Why NOT Fight Puy?
a INTENTION! MIR BEALL:

ATTENTION! MR. BEALL:
wonder how many of our mem
bers of Congress have given seri-
Gus thought to the question OF
fight pay for men in battle. Very
lew, is our guess.
Yet, considering the question
from all angles, there is as much
logic in fight pay as there is for
flight pay.
This column does not, under any
observation. belittle or advocate a
cut in servicemen's pay. We do adj
vocate an increase for the boy on
the bottom, the infantry private
and his fellow fighters, in the front
line.
Present regulations give all men
going overseas a 20 per cent In
crease in pay for foreign service.
That is as it should be. With this
20 per cent increase, members OF
the air force receive an additional
so per cent for combat duty That
also is as it should be. The sacri-
fees endured and the dangers 10 be
confronted. make them eligible for
all that a grateful country can give
them; 20 per cent above their base
pay for combat service is none too
much for the wreckers of Berlin or
Tokyo.
But 10 get back to the men in
the infantry. There are no better
fighters anywhere. These men on
combat duty really undergo the
hardships of the damned. Grabbing

and sliding over the muck and
slime of Italy, are given only 20
per cent more pay.
Their brothers in Australia and
England, on many islands, great
many out of earshot of rifle fire,
are also given the 20 per cent for
foreign service. This columnist
thinks that there should be CLASH
fcation called Flight Pay" for
those who go into actual combat
with the enemy. Surely there is a
great difference in being compelled
to find sleep with the roar of heavy
guns cannonading all night, In
Italy for instance, and in the still
ness Of night that prevails in the
countryside which is England.
Records can be kept of actual
front-line fighters, and then when
relieved, or otherwise brought to
the rear, they can be paid an addi-
tional so per cent OF base pay for a
job we'll done.
The members Of the Air Corps,
already beneficiaries of the so per
cent additional combat pay, are SOL
diers only, trying to get this job
over with in the shortest time pos
sible, and their brothers on the
field, who must gain ground and
keep on gaining, are also soldiers
in combat, and as such are just
as important as the men in the air.
So let's do away with this parts

needed than unity In the ranks OF
labor at this time, and especially
with national election coming up
this fall.
After the beating labor has taken
on all sides during the past fifteen
months, IL Is evident that there
must be a marshalling Of labor's
forces to meet the threat that en-
dangers all the humanitarian gains
Of labor over the past IL years.
There are men In the halls Of
Congress that are gloating wildly
over their ability to harness labor
and It's leaders, and make them
like IL. There should be no delay

IDENTIFY the city officials now realize
that there is a chance that the
national offices of OPA will well
come. and in fact solicit munich
pal legislation on the subject.
The secretary of the Labor Unity
Conference, in a recent statement
pointed out that Newark, New
Jersey. was the most recent addl-
ton to the list of communities
adopting the ordinance. Forty
leaders of local groups, embody-
ing labor, fraternal. civic and pro-
fessional organizations, appeared
to speak for the ordinance. Mayor
Murphy recommended adoption
saying it was the duty Of the city
to assist the Federal government
in maintaining price control.
Will Cumberland officials see
the wisdom Of such action? Again
we ask favorable action.

The place Of the Labor Unity
Conference lii the field of labor
in Western Maryland, has been
clearly demonstrated during the
past few weeks, and 1t all stems
from the present battle between
the Conference and city officials
on the passage of an OPA price
control ordinance.
At one of the sessions Of the
Mayor and City Council, the
ordinance was sidetracked with
the remark that the measure did
not have the full support of local
unions. Immediately several Of
the largest local unions, as well
as the CLIO Council and the Allie
gany Trades Council, sent letters
to the City Fathers, asking that
immediate action be taken to
approve the ordinance. The
Boilermakers, ALL; Laundry
Workers, with a petition contain
Ing SO names, CLIO; Rubber
Workers, CLIO; Transfers, ALL;
Textile Workers, CLIO; Shop
Crafts, ALL; and several other
groups joined in asking favorable
action on the measure.
In the meantime press battle
has been going on between the city
officials and the labor spokesman,
and at last report, the city law
makers filed the requests of local
labor organizations until the proper
information can be secured. Evil

