow to action, and compelled 10 long endure and muddle through, but they are far from exhausted or dispirited. Composed and calm they are proving they have what 1t takes to mest great crisis. As they suffer many shocking blow their vast resources are being thrown into the fray. Observers predict that given a little more time they will have marshaled their forces and stepped up their air armada to the point where the tide will be turned.
 But the threat of the hour is so grave that nons may predict with certainty what disaster may yet intervene.
 Certain it is that no nation not in accord with totalitarian doc trines, may, in a crisis such as this, call itself safe or exempt from the scourge now being visit ed upon the British isles and thr atening their doom.
 Britain's inadequate prepara- tion is a lesson to the whole dem ocratic world. The Americas may well awaken to this fact and re double their efforts to stay the holocaust.

Jobless Benefits
Denied Miners By
The State Board

The April Coal mine shutdown in
Maryland constituted a labor dispute
and miners who were idle during the
shutdown are therefore not entitled
to unemployment compensation, the
State Board of Review ruled yester-
day.
The board denied the claims of a
number of union members employed
by operators who are members of the
Georges Greek and Upper Potomac
Coal Association.
Most of the mines in the Allegany
and Garrett county area are still
closed because of the unwillingness of
the operators to accept the 81 per day
wage scale as agreed upon for the
district at the national conference.
The old rate was $3.50.
This district has been included in
the northern group of mines but has
had the southern wage scale in
previous contracts. The reason for the
southern wage, the lower scale, has
been that this district is the highest
cost producing area in the east. Many
of the mines in the area are old and
the best coal and the easiest mined
coal has been removed.

Commissioners Name
Hamill as Attorney

At a meeting of the County Com
missioners of Garrett county this
week Stuart F. Hamill was appointed
attorney to the board, a position
which had been vacant since before
the Legislature adjourned.
Benny F. Epstein had been the
boards regularly appointed attorney
for several years, although other at
torneys had been called in to assist
Mr.. Epstein upon several occasions.
The Commissioners also named
Harry Hinebaugh, Roy Sewers, Ju-
niper S. Teats and D. w. Hershberg-
er as constables for the year.
A delegation of miners from the
Shallmar and Vindex mines was be-
fore the commissioners, seeking re-
lief, as the mines in that area have
been shut down for several weeks.
During the recent mine controversy
the Garrett county mines were
shifted from the southern group to
the northern group, causing change
in the coal price and the scale of
wages paid, and because of which the
operators are asserting that they are
not able to operate, except at a loss.
