News OF Local
Men In Service

This is the fifth in a weekly
series giving the latest informa-
ton on new Army enlistees and
the whereabouts of those who have
already enlisted in the Regulars at
the Recruiting Station located in
the Rockville Post Office Building.
Anxious to still gain benefits
under the G. |. Bill of Rights,
four more young men from the
Rockville area stepped-in-line this
week and signed up for an eighte-
en- month enlistment.
Ernest E. Hoyle, eighteen year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer f.
Hoyle Of Gaithersburg; James B.
Richards, II year old, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Earl B. Richards of
Route 2, Gaithersburg; Robert r.
Rose, Route 3, Gaithersburg; and
Ashton Chambers, also of Gath
ersburg.
Young Hoyle is a graduate of
Gaithersburg High, Class of '46,
and has been employed for the
Franklin Press at Gaithersburg.
Richards also was a student at
Gaithersburg High, having left in
his Junior year to work on his
fathers farm near Laytonsville.
Rose, a former member of the
Merchant Marines and graduate
of high school from Marquette,
Michigan has been living with his
mother on Drew Pearson's farm
near Gaithersburg.
Chambers, an Army veteran
having seen action in the Pacific,
was discharged last January and
is now enlisting for another IS
months.
Most people turn their backs on
the mere mentioning of the word
Infantry-but not Otis C. Ham,
rick, of GIT Pershing Drive, Silver
Spring, and Robert w. McAllister
Of Hillandale. Both boys enlisted
here at Rockville and are now be-
ginning their fourth week of basic
at FIT. Bragg, North Carolina.
Graduates of Montgomery Blair
last June, and eager to continue
their education, they signed up on
the Gath of September to take full
advantage of the G. /. Bill of
Fights benefits.
Bill Galloway is now on his way
to Camp Stoneman, California in
preparation for assignment some
where in the Pacific Theater, ac
cording to his brother, Melvin,
who is stationed at Fl. Belvoir and
is now on a three-day pass.
Graduating from Diesel School
al Geiger Field, Washington,
Charles E. Mossburg, Jr., is ex-
pected home for a long-sought-for
furlough in the near future, before
continuing on to his new assign
ment somewhere in Newfoundland.

ut appears Mr.. Adamson COM
mented, that the time has come
for all labor unions to inquire fully
into the aims of those who pose as
friends, but actually have no other
interest than a fervent and some
times violent desire to be instru-
mental in the establishment of a
virtual dictatorship in the United
States"
Mr.. Adamson's report came to
light as Representative Rankin
Democrat, of Mississippi told re-
porters that one Of the first chores
Of the Un-American Activities Com
mittee in the new Congress will be
to inquire into purported subversive
influences in some of this countrys s
leading educational institutions.
The main objective, Mr.. Rankin
said, will be to drive out those pink
professors who are now being sub
sidized from questionable sources. /"
Mr.. Rankin reported voluminous
evidence that professors of "ques-
tionable loyalties" are holding posi-
tions in which they can influence
the minds of our young people"
Some, he added, receive a large
part of their pay from "so-called
foundations and are spreading SUBJ
versive propaganda among the stu
dents of this Nation" He did not
identify them.

National Park Fields
For Private Planes
Opposed by Drury

Airfields for the use of private
planes in the national park system
were opposed today by Newton B.
Drury. director of the National Park
Service, in his annual report to Sec
retary Of the Interior j. A. Krug.
Mr.. Drury, responding to pressure
being put, on the park service by
private aviation enthusiasts, takes
the position that landing facilities
near park areas would do just as
well.
In opposing the airfields he cites
the danger of marring the parks
natural beauty, which the service is
charged by Congress to preserve;
disturbance of wild life, particularly
rare birds and animals; increased
fire hazards and intrusion of the
peace and quiet which park visitors
seek.
He also points. out that it likely
would be only 4 question of time
before commercial airlines demand
ed the same rights to enter the
parks as private plane owners.
Drawing line of distinction be-
tween private and commercial avia-
ton, he says it would be like tell
ing the public that buses could not
enter the parks and that "the, only
way you can ride into national
park is in your own car"
Mr.. Drury declared his belief,
however, that Western air tours,
which bring the great Western parks
closer to those with limited vaca-
tions, are thing to be encouraged.
In making Mr.. Drurys report
public the Interior Department said
Mr.. Krug's annual report is ex-
pected to be off the press by mid
January.

Other Allied forces in Germany
also have been dealing in cigarettes
and food, but generally to a smaller
extent than Americans and at a
higher cost to themselves.
Basis of Recommendations.
The seven-m member AMG Investi-
eating Committee based its recon-
mendation for the embargo on two
main findings:
/. Presence of cigarettes in the
German economy had "set up cur
rency competitive to the legal cur
rency which discredits the German
currency, with resulting maladjust-
ment of rationed goods and legal
processes"
2. Presence Of cigarettes as q
cheap medium Of exchange in the
hands Of Americans constitutes an
inducement to undignified trading
with the German economy for per-
sonal reasons, without placing any
thing into the economy in return. "
The investigators found that many
Germans went so madly after Gig
arettes that sometimes they took
them in preference to food, and that
often they refused to accept Ger
man currency for services and In
transactions and demanded cigar
cites instead.
Perhaps the chief reason for this
was that Germans who obtained Gig
arettes-often in transactions at ON
cially sanctioned barter shops
would sell or trade them in the black
market for articles which were
otherwise unobtainable The report
estimated that probably 80 per cent
OF American cigarettes obtained by
Germans at the military govern
ment barter shop here went directly
into the black market.
