Ex>Federation Delegate
Writes of War Experiences
By CAMBRIDGE CRIsT.

AS the Federation of Citizens As
sociations brought to a climax its
$1,000 War bond rally last night
in the Departmental Auditorium,
many of the delegates probably were
thinking of one of their former col
leagues, Capt. Henry L. Colman of
American University Park.
Last month Mrs. Colman pre-
sented to the Federation the key of
the bomb which had been given the
name Federation of Citizens As
sociations" and which was dropped
by Capt. Colman's squadron in
North Africa on Marshall Rommels
Afrika Korps. Capt. Colman, one of
the first pilots to 60 overseas in
1917, went on active duty with fhe
Army Air Forces in April, 1912, and
went overseas last July.
His letters to his family tell pretty
graphically Of the hsrdships of des-
ert fighting. Here are a few ex-
cerpts from the letters:
December, 1942-"Hen couldn't de-
scribe the experiences of the past
10 days-cold, wind, rain, mud,
everything that goes to make life
miserable, and even with this not
moment to spare. Believe me,
the boys in our squadron have got
what it takes to keep going when
the odds are against them. be-
lieve we were the first American
troops to set foot on captured Axis
soil for keeps and we are mighty
proud of it,"
February, volunteered to

master plan for the field included
dual runways. He said that al
though it was not thought neces-
sary to have dual runways when the
airport was built, traffic had in
creased materially since the field
was opened two years ago.
In his testimony before the sub
committee, William A. M. Burden,
special aviation assistant to the Sec
retary of Commerce, said
More than half of the traffic Cat
the Washington National Airport)
consists of military aircraft. I am
not permitted to be specific about
the actual Army and Navy opera
tions which are based on this air
port. but I can say that there are
54 buildings on the property being
used by the Air Transport COM
mand and that Army and Navy
routes radiate from here to more
than one battlefront abroad"
Mr.. Groves held forth the possi-
bility that an airfield might be lin
tied to a particular type of traffic.
One airport, he explained, might
be used by private and itinerant
planes, while another might be used
as a freight terminal. He said
freight planes already are run to
relieve space in regular ships.
Mr.. Stanton said that although
it was possible to anticipate future
plans, 1t was not always possible to
receive funds from the various
sources involved to carry them out.
He was quick to add, however, that
up to the present we've had no
encouragement"

Asked by Representative Carter,
Republican, of California if he con-
sidered it possibility that another
airport will have to be developed In
this vicinity, Mr.. Stanton answered:
Locations Are Planned.
"Yes, sir; and we have already
planned the proper locations for
these airports, so as to make the
traffic as interchangeable as pos
sible. That is true not only of
Washington, but of New York, Chi
cago. San Francisco, Los Angeles
and many other heavy traffic
points"

take anything for the experience.
We went by jeep and it took four
days for the trip. Not sign of life,
not even weed or blade of grass;
hot during the day and cold at
night; passed areas of sand, then Of
rocks. Mirages in most any direc-
ton, which look like lakes and
harbors and which are nothing upon
the arrival at the spot. Not drop
of water for more than a hundred
miles outside that which we took
with us. AS there were only five in
the party we didn't need much and
you would be amazed at the little
we get along on"
March-"I sure have covered
more ground than ever in my life
before and had some experiences
that I don't care to have repeated,
but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Right now we are in the midst of
one of the worst sandstorms we
have had out here and it seems to
be coming from the direction of the
Sahara, a great many miles away.
I expect the tent to 90 any minute,
although she is we'll dug in. There
she goes. Two days later.
Well, you should have seen the mess
that storm made. All our large tents
went down, too. I was almost beat
to death by the one that came down
over me-"
Capt. Colman, a native of Wash
ington, was twice president of Amer
ican University Park Association.
He was an organizer and president
of the Northwest Council of Citi-
zens' Associations and had served
as delegate to the Federation and

war, said yesterday he could not see
single airport taking care of more
than 20 planes In and 20 planes out
during one hour in bad weather with
the use of instruments.
He pointed out that as in other
types of travel there are certain
desirable hours. so that there are
two or three periods when schedules
are at maximum. When schedules
pick up, he said, you will have to
have" another airport. The addi-
tional airport, he continued, should
be to IL miles away from the
present airport to permit maneuver-
ing of planes with instruments.
Air Travel to Grow.
Mr.. Stanton said that he had no
specific sites in mind tor Washing
ton, but suggested that new airports
should be on the same side of the
river as the present National Air
port so that with good connecting
roads through areas of slight con-
gestion, it would be possible to
transfer passengers in 10 or 20
minutes.
Speaking of the hourly limitation
of 20 or 80 planes that can land and
take off at single airport, Mr..
Stanton told the subcommittee:
1--WE envision airplane traffic to
Washington and to a dozen or more
other cities to go way beyond that
very shortly after the war. The only
solution to that is, think, the same
solution that you have in congested
railroad terminals, more tracks to
terminate your operation on. BY
more tracks applied to airplanes, I
mean that there will have to be
additional airports. You cannot ex-
pand single airport to keep taking

Army Efforts Pledged
In Finding Jobs for ,
Soldiers After War =.
Patterson Proposes Use !
Of Draft in Reverse /
As Placement Agency /
BY TIE Associated Press


CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-Proposing a
postwar selective service system "in
reverse" to operate as a iob-place-
nent agency. Undersecretary of War
Robert P Patterson promised last
night the Army would do it's best
to see no man is mustered ont of
military ranks into breadline."
There will be millions of men TO
demobilize. Mr.. Patterson said IN a.
speech before the Neurological In =!
stitute of Northwestern University6
and, although the Army alone can
not guarantee civilian jobs for! all
OF them, 1t does intend to make tthe
transfer to civilian life with as little
economic dislocation as possible.
I'VE may be a war-weary reopzc'
by the time We have shattered the
Axis" he said. There will be an
urge to let down after the fast pace
we maintained to win this war, to
dump men willy-nilly back into
civilian life, to let them find a Job
as best they can and where trey can.x
Won't Take Easy Way. I
But the Army will not take thata
easy way. It's responsibility is tooi
great. AS say, we will try to main
tain selective service system in \
reverse. 1t worked well in mobiliza-
ton. 1t should work equally we'll
when we select men for return to
civil life"
Mr.. Patterson explained that War
Department records catalogue each
man according to occupation or
profession. and the rehabilitation
plan would be to inform men about
to leave the Army of job opportu-
mites in their own field-'it would be
up to them, of course, whether thev
cared to take advantage of it."
Turning to current problems. Mr..
Patterson asserted that American
manufacturers have only begun to
produce" and cited some statistics
on war costs:
The Quartermaster Corps spends
S440 on each soldier his first year
5000 for food, the balance for
clothing and barracks equipment, not
weapons or ammunition.
$4,000 Machine Guns in Year.
This country produced $4,000
machine guns in the first year of
war-and '50-caliber machine gun
costs $3.50; a .30-caliber gun, $3.50;
a heavy bomber costs $3.50, 900; a
bomber, $l1o,ooo a fighter
plane, $4,000.
The cost of such items in mass
production was not known when the
war began, he said, and manufac-
turing experience has resulted In
extensive renegotiation of contracts
TO bring down the total outlay. When
the Army first ordered one of its
arge bombers, he said, it was esti-
mated 10000 man-hours of labor
would be needed on each plane.
Actually 1t is being built now with
% 900 man-hours.
