WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. —
tf- Secretary of War Robert P.
* Patterson and Secretary of the
Navy James V. Forrestal today
asked Congress for a 20 per
cent pay increase for officers
^ and enlisted men in all
branches of service. They said
the rise is necessary to meet in
creased living costs and to en
4 able the army to compete suc
v cessfully with private industry
in recruiting men capable of
h a n d li n g the complicated
mechanical equipment of mo
j dern warfare. Patterson and
k Forrestal said the increase
would provide additional incen
tive to recruiting, but they
added that it would not “pro
vide all the answers to the
fci problem of enlisting sufficient
* men to make secure the na
tional defense.

THE NATION’S strike pic
ture brightened Tuesday when
a threatened city-wide walk
out of New York transit work
ers was called off and strikes
of city workers in Houston,
Texas, and bakery employees in
Detroit were settled. At the

Texas and Louisana trainmen
on the Southern Pacific lines
was set for Saturday. The

night approved 18 cent hourly
wage increases for the nation’s
shipbuilding industry but the
decision left the prolonged dis

Feb. 26. — The army air force’s
group participating in the atom
bomb test is struggling to be
ready for the tentatively sched
uled date of May 15, but its

and 1,000 people short.” In
telling this today, Brig. Gen.
Roger M. Ramey, commander
of air task group 15, hastened
to say that the air forces will
be ready on time, but demob

making it a problem. Ramey

To Be Part Of
Memorial Park
Project Here
A modern and completely ade
quate athletic field, to serve local
schools and other athletic activi
ties of this and neighboring com
munities, was assured Tuesday af
ternoon when it was announced
that the Chatham Manufacturing
Company has contributed $10,000
for such a field in conjunction
with the Memorial Park project.
The announcement was made at
a meeting at the YMCA of the
park commission, town commis
sioners, members of the Elkin
school board and Chatham offi
cials.
The field, it was said, would
provide facilities for both football
and baseball, including a grand
stand with seating capacity of ap
proximately 750 persons. It was
pointed out, however, that the
money given will not provide
lights for night athletics, but due
to the fact there is considerable
sentiment for such lights, which
will cost approximately $10,000
additional, it is hoped to arrange
to finance such lights by the time
the field proper is completed. «
In addition to the athletic field,
plans also include an adjoining
field suitable for the staging of
the annual Elkin Fat Stock Show
and Sale, and horse shows and
events of a similar nature. The
athletic field will be enclosed with
a steel fence.
A large part of the work on the
Memorial Park at this time will
be on the west side of Big Elkin
