B-29's May Replace Smaller BOmbers In Germany

WASHINGTON, October ?. (F) The Army said today that BPS may replace small Ter bomberS for occupation duty in Europe.
 The official air forces disclOS- ure was appended to an announce ment that group of B-29s, to- gether with fighter complement, will operate during the next six months for Arctic training pur- poses.
 The reference to Europe fol- lowed by only two days secretary of the navy Forrestal's declaration that American naval forces are in the Mediterranean to help carry out American foreign policy and support Allied occupation forces. The Mediterranean force includes an aircraft carrier.
 The army said only:
 The occupation task now per formed in Europe by heavy bomb CTS Of the Boc;nG B-U Flying Fortress type may be accomplish ed in the future by B-29s as a routine replacement of obsolescent types of aircraft by modern equip ment."
 As for Alaska, the announce ment quoted Gen. Carl Spaatz, AAF commander as saying the 28th bomb group, now based at Grand Island, Neb., will leave some time in November for FL mendorf field at Anchorage to give crews and planes experience in Arctic operations.
 The B-29s will be followed in December by the 56th fighter group, equipped with P5 Mus tangs. This outfit will base at Ladd near Fairbanks, for it's pol ar weather training. Ladd Field as we'll as Elmendorf is capable of handling Superforts.
 Upon completion of training, the two groups will be based in the States, to be replaced by other units undergoing cold weather ex- perience. An advance party of about 100 men, forming the nu- cleus of a supervisory wing, al ready is in Alaska, the AAF said.
 Spaatz' statement also reported that ''the 58th bomb group, re- gently engaged in the Bikini atomic bomb tests, has returned to the U. $. and will remain here"
 This was assumed to refer to recent reports that planes capable of atomic bomb operations would be transferred to the AleutianS. Maj Gen. William E. Kepner, reputy commander for the Bikini test force, recently discounted the idea that an atomic bomb force would base in Alaska. Kepner noted, however, that this in itself meant little because any standard B-29 could be converted easily to carry the atomic bomb.

The Real Losers

Although General Motors workers
gained wage increase Of eighteen and
one-half cents an hour, they are the
chief losers by striking.
To be sure, auto production in Gen.
eral Motors plants has been long in
terrupted, but it is~in much better posi-
ton to stand the cost of idleness than
the men, many of whose families have
been reduced to actual want.
It will be years before the workers
make up their sacrifice in pay from the
additional wages they are to receive
under the new arrangement.
Their experience ought to convince
them that whatever relief they gair
by walking off the job is transitory
and that the blame rests. squarely upor
the shoulders Of their leaders.

Your CT Rights
Questions anu Answers
On Servicemen's
~. Problems
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, March 15-(N,
Veterans interested in guar
anteed loans have sent In the fol.
lowing questions:
Q-Is it possible to get the total
cost of a house financed by the
government?
Ayes. With = combination
FILA loan and a veteran loan you
can do it, in some. cases.
OIL am interested in getting a
government loan undef the CT
Bill Of Rights. I was told by the
local office of Veterans Admins
tration that I could get a loan
only for Is years and at 20 per
cent of my salary. I understand
that I can get loan for 20 years.
Which is right? z
A Under the latest CT bill
you can get loan to buy home
up to so per cent of 81, 900 guaran-
teed Cor Is years. Your salary has
nothing to do with the size of the
loan you get, except that lender
usually wants to, be pretty sure
you are able to pay back the
money you borrow.
Q-My son was in the Army
three years. I want to know If
he can borrow $4,000 to buy a
house and lot. They tell me he
has to have 81, 500 in the bank be-
lore he can borrow that much. If
ne had that much in the bank he
wouldn't need to borrow at all.
what about this?
AIThere is nothing in the law
winch says a veteran has to have
any money in the bank to get a
loan. He can borrow up to $4,000,
ana the government will guaran-
mali OF it. 1t is up to the
person or agency making the loan
to judge whether or not the vet
eran is good risk.

Four things, think, make life worth
while:
TO Iove-to hope-to help-to smile!
Proper Procedure Prevails

There were two issues at stake In
the long-drawn-out dispute over the
purchase of fire alarm boxes. The first
was settled when the specifications
were broadened to permit any company
to bid. The second was disposed OF
at the Council meeting on Wednesday
when the low bid was approved. In
both instances It was Mayor Lanes
vote that broke tie in the Council.
The Star holds no brief for either
of the manufacturing companies Of
fering bids. But it is gratified that the
proper procedure, that is open bidding,
was successful. Wilmington taxpayers
also will be grateful, as the box &C.
cepted represents a saving Of at least
S25 per box-no inconsiderable amount
taken off their tax bills.
There is further reason to be pleas
ed with the Councils final action, In
that the contract will be performed by
a Wilmington firm with the payroll
going to Wilmington workers.
AS for City Electrician Garren's
resignation, when the company he
favored lost the contract, 1t can only
be said that if he plays favorites there
can be no regret at his going.
It is too bad he quit as he did, be-
cause he has given excellent service,
particularly in synchronizing the city's
traffic lights, which were in a sad
state before his arrival, and by taking
a broader view of his position there is
no reason to think his record would
not continue above par. But there are
other men equally capable and avail.
able. His departure need cause the
city no loss.

School For Veterans

The problem of education has been
a difficult one for veterans home from
military service, especially the younger
group whose high school training was
interrupted by the draft or voluntary
enlistment. They have found it partic-
ularly difficult to sit in classes with
younger boys who, besides the differ
ence in age, ordinarily lack the veterans
war-acquired power of concentration.
Although there are twenty-five vet
Grams in New Hanover High school,
catching up on the education they miss
ed while in the armed services, it is
conceivable they are secretly dissatis-
fled with conditions, probably most dis
satisfied with the slow progress Of
regular high school routine. Naturally,
they are impatient to get through with
school training so that they may take
their position in the business world or
advance to college.
Recognizing the situation and ever
alert to give greater and broader SER
vice, the New Hanover County High
school, with the green light from the
Veterans Administration and North
Carolina education authorities, the
school is to institute on April 1 special
four-year high school course for vet
terans in which ex-servicemen may at
tend classes exclusively their own and
move from grade to grade as their
work and the proof of their progress
is demonstrated by adequate examine
ton.
Glasses will be held in the afternoon
and evening, after regular high school
pupils have gone home. By arrange
ment with the Veterans Administra-
ton, enrollees will receive the regular
government allowance. If the veteran
completes the high school course in two
terms and has the necessary credits,
he may attend college or university of
his choice for two more years with the
same financial assistance set up in the
CT Bill Of Rights.
Special courses viii be given for bows
intending to take up some professions
or, as the case may be, commercial or
vocational careers. M
Since the County Administration
turned down the proposal for a Junior
college, this arrangement at the high
school becomes an efficient substitute.
Wilmington and New Hanover county
veterans will have the advantage of
attending school, offering many junior
college advantages, at home.
