the conquest of Okinawa is It. Col. Jack Hawkins, USING, who de- scribed the Okinawan campaign to the officers of FAF Hqs. at staff meeting June 30. Col. Hawkins, an Annapolis graduate in 1889, ar rived in the Philippines in 1941, just a few days prior to the out break of war. Taken prisoner by the Japs whe nCorregidor fell, he made the March of Death and later escaped from Davao Penal Colony. He returned to the Pacific to the bloody battle for Okinawa, and re- turned to the States only two weeks ago when that island so im- portant to the invasion of the Jap mainland was in American hands. Col. Hawkins was in the escape group from Davao with Major Samuel C. Grashio, FAF Hos. of fcer.
 Col. D. w. Titus, commanding
 officer of Shaw Field, and Col.
 Philip A. Roll, commanding of
 ficer of the newly -activated
 56Oth Air Service Group at Shaw
 Field, were at FAF Hqs. last
 week to confer with Maj. Gen.
 Hunter and Brig. Gen. Glenn.
 Col. Bradford A. Shaw, com
 handing officer of Selfridge
 Field, visited headquarters last
 week, where he assisted in for
 mulating training directives and
 standards for the training of Air
 Service groups and squadrons
 assigned to the FAF.
 Major Gordon H. Sullivan, re- gently returned to Greenville AAB from duty with the 8th and 9th Air Forces, tells this one about Gen. Hunter: Back in 1942, when Gen. Hunter was in charge of the Airborne Movement of the 18th Air Force to Africa, about 15 of ficers, including the general, were quartered at Gloucester in a Geor- gian Mansion at Painswicke, Eng land The main topic of one after dinner conversation was the frigid coffee which was brought from the far recesses of the kitchen, good five minutes away from the dining hall. The general suggested to his aide that he might arrange for the coffee to be brought to the table in large pots instead of individual cups so that it might retain some semblance of it's original warmth. The next evening everybody hap oily poured his hot brew from the large pots which the waitresses set on the table. The fact that the brew appeared unusually hot di- verted the officers attention from the somewhat brownish color of the liquid. After the first sip, there were satisfied comments of "It's not bad, just bit salty" Gen. Hunter himself remarked: Best damned English coffee I've yet tasted"
 Smiles of satisfaction turned to sheepish grins quickly when more observing diner remarked, "Hell, this isn't coffee-it's gravy"
 The new coffee pots, it seems, were almost identical with the gravy containers which had al- ready been placed on the table.

 LANNY BUDD, PLAYBOY
 Upton Sinclair's epic of the modern world has been augmented by a new novel. In Dragon Har- vest" Lanny Budd, the wealthy playboy who became the shrewd secret agent of President Roose- welt, again takes the reader in to- the secret places of the world of diplomacy and intrigue. An hon ored guest at Berchtesgaden, he is present while Hitler plans the seiz- ure of Poland. Hess and Goering are his intimates. After Dunkirk, Lanny rejoins Hitler to see if he can find out when the Nazis intend to invade Britain, and as the book ends, he is once again in Paris, now occupied by the New Order. Readers of other novels in the Lanny Budd series will be glad to discover what has been happening to the far-fung Budd family and their friends. Each novel in the series is, however, an entity and can be enjoyed without having read the others.
 MAJOR PICTURE FOR 1945
 Fallen Angel" by Marty Hol land was snapped up hot off the typewriter by 20th Century-Fox, who are featuring it as one of their major pictures for 1945. Another of these hard-boiled detective nov els, it is distinguished for it's diff ferent slant. Eric Stanton, six footer with an eye for women and an itching palm for a fast buck goes broke in the sleepy Califor- mia town of Walton. A man who wastes no time, he is soon on close terms with Stella, a streamlined blonde. Together they hit on slick racket, but unfortunately their plot is mixed up by murder-with Eric as chief suspect. Tn a tight spot Eric realizes that the only way to save his neck is to solve the crime himself. There's an ingenious and breathtaKfng climax guaranteed to surprise even YOU.

new WLB POLICY
IS PUBLIClZED
WASHINGTON, May IT. UD :

WASHINGTON, May IT. W.D =
The War Labor Board today took
another step away from Govern
ment Intervention in labor-man-
aeement disputes by definint poll
cy to govern disciplinary dis
charges.
It indicated that the parties can
settle their own differences over
such discharges by following the
principles unanimously approved
by labor, industry and public mem
bers. 1t hopes that this program
will eliminate that type case en-
firely from its docket. The man
principles are:
1. Speediest possible settlement
under the parties established
grievance procedure Up TO final
and binding arbitration with the
arbitrator empowered to order
reinstatement and back pay.
2. The right of management to
direct a discharged or suspended
employed to remain away from
work until the grievance has been
finally determined, provided the
employe is given reasonable op-
portunity before leaving the prem
|ises to report his side of the case
to his union representative.
WLB said it will continue to
perform its duly to settle any I'M
resolved disputes over this issue.
If there is strike in progress,
the workers must return to their
jobs and the discharged employees
must be reinstated before it will
consider the case. The board said
it will ordinarily direct arbitra-
ton to settle disciplinary cases
and vii make available lists OF
persons to act as arbitrators or
umpires.

Washington Calling
Continued from Page Four

We visited a small community of
Negro farmers who have lived for
several generations on billy land
that is near the lake created by
Chickamauga dam, one of tn e
chief IVA power developments.
The community had been des-
perately poor. It is still poor. But
you can see the changes that have
come.
There are truck gardens. Soil.
enriching crops are planted to
check erosion and the prolonged
drain on soil fertility that resulted
from year after year of the one.
crop-for-cash system. More impor.
tant, there is livestock on h e
1and-cattle and chickens.
We stopped at the neat house OF
the T. E. Robinson family. Mrs,
Robinson had just won state
prize for highest profit per hen,
based on carefully kept records.
With pride she showed us her two
big hen houses, one full of Rhode
Island Reds, the other of white
leghorns. The small pasture was
planted to Lespedeza, she said.
! asked her how much help had
been brought in from the outside.
Well, not much, she said. Of course
the IVA phosphate fertilizer they
had been able to buy at cost OF
transportation.
But the county agent, he came
and showed US how" she said.
''And I guess if he hadn't, we d
just be jumping up and down in
one place like we was before"
This illustrated one of TWAS
cardinal principles. No do-gooders
go around telling people how to
behave. IVA provides the facili-
ties, the research, the guidance
which can be drawn upon by the
people of the region.
The men who work at first hand
with the people of the valley are
