Washington, July 2-(UP)-Iron- bound controls over manpower and materials, which for almost four years have harnessed Americas in- dustrial might to pull the weight of a two-front war, were on the way out today. The government put into effect its program for grad ually returning the country to a free enterprise economy.
 The grim race to produce" is over. War Mobilization Chief Fred M. Vinson said in weekend re- port. But, he added, reconversion during the Pacific war must be dominated by the spirit and de- termination" to furnish the wea- pons needed to lick Japan.
 Local manpower officials hence forth will have the authority to suspend wartime regulations either in communities or individual plants

ORDNANCE MEN
 SHOW BATTLE
 SKILL TO LAPS

Watervliet, N. Y, July 2. - (U. P0 - Front-line combat efficiency as well as vital supply and repair service marks the record achieved by Ordnance soldiers of Lieutenant General Robert Eichelberger's 9th Army in the Southwest Pacific.
 One battle report, sent to the Watervliet arsenal, tells how a cer- tain Ordnance company inadvert- ently found itself several hundred yards ahead of American artillery units in the Tambu Bay fighting in the Netherlands East Indies. Never theless, the unit put up its Open for Business" sign and stuck it out through daily enemy counter-bat- tery fire.
 At Aitape, a grease-covered auto- motive mechanic recovered quickly from his surprise when two Jap anese infantrymen stumbled into the clearing where he was working on truck. He crawled from be- meath the truck, took his trusty 18- inch wrench and "neutralized' the enemy.
 The Ordnance soldiers also have given hand to the Medical Corps. At Maffin Bay, when a vacuum pump was needed to prevent a pa- tient from strangulation or pneu- monia while under anesthesia, the hospital turned the problem over to Ordnance. An automotive fuel pump was fixed up with a bracket and tubes and placed in an airtight glass jar to do the trick. Since then, many more of these pumps have been built for other medical units.
 During the Biak Island cam- paign, an ordnance instrument repairman flew to the front lines in Cub" plane to make neces- sary spot repairs to large numbers of artillery f1re-control instru- ments which had been damaged by climatic conditions. In the same campaign, an Ordnance repair man was the second person to land on Mokmer airdrome, al- though his plane was hit several times by enemy fire.
 The 741st Ordnance Company, fully prepared for enemy infiltra- tion tactics, had a chance to dis play it's knowledge in the early phase of the Wadke-Toem opera tion. A Japanese patrol suddenly appeared in the company's shop area, but the Ordnance men put down their tools, picked up their weapons and quickly erased the entire patrol.

Paris, July 2-(UP)-Stars and stripes today took sharp editorial swings at Time magazine and Broadway columnist Ed Sullivan for careless reporting" of its recent letter to Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.
 Time reported that the army newspaper had "rebuked' Patton for speaking about the next war to Sunday school class in San Gab- riel, Calf. Stars and Stripes pointed out that the "rebuke" was not edi- torial, but letter from an air corps caputain, who identified himself as J. c. B.

PIRATES TROvE STILL GOAL OF
 BAYOU PEOPLE

New Orleans, July 2(UP)-Down in the Barataria section of Jeffer- son parish in Louisiana, they're still digging for the buried treasure of Jean Lafitte. They've been digging for more than 8 century, and still the legend persists among the Lou isiana bayou folk.
 The fabulous buccaneer of early Louisiana history must have buried at least some of his loot along the bayou waterways he travelled so of- ten betewen his Grand Terre coast al stronghold and New Orleans. That's what the people who inhabit the marshes and bayous of the states vast swampland think. And so they continue to search for the vast store of florins, doubloons and half-crowns that would bring them quick wealth.
 Curse Defies Removal
 The marsh people say there is a curse on the land that defies men to remove the treasure from its hiding place.
 Men who have studied the evil dence swear that from $1.O00,000 to $15, ,000,0 900 in coins, gold bars, silverware and altar accoutrements lay beneath the watery sand some where along the Louisiana coast.
 During the past 60 years, men with treasure fever in their blood have spent more than $200 900 ex- ploring holes beside the Suwanee River Possession of the cache, which has seemed within reach in- numerable times, has inspired at tempted murders by poisoning, dy- namiting, and gun and knife fights.
 Odl-timers say that in 1888, two men carried out secretive digging with pick and shovels along the river. After one died of swamp fever, the other wandered about, muttering of an old map, dated 1923.
 Basis for New Search
 The second man died nine years later, and left a map to two men who befriended him. That map is the basis for the latest search for the Lafitte pirate trove.
 Modern machinery will be used to dredge a small harbor along a bend in the Suwasee. It will take in all the territory where. accord ing to the ancient map, the treas ure might be buried.
 The agents of the machine age may be more successful than the pick and shovel of the earlier trea- sure seekers, but to the bayou folk of Louisiana, Iafitte's cache will continue to be the subject of old wives tales for many years to come.

@. Could you please tell me the amount of salary paid to second lieutenant in the air corps, and if he is allowed $100 month for the support of his wife.
 A. The base pay of a second lieu tenant is $50 8 month; as a man with dependents he draws $75 rental allowance and $42 subsistence; he does not draw any other allowance for his dependents. If he is overseas he receives 10% increase on his base pay, and 50% increase when re- quired to serve on regular and fre- quent aerial flights.
 o. Is it possible for a soldier to make his insurance out to his father with no allotment provision for his wife and child?
 A. A soldier may designate as beneficiary for his insurance any of the persons in the following group: Wife, child, parent, brother or sister. A soldier is given the opportunity to apply for family al- lowance on behalf of his wife and child as soon as he enters the serv- ice. If he does not do so the wife may file on her own behalf and the soldier cannot have payment discontinued. Necessary forms and detailed information may be ob- tained from Personal Affairs Branch, First Service Command, Boston, Mass.
 o. I have been receiving $37.OO family allowance from my son in the Army. He has recently been promoted to S/Sgt.; does that make any difference in my allotment?
 A. No, it does not. Family al- lowance is payable to dependents of enlisted men of all grades and the grades and the same amount is paid to the dependents of a private as to those of soldier with higher grade, according to their relation ship and degree of dependency upon the soldier. The promotion of sol- dier does not increase family al- lowance.,
 o. applied for disqualification under the ENdIC plan and the ap- plication was approved. My husband was commissioned this month; does that make me ineligible for the disqualification now?
 A. No, you are still entitled to the disqualification if your husband was in an eligible grade when you filed application-Pvt., Pfc, Cpl, or Sgt.
 Q. What is the pay of a S/sgt. overseas?
 A. His base pay is $96o0, plus 20Hs for overseas duty and 5% for each three years of service.
 @. I was married last month to a soldier. He has Family Allow ance for his mother who Is quite elderly and entirely dependent upon him. Could he also file applica- ton for me, and if so, would 1t make any difference in the amount paid to her?
 A. A soldier may have Family Allowance for both his wife and his mother. The mother would con- tinue to receive the same amount and the wife would receive $50. The Eoldier would contribute s27 month
