House States Action
On Compromise on
Service Pay Boost
BY the Associated Press

A compromise bill boosting mil
ltary payrolls by almost half a bill
lion dollars annually was on the
House docket today.
If cleared by the House and
Senate and signed by the Presi-
dent by May 81. the bill would be-
come effective with this months
pay vouchers.
The proposed increases from So
monthly for privates and seamen
to sos for two-star generals and
admirals. They are intended to
help offset higher living costs.
They apply to approximately
3l2 million active as we'll as re-
tired personnel and their esti-
mated annual cost is $484 million.
Omitted is Senate-voted
amendment to give an extra $45
monthly to men who are fighting
in or who have fought in Korea.
The House Armed Services Com
mittee is expected to consider Ko-
rea combat pay soon as a separate
measure.
The compromise calls for a fiat
raise of 4 per cent in base pay of
all personnel and an increase of
IA per cent in allowances for food
and rental.
The House originally voted for
a fiat 10 per cent boost in all
pay and allowances. The Senate
recommended a 3 per cent in
crease in pay and fiat dollar raises
IN food and rental allowances.
The compromise would give the
average loW-ranking enlisted man
a So monthly raise, or per cent
OF the present SIS pay. Most of
these men have no dependents
and their food and lodging are
furnished by the Government, so
the majority are not affected by
the increase in allowances.
For enlisted personnel with de-
pendents, the monthly increase in
pay and allowances would range
from $13 to $19.
In all provisions, the compro-
mise provides for slightly less than
the House voted and slightly more
than the Senate approved.

Remembers First Flight
As Field ARTILLERY Captain

All we heard about when I
was a boy was that Greek
mythology story about the fellow
who made himself some wings
out of eagles feathers and few
close to the sun and the wax
melted his wings and he killed
himself. And we had heard about
the flying machine, but they
didn't believe there would ever
be a flying machine.
Now I have flown thousands
of miles and still don't believe
it can be done.
The kids naturally just take
it for granted. They just don't
realize what a wonderful thing
it was when the Wright Brothers
succeeded in making that flight
at Kitty Hawk.
I remember the first time I
ever saw a picture Of their plane
in fight, just a few weeks after
the Kitty Hawk fight, in one
of those old nickelodeons. where
you paid a nickel to see a
picture. Now I would like to
see you get in one now for a
nickel. They had a picture of
one of the Wright Brothers
flying this biplane. 1t went up
that high. I actually saw the
plane and, as I said a while
ago, I just didn't believe it,
but there it was.
My first fight is something I
will never forget. either. After
the First World War was over,
I was a field artillery officer.
and some smart person up at
the top issued an order that
field artillery officers. captains
and Northumberland I was a
captain in command of a bat
tery-wou1d go up with the
pilots and learn how to observe.
Well, I went back as ordered,
and got in the plane with one
OF those pilots. He didn't want
to take me up any worse than
! wanted to go up. 1t was in one
of those old Jennies. and he
made it do barrel rolls and I'm
melman turns and loop-the-
loops and everything else. And
I want to say to you that I left
the last three meals all over
France. It was a long, long
time before I got over that ex-
perience.
I had another first-time ex-
perience that I think may have
4 been the first time. When I got
back home. I got into politics.
That has been Just thirty years
ago. Next November I will have
been in public elective office
thirty years. This was the first
time ever ran for elective
office, and I went out to a little
alrfleld that had a couple of
runWays about a hundred feet
long. and got a fellow who had
a two-seater. single-wing plane,
and he put me in the front seat
and he got in the back seat.
and I took a double armload of
handbllls and flew all over the
county and the towns in the
county and dropped those hand
bills, on one side of the plane
and on the other side And

Standing on Threshold
OF Greatest Aqe in History

Now we are making a great

wonder if I could read you
a little something here that I
have been carrying around for
nearly 80 years. It is almost
worn out. It was written in
1842 by a gentleman named AL
fred Tennyson. And here is the
way it goeS-this is an extract
from it:
For I dipt into the future, as
far as human eye could see.
Saw the vision of the world, and
all the wonder that would be.
Saw the heavens fill with COM
merce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight
dropping down with costly
bales;
Heard the heavens fill with
shouting, and there rained a
ghastly dew,
Atomic bombs
From the nations airy navies,
graphing in the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whis-
per of the south wind rushing

With the standards of the peo-
pies plunging through the

Till the war-drum throbb'd no
longer. and the battle flags
were furl'd.
In the parliament of man, the
federation of the world.
Now that was written in 1912
by Alfred Tennyson. This is
prophecy of the age in which we
live now. And we are faced with
a much greater age than the one
that Tennyson dreamed about.

on the ground and our heads

President Truman, who has
flown thousands of miles. still
doesn't believe it can be done.
But he's all for it.
In an anecdote-sprinkled ad-
dress before the Civil Air Patrols
annual Congressional dinner at
the Shoreham Hotel last night,
Mr.. Truman mixed his hulnor with
serious appeal for increased
interest in flying.
Following is partial trans
cript of his 1.500-word address:
You would be- surprised how
lonesome it gets at the White
House sometimes. You think
that's funny. OF course, it
wasn't lonesome there this after
noon. Mrs. Truman and I shook
hands with 1888 guests this
afternoon. We have been doing
that about every other day for
some time. But along in June
she will go home, and Margaret
will go on the road. in all prob
ability, and I will have to sit
there and wonder what in hell
Congress is going to do to the
defense program.
Now. I want to congratulate
the Civil Air Patrol on the ap-
proach it is making to Congress
by having this dinner. I don't
know just what you want out of
Congress, but I will say to you
you are going at it the right
way. In fact, I would like to
make a deal with you. I would
like to team up with you. I will
help you get what you want
from the Congress-although I
haven't got very much influence
with them these dayS-if you
will help me get what I want.
You know, have little trouble
in that regard, sometimes.
have got some wonderful friends
IN the Congress who understand
what the program is all about
and who fight valiantly for it.
But, you know, it is a terrific
thing to get a Congress to work
in a presidential election year.
Nobody knows that better than
I do.
I am especially pleased with
your interest in civil defense.
You know how important real
civil defense program is. and
I hope you will try to impress
that on other people - just
as I told you awhile ago.
am also very much inter-
ested in the work the Civil Air
Patrol is doing to interest
young people in aviation. If
we are going to keep up with
our responsibilities in the
world, we must have a country
that is minded. We must
have more and more young
people all the time who go into
the business of flying. Conse-
quently. I have been disturbed
at the fact that there seems
to be less interest in learning
to fly during the last few years.
Fewer permits are being issued
to student pilots. and fewer
licenses to private pilots. That
is not good.
l think one of the difficulties
may be that a lot of the glamor
has gone from flying. The kids
that are growing up today have
airplaneS all around them. and
they take them as a matter of
course. They think it's just as
natural for man to fly as it is
for birds to fly, for bees to
fly and for men to walk. They |
never will be able to appreciate
the excitement and the wonder
that an airplane creates in
those of us who grew up when
there was no such thing.

The reason? One veteran, with the
shadow Of active duty orders hanging
over him, puts it this way: "The orig

derlying thought that trouble was
coming sometime within our useful
flying lives.
Another phase of motivation could
be that we like to fly. Still another
is that if trouble comes, we'll be called.
