NEW YORK-lR-It takes little
more than a day and a half to
travel some $500 miles from Lu-
CONS war front to San Francisco's
home front.
In 40 hours from west to east
you see tine islands which Ameri-
cans have fought and bled over
these past 80 or 40 months.
Perhaps in years to come air
travellers may dcze and but vague
ly remember the task forces, the
bombings, the assault troops and
the aviation engineers that made
this skyway to the Orient possible.
Right now it is impossible to for
get. The scars are too fresh.
You leave Luzon in a Mitchell
bomber carrying mail. Guns are
fully manned. An alert watch is
kept, although enemy aircraft, on
ly a few short weeks ago based
on the lush green island below,
are mostly gone now.
In less than three hours you are
at Tacloban airstrip, Leyte. The
wreckage of bombers and fighters
reminds that the fight there three
months ago was not easy nor with
OUT cost.
The Red Cross canteen is crowd
ed with fIiers just returned from
strikes over Japanese-held islands.
Mopping up missions don't make
headlines but they are constantly in
progress.
From Leyte to Saipan you fly
400 miles in a new C-54 trans.
port. The tired young lieutenant
next to you is Alfred Fernando
Of San Antonio, Texas, who was
on Mindanao in 1941 and has been
fighting with the guerrillas ever
since.
He is going home to a 3O-day
leave and about $4,000 back pay.
IF it was a million l wouldn' t
like to earn it over again that
way" he says with wan smile.
THE stories l could tell you. -
But he falls asleep and you don
awaken him.
In a little more than seven hours
you are on Saipan. Long rows of

BUTTE BUS DRIVERS
TO Get TWELVE
DAYS VACATION

Bus drivers and garage men employed
by the Butte City Lines, Inc, Butte,
Mont, will receive - days vacation in
stead Of 10 days, retroactive to April is,
1945, J. Glenn Donaldson, chairman of
the Ninth Regional War Labor Board
said today.
A Joint application from the transpOr-
tation company and the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric and
Motor C~ach Employees of America, AFL,
requested the hberalized vacation plan
for employees who have a continuous
service record of one year or more.
The rate of pay for the vacation
period will be 90 cents an hour for eight
hours a day, and will affect and increase
the paid vacation period for only those
employees represented by the union.
The Regional Board denied the re-
quest of the Montana Power Company,
Butte, to have its general laborer rate
increased from $50 to $.91s7 an hour.
but approved a rate of $.912s, which
exhausted the increase allowable under
the Little Steel formula.
The company and the union had re-
quested the higher rate to meet the
Wage Adjustment Board scale in the
area. The boards denial was on the
ground that construction rates may not
be used for determining approvability Of
rates in non-construction fields.

PLAN JOBS,
WALLACE URGED

FORT WORTH, Tex-FP)-Secretary
of Commerce Henry A. Wallace was
urged by President o. A. Knight Of the
Oil Workers International Union CCIO)
to call a conference of industry and
labor leaders to allay the fear of job
lessness and depression that is beginning
to haunt the homes Of millions of Amer
lean workers.
you can readily understand the feel
ing of insecurity and apprehension in
the homes of millions of American work
ers as they face a bleak postwar future, -
Knight wrote Wallace, "They see Con-
gress a%djourning without action of any
kind on the unemployment compensa-
ton bill for the victims Of r%econversion.
They see legislation introduced in
Congress aimed to cripple their unions.
They see the goal of 60 million jobs,
for which you and we fought in the
great election of 1914, forgotten by those
entrusted with the destiny of our ma
ton"
Unrest is spreading like wildfire"
among the workers, who are now seek
ing to gain by direct economic action
that full employment and wage secur-
ity which should be theirs" Knight said.
Through your great office as secre-
tary of commerce, and with your keen
understanding of the needs of the Amer
lean people" he told Wallace, you are
eminently qualified to bring together
the heads of American industry and
labor in order to lead the way into a
postwar economy of full employment at
high wages"
