SAN BERNARDINO ARMY AIR
MIELD, Calif.-Squadron H, now
only a skeleton of it's one-siZe lusty
self is in the process of being in
activated after nearly four years
of exemplary duty at this field.
The squadron, made up of Ne
gro troops was organized as the
3O3rd Aviation Squadron and as
signed to SBAAF in October 1912.
At one time as many as 700 Of
ficers and men were assigned.
Now as the time nears for its in
activation it has only 100 men on
it's rosters.
During its four years at the field
the squadron operated under a
number of designations but it al
ways continued to perform its vital
job as an AAF base unit. Many
of it's men eventually went over
seas as requirements and at times
it's ranks were swelled by returnees
from overseas duties. Several
times members of the squadron
served on forest fire crews in
neighboring mountain areas.
1t is expected that men remain
ing in the squadron at the time
of its inactivation will be sent to
Victorville Army Air Field, Victor
vile, California but even more
will be sent to separation centers
for discharge from the service.

AFL Painters Win 81
Houdly Rate in NYC

Washington, Sept. 19.-(FP)-
An arbitrator's award of a 16c an
hour increase to painters and deco
rators in Manhattan and the Bronx
was approved Sept. IL by the Natl
Wage Sterilization Board to bring
their rate to a So per hour figure.
The decision covers 5000 mem
bers of the Brotherhood Of Paint
ers, Decorators & Paperhangers
(AFL) and gives an equivalent
8.7%o increase to paperhangers.
Although the WSB majority held
that the increase was move to-
ward the reestablishment of parity
between rates for plumbers, car
penters and electricians, industry
members expressed fears it would
lead to demand sfor increased rates
from other crafts.
Carpenters in New York City
area are working under an agree
ment of January, 1916, giving them
$2.1O; electricians, $2.25 and plumb
ers $2.25. This contract contains
no provision for adjustments equal

during the life of the agreements.

Health For All
The TB Patients Diet

There are so many superstitions
and misconceptions about tuber-
culosis that the facts about this
disease cannot be repeated too fire.
quently if people are to form a
right attitude about the disease,
its control and it's treatment.
Many false notions cent e r
around the diet of tuberculosis
patients. That may be because
people, on the whole, are apt to
get flood fads" from time to time
and to try to win others over to
their ways of eating. Then, too,
food assumes a particularly i'm
portant part in the life of theNTB
patient who must spend weeks in
bed.
Both patients and their families
should ignore all the well-meaning
suggestions made by friends about
food which "cures" TB. There is
no food that "cures" TB. A diet
high in caloric value and in vita
minis is important in the treat
ment of the tuberculous patient
because it builds up the strength
he needs for his body to fight the
disease. His physician will recon-
mend such a diet and the dietician
in the hospital will plan meals
which provide the necessary calo-
ries and vitamins.
There are still people who think
the TB patient should drink as
much milk as he can hold during
the course of a day. However, IL
he does this he will not be able to
eat other foods which he should
have. Doctors are generally agreed
that a quart of milk a day is suf-
ficient for the TB patient.
Eggs should be included in the
diet, but that does not mean, as
some people still believe, that raw
eggs must be swallowed in guam
titles. Cooked eggs for breakfast,
with the addition of such egg
dishes as custards from time to
time, should be sufficient, particu-
larly if other proteins such as
cheese, fish and meat are available.
AnOtner popular mlSconceptlOn
is that condiments are injurious to
the TB patient. However, salt
and pepper and other seasonings
in reasonable amounts will not
harm the patient. Of course, the
TB patient, like other people, may
have some other condition which
will be aggravated by the misuse
of seasonings. If this is true, his
doctor will so advise him.
Nor is there anything harmful,
per Sc, in tea or coffee for the
patient. If he thinks that these
drinks stimulate him too much in
the evening, then he might omit
them from his evening meal but

Pullman Conductors
Win S44.4O Monthly

Washington, Sept. 19-(FP)-
The Order of Railway Conductors
(unaffiliateO won it's battle with
the Pullman company Sept. as
presidential emergency board in
vestigating the Pullman car con-
ductors' claim to a $44.40 monthly
raise ruled in the unions favor.
Point at issue in the dispute was
the number of hours constituting
the working month, since the union
and the company had previously
agreed to an 1850 hourly raise. The
union claimed conductors worked
24O hours monthly and the COM
pany figured only 225 hours, bring

Illumination Of
School Children
Recommended

Phoenix, Sept. 12-(ALO-Dr.
C. F. Manning, Superintendent of
Public Health, today made a
recommendation to all parents in
Arizona that they protect the
health of their children during the
school year by immunizations
against certain childhood infections.
It was also recommended that
children who have been previously
immunized against diphtheria
should be given Booster" immuni-
cations before they enter school
and that all children entering
school for the first time should be
immunized against smallpox and
diphtheria.
every child should be vaccinat-
ed against smallpox early in in
fancy and should be re-vaccinated
on entering school," DR.. Manning
said. "If all children in the State
were fully protected by immuniza-
ton against such childhood dis
eases as diphtheria and whooping
cough there would be few deaths
as the result of these infections" "
SIN Arizona in 1945 there were
81 deaths from whipping cough
and diphtheria. When such diseases
can be prevented by the simple
procedure of immunization there is
no reason for any parent to neglect
protecting teh health and life Of
his child"
It was stated that immunization
against smallpox will protect the
child, or adult, for considerable
period of time, and that immuniza-
ton against diphtheria secures i'm
munity which can be increased at
any time there is an epidemic or
undue exposure by the so-called
booster" immunizations. Every
parent was strongly urged to take
his or her child to the family ply
sician or health department clin-
les for pre-school and school i'm
munizations.

