Wolf, commanding officer of Ogden Air Technical Service Command, has publicly comended all Hill Field employes and military personnel for their port in helping achieve victory. In a statement to Utah newspapers and radio. Col. Wolf declared that members of Hill Field did a "magnificent job in performing the assigned mission. World War II, the most destructive and fearful war the world has ever seen, came to an abrupt end Tuesday at 5 p.m., mountain war time, when Japan surrendered to the United States and other Allies after more than three years and eight months of bloody conflict. Employes were scheduled to return to work Friday after a two-da- y holiday proclaimed by President Truman. As the Hillfielder was going to press. Col. Wolf was making plans to address employes and military personnel and reiterate to them' personally his appreciation and admiration for their work. Col. Wolf also announced his intention of keeping employes and military personnel informed as much as possible as to the future plans for Hill Field. However, he said he anticipated many months of work ahead for the command in connection with reconversion activities alone. The country is faced with a tremendous job of returning men, supplies and equipment from distant shores. This will require continued efforts by installations such as Hill Field.
