Air Forces Band Plays
Third Water Gate Concert

Continuing its Sunday night pro-
grams at the Water Gate, the Army
Air Force Band played its third con-
cert last night to an audience num-
bering into the thousands. Capt.
George S. Howard. conductor of the
band. has a happy faculty Of pro-
gram arranging whereby classical
numbers and those in more popular
vein stand side by side in perfect
harmony. One of the hits among
last nights numbers was Ravel's
"Bolero" which displayed the skilled
playing OF the group. Hadley's I'm
Bohemia" Bach's "Praeludium and
Fugue in G Major" and works by
Prokofleff and Shostakovich shared
the audiences favor equally with
Hosmer's Southern Rhapsody" 4"
Drigo's "Valse Bluette" and the
medley Of popular tunes and the
100-piece swing bands number with
which the program closed.
Guest soloist of this program was
Helen Olheim, mezzo-soprano Of
the Metropolitan Opera. Choosing
from her operatic repertoire the
"Habanera" and "Seguidilla" from
Carmen" and MY Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice" from Saint-Saens'
Samson and Delila," her rich,
powerful voice was heard to equal
advantage in such favorites as
DHardelot's Because" and Grieg's
MY Johann" Encores by the soloist
and the band heightened the pro-
gram considerably.

Ford Plant Strikers
Returning 10 Work

after a strike threatened idleness
for $4,000 workers.
A regional War Labor Board di-
rective for resumption of work was
accepted at a mass meeting yester-
day of members of Local 400, United
Automobile Workers (CIOO, who
walked out Friday.
An undetermined number Of en-
ployes failed to report for the night
shift last night, but the company
reported majority" of day-shift
workers came back to the job this
morning.
Richard T. Leonard, the UAW-
CLOS national Ford director, said
the strikers returned with reluc-
tance because of resentment" over
the company's attitude toward
grievances. In appeals Friday night
and Saturday, Mr.. Leonard had
failed to win an assent to resume
work
The union claimed accumulated
grievances covering wages and
alleged seniority violations. The
company said it was given no ex-
planation for the strike.
Approximately 5000 employees
were affected at the Highland Park
plant. More than $4,000 would have
been idle had the Ford Rouge Air
craft and Willow Run bomber
plants, dependent on Highland Park
for parts. been forced to close.

The aerial system-built for air

The largest item listed in the pur-
chase price is $31,311,196 for the

New Study Of Labor
'Spurred by Growing
Signs Of Break in War
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Prospects of an early peace in Eu-
rope spurred the Government to a
fresh study Of its wage controls to-
day and some officials agreed that
labor leaders, too, may find it ex-
pedient to take stock Of their cam
paign to break the Little Steel for
mula.
These officials feel that the fall
Of Germany will throw wage sta
bilization into q new phase. War
Labor Board decisions on key wage
cases are hardly likely before Octo-
ber. European victory before then,
followed by cutbacks and a loose
labor market, might wash out these
cases. even though 1t would create
q host of new problems.
The WLB has begun conversations
with a view to preparing for such
an impact. Under consideration is
a proposal that the President re-
convene the Industry-Labor Con-
ference Immediately upon the fall
Of Germany. This conference would
attempt to work out a new basis
Of industrial peace to carry the Ma
ton through the Pacific war and
the entire reconversion period.
The possible alternatives, some
officials say, are wage cuts, wide
spread strikes and collapse of the
War Labor Board by the withdrawal
Of either industry or labor.

NEW YORK, Aug. %. - John
Thompson, correspondent for tho
Chicago Tribune and Mutual Broad
casting System, yesterday reported
in a broadcast from Paris that
Bernard Fay. world-famed historian
and former faculty member of Har-
ward and Northwestern Universities,
had been arrested as a Na1 collab-
orationist by French Forces of the
Interior.
Fay was appointed by Pierre Laval
in 194l as director of the French
National Library. In that capacity,
according to Mr.. Thompson, he
opened secret archives dating back
to the World War which contained
information about Freemasonry,
often used as fuel for the Nazi
propaganda machine.
Mr.. Thompson said Sascha Guitry,
French actor and playwright, also
had been arrested on charges Of

