Two-Day Laundry Service Is Given On
Pacific Marine Aircraft Carrier

SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC
(Delayed) - The laundryman is
correct when he says the war is
responsible for his inability to give
the same snappy service, according
to Navy Ships Service Laundry
man First Class Arthur M. Fossum
of La Center, Wash.
Fossum is serving aboard a Ma
rine aircraft carrier in the Pacific
battle zones and helping to give
the kind of service lot of people
despair of ever seeing again
-one-day rough dry and two-day
flat pressed service, reports Sgt.
Basil R. Littin, Marine Corps COM
bat correspondent.
He heads the nine-man crew
that operates his ships laundry. His
service is dependent upon the ulti-
mate in washing, drying, and press
ing equipment, plus 13-hour work

Plaque for exceptionally meritori-
GUS service in the performance of
outstanding duties in support of the
Fifth Army combat operations in
Italy.
"On the offensive, in static posi-
lions and while at rest" the cita-
ton stated, "all members of the
company have performed the i'm
portant duties of supply, transporta-
ton and vehicle maintenance and
the many administrative functions
with outstanding efficiency and
have been of invaluable aid in the
successful advance of the regiment.
always untiring in their efforts,
Service Company personnel have
worked under the most difficult
conditions, frequently while subject
to enemy artillery fire, but never
relaxing in their endeavor to as
sure the comfort and highest com
bat efficiency of this organization.
The company, a unit of the 18th
"Blue Devil" Division, participated
in the Italian campaign from the
time the division entered combat,
March 3, 1914, until the campaign
ended.

laundry is ready when promised.
He gets his work out in spite of
the fact he often is called from
his washers and dryers to man
his battle station.
Nearly 1000 pieces of flat
pressed work, and more than 5000
pounds of rough dry are laun-
dered each week. Thousands of
gallons of fresh water are used
each week, all of it distilled from
sea water by the ships evaporatcrs,
and ton of soap is consumed each
month.
Before enlisting in the Navy,
Fossum was employed by the
Puget Sound Power and Light Co.,
Port Townsend, Wash. He served
Is months in the Atlantic before
being transferred to the Pacific
theater.
Good for Morale, Health
He doesn't mind working the
long hours because he knows how
the men appreciate it. He realizes
clean clothes are a great morale
stimulant and vital to health
where large number of men
must live in confined quarters.
Fossum has been doing Navy
laundry for two years but it is
new experience to have large oun-
dies of Marine khaki and green
dungarees to launder.
Marines have served on Navy
carriers before, but only in recent
months have they had their own
carriers. On these new ships all
the pilots, air crewmen and
ground crewmen are Marines. Pri-
mary mission of these carriers is
to provide close air support for Ma
rine amphibious landings.

Early in 1914 the Seventh

six days later the Stars and

Employment Outlook Good

New York, Aug. 17.-(UP)-Ira Mosher, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, said today that an NAM survey indicated that fewer than 1,500, 900 industrial workers would be unemployed dur ing the reconversion period.
 Most of these might be re-employ- ed within three months from tine start of the reconversion period Mosher said the survey indicated.
 Widespread Survey
 The survey was made among 1,70C of the NANG's 13,000 members.
 Even at that period of recon version when the most people are out of work, employment in manu- featuring will not drop below that of 1939," MoSher said.
 Mosher said yesterday that the survey indicated that 61 per cent of the U. s. manufacturing firms faced no re-conversion delays. The survey showed, he said, that only II per cent of the manufacturers would require more than 30 days to switch to peacetime production

New Bomber Has World Wide Range

Washington, Aug. 17-(UP)-Gen Henry H. Arnold today revealed ex- istence of new army super-bomber with range two and one-half to three times greater than the B-29.
 He said it would cover all of Asia, the Pacific and the Atlantic from present U. s. bases. The new bomb- CT has not been named.
 New Rockets
 The commanding general of the air forces said the army also has rockets that will be drawn auto- matically to 6 target by the pres ence of heat, light or metal in the target zone.
 He said these weapons, coupled with the atomic bomb, have brought the 'Buck Rogers" conception of air power into reality.
 Future security of the United States and the peace of the world depends on air superiority resulting from progressive research aided by the countrys scientists and indus tries, he continued.
 Arnold said the scientists who de- veloped the atomic bomb showed what they could do when given money and facilities.

By CHARLES H., HERROLD United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, Aug. 17-(UP)-The Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions opened Labor's drive today to obtain pay boosts under the gov- ernment's newly nberalized wage policy.
 President Truman announced yes- terday that the War Labor Board will be allowed during the recon- version period to permit all volun- tary wage increases which are not unstabiiizng and to order such raises as are necessary to effective reconversion.
 Break Formula
 The president is now drafting an executive order to this effect. It will clear the way for the VILE to break, discard or ignore the Little Steel Formula, which held wartime wage increases to IS percent above Jan- uary, 1941, levels.
 CIO President Philip Murray dis closed that all CIO unions will ask employers for collective bargaining conferences to negotiate higher wages in the light of the presidents new policy. Most CIO unions have a clause in their contract permitting reopening the question of wages If the national policy changes.
 Murray also indicates CLOS will ingness to continue its no-strike policy during reconversion. He said
