sense Of injustice" states Field. "1t
would be only natural that it should
be at times make me feel and act in
such way, and with such violence
as to arouse fears and resentment
in those who might have the power
to remedy the injustice. I might,
however, take heart that as civili-
zation progresses, more and more
of my fellow men strive to be just,
and to be somewhat encouraged by
such progress as had been made.
II like to believe that I would
try to remember that injustices to
myself were only part of many in
justices, suffered by many people
of every color and religion and
should be in the forefront of the
battle to remedy them for all, know
ing them all part of the same pat

 Evidence at hand, including wide personal observation, indicates that the average soldier has drifted from reluctant compliance with the rule to almost open contempt for it.
 The men who were fighting the Germans 8 few weeks ago think they deserve a chance to let off steam now. Three main factors seem to enter into the marked change of att titude, particularly since VIE day: 1. More leisure time. While the war was on, compliance with the rule ran far better than the 75 per cent the army hoped for. But now with American troops stationed chiefly in resort areas, the men feel they have . right to cut ur 6 bit. 4 Officers don't like to enforce the rule. This correspondent was Strolling with . lieutenant along 8 lonely road in southern Germany. A CT was seen strolling hand in hand with @ fraulein. He snapped to sal- ute, the lieutenant returned 1t, and then remarked: That's what we face all the time. How are we going to turn in these guys who have been fighting for months?' The shoe was on the other foot in . recent case when military police caught 6 major with a German girl.
 3. Spring. Tennyson had some thing to say about what young mans fancy turned to in the spring. And while not exactly pinup study, the average German girl in her cool spring skirt and blouse looks good to GI Joe.
 If you try 10 boil down the atti- tude of the men, 1t comes out some thing like this:
 "Yes, we know the American girls are the best in the world, but we are not at home and may not be there for long time"
 The Venereal disease rate in Ger many Is well under control. But it's very existence reveals there are many violations of the fraterni0a- ton rule which the army never dis covers. Army medical authorities have asked for an official decision prohibiting the use of medical re- cords against 8 soldier. They hope 1t would tend to make him reveal any infection, rather than conceal it.
 The army attitude is exemplified by two signs nailed to tree at Weisbaden. One says don't frater- nize." The other, with an arrow pointing, says 'prophylactic station
 The GI's biggest gripe in the field of evasion is that the Germans by nature are informers. When he en- terS the home of 8 German girl, the whole neighborhood buzzes with gossip. Somebody tattles to the M. P.'s, hoping to get in good with the Americans.
 That's the way most violat tions are discovered.

 A Pay Raise
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

By FkEDEklCk C. OThMAN Washington, June 8-UP)- There is a certain amount of (mumble) interest in this house." began Rep. Adolph Sabath of H.
 Four gentlewomen looked start led.
 ''What?" cried Rep. Frank B Keefe of Wisconsin from the front row. Did the gentleman say sex ual?"
 T said sectional snapped Sab ath.
 "Oh," said Keefe..
 One hour later, after some more debate hereinafter to be recorded, the house voted the second time for S2,500 taX-free expense accounts for it's members. One more hour passed and President Truman, who used to be a lawmaker too, said the boys deserved more money, all right, but that he wished they'd given them selves plain pay raise.
 Why they had to vote twice to raise their incomes from $10000 to $12,500 year makes a complicated story involving courtesy for sena- tors, who only get $10,CO0 but who are reported by their brethren to dip when necessary into a mySter- ious contingent fund. I'll not bore you with it; I'll only report the statement of Rep. John M. Robison of Kentucky, a one-time senator
 "In the senate" he said, "they have things we don't know about !"
 Rep. Earl c. Kitchener of Michi- gan said if his cohorts hadn't tried to sneak the vote through the first time they wouldn't have to be standing up and getting their names in the papers now. Rep Malcolm G. Tarver of Georgia an- nounced that he knew one member who last his enthusiasm for an ex- pense account when he learned his vote would become public.
 Rep. Alfred L. Bulwinkle of North Carolina reminded his friends that the last time the house voted itself a retroactive pay raise was in 1873, during the administra- tion of President Grant. ''The coun- try was so aroused" he said, that by January, 1894, congress had to repeal it."
 Rep. A. Willis Robertson of Vir- ginia said he was on the tax com- mittee. This bill enters the treas ury through the back door," he con- tinued Please don't embarrass the tax committee, which can't give the same thing to Tom, Dick and Harry"
 The pros had their say, too. Rep. Clare E. Hoffman of Michigan said he didn't need the money himself and wouldn't take it, but that he was voting yea for the benefit of some members he knew who were going broke
 Rep. C. Jasper Bell of Missouri said he didn't believe the house was too timid to vote for more cash. Numerous others echoed his senti- mentS and then the expense ac- counters stood up, one by one, and had their names recorded for the benefit of the home folks. The vote was 20 for, 152 against. The lawmakers were mopping their brows after the ordeal and hoping to forget it, when President Tru- man ended any such idea.
 He said at his press conference that they were underpaid all right and ought to get somewhere be- tween $15, 1000 and $25, ,0O0 year. He said he wouldn't veto their expense account scheme, but that he wished they'd come out in the open and boost their salaries.
 He added that when he was senator he had to give his wife a job as secretary to help meet the bills. All I've got to say is, want raise.
 You hear that, boss? I vote for more dough for Othman.
