NEW RECRUITING
 OFFICER NAMED

Chief Specialist Charles c. Broug- ham, veteran of 15 years of Naval service, has been placed in charge of the local Navy recruiting station in the post office building. Chief Brougham has been on duty both on the sea and ashore during his extensive naval career.
 The new local crecruiter pointed out today that many opportunities are offered by The Navy for men of the area. He said the need for radio technicians is especially great now, and openings exist in many other fields. Numerous advantages will be open to Navy men in the postwar period, the recruiter added, in urg- ing interested Waterburians to call at the office for further information.

 '"The bogey man of weather i. losing his grip" the 30-year-olt veteran of IS years of flying said The more you fly weather, the les: terror it holds. Soon no flights vii, be cancelled because of it."
 For II months Buck has piloted g Flying Fortress, equipped with spec ial gadgets to chronicle the weather and static details within storms. He was assigned to the job when it was contracted to VIVA by the Army. He works out of Wright Field, Dayton O.
 Alaska To Labrador
 Buck and his crew are men al ways on the go. In those Il month; they have flown in Alaska, over al the 48 states and to Labrador and Newfoundland. They have stuck the nose of their plane into thunder storms and hurricanes and through snow.
 The armed forces needed detaili of the instance of static in storm because it plotted out radio direc tion and communication equip ment. Buck went up to get thu data.
 He said he believed static woulC not bother the postwar airlines a' they operate those 365 days year
 Despite his years of flying, thu Westfield, N. J., flier said he called himself "doggoned fool" when ht took over the assignment last No vember. Now he talks of the '.fint static" he found in storm. un. consciously applying an adjective that most pilots would never ust in such connection.
 Midwest Storms Worst
 '"The granddaddy of all storms so far as turbulence is concerned is the Midwestern thunderstorm, he said. That last big hurricanI which struck the East Coast wa simple compared to 8 thunder. storm out here. Florida thunder storms look tough but they art mere 'sissies' for turbulence"
 He flew twice through the hurri. cane. He has cut through thunder storms from a few hundred fee altitude to 36,000 feet. The pur suit of the wandering storms ha taken him II 1,O00 miles.
 ''The best static we have fount was within 300 miles of Kansal City," he said, ''in a thunderstorm between Chicago and Kirksyille Mo"
 When other planes hug tn, ground, Buck and his crew climl aboard their big ship and chas the storm center. They have baf fled airport weathermen from Nom to Miami by rubbing their hand gleefully when they get bad weathe reports.
 Can Go Up Any Time
 They haunt airport meteorolo gists for reports, making hour b. hour checks when a storm is build ing up. They carry credentials per. mitting them to take off at an! and all times, just in case somt official feels like locking them uI and calling the nut house.
 Buck began flying when he wa. IS. In 1886, he raised the non-stor worlds record flight distance fol lightweight planes when he flew from Burbank, Cal, to Columbus O., skidding in on the belly because he'd dropped the landing gear al Burbank. When he was 16, he brokt the junior transcontinental speed record. 1!

DOCTORS ASKED
 TO HELP ITALY.
Professor CastigIiOni of. Yale Issues Appeal for
 Medical Equipment

Professor Arturo Castiglioni, of the Yale University Medical School, a political refugee from Italy, is eri- listing the doctors of America in q drive to aid the needy people of liberated Italy. This was announced today by Judge Jlivenal Marchisio, president of American Relief for Italy, Inc, 2 Broadway.
 Professor Castiglioni is forming this medical adjunct of American Relief for Italy, Inc, so that doc-' tors through the country can con tribute medical supplies and surgi- cal instruments to be shipped over- seas.
 Before coming to the United Professor Castiglioni was member of the faculty at the University o1 Padua. He served also as a mem-t Der of the High Council in Romes which laid down the health policies for all of Italy.
 In 1883 he accepted an invitation from Johns Hopkins University and spent three months there as visiting professor. Tn 1887, he accepted 2 similar invitation from Yale Uni.' versity.
 Two years later, because he had refused to join the Fascist Party, Professor Castiglioni was compelled to resign from the University of Padua. In November of that year. he escaped from Italy and came to the United States. Subsequently, he was given a chair at Yale Univer- sity. .
 we have a great need of medical supplies in Italy," Professor Cos- tiglioni declared. '"There is need for bandages, medical instruments and remedies, such as insult nand iodine I ask the doctors of America to cor"' tribute what they can of these I1e-' cessities. Medicine is human. That is it's purpose. l appeal to all doc- tors, regardless of political or So- cial differences, to help the people of liberated Italy. These eople moi only need food, but they need medi. cine, too"
 Professor Castiglioni is famous in international professional circles | for the medical books he has writ- ten. He published a number of them in Italy and also has written sev- eral since his arrival in the United States. His books have been dis tributed widely throughout Europe, the United States and Latin America. i. | On April 10, Professor Castigliont was honored at the Hotel Waldorf Astoria, when leaders of medicine feted him at a dinner on his roth birthday. American Relief for Italy, Inc, member of the National War Fund, is the only agency certified by the Presidents War Relief Control Board, to send food, clothing and medical supplies to liberated Italy. |

JOBS for 55,OOO,OOO

N x A

5000. 900 jobs to fnd--to sbe exact, !. .40o,0 900 minus 4.5O0,0OO equals g. 90O,OO0.
 The CED. however, in its report compiled by Prof. A. D. Fl. Kaplan of the University of Denver's De- pertinent of Economies, says that peacetime placement must be pro- vided for about seven millions. NO AUTOMATIC SHIFT
 Study of the report indicates that this large differential arises out of the reasonable conclusion that many of the 11,100,0O now making civilian-type goods, and performing civilian type services but for war purposes, will not shift automatically to civilian production but will be thrown out of work. And also that at least some of the emer- gency labor force-houSewives youths, the elderly-will succeed in holding jobs that otherwise would go to other employables.
 Only part of this displacement will come with the fall of Germany. The best estimates available place the number who will be looking for en1- ployment soon after Hitler'S col lapse at about five millions perhaps million soldiers discharged from the e0Army plus some four million war workers turned loose by contract cancellations.
 These five millions can easily be absorbed. Their services are badly needed. But they can't be put to work until factories are able to start making consumer goods in place of the armaments and munitions that we shall no longer require.

Regardless of the outcome OF

has hitherto been free from the
hateful class divisions which have
wrecked free government in other
lands. Men have been free 10 make
their own political decisions with
out coercion from any source. This

American system"
And Maurice Franks, editor OF
The Railroad Yardmasters OF North
America writes;
1T is an absolute insult TO the
intellect and independence OF the
American workman, whether union
lied or not, to be treated as though
he were a slave; something to be
bought and sold at price. The
| price that the labor leaders have
for this bill OF goods is patronage,
not mainly for the rank and file,
but patronage for these politically
minded labor leaders.
The patronage OF the CLIO. con-
sists in absolute faithful support
Of its activities by government ag'
encies in return for its efforts to
deliver the labor vote. II does not
matter whether plant Is vital to
the war or whether its industrial
relations are sound or whether the
employees desire to belong to this
or that union. All that matters is
that the CLIO. has expressed a
wish and government agencies per-
form.
II is difficult to believe that this
should be so in the United States
where government Is presumed to
be by law and not by the whimsical
tiles OF politicians. Yet, the fact
stands that this action in Weirton
represents nothing more than an
other evidence that the CLIO. hav
