"In the past," Miss Stevens said, "a great many societies like ours have provided such service, with the mother paying what she can on a full or part-pay basis, or on a free basis. We have felt, however, that those mothers are entitled to such care from the government and shouldn't have to accept it from such societies. Some mothers prefer to have their children born in their homes and they should have nursing service." Change in Setup She said that under the present set-up, the state provides nursing care for mothers who are on the public assistance rolls but makes no provision for the wives of service men. Now, these mothers will be entitled not only to the $50 from the Federal Government for the services of a physician but also will be given nursing service by the state.

Miss Stevens said she has not heard of any cases locally in which hospitals have refused to accept the wives of service men in maternal cases for the $50 fee, as charged by a St. Louis physician, Dr. Harry Rich. A spokesman for the Allegheny the marine pipefitters in Federal court, said that the offer of a new charter was rejected unanimously by the marine pipefitters.

First Lieutenant John G.

He said, however, that some physicians refuse to accept their portion of the $50 grant from the Government and so the entire amount is turned over to the hospital for the improvement of obstetrical care.

Brown, the unit's commanding officer, revealed plans are being Local 449, was their secretary-treasurer.

The international executive board. Attorney Schlesinger said, has ordered Local 449 to turn over to the newly created Local 450, Marine Pipefitters Union, all dues and initiation fees collected from its members during August, September and October. The marine pipefitters, according to Attorney Schlesinger, do not wish to be isolated from the parent local, but wish to participate in its affairs and postwar job benefits open to members of the Steamfitters Union. The Federal court suit was continued last week to enable Attorney Schlesineer to select new t. in their home.

Clarence and Frank and two grandsons, David made for dedication of the new port December 9. with his wife, Betty Jane, and Susan Gay, four months old, after a series of adventures that began when he bailed out of a B-17 after it was riddled by flak and fighter fire during a raid on the Ploesti oil fields last June. Bomber Is Crippled At that time, the lieutenant, a bombardier, knew he would soon become a father and he was "sweating it out" in more ways than one when the going got tough. Flak knocked out two of the B-17's four engines and the pilot had to fall out of formation.

Then two Messerschmitt 109s made a pass at them and silenced another engine. However, he and his crew mates had the pleasure of watching American fighters down the Mes-serschmitts before they were forced to bail out of the crippled B-17.

Harry A. Sherman, attorney for Local 178, announced Adams' election following a meeting in the Law and Finance building.

Sherman said that following the election all members of Local 1058 were invited to join Local 178 "to protect their status in the Hod Carriers' Union." Following a row with the international, Stirone was removed as head of Local 1058 and its charter was suspended. Previously, Adams had filed a suit in equity seeking to have Stirone removed as an officer of 1058, and asking for an accounting of funds. Other officers elected were: Joseph Amedick, vice president; John Ugrinich, financial secretary-treasurer; Emil Holtz, recording corresponding secretary; David Smith, sergeant-at-arms. and Clarence Mickens, Rufus Hulett and Henry Jones, trustees. the buildings may be left at their present location by the army.

Major Brown said disposition of a total or four, It was reported yesterday, were crew members of the buildings, formerly Civilian trols running his way as he landed in a tree and quickly cut loose his chute. He buried the tattered eilk under a clump of leaves and ran. But the brush was sparse and afforded little cover. Hides Seven Hours In Tree The lieutenant soon realized he was figuratively up a tree, so he decided to go up one literally as well. For seven hours he perched precariously on a leafy limb, while patrols scoured the ground underneath without once looking up.

Then, traveling by night, he tried to make the 600-mile trek back to Italy. He ate crops from the fields, such ae green beans, peas and onions and ate them raw. Ironically, it was a raid by American bombers that caused him to be captured. He was hiding by a river bank when townspeople, alarmed by the air raid sirens, came running down to the stream for refuge. They had no bomb shelters.

The lieutenant was recognized as an American flier and takenr to prison in Bucharest. Flown Back to Italy When Romania capitulated late in August, he and other captured American fliers were released and flown back to Italy. "I was filthy with vermin and it wras a pleasure to be de-loused," he said. It was then he learned of the birth of Susan Gay. He returned to this country early this month and, upon conclusion of his leave, will go to a rehabilitation center in Atlantic City.

The short sentence was pronounced on John Kowski, 45, of 122 Washington street, who originally wras sent to the workhouse, August 4. 1943, for a one-to-two-year term on a felonious assault and battery charge. Three others who walked off with Kowski were given three months each in the workhouse in addition to the unserved portions of their original sentences. They were John Moleski, 25, Sedgwick street; Frederick Pent, 24, Putnam street, and Walter Melk, of Washington, Pa. All pleaded guilty to prison breach.

It's a Tough Job With the sharp increase in flying at the airport, the staff is hard put to keep planes arriving and leaving the field without flying into each other or jamming the runways. During inclement weather, the tower staff has to "stack" the planes coming in. That is to keep them circling at various levels and other various landmarks so they won't crash into each other, he explained. "Then you have to keep your eyes and ears peeled for unexpected aircraft and also watch the plane movements on the -ground. You're as busy as any traffic cop at Fifth and Grant," he chuckled.

Planes approaching County airport contact the tower when they are about 15 miles from the field. From that time until they are parked on the ramps, their every maneuver is at the direction of the tower which "feeds" one plane to a runway at a time, while the others are kept circling until it's their turn to land. "While we're doing all this," Mr. Fuss went on, "we have to be ready to cope with any emergency, such as planes with engine trouble or defective landing gear. When such an occasion arises, we clear the field, alert the crash truck crew and then bring the ship in as fast as we can." He explained that otherwise the only planes given priorities in landing or taking off are army hospital planes.

The others private, commercial, army or navy must await their assigned turns. "Lost" Plane Located One morning recently, the tower's radio sputtered: "I'm lost somewhere in the vicinity of Pittsburgh!" The voice was that of a harried pilot of a speedy A-20 Havoc bomber flying over the city. The flier couldn't find the field through the haze and fog. Tower operators located the plane, finally, from the pilot's radioed description of landmarks and after they sighted the plane south of the field, it was an easy task to direct the pilot on bis landing approach. sell No.

Veterans Voters League Backs Democratic Ticket The Veterans Voters League of Allegheny County yesterday announced its support of the Democratic ticket, declaring that the "best interests of the nation will be served at this time through the election of Roosevelt and Truman and the candidates on their ticket," although it "held no brief" for the Democratic leaders in Allegheny county.

Congressman Thomas E. Scanlon was particularly endorsed. The organization is headed by John E. F. Byrnes, and the statement was signed by Arthur J.

Bailey, "i i try so busy that tower operators supervise as many as two landings and takeoff a minute for extended periods. Two "operations" (the term the towemen apply to landings or takeoffs) a minute add up to 12u an hour and William A. Fuss, airport traffic controller in charge of the CAA tower, points out that it's no picnic especially when the tower also must direct ground traffic, keep six or seven planes "stacked' awaiting landings and be prepared for emergencies. Revealing the first overall figures of the amount of traffic at County airport, Mr. Fuss said the control tower supervised 7.095 landings and take offs of airline, army, navy and private planes in September.
