Awards Made at Naval Air
Station in Twin Ceremonies
At impressive twin ceremon
ies held at the Klamath Falls
naval air station Monday, Lt
Commander Richard B. Brod
rick, USN, a navy flight surgeon
with a background of 21 months
in the South Pacific, was decor
ated with the presidential unit
citation ribbon in recognition of
his outstanding services. Like
wise. Albert Patrick, the first
civilian employee at the air sta
tion, was decorated with a merit
orious civilian service emblem.
Lt. Commander Brodrick in
September of 1942, was one of
the first physicians to arrive at
Guadalcanal, and was instru
mental in' providing medical care
and improving hospital facilities
on that battle-scarred island. '
Dr. Brodrick stated that upon
first arriving at Guadalcanal he
found that facilities were very
primitive and food supplies in
adequate. He-was one of four
doctors who volunteered for duty
at Guadalcanal, one of whom
was lost before their arrival.
He spent ' considerable- time
flying battered human cargo be
tween Guadalcanal and a base
hospital. -The return flight was
usually made with bombs, gasoline-
and -oxygen in place of
patients.
A native Californian, Lt. Com
mander Brodrick completed his
under-graduate work at Leland
Stanford university and later
served his internship at San
Francisco. -
He joined the navy in July,
1940, and served at naval hos
pitals at Philadelphia, San Diego,
Iceland, and Samoa, and received
flight - training at Pensacola,
Florida. '

ice emblem was awarded to Pat
rick in recognition of his out
standing services in connection
with the construction program of
the navy. ' His , citation -was
awarded by Vice Admiral B.

yards and docks, U. S.jiayy, and
reads as" follows:"

board of the bureau of yards and
docks, the chief of the bureau
has this date awarded you the
meritorious civilian service em
blem as recognition of the ex
cellent services rendered over
and beyond those normally re
quired in connection with your
duties in the construction pro
gram of this bureau.
"The chief of bureau congratu
lates you upon your outstanding
performance and loyalty, and ex-.
Dresses his appreciation of the
example you have set for your
fellow workers in furthering the.
prosecution of the war on tne
vital construction front."
The awarding of this emblem
to Patrick is significant in that
it represents the first such award
to be made in this area.
Patrick has been associated
with the navy department for
several years, and served in an
administrative capacity, aiding
in transferring the materials and
equipment for founding naval
bases at Newfoundland, Iceland,
and other foreign ports.

BILL APPROVED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 (IP)
The house Ways and Means com
mittee Thursday approved a
postwar demobilization and re
conversion bill, after rejecting
the administration's program
which called for broader jobless
benefits in the- reconversion
period.
The committee action on the
legislation came after it voted
down a proposal by War Mobil
ization Director James F. Byrnes
that the unemployment benefit
coveraue be liberalized, with a
minimum standard of 26 weeks
payments, in amounts up to $20
weekly.
It sided with the senate in
leaving the jobless compensation
program in the h a n d s of the
states.
Before heading the legislation
to the house floor, for debate
starting Tuesday, the committee
struck out large portions of the
senate approved demobilization
bill. -
It struck out all -the senate
provisions for re-training and re
employment of . war workers,
and eliminated 3,500,000 gov
ernment workers from the un
employment compensation.
Classified Ads Bring Results.
WASHINGTON, Ana. 25 (!')
The war department nus begun
a study looking toward revamp
ing of the National jiuard in tho
postwar military organization of
the United States.
No hint of the specific prob
lems to bo tackled by a special
six-man committee was con
tained in tho announcement is
sued yesterday, but the Question
of political control of appoint
ments of high .ranking officers
in the peacetime National guard
is known to be a matter of con
siderable concern to the army
command.
Fcnrs havo been expressed at
times in National guard circles
that this concern might result in
an army attempt to federalize
the guard, completely, removing
it from its historical position un
der state command as a develop
ment of tho old stato militia.
Tho present army high com
mand, however, is believed to
favor retention of tho guard us
an agency of the states axeept in
national emergencies, although
with an extension of tiio war de
partment's authority over train
ing and over qualifications of
top guard officers.