NEA StaH COFreSpOnUcnL A Liberator Base in England, March 13-The mud is as thick and sticky as it was in France in 1918. There is the same penetrating driz- gle, and the tiny stoves are just as ineffective against the damp chill Dispersed over the hard stands" are the giant Liberators ready for the take-off.
 All during the night, engineers and armorers have been going over them to discover any possible de- fleets in engines or guns, and ord nance men have been filling their unsuitable bellies with bombs.
 There is a note of menacing mys- tery about the scene. Fantastic shadows melt into the surrounding blackness as bare-handed, bundled figures move in and out of the glare of dimmed searchlightS while work ing in the biting cold on these huge carriers of destruction.
 MISSION REVEALED
 Early in the morning trucks begin carrying plane crews to large Mis- sen hut in which the brief1ing Sta- tion is set up. Hanging on one wall of the arched room is map. Facing it are benches arranged in rows. Here the crews sit while the officer at the head of S2 explains their mis- sion and the routes they are to fly.
 When the brief1ng is completed, the men pass into an adjoining hut to put on their flying paraphernalia Long rows of lockers fill the dimly lighted room, and while jokes are cracked and stories interchanged dressing for combat begins. This is no simple process. For there are blue, electrically heated undergar- ments to be struggled into. There are fleece lined leather jackets to go over the flying suits, and anti hak vests over these. Also clod- hopper-or cloud ud-hopper-shoes, OK ygen masks or gloves. Parachutes must be strapped on and leather helmets with their earphones mus be adjusted.

 TAKEOFFS RECORDED
 The first plane roars down the runway and Hickey is told the time of it's departure. He shouts this out as he hears 1t and it is immediately written on the blackboard on which the planes numbers and pilots are already chalked. In rapid succession the planes take off. Whizzing by the control tower come the Wolf Pack Ice Cold Katie, Doll Baby, Consol- idated Mess, Sleepless Knight and others with equally droll names.
 Suddenly the loud speaker blares that the last plane off is leaking gas and is coming back. Watts and Hickey snap switches and give di- rections over phone and microphone The others in the room either rush to balcony or press close to the windows. But the runway has been cleared and the plane lands without mishap.
 At last, all have left for the rem dezvous where they will take up formation with other squadrons from other bases. Then, with fight CT protection, they will make for the target somewhere over Germany

 While the men are getting ready the planes also are being looked af- ter. Engines roar as the heating-up process starts. Trucks rumble up to bombers and unload the flyers At the same time, members of the ground crews, many of whom have been up most of the night, begin to congregate around the control tow- CT. Ambulances and fire trucks also draw up, ready for any eventuality

Standing before a table on which are loud speakers and switchboards are S/Sgt. Llewellyn Watts of Shreve- port, La., and Pfc. James Hickey of Irvington, N. Y.

Horace Heidt's new radio program, "Heidt Time For Hires," heard every Monday night over WATR the Blue Network, has taken on the task of getting jobs for honorably discharg- ed service men, and there's an in- teresting story as to how the idea first started.
 In June of 1943, Heidt and his or- chestra were making personal ap- pearance in Chicago when young soldier came up on the stage and asked if he could sing a song. Heidt agreed, and when the boy had fin ished the audience nearly tore down the house with their applause and cheers. Heidt was so impressed that he told the boy to keep in touch with him, and when he was dis charged from the Army, to join the band as a regular member.
 Four months later the same boy. now in civilian clothes, and with an honorable discharge from the Army, approached Heidt in New York and told him he was ready to go to work. Heidt immediately put him on his radio program, and the fan mail began to pour in. That eX- soldier boy is Bob Matthews, and today hundreds of fan clubs and thousands of pieces of fan mail each week testify to his popular ity.
 Grins almost as wide as his own will spread across the nation on Thursday nights starting March g when Joe E. Brown, the movies mouthful of mirth, launches his first stellar radio series. A comical quiz with a brand new approach, it's called Stop or Co.," and will be aired from Hollywood at 10:30 e.w.t. over coast-to-coast Blue network.
 In addition to the novel quiz idea, the weekly half hour will spotlight the most famous stage and screen personalities in guest star appear anceS. No less a celebrity than glamorous Dorothy Lamour will be heard with Brown on the first broadcast, March g.
 The unique "Stop or Go" title is based on mythical journeys, taken by contestants, to all points of the earth; Joe keeps the participants on the "Go" until a wrong answer brings them to a Stop. Broadcast with an illuminated map as the playing board, the contestants will travel = question by question = to a self-chosen destination. Should anyone be halted by the flashing of the "StCp" sign, the stranded travel CT win share in casn rewards that
