Opportunities For Veterans

| The limited States will emerge from this
war with the greatest aircraft manu1actuf-
ing facilities and the largest body OF trained
.ircr.tt nersonnel in the history OF flying.
The Army and Navy Air Forces have taught
5000, 900 men to operate ana sefS1ee Gil
planes. to conduct anyways commune atoms
and operate airports
Manv Of these 5000, 900 will certainly want
to find peacetime jobs that will let tnem make
use of their specialized knowledge. Certainly
too, the fruits Of that specialized kno"ieoge
are too valuable to be wasted. But where are
the Jobs to be found?
It is most unlikely that they can all be de-
veloped in this country There is no reason,
however, why they should. American arr
planes will likely be sold all over the world
So why should there not be opportunities Tor
our air-trained and air-minded veterans in
many Of these foreign markets? They have
gained an intimate knowledge OF American
aviation products and technique in rugged,
thorough school.
These men could play an important part in
opening new commercial frontiers, n IN
stimulating the international trade which is
essential to international prosperity and peace
The assurance of American service for Amer
lean planes could hardly fail to make our
aircraft more desirable to foreign buyers, es-
pecially in the immediate postwar years.
There is assurance that the government will
assist business in this expanding field Of for
eien trade as it has in others The State de-
partment is planning to add civil air attaches
to its various diplomatic Stats.
But it seems to us that the aviation indus
try for its own good, should assume respon-
siblity for developing foreign job opportunities
for aviation veterans. Industry, not govern
ment, should inform the veterans of these
opportunities, encourage them to take them
and if necessary give them further training.
Such a program would not be guarantee
Of 5000, 900 jobs. But it seems likely that it
would be another safeguard against complete
and catastrophe collapse Of our war-expand-
ed aviation industry, besides giving congenial
and richly deserved jobs to many Of the men
who won victory in the air

Self-Reliance

buying everything we can from foreign coun'

This is big country, stretching across
a continent. It has great resources, sufficient
to make us self-contained in large measure
We should have learned something about get

This anthology of medical po-

curious and unexpectedly interest
ing compilation. Doctors, it seems,
though scientists, have souls, and
more than 100 of them have been
barred by Mrs. McDonough, wife
of Capt. Stephen J. McDonough,
AP science writer now on leave.
Some physicians put prescrip-
tons in rhyme so they could be
memorized easily; others, perhaps
tired of ailing bodies, sought relief
in poetry. Their subjects include
"Dissecting Room" "Paranoia,
tuberculosis Before A Corpse
The Way To Have Handsome
Children"
1t is hoped to be that some were
better doctors than they are poets.
But some could not possibly have
in medicine their poetical
achievements. Among them Oliver

lett and, among contemporaries,

ROOSEVELT BALKS
AT YE-DAY QUERY

WASHINGTON, March 9. -U,H
President Roosevelt refused today
to predict when the war in Europe
would end.
A reporter asked him whether
the crossing of the Rhine had
brought the war to a point where
it might end suddenly and without
warning. He replied that this was
a crystal ball question.
He told his news conference he
plans to confer tomorrow Or Sun
day with Robert E. Murphy, Am
e1t.can political adviser to the
Supreme Allied Command in Eu-
rope.
But he parted a question whe-
Their he hoped to see Chinese Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek soon.
At first he said he did not, then
he added that you never could tell
that he might even decide this
afternoon.
Authorize tive sources previously
discounted reports that Mr.. Roose-
welt and Chang plan to meet dur
ing the United Nations conference
at San Francisco next month.

Asking For Light

many others, in all parts Of the world, can
together exert powerful influence. That i!
has been sought seems strange to some Amer

withhold it, seems incredible.
But it isn't incredible Dictators, actual and
prospective, on the loose and about to be
Gagged, work in darkness and, what is worse,
use a controlled press for lies, for deceit and
deviltry. Their press is worse than none at all
With world press freedom people would not

Senate Bill To Control
Agar Industry in N. c.
Wins House Group Favor

RALEIGH, March 9. -(P)- A
Senate bill designed to safeguard
a rising new industry in North
Carolina, the harvesting of sea-
weed from which agar is extract
ed, received a unanimously favor
able report today by the House
Committee on Conservation and
Development.
Agar is used in medicine, paint
and tungsten wire, and before the
war this country imported its en-
tire supply from Japan. The War
born industry in this state is To-
Gated in Carteret county.
The bill under consideration
would give the Board of Conser-
walton and Development the au
thority to regulate seasons for
harvesting seaweed, allowing it
to halt the harvest for a couple of
months each year to permit sea-
weed beds to replenish themselves.

By ERNIE PYLE

IN THE MARIANAS ISLANDS,
(delayed-In my long career with
the United States Army, i've made
a hobby OF cultivating the very best
people in it. And for some strange
reason the very best people usual
ly turn out to work in the kitchen.
Isn't that odd?
My latest acquisitions are Mutt
and Jeff team known as Mickey
ana Bill. They serve the food in our
messhan. They have to work like
dogs and they dash around in sucn
intent haste that you think they
are mad at everybody all the time.
But they aren't. That's just a
look Of concentration on their faces.
Whenever we give them time to
relax, they're the best-natured pair
you ever saw.
These two boys are Sergt. Thorn
as Bill, of (337 Belt-ave) St. Louis,
and Corpl. Mickey Rovinsky, of (49
Short-st) Edwardsville, Pa. They
are as different as day and night,
but they work together like cogs in
a gearWheel.
Sergeant Bill is tall and thin and
white skinned and has curly black
hair and a sensitive face, and he
doesn't say much. Mickey is so
short he could stand under Bill S
arm, and his skill is dark. His
eyes are almost shut and he talks
all the tine-and such talk.
Mickey is unquotable, because
you couldn't possibly remember
things the way he says them. His
colloqualisms are not sectional,
they're pure Rovinsky.
Mickey is outspoken about his
likes and dislikes. He fuses back
at the officers who ask for extra
service, but they know Mickey and
don't get sore about it. He's a
sassy wise-cracking little heart-of-
gold fellow. He never laughs, but
he's pretty happy. He wears his
cap turned up in front, which gives
him a cocky air.
The boys special favorite among
all the fliers is my friend Capt.
Bill Clifford. He's always giving
them things, and sits up and talks
with them in the ,nesshall after
supper, and as a result they'd stay
up all night for him if he merely
suggested it.
BY good fortune, 1 fell in with
this trio, and every night Gift and
would stay away from supper
until everybody else had finished
and the two boys had their tables
all cleaned up and set for break
fast.
Then we'd wander over through
the dark and the four of us would
have a banquet-such as steak and
French fried potatoes. The boys
would cook it and then we'd all
sit down and eat, and the talk
would start to fly.
The first Tokyo mission was al
highlight in Mickey's life. The pi-
lots are always tense the night be-
fore a mission, and Mickey has
his troubles.
'They took off six times for To-
kyo," Mickey says. II mean they
was scheduled to go every day for
six days, and they'd all be short
tempered and wanting things lust
SO at night, and then. next morn
ing the mission would be postpon-
ed.
1T was their first mission up
there and they'd heard a runnor
they was to be 1900 Jap fighters
lined up across the sky Just like a
wall, and they was nervous and
grumpy.
Like Captain Clifford here, I
can always tell when he's going the
next day. He don't say much at
