With several days of I debate in sight, a final House deci-' sion is not expected before late nextc week May said the closed shop amend-I ment was rejected because the com- mittee "wanted to eliminate contro- versial things."

Revel- ii, will present its annual mid-winter concert at 4:15 p. ;n. Sunday, Feb. 4, in Hill Auditorium. With Dr. Edwin F. Goldman, out-i standing American bandmaster, Mor- ton Gould and William Schumann, contemporary composers, as guests and between 250 and 300 high school music directors from Michigan, Illi- nois, Indiana and Ohio, this year's Clinic will probably be one of the largest such gatherings in the United States.

The Clinic which had its inception at the University during the winter of 1938, was established to fill the need for a reading clinic to hear Band and Orchestra Festival literature. By SID FE DER FIFTEENTH AIRFORCE HEAD- QUARTERS, Italy, Jan. 21-(Delay- ed)-AP)-Master Sergeant Frank H. Walter of Greenville,.S. C, has watch- ed the bombing business grow up from bricks to blockbusters and he thinks it's here to stay. It's come quite a way down the road since 1918 when the sergeant then 16, added a year to his age, enlisted in the Army, and wound up as an ob- server in the awkward biplanes flown by the 317th Aerial Squadron. Today at 43, he's a technical in- spector at a 15th Airforce Liberat- or wing. He has to see that the big four-engine jobs, which probably could carry a couple of those old crates on their backs, are fit for combat and; as he crawls into the inside of these new huge models, thoughts of those other days come back to him. They used to throw bricks at Ger- -man observation planes. They used SOVIETS ON THE OFFENSIVE-Artillerymen of t he White Russian Second Army fire in support of infantry advancing against the Germans north of the fistula River in Poland.

Muste of New York City will speak on the subject "What Is the Hope for a Permanent Peace?" at 7:30 p. m. today at Lane Hall. to duck "ack-ack" from .45 pistol shots. Whed the "ack ack" missed, the plane crews would wave derisively. Today it would be quite a- trick to wave at antiaircraft crews from 25,000 feet-even if you wanted to. But machine guns were finally synchron- ized with the propellers-and right there, said the sergeant, "The gen- tlemen's war of the skies began to lose its charm." "At first," he recalled, "we tried to get. on top of the Jerry planes and dry bricks on them. Or we might try to force them to land in our ter- ritory. If we did, we swooped down and waved so-long. They did the same to us. "But late in that last year of the war it all changed. Soon both our planes and the krauts were car- rying demolition bombs and drop- ping them on dumps and railroad yards I remember two days be- fore the armistice we had a forma- tion of 265 Handley Pages and flew over the fortress city of Metz. Aer- ial war wasn't one of bricks any- more." Walter stayed in the Army until 1927, seeing the Pacific, particularly Hawaii and the Philippines, and reached the permanent grade of sergeant. Until 1939 he was a street- car motorman and superintendent in San Francisco. When this war got under way he re-enlisted in the airforce but that was after his marriage to Clarice Vernelle Winn who lives with their year-old daughter at 12 Whitner Street, Greenville. After the war he wants to settle down to a garage business--for automobiles-on his 140 acres three miles out of San Jose, Calif., on the Fresno Highway. "Oh yes," he adds hurriedly "I also want to get an additional 280 acres and run a private airport for civilian aircraft. I expect I'll have my own plane." It is obvious Sergeant Walter ex- pects aviation is here to stay. DR. MARY MINNISS Chiropodist All foot troubles quickly t relieved. Corner Main and Williams Thurs.
