AMERICAN BOMBER BASE
Italy (By wireless).-- The combat
crews here don't like the Army All
Corps song any more. There is g
revealing clue as to their psychol-
ogy.
In those faraway days when they
were training back home they got q
big thrill singing about what they
were going to do in the wide blue
yonder." Today, faced with the
realities of combat flying over Eur
ope, now, in other words, that they
are actually doing it, living in fame
or going down in flame are not the
popular subjects for public expires
sion that they used to be.
With the possible exception of a
very few remarkable individuals
the biggest thing in their lives now
is the will to survive. There is nc
question about it. That, of course, is
no reflection on their courage. They
know they have a job to do. They
are doing it-not as fanatics but as
brave men-and they will see it
through. 1t does explain, however,
why there is so little swagger left in
them.
Have Seen Others Die.
Nor is there anything remarkable
about it. These men don't spend a
lot of time figuring out their chances
of going back home at the end OF
their stints. But they can't help
getting pretty accurate idea OF
what those chances are when they
see how many of their friends don't
go home. The idea they get is not
conducive to- swagger.
They are very frank about this
Yesterday I talked to the crew OF
one Of the Liberators which was
being warmed up before taking of
on a mission. I asked one of the
boys what he did on the ship.
Sir" he said. "as soon as we take
off I get behind one of the waist
guns and start to shake. When we
get over the target I pray. That's
what do on this ship"
He was not being funny. He was
just telling me.
OF course, the traditional bravado
of the Air Corps is not entirely
missing. It carries on in the form
of humor. incidentally, the more
thoughtful of them say they have
a much better sense of humor with
regard to their jobs than they had
in the blue yonder" days.

BarkIey Says Bone
|WiII Quit Senate AffeI
He Leaves Hospital
Ry the Associated Press.

Majority Leader Barkley advised
the Senate yesterday that the resig-
nation Of Senator Bone, Democrat,
OF Washington to accept Federal
judgeship to which he was ap-
pointed April / depends on the time
required to cure a leg injury for
which he is under treatment at the
Naval Medical Center, Bethesda,
Md.
Senator Barkley read a memo
randum from Senator Bones secre-
tary after Acting Minority Leader
White told the Senate that Senator
Bone should accept the judgeship
promptly in order that his "ju-
dicial obligations should not be SUBJ
ordinated = to the exipencies
of political life"
After reading statement from
Senator Bone asserting "I am going
to be in the hospital for an in
definite period" and adding "my
plans after that are to be deter
mined" Senator Barkley quoted the
Senator's secretary as saying:
Attention should be called to the
fact that If he (Senator Bone) were
now to take the judgeship and &c
out to San Francisco, he would have
to enter a hospital there for treat
ment similar to that he is receiving
here. He thinks it Is best to take
care Of his physical condition now
In the hope that permanent cure
will be effected"
White Sees Breach of Faith.
Taking notice of what he said
were "rumors" that Senator Bone
would delay his resignation from
the Senate, thereby blocking ap-
pointment of Republican successor.
Senator White declared Republicans
consented to Senator Bones i'm
mediate confirmation three weeks
ago to the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals bench in the expectation
that he would assume the judge
ship at once.
The comfy which should exist
between the sides of this chamber
and the courtesy, one to the other
which should distinguish our re-
lationships, require that full faith
and credit shall be given by all of
us to understandings whether they
be found in written or spoken words
or in course of events" Senator
White said.
Vandenberg Comments.
Failure in the present circum-
stances to assume this judicial posi-
ton as soon as practicable, would
regard as a default of this obliga-
ton"
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
OF Michigan said, however, his own
complete confidence" in Senator
Bones integrity was such that he
had gotten direct word to the SEN
ator in the knowledge that the latter
would clear up the entire contro-
versy."
IF I correctly understand his at
titude," Senator Vandenberg as
serted, when his recovery permits,
he intends to expedite completion
OF his work here and proceed within
reasonable time to his new assign
ment."

EVANGELIsTs REMAIN

ity in the administration of Alaska fisheries.
 6. The bill still contains the pro-
 vision for judicial review to be had
 only in the United States Court of
 Appeals for the District of Columbia
 or the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
 The ordinary fisherman would find
 it difficult indeed to invoke the power and authority of either of
 the courts mentioned The judicial review should be had in the dis trict court of the Territory of Alas ka, which is available to every AL aska resident. The exclusion of the district court of Alaska from the courts having authority for judicial review is another proof, if one were needed, that the whole bill is ori- ented around the idea that theAl- aska fisheries should be controlled from Seattle or San Francisco and that no Alaskan should have any thing to say about them.
 '. The unjustly oppressive ele-I ment or existing law providing for the seizure and forfeiture of fish ing boats and fishing gear has been carried forward in s. 93O as re- ported without satisfactory change. In any general revision of the AL aska fisheries law, we should end once and for all the features of ex- isting law under which a fisher mans boat and gear may be seized and held for forfeiture in the dis trict cOurt-perhaps for the entire fishing season-without any con vietion or even trial of the alleged 1. criminal offense involved. To so seize and forfeit fishing boats and gear, even after conviction of crime. is questionable upon grounds of justice; but to permit the seizure and holding for forfeiture prior to conviction of crime and under cir which may deprive the of the use of his boat md gear for the entire season can lot be defended.

