L. L. Meligarl, commanding Of

for "meritorious service over and
above the normal requirements of
his job"
But for the grace of God and
the shrewd management of 1t.
Meligari. there might have been
another Port of Chicago Mutiny
Affair"
This is the alleged story: On
the evening preceding the night
of the USO service mems show,
1t. Camp, officer in charge of
recreation issued an order among
his masters at arms that the seat
ing arrangement for the night
shall be ''all colored service men
on one side; all white service
men on the other side. That
is the way l want it," says he,
land that is the way it will be-"
This is the navy; the story
goes, and an official order must
be carried out, and worse still,
what can a mere M. A. do about
1t; colored sailor at that?
Where there is will, there
is way, say the boys; so via un-
foreground channels, word got
around that no colored man may
attend the affair that night. I'm
derstand, NO COLORED MAN!
Such unity! Not a single col
ored man did attendl Each man
had other business to attend to.
Come time for the performance
lin walks the c. o. His usual
smiling face bedecked with his
favorite cigar The sight that
met his eyes was startling, half
the house filled with white serv-
ice men and not a single race
sailor.
Say! What's going on here
we're his first thoughts. 1t. Me-
ligari knew his boys well and
could immediately sense some
thing is wrong here"
A quick investigation sent him
rushing over to the barracks.
A question here, a question
there, brings him nothing. Final
ly he says in word to the af
feet: Look, fellows, stop beat
ing around the bush; there's
something wrong here and l
know it. What is it?"
One brave sailor came forward.

AirfieId
Pact Is
Problem

MONTREAL, Oct. 16-(P)-
Commercial Air Freedoms, STUN
bling block for world agreement
at Chicago year ago, held the
attention of two International
Aviation Groups at their first
post-organization meetings to-
day.
The problem Is one for con-
tinuous consideration by the
Provisional Civil Aviation Or
ganization (PICAO), which is
trying to work out during its
three-year life solutions to the
difficulties encountered when
81 nations met at Chicago. If
PICAO can agree on a plan, it
will be considered perhaps next
year in q new attempt to estab-
lish q general agreement on
Commercial Air Rights.
H. J. Symington, president of
the international Air Transport
Association (IATA) and a key
figure at Chicago, where he
sought to resolve the differences
between the British and Amer
lean proposals, called for a new
effort to open the world skies to
commerce.
In an address delivered at a
dinner for the two organizations
last night, 1ymington said
bluntly that since unanimity on
Air Freedoms is not possible, a
strong and reasonable major
ity" should join in singing a
set of rules for international
flying. He declared he was op-
posed to "bi-lateral chickering's y
Bi-lateral negotiations-agree-
ment between two countries
was the method in general use
before the war, and the one the
United States has used since
failure of the Chicago confer
ence to accept a free exchange
of Commercial Transport Rights.
DR.. Edward P. Warner, PICAO
president and formerly vice
chairman of the Civil Aeron-
autics Board, said the Transit
agreement drawn at Chicago
which 20 countries have accept

which Symington had made so
vigorous a plea" But, he add
ed, it "does at least accomplish
an enormous reduction in the
amount of special negotiation
and trading that needs to pre-
cede the establishment of new
air service or the extension of
an old one"
