The second A. E. F. should feel completely at home in Australia, for in no other country will American troops serving overseas find Q popu- lation with characteristics so like their own, say statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany. In language and standard of living, urbanization and occupation of the people, and sex and age com position of the population, the two countries are remarkably similar, though differing greatly in total number.
 While the area of Australia = nearly 3,OO0,O00 square miles - is only slightly less than that of the United States, this country has q population 10 times as large-133,- OOO, 900 against about 7,00O, 900. Not all of the Australian continent is habitable, about one-tl1ird of 1t be- ing practically desert land. The country is highly urbanized. In fact, almost half of the people live In It's six largest cities, and about two- thirds live in urban areas, mainly along the southern and eastern shores. In the United States about 56 per cent of the people live in ur- ban centers of 2,6OO or more popu- lation.
 One-fifth of Australia's hreadwiIl- ners are, in normal times, engaged in agriculture, forestry, and mining More than one quarter of It's occu- pied workers are ordinarily engaged in industrial activities, such as man.
 lfacturing, building, road constguc- ton, etc. Commerce, finance, trans pogtatiOn, and communication give livelihood to about one-flfth Oi the workers. About one of every ]. is employed in personal or domestic service. and an equal proportion iE public administration or profession al work.
 All but a very small percentage ol the Australians are Of British or igin, although within the last tWt decades there have been large num- beFg Of settlers from Italy, Greece and Jugoslavia. It has long beer Australla's policy to restrict the cd. mission of Asiatic and other coloEef immigrants.
 The sex and age composition ol the Australian population is curl Ously like that Of the United States Tn both counties, msles eonstltutl slightly more than half of the pop. uIatlon. The population un9eg z years Of age is about One~thlEd ol the whole ip each ease, and Eb'

 IN RAISE OF PAY

Washington, May l4 (UP) - An overwhelming House vote. 33l to 28, for raising the pay of Army privates and apprentice seamen to $50 a month was expected today to help win Senate support for the in- crease.
 The Senate has approved a boost to $42 a month, and before yester- days House vote had indicated 1t would not approve a higher rate.
 But influential members of the Senate military affairs committee from which will be drawn hte con- frence group, now expressed ap- pFoyaI of the House increase. Some objected to it, but others conceded that the House vote was so large as virtually to assure Senate agTee' ment.

 Naugatuckan HOnOred
(NEA Telephoto)

New Haven, Conn, May 14. = A new Recruiting Board for Medical Officers opened at headquarters of The Connectciut State Medical So- ciety, 258 Church street. New Haven, this week.
 This board, similar to organiza- tions set up in other states, will operate in cooperation with the Procurement and Assignment Serv- ice for Physicians, Dentists and Vet terinarians, has been established under orders from Surgeon General James Magee of the Army.
 The board for Connecticut that is in operation consists of Major Ed ward E. Williams of the Medical Corps, representing the Surgeon General, and Captain Henry F. Moore, of the Coast Artillery, who is the representative of the Adjutant General of the Army. Major Will Hams formerly practiced medicine in Naugatuck before being called to active duty in July, 1o41.
 "This Recruiting board has been set up for the purpose of expediting the selection and commissioning of physicians in the Medical Corps of the Army" said Major Williams. There have been a large number of physicians who have volunteered their services to the Surgeon Gen eral of the Army and there have been so many of these applications that action upon them has been dis tributed among the states in order that the acceptance of the services of these physicians .may be ex- pedited."
 Connecticut has furnished about 100 physicians who are already on active duty and applications are pending from 150 more. During the next few weeks the Medical Officers Recruiting Board expects to have commissions issued for those volun- teers and to receive applications from an additional number of Con- nectciut physicians who wish tc join the armed forces.
 Tn discussing the new Recruiting @SS@AA Ats NkSASAAVOAA 0AAAS4p WAe Director of the Procurment and As- signment Service for Connecticut, said Before final selection, local and hospital inquiries are made to determine if the physicians depart ure from his community will leave place in the provision Of medical care for the civilian population that cannot be filled by someone else The Procurement and Assignment Service has two purposes: CD tC see that the needs for medical of ficers of the military forces ars supplied and (O to safeguard, inso- far as is possible. medical care fol the people at home.

ARSENAL IN HOME
 OF THOMPSON MAN
Conn. Resident Is Charged
 With Backing RevOlu. tiOnary Party in U. s.

