UNCLE SAM STILL IS Chief
EMPLOYER IN HAWAII

HONOLULU, Aug. 27 (ANP)-
The United States government is
still the number one employer in
Hawaii, although the postwar
labor pattern on these islands is
taking shape.
Hawaii has experienced practic-
ally no unemployment in contrast
with the mainland. Unemployment
compensation claims have been
negligible, where in many mainland
communities, the claims load has
been staggering to USES and un-
employment compensation agen-
cies," USES report said.
"At least 80 out of every 100 vet
erans who want to work in Hawaii
are working" remarked Leigh Stew
ems, assistant USES territorial di-
rector. Two thirds of all servicemen
here are still on active duty, and the
number of veterans seeking en-
ployment will increase in the next
six months.
Acute labor. shortages in semi
skilled and unskilled occupations
are predicted to continue for some
in the construction industry. AL
though there are less attractive job
opportunities than several months
ago, actual surpluses do exist in
clerical occupations.
At least 90 percent of the skilled
labor is being utilized by the army
and navy, the USES disclosed, but
many of these workers will soon be
available for private employment
when the armed forces begins large
scale reduction in keeping with re-
duced operational funds.
An editorial in the Honolulu Star
Bulletin warned white collar"
workers that "the lush, flush days
are over and job applicants can not
pick and choose as to their summer
work-or fall and winter work
for that matter"

GLORY LADEN 99TH ACTIVE
IN POSTWAR AIR FORCE

LOCKBOURNE, Ohio, Aug. II
(ANP)-Stationed here at Lock
bourne Army Air base, the 99th
Fighter squadron, formerly the
99th Pursuit squadron, is still func-
tioning as a unit in the postwar
army air force. Having undergone
many changes in the process of de-
mobilization, only one combat vet
eran is still attached to the organ
ization. He is the commanding
officer, Maj. William Campbell.
Tuskegee Army Air field, where
the 99th received combat training,
however, is in the process of closing
down, and it is expected the end of
August will find only 10 Negro
rated pilots on the field. All other
rated personnel will be shipped to
Lockbourne and other points. Ship
ment of aircraft also will begin in
the near future, and the field, now
on a temporarily inactive status,
will be closed down as soon as all
equipment and personnel are
moved.
The famed 99th, which was acti-
waited on March Fl, 1941, received
mechanical training at Chanute
field, combat training at Tuskegee
and Elgin Field, Fla, before going
overseas in April, 1943. While sta
toned in French Morocco, the first
mission occurred in June of that
year against Pantelleria.
Recently, flying en- masse for the
first time since cessation of hostili-
ties, the 99th pilots gave an air
show over Cincinnati in honor of the
annual convention Of the NAACP,
and also signally honoring the
groups organizer and wartime
leader, Col. B. O. Davis, Jr., West
Point graduate, who now commands
the 477th composite group.
Col. Davis, then a captain, with
Capt. George S. Roberts as second
in command, built up the pilot
of the Goth and trained it
for combat. Another original pilot
was Cept. Lemuel S. Custis.
After the Pantellerian and Sici-
liam campaigns, Col. Davis returned
to the United States to form the

St. Louis, Oct. IT - (UP) - Rookie Catcher Joe Garagiola of the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals today offered a new base ball glove with no questions asked for the return of the mitt, shoes and other gear he used throughout the recently concluded World Series.
 Garagiola said he thought sou- venir- hunting youngster took the articles, including an autographed baseball, from his car on a parking lot near Sportsman's Park.
 The sentimental value of the missing articles is much greater than their actual worth of about $15O, Garagiola said.

 Point Picks

New York, Oct. IS - (UP) = The unpredictable South steals the play from footballs big three tomorrow with two critical games in the wide open battle for the bowls"
 Army, Texas, and U.CL.A. rated as the big three until Notre Dame picks up stiffer opposition, all were begged as three touchdown favor ties to win their games as the chief competitive interest shifted to Dixie where Alabama comes up for its classic with Tennessee and Louisiana State meets Georgia Tech.
 Alabama, touted earlier as the southern cinch to receive the most and the best New Years invitations, was held as six point favorite to lick Gen. Bob Neyland's Volunteers but it's the make or break game for the Crimson Tide which so far has failed to capture the spark of greatness.
 State Favored
 In the other headliner, red hot Louisiana State, rapidly gaining support as the south's finest, was a 10 point choice to hang the seasons second defeat on Georgia Tech.
 Although they lack the one-two punch of Dixie's double feature, every other section has an import ant game involving undefeated teams.
 In the East, it's Army riSSing it's p game winning streak against scrappy, unbeaten Columbia. Texas carries the thunder in the South west as 1t opens it's Southwestern Conference season against unbeaten but once-tied Arkansas after bowl ing over four straight non-league foes. U.C.L.A., power team of the Pacific Coast, takes on California which upset St. Mary's 8 week ago, out in the Midwest it's unbeaten Northwestern in a Big Nine con- ference bid against rough and ready Michigan, which lost to Army by one touchdown last week.
 Michigan was a two touchdown favorite, while Army, Texas and U.CLA. were held at 20 points each.
 Friday Contests Few
 Tonight's schedule was the light est of the season 90 far with Tulsa at Detroit, Virginia Tech and Maryland and West Virginia at Temple getting the weekend under way.
 In addition to Northwestern Michigan, the Big Nine has three other conference games coming up Saturday. Iowa plays Indiana's re- viving defending champions, Illinois meets Wisconsin and Ohio State plays Purdue.
 Minnesota moves outside the con- ference for . home game with Wyo- ming.
 With most of its intersectional business out of the way, the South west Conference picks up two other league games in addition to the exas-Arkansas show. Rice, coming fast since it's to 6 defeat by Louisiana State, plays Southern Methodist and Texas A. and M. meets Texas Christian. Baylor plays a non-conference game with tough Texas Tech.
 Criss- Gross Dixie
 In other Southeastern Confer ence games Kentucky was favored over Vanderbilt and Tulane was the oddsmakers' choice over Au- burn. However, many forecasters preferred Auburn on the past per- formances of Travis Tfdwell, a back who leads the nation in total yardage. Georgia plays an inter- sectional game with badly mauled Oklahoma A. and M. and Mississippi State meets San Fran cisco.

Rockne Liked
Basketball

NOTRE DAME, Ind, April 5
Knute K. Rockne, although re-
membered chiefly for his great
feats as a football coach at the
University of Notre Dame, was
tremendously interested in the
welfare of basketball as a sport
at the University.
Rockne, though he never serv-
ed as basketball coach at Notre
Dame, was sufficiently familiar
with the sport to take over the
reigns for a three week period
during the 1919 season when
Coach Charles Dorais was be-
sieged with illness. The ball
club was inexperienced that
year, but Rockne managed to
give some of the better teams
in the Midwest some interest
ing competition.
In addition to varsity basket
ball, Rockne was greatly in
terested in the development OF
interhall sports and during his
era the foundations were laid
for the extensive interhall ath-
letic program now in operation
at the University. In fact, dur
ing his time interhall basketball
was at such a peak that mem
bers of the varsity team often
served as coaches of interhall
fives during their spare time.
