VIE Day at Bradley Field was marked by Victory Rally held at the Main hangar at 1645 Tuesday afternoon at which time all Base personnel, both military and civ ilian, gathered to pay homage to their fellow Americans who helped bring Germany to an unconditional surrender.
 Although the official end of the War in Europe was announced earlier in the day, Base personnel remained at their jobs in accord ance with the wishes of the Presi- dent and the War Department, foregoing any celebrations until the work-day was over.
 The program at the hangar got under way with CWO w. s. Gray, Jr., reading the First Air Force General Order proclaiming Victory in Europe. Base Chaplain William J. Van Cleve followed MT. Gray at the microphone with a prayer of benediction. Major Harmon Burns, Base Standardization Officer, who formerly served with the famed

The Special Service Section of the Personnel Services Office is now making plans to present a big name band at the Bradley Base Gymnasium every Saturday for an indefinite period. As you will note in this issue of the BEAM, Guy Lombardo is sched- uled to play here today. Next week, Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra, famed of late for their recording of "There, I've Said It Again" are due to appear in person.

Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians will invade the Main Hangar this afternoon at 1900 with some of the Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven" With Guy, will be his vocalists, Rose Marie and Carmen and Liebert Lombardo. The appearance of Guy and his or chestra will be the third in a series of name" bands appearing at Bradley. The others were Glenn Miller's (twice) and Jan Savitt's Tophatters.
 Lombardo brings to Bradley Field a unique style of playing which has been subject of musi- cal debate ever since Guy broke in. Those who like Lombardo do so with an unshakeable loyalty which seems to grow with the years. Those who don't, are just as in tense in the opposite direction. Whether you like Guys style CT not, there's no denying that for more than ten years now his has been the most popular dance band in America.

In his talk, Major Burns explained the impor- tance of the work of personnel in the United States to the men serv- ing in combat zones. He stressed the fact that all must continue their efforts until our final enemy, Japan, is defeated.
 An enlisted mans angle was then voiced by S/Sgt. John Dunn of Combat Intelligence, who has served overseas with the Eighth Air Force, while the program con- cluded with an address by Col. H. E.

Germany has been beaten but Japan is still left to go. Men, SUD- plies and equipment must be poured into the Pacific Theaters to defeat our last but not least tena- cious enemy. As we still must fight, the fighting men must still be sup ported by the purchase of Bonds by those at home.
 The country and this Base are still actively engaged in the Seventh War Loan Drive. AL though no Base quota has been set, it is up to Bradley to do it's utmost to match or even surpass it's high standing in past Bond drives. As

 Let's not slacken our pace in our Bond buying efforts. The tremen- dous responses of America in past drives helped bring Germany to it's knees. We'd all like to see the Japs in that same position-soon.

ALONG CAME JONES Gary
Cooper in Western. Usually when
an actor turns producer and stars
himself, it is because he wants
to prove something-that he can
play a different type part than
his former producers were willing
to give him, or can make a better
picture with no one around to
interfere with his judgment.
This decidedly is not the case
with "Along Came Jones', which
opens at the Benton New Years
Day. It is Gary Cooper's debut as
a producer and he stars himself,
but not in any new type of
character. In fact it is a return to
the Western, In which the actor
scored his first successes. But, it
is well-produced. The story has a
novel twist and it gave Gary
opportunities for the quiet, dry
humor that he does so effectively.
His fans will love it.
