 Rome, Jan. 2. (UP)-Marshal Pietro Badoglio, believing the Bonomi government will not last, is ready to head a new Italian gov ernment if he should be called to do so by Prince Humbert.
 The 73-year-old former premier, with whom I had 30-minute inter- view, made no secret of his belief that the Bonomi government was "transitory" and was destined to disappear in the near future.
 "The present government is not at all interested in the future Of Italy as the ministers work solely in the interest of their own political parties" he said.
 T am ready to come to the sery- ice of Italy if the lieutenant gen- eral, Prince Humbert, believes 1t Opportlne to call me into active service. Otherwise I am ready to re- main here and lead a quiet and retired life which always have devoted to the service of Italy"

As the days go by more and more actual cases of the benefits of BLUE CROSS disqualification h. surance are in evidence and those who didn't feel it important to join last September are now inquiring, almost daily, 'Is there any way we can have another chance to join 2" or the lament of "My wife has had to go to the hospital, if only 1 had taken Blue Cross Insurance" and so on as is always the case. We have been able to reopen the mem bership but must have a minimum of 50 applicants for the Company to accept it. These applications must be received by March first to be included in the next" regular quarterly payment, May first, So if you wish to be in on. this, come to the Employee Relations Office, Bldg. 234, to fill out the applica- tion. PASS THE WORD AROUND we must. have 20 more before this group can be forwarded to New Haven. Thirty people have already signed and will be disappointed if the group is not reached. We can not stress too strongly the im- portance of this matter for it will definitely be your last chance to join. -.:-
 Another thought about Blue Cross-due to the extremely low rate given us there can be no fol- low-up bookkeeping and endless reminders of payments due. We might put forth the slogan PAYMENTS ARE DUE-IT'S UP TO YOU"
 The Civilian guards on the gates have asked us to express their ap- preciation for the splendid coopera- tion from both military and civilian personnel of Bradley Field. This right kind of spirit has helped them to do the fine job that is evi- dent every day we pass by.

"Unlucky" Soldier Gets 4 Star Break

FIT. CcCLELLAN, Ala. (ALNS) Pvt. Armand Gilbert is just one of those naturally lucky guys-al- though at the time he figured just the opposite. He had never fired a rifle grenade, and was out with the rest of his buddies ready to take a try at it. There was the tank, with a swastika painted on it, rumbling along. The order to fire at will had been given. His pals were taking pot shots at the tank-but not Pvt. Gilbert. Some four-star general had come along and borrowed Gilbert's rifle to ex- anime the sighting device. But just as the tank was approaching the end of it's run, the general gave the rifle back to Gilbert, and the pri- vate quickly sighted and fired and got the tank target right on the nose. The four star general saw it and had the private report to him. So that is how Private Gil bert got to tell Gen. George c. Mar shall, the chief f-staff, how he had learned to use a rifle shooting par tridges before he joined the army.

Plane Costs Down

The Republic Aviation Corpora tion with plants at Farmingdale, L.I., and Evansville, Ind, an nounced recently that the cost of producing it's PAY Thunderbolts had dropped from $68,75O to $45,- 6e0. The company explained that when the Army's initial order was filed in 1942 it took 22,927 man. hours of labor to make each plane, but that by the time the 10,0O0th plane was produced in September, 1914, it took only 6,290 man-hours.
 The company estimated that the cost downtrend since the first order was filed has saved the Govern ment more than $100,000,O00 under what the delivered planes would have cost at the price originally fixed. The savings were attributed by the company to the cooperation of workers, engineers, management and subcontractors.

The Committee in charge of the Valentine Dinner Dance on Febru- ary thirteenth reports that tickets are going much faster than an- ticipated. A word to the wise would be don't wait until PAY DAY to buy your ticket or you're headed for disappointment. DO see your representative at once and we're sure a deal can be worked out whereby a ticket can be set aside for you until the day when you are bristling with cash and can't wait to part with it. It's going to be One-Swell-Party.
 Reports from all sides are what a grand time everyone had at the March of Dimes" Dance, wonder full band, wonderful dancers (Ar- thur Murray team), wonderful crowd, in other words, it was WONDERFUL and over $50 in dimes contributed.
