Federal Payrolls

To be sure, there has been some re-
duction in the number of employees in
wartime establishments of late, but
Senator Byrd, chairman of the Joint
Committee on Reduction of Non-Essen-
tial Federal Expenditures, declares it
is not what it seems.
Monthly reports show that during
July 2,711,165 civilians were on the fed
eral payrolls. This was a reduction of
1880 from the June record of 2,748,-
545. But Mr.. Byrd points out that if
Navy and War department industrial
workers, to the number of 1890, were
excluded, there would be a net increase
Of 21,372 employees. The committee

therefore, that any personnel cuts in

In the world championship Mas
tiers pair event this year there
was unquestionably the strongest
field in the history of the game.
Every member of the first four
pairs was a Life. Master. Charles
j.. Solomon and Sidney Silodor
of Philadelphia had a comfortable
lead of IS IL points over the
second place pair, Miss Ruth Sher-
man and Lee Hazen of New York.
Seven points behind them were
Morris Ellis and Waldenmar Won
Zedtwitz of New York, while
George Rapee and A. M. Barnes
of New York finished fourth.
In today's hand Silodor found
himself playing. a hopeless con-
tract until he gave the opponents
an opportunity to make a mistake.
West cashed the ace, king and
queen of diamonds and continued
with a diamond, East discarding
the four and then the deuce OF
spades. Silodor (South) won the
fourth diamond with the jack, and
the lead of the ace of clubs dis
closed the bad break in that suit.
Next he played the queen Of clubs
cashed the ace and queen of
hearts, and at this point he led a
small spade toward dummy.
West, who was anxious to get
in and cash his good diamonds,
played the king-and bingo, his
partner had to win with the ace.
Now of course Silodor' made his
contract.
Vests play was a careless one,
but it never dawned on him that
his partner had blanked down to
the. ace. It would have been diff
ficult for him to stay off the
spade, and that was what Silodor
was counting on.

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON - Here are some
questions from veterans regarding
recent changes in the law govern
ing on-the-job training programs:
O. understand that the govern
ment is going 20 investigate every
veteran who is taking an on-the-
job training program. Does this ap-
ply to veterans who started in such
a program after the middle OF Au-
gust?
A-Under the new law, VA re-
gional officials will have power to
say whether or not an on-the-job
program does or does not met
the criteria set by Congress.
Q-What will happen to the com
pany's on-the : job training pro-
gram if, under the new law, the
state withdraws its approval of it?
A-All veterans enrolled in it
Will cease to receive subsistence
allowances, and nc veterans will
be. permitted to enroll henceforth.
Q-How often will the Veterans
Administration check how much
a veteran makes on the outside if
he's in n of the VA training pro-
grams?
A-The veterans outside wages
will be studied anew every semes-
ter, to determine whether they call
for any adjustment in the amount
Of the subsistence allowance he
receives. If the school does not
operate on a semester basis, the
recheck will be made at regular
intervals. T..

Bluethenthal improvements

1xkkNx " (xkAA
Pilots using Bluethenthal airport
agree there is no better landing field
on the Atlantic coast. And they are
right as far as landing facilities are con-
cerned. The runways built by the Army
are long enough and strong enough to
accommodate the largest airplanes.
There are plenty of taxi strips for all
essential needs.
When the pilots go on to say that
once they have landed the lack of nor
NAL accommodations puts Bluethenthal
in a much lower class they are also
right. The customary convenlences tor
themselves and their passengers are
missing.
In order to provide these facilities
the Airport Authority has prepared a
program for necessary improvements,
the cost of which is estimated at $780,
900. The program includes essential
changes in the officers club building
by which it would become an administra-
ton building with dining room, bar,
waiting room and lounge as well as air
line offices. It also calls for a plane
loading apron between the administra-
ton building and one of the 7,000-foot
runways which could accommodate
three planes at a time, instead Of the
single plane the present temporary
apron will hold.
The need for these betterments Is
the more apparent, not only because
they exist at all first class airports but
also because there is definite reason to
believe that within a year Bluethenthal
will be called on to accommodate much
heavier air traffic than at present. Ma
tional Airlines awaits only the compile
ton of the new radio range to increase
it's daily flights to six. Southeastern
States Airline is scheduled to use the
field as a part of it's system serving, as
it's name indicates, the southeastern
states. Wilmington is also on the pro-
posed route of the Caribbean-Latin
American line, and is expected to be
named an alternate port of entry for
foreign flights. In addition, Bluethen-
thai inevitably will be the destination of
many private planes bringing resort
visitors.
There is no lack of patronage in sight
for Bluethenthal, but there is a definite
obligation to provide patrons with stan
dard accommodations. It is as easy to
picture a major railroad d~ischarging it's
passengers on side tracks beyond it's
freight yard in a large city as to en-
vision the planes destined to land at
Bluethenthal on a continuing schedule
without al airport's equivalent of a
depot.
The Authority, once turned down by
the Board of County Commissioners
when solicited for funds, now plans to
present it's case both to the Commission
and the City Council. Unless it receives
favorable action by both, the city and
county governments will place a heavy
handicap upon one of the areas de-
veloping assets.
Certainly the amount of money
sought-$50, 000-will not interfere
with the administrative programs of
either government. On the other hand,
its employment for the indicated pur-
pose will draw ever greater patronage
to the field than is now contemplated
and ultimately pay dividends, in addition
to meeting the initial ootlay.

RESIDENTS VOICE
BASIN APPROVAL
Favorable Testimony Heard
On Yacht Anchorage
AT Holden's Beach

Unanimously favorable testi-
mony in support Of a proposed
yacht anchorage basin at Holden's
Beach was submitted by upwards
of 20 Brunswick county residents
yesterday morning at a hearing
conducted by the Wilmington dis
trict Army Engineers in the
Brunswick county courthouse in
Southport.
The proposed basin, a harbor for
yachts, fishing boats, and other
small water craft, is tentatively
slated to be dredged on the north
side of the Inland waterway near
Holden's Beach ferry.
The purpose of the hearing was
to determine the status of the pre-
liminary plans and to bring forth
all evidence for and against the
project. Not one dissenting note
was heard.
The proposal will be subjected to
further study by the district engi,
neers, after which another public
hearing will be held before the
project is approved or disap-
proved.