msw York, May l4-(UP-A Federal Bureau of Investigation agents affidavitt today accused Anastase A. Vonsiatsky of founding q ~Russian National Revolution arys' party whose purpose is "a military expedition in conjunction with the Japanese and German governments against the present Russian government"
 Vonsiatsky's home at Thompson, Conn, was raided by federal agents Mag g and Q federal grand jury at Hartford, Conn.,, was to begin ex- mination today of records seized there.
 The affidavit was filed by Special Agent J. Raymond Ylitalo in ob- taining search warrants for the rooms of the Rev. Alexander Tzuglevitch, on New York's west side, and T. Savin, in Queens, both described as branch offices of the party. Other branches, according to the warrant, were in San Fran cisco, Los Angeles and Hollywood.
 Ylitalo's affldavit said:
 "The revolutionary party main tains headquarters in the home of its founder, Anastase A. Von- siatsky, in Thompson, Conn.
 Tn that residence are the party records, files, membership lists, all papers and account books relating to the financing of the organiza- ton, military equipment, guns, rifles, ammunition, pistols, tear gas and tear gas equipment, uniforms, military insignia, machines for re- cording speeches and other oral utterances, all of which are used as instruments for violation of fed- eraI laws and, more particularly, for the purposes of melting party members and others to overthrow the present Russian government by force and violence"
 The affidavit said further that Vonsiatsky had shown by state- ments and writings that he has served a foreign government, though he is not registered as a foreign agent.

Mothers whose diets contain foods that are proper in amount and kind are not only giving their children the best possible start on the road to good health, but are helping themselves to avoid some of the illnesses related to pregnancy, Helen L. Johnson, nutritionist, said In the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health.
 The old adage that "the expect ant mother must eat for two" ap- plies mainly to the need for quail lty and the right kinds of food in the diet, she explained. The extra foods needed are protective foods nigh in mineral, vitamin and pro- tein content. Unless physician mas instructed otherwise, the ex- pectant mother needs daily one quart of milk, one egg, large crying of orange, grapefruit or to- natoes, green or yellow vegetable m addition to other fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grain w enriched breads and cereals, lean meat, butter and some source of Fitamin D.
 Miss Johnson pointed out that nearly every day new evidence em- phasizes the importance of diet to growth and development. The foundation for good physical de- velopment begins before birth Bones, teeth and muscle tissues are being formed during the prenatal period.
 The same foods which supply building materials for these tissues before a child is born are equally important throughout life, she said. tn addition to milk, the foundation of all diets, most infants should receive orange or tomato juice and Ash liver oil at two weeks of age. Then, one by one cereals, egg yolk, vegetables and fruits are added. By the second year the child should be eating all nourishing foods that are "musts" for children and adults alike.
 Generally, meals planned with the children in mind can be made equally palatable for adults, accord ing to Miss Johnson. Some adults may insist upon richer, more highly seasoned foods, but a knowledge of food values and careful plan ming will help to make meals suit-

For almost three centuries under Spanish colonial rule revolt was dormant, but. it lowered in 1911 with the example of the English colonies in the New World as in- spiration. First of the Central American colonies to seek tnde- pendence from the mother-land, the next thirty years was time of travail for the little giant, which was to emerge in 1841 to sover- eighty and freedom that never since has been seriously challenged. That spirit of independence dis tinguishes El Salvador in the com- pany of nations today.
 Fl Salvador ranks fourth among the worlds great coffee growers, and the coffee bean adds up to four-fifths of the nation's exports. Figuratively, but quite accurately, coffee is the life blood of the na- tion's economy. Yet it cannot be said to be the whole of Salvadorean industry and productivity.
 An industry unique is the queerly named balSam of Peru, distinctly Salvadorean. Discovered by the 1n- dians, used widely by the Spanish, this balsam is an ointment with natural antiseptic properties that promotes the healing of wounds. It is derived from the sap of a tree that grows only along 8 small stretch of land bordering the Pa cific. The trees cannot be tapped until they are about twenty-five years of age, and the balsam when run is cooked locally in large ves- sels. Thousands of pounds are ex- ported annually.
 Sugar, henequen and rice enter importantly into Fl Salvador's ex- port trade, while corn, beans, millet and some wheat are grown for food. Manufactures, too, steadily expand ing, are almost exclusively for home needs. From it's henequen Fl Sal vador makes its own bags for its

cOHee. fTOm san SalVaQOr, Lne capital, center of industry and commerce, factories are supplying the domestic market with cotton cloth, silk goods, hats, soap, hosiery, shoes, tobacco products and beer. The country still looks to its neigh bors and the United States, how ever, for most of its cotton textiles, iron and steel manufactures, auto- mobiles and trucks, wheat and wheat flour, drugs and medicines.
 The only Central American re- public without Seacoast on the Atlantic, Fl Salvador has a coast line of about 160 miles on the Pa- cific, with La Libertad, Acajutla, and La Union the chief ports. It shares the Gulf of Fonseca, 40 miles wide, with its immediate neighbors, Honduras and Guate- mala. It is land of mountains, hills, rivers and upland plains. Modern in government and oper- ating under a planned economy, for years 1t has been paying special attention to problems of internal transportation. Rail lines from the port of Acajutla and a spendid hard-surfaced highway from La Libertad extend to San Salvador and the interior. Under the gOv- ernment's highway program, the western half of its section of the Pan American Highway, which runs the full length of the country, has been completely hard-surfaced. It links Fl Salvador with Guatemala on the West and Honduras on the East.
 This progressive and democratic member of the New World is but 2,SOO miles from San Francisco mad 3,2OO miles from New York by way of the Panama Canal. Its outlook is as eager and alert as the pilots of the planes which connect it and all its busy centers with the rest of the world.