UN Should Control
Middle East Oil Field
Coop Head Urges

New York, Sept. 49, -(FP)-In-
ternational control of middle east
oil fields is as important as inter
national control of the atom bomb,
Pres. Howard Cowden of the Con-
sumers Cooperate Assn. declared at
a press conference here Aug. 5.
Cowden, head of a delegation of
American consumer co-ops going
to the International Cooperative
Alliance congress in Zurich, SwitZ-
erland, said the group would ask
the alliance to use it's influence as
permanent consultant body to the
United Nations to achieve UN con-
troll of middle eastern oil fields.
"The middle eastern oil fields"
Cowden said, "are the most i'm
portant power prize in the world
and should be removed from the
field of imperialist competition.
We consider this as important as
international control o fthe atom
bomb"
Cowden also anticipated the pos
sibility of a worldwide oil coop.
American coop lubricating oil has
already been shipped from the
Kansas City wholesale to Sweden,
Belgium, France, Holland, Scotland,
South Africa and Australia and IS
countries have indicated their de-
sire to set up world oil trade on a
formal basis. Over one million dol
lars has already been subscribed to-
ward the establishments of such an
international oil coop, Cowden
said.

ENGINEER FIRE EATERS OPERATE STATION
IN THE HEART OF JAPANESE CAPITAL

TOKYO, Japan.-Since its arri-
val here from Yokohama on April
1, 1916, the 1225th Engineer Fire
Fighting Platoon has been oper-
ating the Marunouchi Fire Station
and in cooperation with civilian
fire fighting forces is responsible
for the protection of Army griund
installations including depots, hos
pitals, warehouses, and docks.
On overseas duty since May,
1914 the 1225th first landed at Fin
schafen, New Guinea, where its
mission lay in protecting the dock
areas and supply depots against
fires. Landing on Leyte on D.
plus-8 the unit set about fighting
fires in the Tacloban-Dulag area.
It was during this campaign that
these heroic men brought many
laurels to their unit.
Once during a japanese bomb
ing raid, the USS John S. Calhoun
was set on fire; the untiring eff
forts of the men of the 1225th in
extinguishing the flames and res
cuing those trapped aboard the
vessel brought a commentator
from Brigadier General Frayne
Baker to every man in the unit.
In all, three Silver Stars, two Sol
diers Medals, and five Bronze
Star Medals were earned under
combat conditions by members of
the units.

win in negotiations or on the pic
ket line are often taken from
them by the legislative actions of
politicians who represent the
bosses.
The electoral front should be
given attention equal to that given
other forms of labor's struggle.
But this is not we'll understood,
and such attention is not given,
with the result that workers, in
their economic" struggles often
resemble squirrels on a treadmill;
always scrambling toward a better
life, but never able to reach and
hold that goal.
Fascism VS.. Democracy
An understanding of the impor-
tance and the continuity of the
electoral struggle is of extreme
Importance this year, because the
issue in the November election is
not merely living standards, but
also fascism versus democracy in
the United States.
Let's trace briefly through the
Administrations of Franklin ID.
Roosevelt, to create background
against which this years situation
will be seen more clearly.
From the first, the most power
full and most reactionary of the
finance capitalists tagged Roose-
welt as an enemy of their private
plans for America, and began to
unite against him in and around
! the Republican Party.
They ran Hoover against Roose-
welt in 1932-and won nearly 16
million votes for Hoover, against
nearly % million for the New Deal.
The pro-FasciSt financiers did
not become demoralized by that
defeat, but organized more eff
GENTLY and fought harder than
before.
Willlie-ReactiOn's ''ToOl"
In '36, they. gathered nearly II
million votes for Landon, as
against 27a million for Roosevelt,
an increase Of 1 million votes for
the reactionaries
They tightened up their organi-
cations and drove ahead, and in
1910, with Willkie as the COP cam
didate, ran up vote of more than
% million, compared to 27 million
for Roosevelt.
Willlie was not identical to Lam
don and Hoover, but the reaction
aries were smart enough to make
use of his liberal reputation after
their more reactiOnary candidates
had failed-thus gaining six mil
lion votes over 1882 and five mill
lion over 1886.
In 1914, their urgent desire to
prevent the complete destruction
of fascism abroad forced the pro-
Fascist financiers to resort again
to an outright reactionary candi-
date, Tom Dewey, whom they did,
however, try to present as a lib
eral.
In that vital election year, the
COP campaigned along pro-Fas-
cist, anti-Soviet, anti-labor, anti
New Deal, anti-Semitic lines which
prompted Robert Hannegan to re-
mark that this was "the lowest,
most despicable campaign in the
history of the Republic"
1t was all of that and more. It
was also dangerous bid for power
by American fascism, bid which
failed by the narrow margin of
% million votes for Dewey to 253
million for Roosevelt. Despite the
clearly anti-democratic character
of their campaign, the Republicans
had lost only about 100000 votes
between 1910 and 1914.
Defeated four times in a row.