 herit. Tn fact. there is sound req
 son in law and in equity why if a
 lease is granted, the heirs should in-
 herit. Otherwise. there should be no
 lease in the first instance. The lang
 uage of the report on this portion
 or the bill reinforces the conclusion
 that the entire measure is really written around the proposal to create vested permanent interests. all but perpetual, in fish traps and fish trap sites
 g. The bill as reported still con tains the ambiguous and therefore objectionable language providing for forfeiture of permits and leases for what is called in the bill "abuse of the fishing privilege" Nowhere in the law can be found any definition of what can be considered "abuse of the fishing privilege" and, there fore. the use of that term, which may mean one thing to one person and quite another thing to another, opens the door wide to arbitrary ac- tion on the part of administrative authority and is almost certain to lead to prolonged and extensive lit igation. It is conceivable that the holder of the permit to fish with a seine, if the bill is enacted will be considered to have abused the fishing privilege if he as much as speaks disrespectfully to someone in authority. I purposely take an eX- treme case as an example because no person in the whole wide world can even guess in advance how that particular phrase will be construed, either by the administrative offi-i cials or by the courts.
 A. The bill contains no provision whatever which will safeguard res idents of Alaska as against the more clamorous and often more influen- tial residents of the States who en- gage in fishing in Alaska. Our ex- perience in the past has shown the need of some protection for resi- dents of the Territory. Any sugges- tion that authority should be giv- en, even though indirectly and per haps with risk, for the protection of residents of Alaska is dismissed in , the report as an undesirable lad ministrative social economic reor- ganization of the industry"
 5. The provision Of the original bill for the creation of what is | called the Alaska Fishery Re- view Board" remains unchanged. | The Board will consist of three members and two alternates, and 1t is provided that "one of such mem- bers and one alternate shall be sel- ected by employees engaged in the Alaskan fishing industry, and one of such members and one alternate shall be selected by the employers engaged in the Alaska fishing in- dustry, pursuant to such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior shall prescribe in order to make | such selection reasonably represent ative." Under this language, unless the Secretary, himself, insists that one or both of the advisory mem | bers be residents of Alaska, it is all but certain that both of them will be non-residents of Alaska. h. deed, it is hard to escape the con- clusion that the bill was drawn with the purpose in view of com pletely excluding residents of Alas ka from any position of responsibil- l

Hospital Aide Tells
Of Army's Course
For Hard Of Hearing

A young veteran with a worried
expression approached a policeman
OIL a street corner.
Pardon me, officer" he said,
"but I'm in an awful fix. The bat
terry in my hearing aid has gone
dead, and I'm on the way to see
my girl. Do YOU have your fash
light with your"
The policeman handed over a
fashlight battery, and the veteran
went on. his way with his second
ears" intact again.
This incident was related by
Betty G. Wright, director of field
service, American Society for the
Hard of Hearing, in talk last
night before the Washington So
ciety for Hard of Hearing, to illus
trate the progress made by Army
and Navy hospitals in averting "old
fashioned sensitivity" in servicemen
who have lost their hearing.
At the meeting, the first held in
Washington by the society during
National Hearing Week, Miss
Wright spoke of her experiences in
four months work with the hard Of
hearing in military hospitals.
The final test of the mans re-
-------vation will come when he gets
back home" she declared. Il
think We who are hard of hearing
have something to teach him, and
that is, it is up to us to put hearing
persons at ease with u.s."

Roosevelt Hotel Strike
Ends; Terms Disputed

The nine-day strike at the Roose-
velt Hotel ended yesterday when
four American Federation of Labor
unions agreed to withdraw their
pickets and ask the National Labor
Relations Board for an election to
determine their right to represent
the hotel employees as collective
bargaining agents, the War Labor
Board announced.
A WLB spokesman said the hotel
had agreed to re-employ at once
approximately 40 workers who
walked out and promised to rehtre
eight mattresses who also walked
out as soon as work can be pro-
vided for them.
L. A, Scott, hotel controller, said
last night that the striking en-
ployes would be taken back, but
denied they numbered 40. THE
figure is ridiculous" he said Only
handful of employees was in
volved."
He also said the eight mattresses
definitely" would not be rehired,
explaining they were temporary
employees and there was no work
for them now.
The union said strikers included
maids, bellboys, elevator operators,
