Planes Called Unsanitary and Cold | By WILLIAM McGAFFIN, Times Foreign Correspondent ‘BURTONWOOD, England, Dec. 27—There is a serious problem at this United States Air Force repair base. Unless morale improves the work productivity of the 3000 American officers and men kept here to service B-29's and cargocarrying C-54’s from the Berlin airlift will be impaired.

The men say it is rare to haye hot water in the shower baths. One told me that he took his baths at a friend's house in Warrington. One Big Pig Pen That's what it's like inside at Burtonwood.
