That was too much for l.. C.. White, general secretary of the Civil Servants Clerical Association. White said of the bulletin, ''I re- gard it as a piece of impertinence and a reflection on the character and habits of civil servants.

On nTheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

If some 4 million American wage earners get together with their employers and all agree to it, they can get a wage increase to maximum of 55c hourly, the Ma tiOnal War Labor Board ruled this week.
 There are just two catches to it. The first is that the employer agreeing to the incerase up to 55c must not also demand that he be permitted to raise prices and the second is that the regional WLB must first approve the boost. WLB Chairman William H. Davis esti- mated there are 4 million persons now employed in various indus tries making less than 55c hourly or $22 for a 40 hour week.
 Public and labor members of the WLB voted for the resolution setting 55c hourly as the substandard mini mum pay. Industry members reserved their vote-Which means they may de- liver a vigorous dissent later. Asked just what the resolution meant, Davis replied; Tt means the VILE finds that at least 55c hourly is necessary to maintain a decent standard of liv- ing today" The figure is up Sc from the old minimum set two years ago. However, he hastened to explain, we can't order a 55c minimum wage"
 Any wage increase, even in the sub standard levels, which would bring about demand for a price increase to compensate the employer for grant ing it, must go to Economic Stabiliza- tion Director Fred Vinson for review. Vinson can then pass it, deny it or grant the wage boost without the price increase.
 Out of some 375, ,OOO wage cases that have come before the WLB, 362,OOO of them have been vOlun- tary agreements to wage increases, cases in which the employers and the union have reached an accord. Only l3,OOO cases have been car ried to the WLB by unions as dis putes in which employers resisted the wage demands of the workers.
 Davis reported that the dispute be- tween the WLB and Vinson over its powers to grant increases on its own Initiative was nearer solution. His exact quote was that the board is making progress" with Vinson. Davis said the issue between them is very narrow.

 ANTI-LABOR employers won't be permitted to get >away with prOpagandizing soldiers against workers to smash a union. That was made clear by the National Labor Relations Board when it cracked down on the Shartle Brothers Machine Company, Mid dletown, Ohio.
 The vice-president of that firm, in an effort to stymie an Inter national Association of Machinists organizing campaign at the plant. wrote a letter to each of its em- ployes in the armed services, in which he smeared the union and sought to frighten the soldiers into believing their jobs would be jeopardized if the union won out. Copies of the letter were also passed out among the workers. In its order against the firm, the NLRB not only directed it cease all anti-union activities, but that it mail to all its employees in the armed forces copy of the order so that they would know the man. agement distorted the facts and violated the law.

 In these times, everyone cannot ride in transit vehicles. Neither would it be practi-

enabled the English to shoot down the
majority of the vi and w bombs
hurled by Hitherto Germany.
Details were released by the Joint
Board on Scientific Information Policy
for the various war agencies involved.
Although the government release failed
to mention the fact, American workers
in scores of factories and represented
by a large number Of AFL and CLIO
unions turned out radar equipment that
enabled the U. S. to supply not only its
own naval, military and aircraft needs,
but to supply its allies.
Radar takes its name from the phrase
radio detection and ranging" because
it detects the range n direction Of
objects in its field of view. It operates
in the ~blackress Of night, under fogs of
cloud, smoke or storm as well as it does
in broad daylight.
Back in September, 1910, when the
Lufwaffe was a~ssaulting England, the
defensive radar chain went into action.
Despite a critical shortage of fighter
planes and pilots, the British were able
to spot each incoming raid in time to
throw fighters against it. The necessity
for constant air patrols Of fighters was
eliminated by the use of radar and the
few to whom SO many owed so much
were sent into battle economically and
with maximum effect.
When the German losses climbed 10
staggering heights, the Nazis shifted to
night attacks, but the defenders used
radar in the air to find the providing
German bombers. The pilot was simply

a chauffeur, obeying instructions of the
radar operator until he was close enough
to see the dim shape of the enemy.
The radar shows a picture of what's
ahead on a screen built to scale. 1t is
used in conjunction with a map.
AS an example of how radar works in
a sea battle, the release said a picture
Of a force would appear on the screen.
It identifies the enemy ships as two
large warships and three d~estroyers.
Without being usually spotted, the
American vessels watch the approach
ing ships-"Gun crews stand ready to
load. The two forces continue to close.
New ranges and range rates automatic
ally reposition the mighty guns. Finally
the radar indicates that the enemy is
within range. The word is given TO
'coinmnce firing With a roar, nine 16
inch shells go hurtling through the

You see, I've got this swell friend.
He's a pilot. I'm a mechanic, and a good
one, only it's not up to me to be saying
SO. Captain Joe, he's been setting his
ship down for me to overhaul for so
many months We're just like buddies. He
don't pull any rank, ever.

can I do with ten days in England? Go

up. He's got a guy in his crew who has
a girl in London and would like to go
see her. We will just change places and
I can make the trip to the States with
the captain. I can go home and see my
wife for three or four days and come
right back with him on the return and
nobody viii know any better. Only, I
got to be careful. Nobody must find
out about it OF he'll lose his ship.
Way We looked at it, there wasn't a
thing could go wrong. only thing was to
warn my wife that it would just be for
three or four days and that she mustn't
under any circumstances tell anyone that
I was home. Not her mother or father
or any of her friends. My own people
have been dead a long time. SO I tell
her just to meet me in a little town near
Miami without telling anyone where she
is going or why, see?
Well, that's the way it worked. I got
to the States feeling like crazy I was
50 happy. I was still in a grease mon
keys suit and Captain Joe sort of took
me along in the car that was sent for
him, and except for a bad moment at
the gates of the field, it was okay and
no questions asked.

finally had to say good-by. I cautioned
her not to let anyone know I'd been to

and said she wouldn't. Captain Joe

and We took off. First thing you know
I was back in England. I could hardly
