Latest example to prove that 1t pays to think, is the three-day pass awarded to Pfc. George F.. Railsback for his suggestion of a new EZ tool to remove the "Ginga- later Pin" from the starter of PAY. George is spending his well- earned pass in the peaceful metro polls of Hartford.

The advantages of this new brain child is that it will be powered by a rubber propeller, which will greatly simplify belly landings. For further details concerning this monster see M/Sgt. James A. Pot ter. Heard: That S/Sgt. Kenneth Pafdue was down to FIM Supply trying to obtain some phospherous paint for his stripes so that they would shine in the dark. To date the only thing that shines on him, it is reported, is his nose.

 The tragedy of tragedies has hap pened to the Wacs of this Base. S/Sgt. Lawrence Frederick is be- ing discharged from the Army within the next ten days.

War Power Authority
Extended by Senate
For Only { Months

The Second War Powers Act,
which provides authority for ra-
tioning and the priorities sys-
/ tenn now being drawn up for
scarce building materials, has
been extended by the Senate for
six months despite the admin
Iistration's request for a full year
extension.
BY a close vote of 81 to 30, the
Senate voted late yesterday the
half-year extension previously ap-
proved by the House. Six Southern
Democrats teamed with solid Re-
publican bloc to limit the extension
to six months-to June 80, 1916.
Dwindling preholiday attendance
was reflected in the vote which saw
Democratic Senators Bilbo of Mis-
sissippi, Byrd of Virginia, Hoey of
North Carolina, Mcclellan of Ar
kansas, O'Daniel of Texas and Ty-
dings of Maryland aligned with "a
Republicans and Progressive
against the longer term of power.
Bill Returned to House.
The bill goes back to the House
for consideration of an amendment
affecting the naturalization OF SOL
diers. 1t sets December 81, 1945, as
the deadline for application of mem
bers of the armed forces for natural
ization papers, and provides that the
applications can be filed only by
persons who are in the military or
naval services at the time the extern
sion bill is enacted.
Senate Republicans argued sue
cessfully for the six-month limit,
pointing out that OPA's price con-
troll runs out next June and declar-
ing the ration and price authority
should be considered together.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat. of
Wyoming, floor manager of the bill,
said that while only sugar and rub
ber tires now are rationed it seemed
unlikely that the shortages of those
items could be so alleviated in six
months as to make rationing un-
necessary.
Debate Raised on Securities.
Considerable debate was engen-
dered by a provision in the bill ex-
tending the Treasury's power to sell
up TO $4,000, ,000,000 of securities to
the Federal Reserve System without
going into the open market. Sena-
tor Murdock. Democrat. OF Utah
questioned this provision, saying it
would be possible under it to finance
the entire proposed loan of s4,400.-
600 900 to Great Britain without ad-
ditional legislation.
Senator O'Mahoney assured him
this would not be done; that the
loan would be submitted to Con-
gress for approval.
Other powers which would be ex-
tended include:
To dispose of property seized for
war purposes.
To waive navigation and inspec-
ton laws to speed the movement
of troops.
To coin scent pieces out of sill
yer and copper, extended only until
December 81, 1945.

Proposal for Panel

Secretary OF Labor Schwellenbach
was awaiting response today from

hoard to investigate the wage dis
pute.
Company presidents in Cleveland

"At this meeting" he said, I'VE
will make decision as to our fu-
ture action" He added, "It can be
terminated only by the unions joint
executive council or by a member
ship referendum vote. The council
has not acted, as yet, and there has
been no membership vote"
Labor Department officials hope
that some settlement might be
reached in time to help carry fur
loughed service personnel and civil
ians home for the Christmas holi-
days.
Secretary Schwellenbach condi-
toned his proposal on the resump-
ton of operations, without pen
slties, of the 1000 strikers. He also
said that any wage concessions

October 81 when the strike began
in 18 Eastern States and Wash
ington.
Written Notice Specified.

further that he would require writ
ten notice that the parties would
submit to his conditions before the
panel would enter actively into the
dispute.
The strike over wages involves
Greyhound terminals in Toledo and
Columbus, and garages in WASH
lngton and Chicago, as well as over
the-road transportation in 18 States

sengers daily running North and
West from this city.
Mr.. Schwellenbach named as pub
