Nurse Is Back
 From Spanish
 Civil War Front
Girl Who Chucked Career
 With Lindy Finds All Jobs
 Look Flat Working In Spain

i NEW YORK - Dorothy FOn- taine traded a nice, safe, clean job at the Rockefeller Institute in New York for perilous labra- l tory duty in loyalist hospital at the Spanish front, and came back with only one complaint the rats gave her the jitters.
 Bombing didn't mean a thing to this slim, boyish girl with tou- sled. sandy hair-but the rats i I'd lie in bed at night and watch them gallop over the cross beams and pray they kep, their 1 footing' - Miss Fontaine lifted her hands in supplication as she spoke. T guess they had lot of practice, though. They never did fall off
 The rats haunted Miss Fon- taine's dreams all through the IA months she spent at the Spanish front But bombings were rout- inc. Twice her hospital at Tar ancon was struck.
 Plenty of dams" and "hells" punctuated Miss Fontaine's des- cription of the bombings, and plenty of explanatory gestures thirty four, but looking not more than 24, she was curled up cross legged on a couch in her apart ment, but shifted her position constantly.
 When she went to Spain, she left behind a research career with pr. Alexis Carrell and Col onel Charles A. Lindbergh with whom she had worked on the mechanical heart" She dumped lt all overheard for a tWo-fold job in the war area-labratory and pharmacy work, Here are some of the difficulties she faced:
 No running water in the hos pital
 Distilled water - hospital ''must'-obtained from a home made still constructed out of two empty oil-cans and a coil of copper wire.
 Constant threat of an alcohol shortage.
 Difficulty in securing serums and other necessities.
 And daily a new flock of pat ients whose wounds had to be tested for infections. Smears were taken to see if they had con tracted anything like tubercul- osis and typhoid
 When the evacuation hospitals were shifted to another point that might happen overnight, Miss Fontaine found - the staff got moved as best they could. 1 Once I travelled five days in a box car, she reminisced, and never took my clothes off, Every time there was danger of bomb ing, we'd jump off the train and try to hide in shell holes. Mean time we'd stop the train and ga ther along the tracks while food was prepared over an open fire. After IA months of this excite ment, Miss Fontaine cant quite face the idea of nice quiet job at Rockefeller Institute-or any where else.
 'I'll probably wait awhile be- fore I hunt for another job, she said.
 In the meantime, she's going to propagandize to have the neutral ity embargo lifted She calls 1t "A bunch of baloney."
