Pilots on Berlin Air Lift Warn
Birds to Keep Out of Corridor

| was the most tolerant man on the
air lift.
He had flown his beaten-up C-5
overseas to Oklahoma City for q
600 hour inspection. On landing, a
civilian inspector climbed briskly
into the ship, took one look around
and yelled:
MY gosh, how dirty can they get?
A guy would think you'd been haul
ing coal"
1t. Harper was one Of the pilots
who helped in establishing a recent
24-hour record breaking haul OF
1922 tons Of coal and food.
Another lift pilot. 1t. Paul Max
well Of New York, had his yarn to
spin. He said he thought 1t was
the saddest story Of the season.
I'm hauling tar on a C-47," he
related. "It was just ordinary black
tar. But during the run the barrel
splits seam. Then 1t erupts like
Vesuvius. The whole plane goes
gooey. Ever try to walk through
that stuff? AL needed was

Frankfurter Unpopular.
The pilots on the "Vittles" run
don't seem to have too much re-
spect for tradition. according to
general opinion.
When they land at Berlin's Tenn

q chance to eat and pull right out
on the 160-mile deadhead flight back
to Rhein-Main at Frankfurt.
The men live and work In the
shadow Of that city, birthplace Of
the famous frankfurter. But take
it from the snack-bar attendants
that hunk of vittles, for some reason
or other, is the most unpopular item

The pilots. on the Berlin air lift
are more concerned about birds than
Russians.
After completing trip on the lift
few days ago, I examined some
notices on . bulletin board at
Rhein- Main Air Force at Frankfurt,
southern terminus of the "Vittles"
operation.
One sign was directly addressed
to the birds. It bluntly stated: "You
keep out Of the Berlin corridor If
you want to stay airborne."
The warning was posted last week,
after a C-54 Skymaster en- route to
Templehof Air Force Base in Berlin,
smacked into a fat fowl and had to
turn back to Rhein-Main because Of
a shattered windshield.
Sympathy for Berliners.
Everything else In the way Of
comment was posted on the bulletin
board, including a note Of sympathy
for the Berliners who have to haul
away the ashes left over when the
record cargoes Of coal are burned.

PRESIDENT

Avis. A quick conference with
Acting Director George Math-
las, brought about the neces-
sary change SO that the Presi-
dental party drove up King
street to view the historic
spots after the Presidents
speech, instead of Company
street, as was previously
scheduled.
Ten minutes before the
Presidents arrival Brodhurst
informed Mr.. Anderson that
the people were disappointed
to learn that the route was
considered unsafe for the
President, since the late Pres
ident Roosevelt not only pas
sed by but had entered the
grounds of the Government
House. Mr.. Anderson said that
his men made no such ruling
and that he would gladly
change the plans if it met with
the approval of Director Math-
las. No sooner was Matthias in
formed of the new plan than
he telephoned Instructions to
arrange traffic SO as to facili-
tate movement of the Presi-
dents party on the new route.

A Grond Jury Matter

Although it is hard to take seriously IN
this day and age spy expose Whlcn
features the surrender of microhlm secrets
hidden in a followed out pumpkin, there
appears to be fire as we'll as smoke in the
latest developments in the Chambers-His
imbroglio.
The turn which events have taken since
Alger Hiss sued Whitaker Chambers for
libel as a result of statements made by the
latter in connection with the Thomas Com
mittee's investigation of an alleged Com
munist ring in Washington is intriguing
to say the least.
Apparently it is also of some Importance.
At any rate, Mr.. Hiss says that when he
learned the nature of certain documents
produced by Mr.. Chambers in connection
with the libel proceeding he directed his
attorney to place them at once before the
Department of Justice. Just what the
nature of these documents is and who may
be involved in connection with them has
not been made clear. Neither has the
public been informed, except in minor
aspects, as to the nature of the microf1lms
which Mr.. Chambers, in response to a
Thomas Committee subpoena, dug out OF
a pumpkin on his Maryland farm But
former Representative, now Senator,
Mundt, speaking for the committee, says
they provide conclusive proof that secret
documents of direct significance to our
national security were fed out of the State
Department by member Of the Commu-
mist underground ."
If all or any material part OF this Is
true one would expect the matter to be put
Immediately before grand jury. Attorney
General Clark has said that, if asked to do
So he will submit the new material to the

Frances Fifth Column

If it can be credited with anything at all,
the Communicated General Confederation
of Labor in France must be credited with
being brazenly frank. With 80 per cent OF
the country's miners drifting back to work
despite its eightweek effort to keep them
out, it has formally declared the coal strike
at an end. In doing 50, however, it has
prided itself on having been successful in
upSetting the French economy and OBJ
structng the European Recovery Program
That was its prime objective-an objective
financed in large part by Soviet money for
the purpose of helping the Kremlin to work
its will against the West.
Moreover, even though they have failed
to keep the strike going the Communist
labor leaders have good reason to be salts
fled with what they have done. For their
efforts during the past two months
marked by numerous acts of violence and
sabotage-have caused France to lose more
than 100000 tons of coal and to spend
precious foreign exchange in order to
make up for the deficiency in its own pro-
duction by importing 100000 tons from
the United States. In terms Of subversion
designed to serve the interests of foreign
power, that is an accomplishment OF Sucn
substantial size that the French Reds
who now proclaim their determination Ito
continue the struggle in different ways
seem fully entitled to commend them
selves as the Kremlin's most effective Fifth
Column west of the Iron Curtain.
The remarkable thing about all this is
that it has been so open The French
Communists have not attempted to dis
guise the fact of their subversive intent
In the service of Soviet Russia. Not even
in the heyday of Hitler has the world
seen bolder or more candid application
of the Fifth Column technique The ex-
ample should stir up great deal of sober
thinking not only in France but. in all
the free Western nations. The big queS-
ton is how genuine democracies can act
to protect themselves against the threat.
Certainly, the situation calls for more
than mere talk deploring it.

For Better Public Service

AS President Truman and other authori-
ties have repeatedly declared, one OF the
big problems of the Government Is to
make Jobs in it rewarding enough to at
tract and hold men of special talent. BY
and large, because they can do better eco
nomicalIy in private industry, such men,
when they engage in Federal service, find
that it Involves substantial financial sac
rifice, with the result that many of them
are indisposed to make permanent career
Of it.
Because it is one of the agencies most in
need of talented men offering continuous
service, the Atomic Energy Commission has
now taken steps to do something about the
problem In cooperation with the Civil
Service Commission, 1t has established a
new personnel policy setting up an indie
pendent merit system. The system, which
Is to 20 into effect next month, will cover
about 5000 Acc workers. but its principal
significance is that 1t will permit the
hiring of scientists, technicians and other
uniquely qualified nuclear-fssion experts
at salaries more in line with those paid
