one of the youngest full colonels in

veteran and a pilot of surprising

Jerry just refused to stand and fight.
The colonel had led more than two

of the record of his group, which

At $4,000 feet the colonel waggled

fighter, who tried to run away and
fight another day. The PAT dives
fast. He caught the Jerry around
5000 feet and gave him a squirt.

bowIes Rules Schools
Must Justify Pleas
For Extra Oil Rations
OPA Administrator Cites
Serious Shortage; Warns
Of Conservation Need

OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles yesterday advised Chairman
D'Alesandro of the House District
Health Subcommittee it was simply
impossible, in view of the Serious"
fuel oil shortage, to grant additional
allotments to all schools.
However, he continued, any school
that can show substantial change
IN circumstances since the date Of
the original application for fuel oil
may apply for a new ration on the
basis of new conditions, this to be
considered by the local ration board.
His statement was in reply to
queries from Mr.. D'Alesandro re-
garding st. Dominic's School,. Sixth
and E streets S.W., closed temporar-
lily last week for lack of fuel oil.
Schools Must Share Cut.
Mr.. Bowles, while voicing SYM
pathy for the difficulties facing the
schools, said the OPA felt that in
view of the drastically curtailed
supply for civilian use which imposes
reduction on all heating users
OF fuel oil, it was necessary for
schools to share in the general cur
tailment.
He suggested schools could save
fuel by various means, including
closing of nonessential activities;
cutting off auditoriums, gymnasiums
and other portions of buildings not
used for basic education; transfer
OF classes to coai-heated buildings;
and temporary closing of schools in
cold weather and using spring and
summer vacation periods to make
up time SO lost.
Have Larger Rations.
Mr.. Bowles added that schools
had available considerably more
fuel Oil this winter than during the
preceding one.
I'VE are still confronted with a
very serious fuel oil shortage he
said. particularly on the East
| Coast, and stocks are in most in
stances still below minimum operat-
ing requirements.
Provision has been made for
handling cases of sick and infirm
persons, and for children under four
years of age in school or orphan
age, or for the care of persons in
home for the aged. Much as we
would like to iberalize our program,
it would be simply impossible, In the
light of existing supplies, to make
provision for additional oil for all
schools"

1t. Walker is a prisoner of war. The
chances are he is just that, and that
In the melee with group of ME
l09s he was able to leave his plane
and parachute to earth, to spend the
rest of the war in q German prison
camp.
1t. Walker attended George Wash
ington High School at Alexandria
Va, and attended the University OF
Maryland for two and half years
Flying his plane Pew, he earned the
Air Medal and an Oak Leaf Cluster
Escorted Bombers.
Early in February he went out on
. ramrod, which in Air Force par
lance means hight flight escorting
bombers. There were plenty of his
PAT pals along, and they flew a
tight formation thousands of feet
above Germany, daring the Luft-
waite to come up and fight. Cross
ing the coast of Holland the flax
came up, brown and lethal, as the
Jerry radar picked up the bomber
flight and its escorting fighters
They few on through the brown
bursts. FLAX seldom bothers the
high airmen. They crossed part of
Holland and flew over the Zuider
Zee and veered south over Belgium
and Northern France.
Jerry usually concentrates on the
bombers and leaves the fighters
strictly alone. He has learned by
sad experience the wallop q PAT
packs in its stingers, the eight So
caliber machine guns which poke
out from the leading edge Of the
wing.
This time the Jerry fighters were
little less cautious than usual.
They didn't make the usual pass at
the bombers and then run away
from the fighters. One got on the
tail of the plane flown by member
of 1t. Walkers flight. The Ameri-
can boy went into violent evasive
tactics, spiraling downward to throw
the ME of the blind spot.
Walker saw the situation and
flung himself down from Is 900 feet,

Calls for Study Of
Welfare Needs
Commissioners Are Urged
To Appoint Committee
Of Citizens for Survey

The Family and Child Welfare
Committee of the Council of Social
Agencies today requested the Board
Of Public Welfare and the Com
missioners to appoint a committee
Of prominent citizens to study public
welfare needs in the District and to
make recommendations for its ad-
ministration to Congress.
They suggested the Commissioners
select two committee members, the
Board of Public Welfare two, and
welfare and civic groups in the COM
munity at large 9 to Is members.
Pending completion of the inves-
tigation, it was recommended that
q bill before Congress which would
make the Welfare Board advisory
and transfer its administrative
authority to the Commissioners be
held up.
Discuss Advisory Board.
The action, which was taken at
. meeting yesterday at the YWCA,
followed discussion on whether
the District should have an advisory
administrative board of public well
fare. The speakers included A.
Harding Paul, board member; Irwin
Bryan, who spoke in the absence of
Richmond B. Keech, corporation
counsel, and j. Milton Patterson,
president of the American Public
Welfare Association and director of
the Maryland State Department of
Public Welfare.

Mr.. Paul said there should be fur
ther study of the public welfare pro-
gram by duly appointed commit
tee and amendments to present leg
islation TO make the board wholly

field

of public welfare in the District.
Citizens of the District, who are
In the unique position of having
no vote, have favored an admins
trative board which is in close touch
with community needs and inter-
ests, he asserted.
Favors Proposal.
Speaking in favor of the COM
missioner's proposal, Mr. Bryan
pointed out that If the Commits
sioners were delegated administra-
tive powers the people of the Dis
trict could more easily place respon-
sibility for poor administration.
II some welfare matters are un-
satisfactory the public will know In
whose face TO shake its fingers" he
added.
AS outlined by Mr. Bryan the
pending bill will transfer all ad-
mlnistrative duties from the Board
OF Public Welfare to the Commits
sioners, create department of pub
lie welfare, heads of which would
be appointed by the Commissioners
and delegate to the Board of Public
Welfare only advisory and visitoria.

But looking ahead to the grim

vide a physical and psychological
basis for learning the rough-and-
