The logical analysis of why the weather has been as miserable as it has during the prolonger winter we have just experienced, given in technical terms, would take weeks of research and at least several tons of paper, to say nothing of the time spent on preparing the maps, charts and related material, and the many headaches from eye strain and lost sleep. Here's our non-technical analysis.
 The high pressure cell which has maintained itself over north cen tral Canada, which has given us the northerly flow of cool Con tinental and Arctic air over New England this spring, has continual ly elongated itself north-south into the Mississippi Valley and eastern United States, Therefore causing a lesser degree of recession into the north when low centers (stornls) move in from the northwest or generate east of the Rockies and move eastward. As result these storms have moved further to the south of Connecticut giving us the most of the precipitation, since we would be to the north of storms and a demon squeezing" of the storm centers and the resulting rains over the New England States. This hasn't been too different from the past years except we have re- ceived the cold air behind the storms (northwest winds) more direct from the high attitudes or Arctic Regions, after the storms have moved into the Atlantic or northeast over Nova Scotia or New foundland.
 We hope that the next three days will be the end of this bad weather and the beginning of the good old summer. This coming week will present the first summer weather, we hope.
 As a view into the coming sum- mer, there is every reason to be- lieve that we will have the usual July, August and September inva- sions of the New England (south

Air1ines to Get 1000
 New Pilots from AAF

The added planes are being used to meet the need for increased passenger, mail and express carry ings. With Army approval the Civil Aeronautics Board has autho- rized certain airlines to reopen operations over suspended routes and to open operations over other routes certifcated as necessary to the prosecution of the war. In the last 15 months, nearly 10000 miles of additional airline routes have been authorized, bringing the total mileage to 64,963.
 Under the plan for releasing pilots to the airlines, applications must be submitted through proper channels by AAF pilots desiring airline employment, to AAF head quarters in Washington. The air lines will then interview applicants who have been approved for pos sible release. Following an inter view, the airlines will issue a let ter offering employment. This let ter must be accompanied by statement from a local United States Employment Office certify ing the essentiality of the airlines. On the basis of this, pilot will request release from active duty.
 Upon employment by an airline, an applicant will continue as member of the Armed Forces, sub ject to call to active duty if he leaves the employment of the air line, or at any time the AAF again requests his services.

We've always known that since the War, there has been a definite manpower shortage in the field of eligible young bachelors; or even men, for that matter. We've been positive about it since that moon light evening last June, when, while we strolled down Asylum Street in minding our own busi- ness (naturally), young lady whistled at us. However, we ran across the real proof of conditions re this matter with the receipt of a letter at the BEAM office last week.
 This letter arrived innocently, as most letters do, properly sealed, stamped and slightly perfuned. The only difference was that it was addressed to the Eighth and Eff teenth Air Forces and had the notice Free, White and Under Thirty" penned on the envelope. The inclosure was a piece of brown paper over which was sprawled the names, addresses and phone numbers of a group of young women from Hartford with added as to the type of GI they would like to date, ie: "a fel- low that's tall and from overseas and not married. We are war workers" Also "a Private that

The airlines of the United States expect to obtain a needed 1000 pilots and co-pilots under the Army Air Forces new program allowing the release of a limited number of military pilots for airline duty. More than 50 applicants for the shift have already been examined by the airlines, and the number is increasing daily.
 The new pilots are needed to serve on new routes being opened and old routes being resumed to aid the military and industrial war effort. :-.<-
 In addition, the War Department has revealed it's intention to return more than 5O,OOO soldiers monthly from Europe by the use of more than 800 Army transport planes. The commercial airlines will be asked to pick up a large number of these returning soldiers at East ern ports, carry them to their home towns on furlough, and deposit them later on the West Coast en route to the Pacific. .~....
 To service the new and re- opened routes and the returning soldiers, the airlines have been in creasing their number of planes in operation. As of May 18th, the airlines had 375 planes, an increase of 2O9 over May, 1941. These added ships include planes loaned to the Army and Navy after Pearl liar bor, but recently returned, and other planes declared surplus by the military authorities.

ORCHIDS and
 GRIPES
Editors, The Bradley Beam Bradley Field, Conn.


 Bradley Field, Conn.
 Gentlemen:
 An orchid for your latest brain child-"Orchids and Gripes." This column promises to be an excellent vehicle for conveying the senti- ments of Bradley Field CTS. <
 And a gripe as to civilians, not veterans, wearing articles of Gov ernment issue. The writer under stands that CT clothing may be worn by civilians only under cer- tain circumstances; i.e., mainte- nance personnel may use mechan- ics' heavy jackets when performing work under severe weather condi- tions. As it stands, civilians, who of course are not required to ob- serve regulations as to the proper wear and care of the uniform, are easily mistaken for military per sonnel apparently out of uniform. Isn't this unfair to CTS and doesn't it reflect unfavorably on the uni form standards of the Base?
 If uniforms are issued to dis tinguish military personnel as such,' let's keep it that way.

Editors, The Beam:
 Why is it that certain enlisted men have been allowed to remain att his Post from three to four years, in violation of paragraph 2h, WD Cir 164 y1944, which reads as follows:
 Ut is contrary to War Depart ment policy to permit an enlisted man physically qualified for over- sea service and under 38 years of age to remain at a fixed installa- tion or activity of the zone of the interior in excess of 1 year, unless he shall have served honorably overseas.
 All personnel on this Base are reported daily to higher head quarters and are available for reassignment whenever called for by such higher headquar- ters. All physically-qualified per sonnel will be given an oppOr- tunity for overseas service. To "Orchids and Gripes":
 Here's a gripe that's been a thorn in the side of many G.I. on this Field
 Why not give the G.I. below the first three grades a better chance to make ends meet by authorizing him to draw separate rations In practically every other field in the country every enlisted man who is married has been able to draw separate raions. Whats the mat ter with Bradley? :.:.=
 The Base Commander has af- fOrded all married enlisted per sonnel the privilege of residing off the Base, policy established. for their welfare. However, to authorize separate ratiOns for men below the first three grades would not be to the best interests of the service. Today many nu- tritive food items are difficult to obtain or not readily available to the GI because of prohibitive costs. The Army menu is planned and prepared by experienced, well-trained personnel and is de- signed to keep the Army on the move to Victory. Long ago a famous General said that "an army moves on its stomach" Let's not do anything to impair the health and well-being of our Army personnel.

Definite Possibility
BY SILER FREEMAN

Can you visualize valves that

miles of operation Wilcox Rich
Division of Eaton Manufacture
ing Co holds this out as a def
mite possibility.
The company claims il can
be done through the use OF d
new alloy, called Eatonite, de-
veloped after two years of
research. 1t claims TO have run
an engine 100000 miles on test
with valves made Of Eatonite,
and when removed the valves
showed little wear or eerrosion,
according 10 V. &. Young, chief
engineer for the company.
"EatOnite il the hardest valve
facing material yet found" SAID
Young. at will retain its hard
ness at high temperatures
found In high compression en-
gines and at the same time il
resist the corrosive effects of
high test anti-knock fuels"
The engineer predicted higher
operating temperatures in en-
gines after the war, with
greater compression ratios and
possible use Of Supercharging.
Higher costs viii prevent the
use Of Eatonite in the first cars,
he said.
