AAF Combat Fliers Plan to Keep Feet Solidly On Ground Fort Worth, Tex., -U.R A spot check of AAF enlisted men at Fort Worth Army Air Field reveals that few combat fliers have any desire to become post war commercial fliers. "I flew some 2,100 hours for Uncle Sam, but I'll keep my feet on the ground as far as com mercial flving is concerned," said Tech. Sgt. Allan W. Hicks, 28, an Eighth Air Force veteran. 'I've had enough," was the reaction of Staff Sgt. George W. Walker, 25, another Eighth Air Force veteran with 925 hours of combat flying to his credit. "Nuts to flying after the war," was the comment of Staff Set. Oscar L. Dodd, 20-year-old veteran of the Fifteenth Air Force with 550 hours of flying time. "I'm interested in a new automobile." Set. Joseph J. Bolee, 27, vet eran of the Pacific Theater, said he's going back to work for the Chicago post office "but I'd like to fly if the post office gets planes."

U.R) A key role as an antidotal agency for aggressor nations' youth move ments will be played by Girl Scouts in the rehabilitation of war-ravished countries. Governments and diplomatic officials everywhere are enthus iastically supporting interna tional organization of Girl Scouts, according to Scout of ficial Geraldine Howard, who announced the World Associa tion of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts will meet in Switzerland in November. It will be the association's first meeting since the beginning of the war. Miss Howard cited unfailing determination of European scouting groups to reorganize immediately after release from axis oppression. "One of the great sights in Paris, following liberation, were the Girl Scouts marching 20 deep down the Champs Elysees. And the move ment had doubled itself during the German occupation and in spite of German occupation! "A full year before Mussolini was deposed, the Italian Girl Scouts began rebuilding their organization. The first groups met secretly in the Roman cata combs, right under the noses of the Fascist!. "And when Queen Wilhelmina returned to Holland, she was met by Dutch Girl Guides, dress ed in the uniforms they had hidden and saved for years." Schenectady, N. Y. (U.R) Sunday is a special day for 16-year-old Philip B. Clark of Schenectady. He sits in his home-made base ment radio studio waiting for a "cue" from the minister of Faith Lutheran Church. When the light flashes, young Clark spins a turntable and organ music fills the church from a wooden loudspeaker behind the pulpit. It Is the church's only source of music. When the area's youngest licensed radio engineer was un able to make up his mind whether to make music or en gineering his hobby, he decided to combine the two. Clark built the cellar radio studio and control room. It is about the size of an average clothes press, contains a wooden control panel, a turntable with two speeds, and a large wooden shelf for records. In addition to supplying the church with music, Clark also furnishes "canned music" for the family through loudspeaker and radio connections through out the house. At times he even entertains with "live music" from an or gan. Clark built the organ about two years ago. Materials used Include toothpicks, a vacuum cleaner and a keyboard from an ancient organ. The youthful engineer plays by ear and apparently inherits his talent for music from his mother, who was once a singer. His knack for puttering with electrical apparatus probably comes from his father, a General Electric Co. engineer.
