Liquor Bonus
Called Politics

Announcement by the state
liquor commission that small bars
would be given a bonus allotment
of whisky prompted Cyril Bevan,
Democratic national committee
man, to charge today that the
move is an attempt by the Re-
publican state administration to
garner votes in the November
election.
The bonus. according TO COM
mission chairman William p. Ed
mondson, would amount 10 10000
cases and 60 10 about 1000 bars
which have been limited by quota
TO fewer than nine cases a week.
Edmondson said there would be
no increase in the allotment to
Individual permit holders because
the supply was too limited for dis
tribution through state stores and
SDDs.

ALDERMEN'S IDEA
 FAILS TO CLICK
Police Board Fails to En. thuse Over Proposed
 Shelter Plan

The proposal by the board of Al: dermen for the establishment of shelters where Servlcemen may wat to be picked up by motorists, was viewed with SniSgivings by the poe lice board yesterday,
 The board expressed fear that the city, by establishing such shelters, might be held liable If Q service hitch -hiker assaulted c niotoriSt who gave him . ride.
 The project had the same recep- ton when it came before the park board Tuesday. The aldermen had voted to ask both boards to desig. nate spots where such shelters could be erected; the park board to erect them, and the police to erect signs telling motorists that servicen1en were waiting there for rides.
 The police board yesterday voted to refer the matter back to the board of aldermen aSking that board to take the responsibility and to lot the park board deslgnate the places and erect the signs, if the aldermen still wish to have such places eStah. lished.

FIGHTER PILOTS CHASE GERMANS
 INTO HANGARS

washington, Sept. 7-.Cup)-Amer- ioan Eighth Air Force fighter pilots always get their man, even if they have to follow him back to the hangar.
 That's the story Col. Oscar H, Coen, veteran of three and one half years of air warfare, told when he came back from Europe,
 "The Eighth Air Force fighter pilots have a reputation among the Germans for fighting them all the way back Into their hangars before breaking off the scrap" Coen said, "Our fighter pilots are so anxious to tangle with the Germans that they have to be restrained from taking risks"
 Coen warned not to underestimate the German air force, "They may not have RS many good pilots as they once had, but they still have some good fighters"
 Twelve to l6 German fighters will break into formation of heavy bombers and brave their concentrat- cd air power. The American fighter planes come right in to shoot up the Germans while the bomber forma- ton continues on its run,
 Pack Chased Back
 Coen told how this happened once when he was protecting an Ameri- can bomber formation on Q mission to the Hanover area, When they got over their target, 60 to 60 German ME-l09s came down on the bomb- CTS. The fight was carried on right In the bomber formation, Fourteen of the Messerschmitts were knocked out before the pack was chased back to their hangars,
 Coen was 0 member of the Amer lean Eagle Squadron of the Royal Air Force before he was transferred to the Eighth Air Force P-47 fight CT group in September, i942, Alto. gether, he has flown S20 sorties in 600 hours of operational combat time, Ills record: three and one half planes destroyed, three prohahles, and five damaged,
 His last assignment was in the fighter control section, to act as liaison officer between the Eighth Air Force fighter command and headquarters.

washington, September .. = Friends Of Julius A, Krug, new acting chairman of the War Pro- duetlon Board say that he is one of the lNeklest guys in the world he can fall uphill three steps at Q time, he gets promoted over the heads of other people three jobs at O time, and when he plays poker he stays in to see the last card, nearly always to come out Q winner at the end of the evening.
 Krug's friends qualify this by saying that cap" doesn't believe in his luck, or rely on it, or bluff his way through anything. Always he knows what he's doing and has the stuff to back up his decisions, But luck plays into his hands,
 Take the matter of his selection to head WIPE after the Nelson- wilson feud, He had just come back from France, where he had made Q survey of electric power resources for the power division of WIPE, He was having lunch at Washlngton's s Metropolitan Club, telling some of his associates about what he had seen in France, When Q page called him to the phone, he left the table to hear Q voice he didn't recognize bid him Q hearty welcome, how was he, and would be come right overP FDR CALLING
 Who was calling, Krug wanted to know When he was told 1t was the President, you could have knocked over his six-foot 200- pound hulk with on electric charge of extremely low voltage, Next thing he knew, he had been offered the top job at the very battle-d damaged War Production Board.
 Five months before, Krug had rec signed from the combined jobs of Director of War Utilities, Vic- Chairman of Program Planning and Chairman of the Requirements

o0lved from tle President direct thlu explAnAtion of the whale Waiince fight at chicago.
 FpR said he he'd been for Wal lace 100 percent, that Wailace had been his first candidate, just as he had told Governor Arnaii several weeks before Chicago. However. the President continued no had allowed Bob Hannegan, chairman os the Democratic National oolitinltteU and others asaoclated with Earno. gan, Co sell him on the idea that wallace had no political strength end couldn't make tho gfado In the convention. So the President, bowing to HannegAn's political Judgment gave him, together with Mayer Kelly and I'd Flynn, pretty much the green light to 60 ahead.
 The pfesldent implied, without saying 30 in exactly these words, that if he had known, how much strength wallace had, he would mol have yielded to 1fannegan at all
 This explanation differs somewhat from the story Of those who were on the Inside at chicago and participat. cd in telephone calls between FOR and the party bosses. There was no doubt in their minds that the Presl- dent, ct that point in the fight, was SOO percent for Senator Truman and pulling wires for him. This, of course, was after Fannegan ct Al. had done their sales job,
 NoTE:-puring the Chicago oon- yention, Hannogan caFno to Governor Arnall, begged, pleaded that he switch the 0eorglA delegation to Truman, saying FDR was definitely for Truman, not for Wallace. Arnall, who had heard Roosevelt express himself for Wallace several weeks before tho convention, replid: ''Hlith- or the President is the biggest sap in the country or you are Q Tier, And I don't think the President is Q sap" So oecrgia didn't desert Wallace.

 Krug came to Washington a' power consultant in the old Office of Production Management, WpB't predecessor, and he moved up ir the organization in the usual Krue -steps-at-a-time manner.
 His whole background and OK. perienee is in power and public utilities, He came to Washington from the job of power manager for the Tennessee Valley Authority Tn that job, he did most of the ne' gotlatinv with Wendell Willlkie fol sale of Commonwealth and South ernS Tennessee Electric Power properties to IVA,
 KNOWS HIS POWER
 Krug has been all through the publie-vs, private power contro' versy, and he has been damned by both sides as Q champion oi government.owned power and a' Q tool of the utilities, When IVA was on the griddle before joint congressional Investigating conn mittee, Krug testified for Q week but the committee never crossed him up once. He knew his power and that experience taught him how to handle himself h . government brawl.
 AS Director of Utilities in WIPE Krug was able to organize botf public and private power re- sources and get them working to- gether to generate enough power to carry the war production load There has been no u. s, electric power shortage, as krug sale there would not be, in spite oi the dire predictions of many falSt prophets in the utilities field.
 If 1t be argued that experienced in the electric power business alonC hardly fits c young man to carry the load of boss over all war pro- duotion, it can be answered witf tho contention that the electrit power business gets Into every typC of manufacturing and service in duStry and that 6 power manager has to know the workings of then all. Nrug's admirers claim tha' he knows just that - in addition to which he knows his way around Washington, which is requisite num- Der one.
