Comparable grades in the other branches get the same. Above the grade of private, there's no flat pay scale. The pay then ranges from a minimum to a maximum, depending on length of service.

There are three groups in the army: 1. The non-commissioned men: From recruit the draftee or the volunteer without previous experience to master sergeant. 2. Warrant officers: A special group in between the non-commissioned men and the commissioned officers. Warrant officers do administrative work or are technical specialists.

Now Take Allowances: Any man below the rank of corporal at this time is considered to have no dependents, al-mos-t all cases the government feeds, clothes and houses him. But, if lodging isn't provided for him, he gets $45 to pay for his housing. The same is true for any corporal with less than seven years' service. But it's different ior a corporal with seven or more years' service and for the three of sergeants, If they're single but the government doesn't provide their living quarters, they get $45 to pay for their own. If they're married and the government doesn't provide living quarters for them and their families, then they get $67.50 to pay for living quarters for their family.

Food Provided No man below the rank of commissioned officer gets any allowance ior food. The government is supposed to provide it. i The warrant officers and commissioned off icers of all ranks get a flat government allowance of $21 a month for ood, if single, and $42 if married. All warrant and commissioned officers get a government allowance for lodgings, whether married or single. The amount "varies hy rank.

8-P)-A premature boxcar shortage affecting northwest grain and lumber shipments was reported getting worse daily in statements today by industry spokesmen. Grain is due to be piled outdoors at country points. Some lumber mills already have closed. Earl C. Corey, chairman of the Pacific northwest emergency transportation committee, said some of the region's grain labeled for export in August would not get to port.

He reported the interstate commerce commission had turned down a committee request intervene in the consignment of boxcars. Corey said the ICC telegram stated the shortage was countrywide and "we know of no way to alleviate the The flour mill executive said the committee had estimated earlier that 8989 cars should move from country points to marine terminals in August to meet export commitments on grain and flour. He doubted anywhere near that figure would be available. Worst To Come There was no statistics for the lumber- industry, but the west coast lumbermen's association warned the worst shipping situation of this year was still ahead and it already was bad. K.

C. Batchelder, the association's traffic manager, left today for San Francisco for a conference with Southern Pacific railway of ficials. Before leaving, Batchelder said "scores of mills" in the Douglas fir. region had curtailed operations. He said they had laid off night shifts, loading crews and stopped some saws or planers.

He reported the situation had tightened up in May. In previous years, the shortage had become acute in August or later. There seemed no likelihood of improvement until November, he added. R. t.

Titus, vice president of the western forest industries association, reported the public utilities commission had been asked to order the railroads to keep records of boxcar distribution. The request was based on a PUC study which he said indicated a wide variation in car distribution. Titus said one southern Oregon border town had received 60 percent of its past shipping needs while one Willamette valley city had received only 37 percent the past five weeks. Pilots Violating Three Closed Areas SEATTLE, Aug. MV-Despite fines from $25 to $150, more and more northwest pilots are violating security measures over three closed areas in Washington state, D.

Auir. 8 (P) President Truman asked congress today for a tighter espionage law and a new law requiring aliens to report where they are and what they are doing. Mr, Truman said additional anti-sabotage a security legislation is needed because Communist imperialism seeks to "weaken and overthrow free nations by working with in then So he recommended that congress: 1.

Remedy in present laws governing "espionage, the registration of foreign agents, and the security of national defense instal lations." 2. Give the attorney general power to require aliens to report "their whereabouts and activities at Tegular intervals." In a 3500 message to the lawmakers, Mr. Truman asked them to be wary of any action limiting personal "liberty. But he said the bill of rights is not 'intended "to prevent the government from maintaining our nation's integrity against subversion or attack." Face Communist Threat Explaining why he thinks stiller laws and a new law are needed president said the present international situation has been created "byihe rise of totalitarianism first of the totalitarianism of the right and now that of the left." "Today, we face most acutely the threat of the Communist movement, international in scope, directed from a central source, and committed to the overthrow of democratic institutions throughout the world." Mr. Truman's message appeared to be an attempt to block any security bill bearing a Republican label and push through one with an administration tag.

Meaiuras Pending Several measureato combat Communism ancVisuDversive activities are pending in congress. Those most widely known are backed by BepV Nixon and Senator Mundt Nixon is a member of the house unAmerican activities committee and Mundt used to be before mov-. ing from house to senate. In 1948 the GOP controlled house passed their Mundt-Nixon bill but the senate failed to go along. This bill required, among other things, that Communists and Communist fronts register with the justice department.

It looked for a while as though similar legislation would get nowhere in this congress. But the Korean war generated steam for some sort of legislation. If caught in the open by an ap proaching tornado, experts advise you to run, not walk, at right angles to its path. You may be able to get out of the way.

Jennie Race, of Portland, has been recommended for a silver star. If award ed it will be a cluster for the one he earned on New Guinea in World War n. Ezzell's superior officer, Maj. Forrest Kleinman of Salt Lake City, told this correspondent Ezzell several times has gone far beyond the call of duty in carrying out assignments in the Korean fighting. "At Chinju we were warned the enemy was coming through a large gap between our battalions," Kleinman said.

"We decided to plug the gap with South Korean police, putting one noncom with each group of 25 policemen. "These groups became pinned down and there was no way to relieve them. Many slipped out during the night but Ezzell struck 36 hour? without food. Further, he added stragglers from other withdrawing groups to his outfit and advanced to a. prominent point from where he sent intelligence reports to us by messenger.

Three other Americans attached themselves to his party. He came out only when ordered to do so. "On Aug. 2 Ezzell volunteered to try to save some American tanks trapped ahead of our lines. He suggested that riflemen go ahead of a rescue tank to protect it from Bazooka -teams and led eight men on this dangerous mission.

Enemy fire became so hot the rescue mission was cancelled. While it failed Ezzell's idea and action robably prevented loss of the rescue tank" The sergeant was in the recruiting service in Portland, from 1946 to 1948. He entered the 24th division as a replacement from the First Vavalry division.
