302nd OPS BLOCK
By Cpl E. G. Quinn

The Base gym was the scene of our squadron party last Friday evening. Much in evidence were the lovely girls sent by the USO, the wives and gal friends of the lads, and a grand group of Wacs. The festive board fairly groaned with good things to eat supplied by the mess personnel, and the Bradley Field Band played as I've never heard them play before. Our thanks to any and all who helped to make the party the success that it was.
 In line with squadron activities was the Suffield Memorial Day parade, to which we contributed our bit. Helmets, cartridge belts and suntans were the order of the day, and, according to officials who reviewed the parade, we did extremely well. .:.-. s.=

He said there are more than u.s.
900 applications for refund now
pending before the Civil Service
Commission, and that they are COM
ing IN at the rate of more than 5000
a day. They are being held up
largely for computation of interest,
he said.
"The interesting thing about it is
that the interest items are so small
that one-third Of them get less than
3 cents interest, more than half, S
cents or less-in fact only 10 per
cent get Is cents or more" said Mr.
Rees, ranking minority member Of
the House Civil Service Committee
1T costs about so cents to analyze
each account, so the Government
is spending thousands of dollars tc
analyze these accounts and is en-
ploying a flock of arithmeticians
and mathematicians, who are figur-

Appeals Court Curbs
Sub|eftinq by Tenants

The Municipal Court of Appeals
ruled yesterday that the Emergency
Rent Act does not give tenants the
right to sublet if no provision is
made for subletting in the lease.
Affirming decision in favor of the
Westchester Apartments against
Mrs. Eva Heroes, who had sublet an
apartment which she herself rented
from month to month, the appellate
court said:
The purpose of the Rent Act was
to protect the tenants possession
and not to give to the tenant the
means of subletting which the
tenant did not previously have. Any
other conclusion would lead to the
absurd and unreasonable result that
a series of unwanted and even un-
desirable tenants could be thrust
upon the landlord so long as the
Rent Act is effective"

Barriers 10 Sedition Trial
OF 80 Cleared by RuIinq

Obstacles to the trial OF 30 rer-
sons indicted here January 3 on a
charge of conspiracy to establish a
Nazi form of government in the
United States we're removed yester-
day when Chief Justice Edward C.
Eicher Of District Court overruled
several demurrers filed by the de-
PENDANTS which had attacked the
validity of the indictment. Justice
Eicher upheld the validity Of the
indictment as drawn.
He ruled that "the Governments
case on the merits is contingent on
its ability to prove the conspiracy"
Careful consideration of the in
dictment as whole conylnces that
1t is not so vague or uncertain as
to make it vulnerable to demurrer
or motion to quash," he said.
The next move scheduled in con-
necticn with the indictment is a
hearing set for March Is on mo-
tions for bills of particulars which
ask that the Government outline
in greater detail che alleged offense
charged. Tentative date for trial
of the 30 persons indicted is March
20.
With the appearance in District
Court today of Franz K. Ferenz of
Los Angeles, who pleaded not guilty
before Justice Eicher, the pleas of
all those indicted were completed.
Ferenz was described by the JUS
tice Department at the time the
indictment was returned as having
been active in the Friends of Prog
ress, distributing Nazi propaganda
films. He is now serving a sentence
for violation Of the California anti
subversive laws.
