BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, May 29.-The stock
market today negotiated its fifth
successive average advance and
scaled another eight-year peak, al.

difficult for many recent sprinters
While favorites added l to z

investment demand for income pay

ABA Urges Stronger
And More Uniform
State Bank Laws
By EDWARD C. STONE.


Stronger and more uniform law
governing State banking systems ar
being urged by the American Bank
ers' Association, following state
ments from II State banking com
missioners that revisions appear de
sirable. The ABA Committee OF
State Legislation seeks removal o
the office and staff of the Stat
commissioner from political inf1u
ence, and suggests that every com
missioner should have had at leas
five years banking experience.
The committee favors a team o
six years for the commissioner, witt
one repeat term of a similar period
and salaries equal to the highes
paid department heads in the State
Salaries OF examiners should be higl
enough to secure competent officials
the report says.
The minimum capital for a banl
should be $4,000, to be increased
according to population of the com
munity served. Banks should b.
chartered only when really needes
and when ample community supper
is assured.

the opinion that it would be "ut.

Net income of the Baltimore &

Non-Combat Jobs
Give Way to Infantry

SHAEF (CNS)-One of the Army's
best known disciplinarians, L/Gen
Ben Lear, is devoting himself to the
job of squeezing every available in
fantry reinforcement from the ranks
of general service men now doing
non-combat duty.
Indicating the Allied Supreme
Command still is counting on long,
hard battle in the west, Gen. Lear
revealed to war correspondents that
several hundred thousand addition
al riflemen are being trained in the
U. S., and some thousands of gen.
eral service soldiers have been re-
leased from static duty in the Unit
ed Kingdom for retraining as in
fantrymen. 1t is hoped to increase
the number of general service men
released for front line duty by turn
ing over jobs in service units to
limited assignment soldiers and by
employing more civilians, Gen Lear
said.
Gen. Lear also expects to devote
his attention to drastically reducing
the number of men absent without
leave from their units on the West
ern Front. Approximately 1900
men have been reported AWOL.

Let the Bugler Live

Dear friends, remember hearing
a song some time ago to the effect
that plans were being made some
day to murder the bugler. This is
indeed a terrible thing. 1 was sitting
down in the solitude of my army
abode when it suddenly dawned
upon me that it is my solemn need
to make plea in behalf of buglers.
Let the bugler live. That is my
plea. know it is very disturbing
when one is enjoying the rarest
pleasure of life to be awakened by
the melodiuS notes of "I can't get
'em up, can't get 'em up, can't
get 'em up this morning!" and you
must rise and greet the rising sun.
1 am we'll aware that it is the
desire of all concerned to sleep on
until the sun is high in the sky.
The sound of whistles fill the morn
ing air, the tough sergeants yell
their shrill cry to high heavens and
you.

One on Ground,
Pilots Record

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j. The
three F'Ocke-Wulfs were looking for
stragglers among the formation of
Liberators that had bombed the
Paradise airdrome in Austria. Capt.
Charles E. MCGEE and three other
pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group
of eScorting Negro pilots rolled their
P-51 Mustangs over. and down on
the enemy.
"The FW that picked scram-
bled for the deck" recalled the
Champaign, ILL.,, pilot at the Army
Air Forces Redistribution Station
here. "We started to chase at $4,000
feet and I was hitting $50 miles
per hour by the time we reached
$4,000 feet. I gained only enough
to turn loose two short bursts"
1t was not until the two planes
reached tree top level that Captain
gained on the Focke-Wulf and
matched evasive tactic for tactic
with the willy Eazi piloT.
cat 300 feet I turned loose long
burst and saw parts of his plane fly
off before he crashed into a wooded
area" said the Champaign pilot.
Circling to higher altitude, Capt.
MCGEE spotted 30-car freight
train and again hit the deck.
Il strafed it once but couldn't
stay around long enough to see how
much damage had caused. was
too low on gas"
The Champaign pilot is the son
of Chaplain Lewis A. MCGEE, who
is serving with the ground forces
in Belgium.
The captain completed 81 mis-
sions, flying 80 of them with the
18th Air Force in Airacobras and
completing 54 with the 18th Air

Bus Schedule Changes

Several changes in the Operat-
ing schedule of the NOgales-
Bisbee Stage Co. became effec-
tive on February 8. Important
among them is the fact that
only one direct stage leaves and
returns to the Fort daily for
Tucson. That bus leaves Hua-
chuca for Tucson at 900 a. m.
daily. The Fort-bOund bus leaves
Tucson at 6:15 p. m.
The other important change is
that four buSseS will, go to and
from Douglas daily. They will
leave the Fort at $500 and l1:OO
a. m. and at 400 and 600 p. m.

It's 'let's go here, and let's go
there" and you must find your
weary way to the company streets,
all because the bugler disturbed the
morning air with the call to re-
veille.
To those who are nursing the urge
to murder the bugler, please heed
my plea. Let the bugler live. The
poor guy is only doing what he is
told to do. imagine he, too, would
enjoy little more sleep of morn
ings; besides, the bugler is endowed
with a desire to sleep like you. Give
the guy break.
am especially interested because
I, too, am a bugler. Yes, I'm a bugler
/ don't want to die I'm too young
to die! 1t is for this cause make
this plea. When this feeling to de-
prive the bugler of his grasp of life
inflames your mind, read again
these lines and let the bugler live!
It is better to resort to the sooth-
ing tones that flow forth from this
wonderful horn. Lend, therefore, an
ear to the bugler'S morning mleody.
Consider it as CT Serenade rather
than call to the duties of the day.
Send forth your heart to enjoy the
harmonious call to arise and be
glad that you are alive to hear it.
Therefore, let the bugler live and
leave him unmolested. Remember
that music has charms. LONG LIVE
THE BUGLER!

patience as we'll as a man of God,
the chaplain is responsible for the
religious welfare of our troops; he
is friend and father in time of trou-
BILE; he guides the spiritual devel-
opment of men who have gained
sudden maturity in wartime.
The woman whose son is reported
missing and the man whose son is
reported lost in action come to their
friend = the Army chaplain = for
help. If it is information they seek,
the chaplain ferrets through official
files to find it. But he gives them
more: peace of mind, and renewed
pride in their sons, often forgotten
in the shock of grief.
"A chaplain makes his work an
around -the-clock job, through his
own choice. He spends many sleep
less nights weighing other peoples
problems. He is not dealing with
shipment of precious shoes or am
munition. He deals with fireplace
able lives and human happiness.
One chaplain had the problem OF
reconciling an Army man and his
wife, estranged by friend" OF the
soldier. They were happily reunited,
thanks to Chaplain *" The SOL
dier is overseas now, but doesn't
worry about his home. And the
wife,s letters to the chaplain evi-
dence her gratitude. You're the
only man who ever prayed for me"
she confided.
That case would be entered on
report as zone Cd interview with
one Cd soldier" Nothing else, al
though many hours were spent on
the case.
Not unusual are the activities OF
= rocon+ month when chaDlainS at
Army Service Forces installations
throughout the West discussed
"problems" with 15,975 individuals
and visited 53,240 patients in mill
tary hospitals. :,
Chaplains assist officers as well
as enlisted men. It's not unusual
to have a colonel, or even a gen.
eral, walk into the chaplain's office
and say, "I'd like to have a talk
with you. Perhaps you can help me-"
When he leaves, he knows the chap
lain has helped.
Humor has a large place in the
life of an Army chaplain. Two men
had gone through a rather harrow
ing experience when the soldier
turned to his friend and said,
chaplain, weren't you scared?"
