| WITH FIFTH ARMY BEACHHEAD FORCES IN ITALY, April 26 (By Wireless). «Taking over a wrecked port and making it work is, like everything else in war, first of all a matter of thorough organization. Solan . At Anzio the British navy and the American army have the thing organized down to a “t.” Soldier executives and clerks, sitting at regular desks in regular offices, do paper work and make telephone calls and make decisions just as they would in a shipping office in New York. : : Seldom do three hours pass without shells or bombs

You can look back over it, and translate the activities of the past three months day by day, and see what happened and why. Up here the quarter“master corps, which handles supplies after they are } put ashore, has had to improvise and innovate. One pf their main problems is how to keep gasoline fires from spreading when shells hit the dumps, which they do constantly. So Lt. Col. Cornelius Holcomb of Seattle had a brain throb. He had the gasoline dumps broken up fnto small caches, each bunch about as big as a yoom and about two cans high. All our gasoline comes in five gallon American or British cans. Then he had bulldozers dig up a thick-walled ditch around every cache. This shut off the air that seeps in from the bottom and makes gasoline fires 50 bad. Since then they've had dozens of hits, but seldom a fire.

Differentials in wages of custodians were established varying from $15 to $50 a month, according to the building's classification, and added to a basic scale for janitors set at $140 per month. i . The board also approved a recom- | mendation standardizing the pay, for custodians or janitors when they! are on duty at evening meetings. !