for the first time, girl smoking

were horrified.
Hunted for Fight.
One would never have suspected
that Pfc. Podlaha was pugnacious.
Small and Of Bohemian extraction,
he was always good natured and
smiling. But his small body was
a mask for a fierce belligerence.
One afternoon he came up to me
and said, Let's you and me get a
pass and 60 into town tonight.
Maybe We'll run into q fight"
There were 80 different tastes for
diversion among the 80 men of the
company. Pfc. Nasett, for instance,
had a prediction for the shadowy
corners of Montmartre. On evenings
when he had franc or two he
could always be found around Place
"Pig-Ally." There was also q large
clientele for the Bal Tabarin among
the boys.
However, the 30 of us were almost
unanimous on hot cakes for Sum-
day morning breakfast at the
Knights of Columbus snack bar.
And what hot cakes! 1t was popular
on Sunday afternoons to attend
the concerts in the Tuileries gar
dens. Military bands alternated in
the programs. And they all spe-
cialized in the hit number of that
time, "'N' Everything"
There were devious duties for mo-
torcycle riders in the French capi-
tai. During the 10 months I was
stationed there I was assigned to
most of them. Once I was deliver
ing mail to various Offices and one
letter was addressed to a person
with French name. 1t was ad-
dressed to a firm that ended with
ct Gle, which indicated that it was
French firm. The firm was To-
Gated in an Office building that had
no indication Of American tenants.
I barged into the Office and said to
the nearest man that saw in my
halting French: "Est-ce-que vous
peux moi dire ou je peux trouvez"-
when he broke in to ask in utter
astonishment, What in the hell are
you talking about?"
Our town house In the Rue de
Ranelagh was too good to last long
It didn't. We were moved bag and
baggage to the Chchy Motor Truck
park. Nobody was satisfied with the
change except Nasett. Clichy was
closer to Montmartre. 1t became
the custom for the boys on duty
to meet at the Hotel Crillon after
the days work was over and race
back to camp. My motorcycle never
had horn and the brakes never
worked. I always brought up the
rear.
When any Of the boys were caught
in town without transportation or
funds there was a stock trick to
work on the cab drivers. The fare
would direct the driver to Neuilly
and when he slowed down for the
bridge over the Seine, he would
open the door, leap out and dash
for the gates Of the camp about a
half block away. He would be safely
inside before the hacker could turn
around and overtake him.

$4,000 Visit Capitol
On First Full Sunday
Opening Since War

The Capitol was the busiest place
in~Washington yesterday as crowds
estimated at more than 10000
jammed the halls Of Congress for
the first all-day Sunday opening
since the war.
Capt. Roy w. Brown of the Cap
itol Police, who visited the build
tngs during the day. said the ro-
.tunda and Statuary Hall were filled
and the halls were so packed that
It was dificult to get through the
building
He said it was one of the largest
crowds he had ever seen on Capitol
Hill, but that 1t was exceptionally
orderly and there was no evidences
Of souvenir hunting.
50 Per Cent Service Personnel.
Capt. Brown estimated that ap-
proximately so per cent of the crowd
consisted Of service personnel, in
Guiding number of servicemen
from other countries.
While admittance to the Capitol
was free, those who wanted guide
service had to pay fee unless they
were in uniform. A large per-
centage Of those visiting the Cap
itol paid the fee so they could take
the escorted tour.
Maury Maverick, chairman Of the
Smaller War Plants Corp. and ad-
vocate of Sunday openings and sal
aried guides, visited the Capitol
during the day and offered a num-
Der of suggestions.
Salaries Are Suggested.
He contended that the guides
should be given salaries and work
ing conditions under civil service
standards and put into uniform and
suggested that one or two guides
should be stationed at a point near
the dome with a loud-speaker te
explain the symbols in the dome
and the Capitol generally, giving 8
flve-minute talk every half hour.
Other guides could be stationed
at the House and Senate ends OF
the building to answer questions and
explain points of interest after the
preliminary talk in the rotunda.
He also advocated setting up q
canteen on the grass between the
Capitol and Library of Congress for
the convenience Of servicemen and
having band play patriotic and
religious music outside the Capitol
beginning at noon Sundays.
He recommended the return of
the Constitution and the Declara-
tion of Independence to public view
in the Library of Congress. with a
military guard Of honor stationed
at these points Of interest. The
former legislator said he saw no
security reasons for keeping the two
documents in hiding" now.
Mr.. Maverick explained that his
interest in Sunday openings, a guide
service available to all, the historic
documents on view and the other
steps he is recommending were all
part of his interest in making Cap
ltol Hill center for the cultural as
well as political life of the Nation.

themes from the "Dumbarton Oaks

The selections which Mrs. Roberts
and Mr.. Chanaka played with ana
lytical insight and sympathetic un-
derstanding consisted Of the Not
