lar with those little orientation
booklets. Before every invasion the
GIs got brochure describing the
country they were about to in
wade, even If they didn't get food
or ammunition. I am quite sure
they did much more harm than
good. Certainly that is true of the
ones issued to the men who fought
in the Pacific theater, because I
read the fool things and suffered
the consequences.
My blood still chills when think
of the little fireside companion that
fell into my hands while en- route
to establish a beachhead at Luzon.
Here was little dandy guaranteed
to make the scalp turn gray over
night and the hackles rise on the
neck. 1t must have been written
by Boris Karloff in collaboration
with Sax Rohmer. There was a
chapter on the seagoing snakes
which would constitute a danger
II and when mans ship was tor
pedoed or kamikazed from under
him. The booklet described how
the snakes swan in schools, as far
as 100 miles offshore, and how
they liked nothing better than an
infantryman wearing a fatigue suit
for their breakfast.
No one had heard of these ma
rine monsters until the book was
distributed by well-meaning officers.

After that-well, 1t was an unimag-
inative CT indeed who didn't keep
scanning the water for those snakes
and picturing what would happen
to him If he had to go overheard.
None OF us knew that there was
leproSy on Morotai-in fact, none
of us had even heard of Morotai
until the brochure on Morotai was
placed in our hands. After that we
all knew that we had leprosy. AS

enough to go ashore after reading
Of its perils in the handbook that
was passed out with the atabrine

honor even If the Japs had met
him with a red carpet instead of
machine-gun fire.
Blood Curdling Essays.
AS I remember the New Guinea
brochure, 1t started off with a de-
scription of the 25-foot crocodiles
with teeth like sharpened fire hy-
drants. 1t worked up to a blood
curdling essay on snakes so big
they'd have to hunch their shoul-
ders to get through the Holland
Tunnel, winding up with a COM
forting passage telling of the head
hunters and cannibals and the best
way to make yourself comfortable
while being boiled in pot for some
chiefs lunch. I know that after
reading this final chapter I stuck a
few potatoes and onions in my
pockets in order to be sure that
when I went to my death in a
cannibaPs double boiler I would be
remembered as tasty stew.

Most television sets will be sole

Television programs will be short

recalled that in the early days of
radio, retailers had plenty of radios

Arbitrators Convene
In Gas Wage Dispute

The Arbitration Board in the
Washington Gas Light Co. wage
dispute convened at the company
Offices today to begin ironing out
basic issues of the controversy.
Members of the panel are Maxwell
Copelof of New York, Federal repre-
sentative; Sylvester Garrett, busi-
ness consultant, and Joseph F.
Castiello, lawyer, company repre-
sentatives; H. B. Douglas, AFL
organizer, and w. c. Doherty, pres
ident of the National Association of
Letter Carriers, for the union.
The unions, Local 63 of Interna-
tional Chemical Workers and Local
2 of International Office Workers,
both AFL, voted to arbitrate May 8
rather than resort to a strike which
would have affected some 26o, 900
Washington gas consumers.
The Arbitration Board will settle
the hourly basic wage increase, and
decide whether premium pay shall
be given for Saturdays and Sundays
irrespective of whether these days
fall within the employees regular
work week. Any increase granted
will be retroactive to April 8, 1916.

Strike Of D. T.. Bakers
Held Certain as Flour
Demand Is Rejected

Rejection by the Agriculture De-
partment of more -four or strike"
demand from a Washington bakers
union today made virtually certain
an early walkout of approximately
1000 bakery employees here.
The demand was made of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Anderson yester-
day by Bakery Workers Local 118
(AFD in a telegram pointing out
that the reduction in supplies of
bread here is "pinching the poor. "
Although no formal reply had
been made this morning, a spokes-
man for Mr.. Anderson said the ap-
peal would be denied because it is
inconsistent with the Nation S
famine relief program"
There are ample supplies of food
stuffs other than bread to feed all
Washingtonians, the spokesman de-
clared, adding that the very fact
that there was a shortage of bread
proved that the Nations program
of wheat conservation was work
ing"
Charles B. McCloskey, business
agent for the union, said the bakery
workers would meet at pm. Satur-
day at 525 New Jersey avenue NV.
.and that the Executive Committee
would recommend a walkout unless
more flour is assured"
He said the workers "are sure to
vote for a strike unless the Govern
ment changes its policy"
Meanwhile, grocers sought new
means of assuring fair distribution
of diminished bread stocks. Carl r.
Van Lowe, owner of the Sheridan
Market at 6205 Georgia avenue
NV, introduced a novel "rationing
system" he said was consistent with
OPA rules.
Clerks at the market now make
note of all purchases of bread
on the back of the buyers sugar
ration book. This, Mr.. Van Lowe
explained, gives the store a record
of bread sold and makes it easier
for the store to carry out it's policy
of limiting each customer to single
loaf every two days, supply permit
