Wendell WilIkie
AND
Clobal Politics
i(WNU Feature-Through special arrange
nent with Golfers Weekiy)
By Frank GerUasi

~" nent with Golfers Weekly
Wendell Wilkes recent visit to
the Middle East was the second OF
two memorable events during the
last days Of August and early Sep
tember. The first, Of course, was the
defeat of Rommeps Afrika Korps.
This, among other things, caused
stocks to rise on the Cairo Bourse.
The victory over Rommel re-
moved an immediate threat to
Egypt and at least put our side in
a position to resume the initiative
as they say in treatises on war.
The enemy lost considerable guam
tity of men and weapons. The myth
Of Romme's invincibility was de-
stroyed in a briet hot battle which
was over almost before anybody
knew it had begun. 1t was as brief
as it was hot and almost as destruc-
tive 10 the German war machine as
a short circuit in generator.
There's no tendency here, how
ever, for the British to overestimate
the damage done TO the Afrika Korps
or to underestimate Rommeps abil-
ity to recuperate.
Two Events Collide.
The two events-the victorious
battle and WILKES arrival-coincid-
ed SO closely that they became con-
fused. The newspaper boys hardly
had time to cover the first event
before il telescoped into the second,
and they were very busy with the
second. The blitz visit was crammed
with statements, interviews, recep-
tions, appearances before still and
movie cameras, radio talks, calls
on diplomats and kings, conferences
with politicians, soldiers and more
diplomats.
Short as II was, the correspond
ents worked harder and longer dur
ing Willlzie's visit than at any time
while away from the fighting front.
Willkie shook up their livers.
He sassed the censors, made for
NAL diplomatic calls in a lounge
suit instead Of the sacred striped
pants and tail coat Of tradition.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 4-MGM is
planning picture about the army
nurses on Bataan, based on
current play, Cry Havoc.
studio invited Lieut.. Beth
who served in the Philippines, to
check the script for authenticity.
Lieut.. Veley declined the inyi-
tation and gave MGM a sizeable
chunk of technical advice gratis.
According to reviews of Cry
Havoc | have read there is nothing
authentic in any way that deals
with nurses in Bataan.
There was no such thing as an
air raid shelter on Bataan. The
only volunteers we had were the
wives of few officers. There was
no internal dissension between the
men or women. There are no female
captains in the medical corps of
the army, and no army nurse at
any time carries side arms. For
these reasons and others, my ad-
vice on this play would be abso-
lutely valueless."
So MGM can go on from there.
Or start all over.

He managed to inpart to nearly ev.
erything he did an atmosphere OF
clambake. Censorship, motivated
by the sheer necessity for keeping
Berlin in the dark as to Willkie's
views about political and military az
fairs in the Middle East, prevented
details of his visit from becoming
known. This article is an attempt
to supply some Of those missing de.
tails.
In any other setting, the breezy
politician might have seemed a
heroic figure, remarkable for his
franlmess and sincerity. In the Mid.
die East, however, with its tradi-
tions Of reticence, its conpunctions
of secrecy in political and military
matters, Wilkes act didn't quite
come off. He was usually out of
character and seemed, most of the
time, a huge and handsome bull in

Every time he moved, you wanted
to warn him that he might break

ever, from calling on His Majesty

graphed in sloppy bush shirt, bag

with German prisoners who stood
rigidly at attention and regarded
him with considerable GOODNESS.

Forced Assignment
OF Civilian Physician,
Seen as Possibility
Subsidies for Doctors
Going to Isolated.
Communities Sought

BY the Associated Press
A naval officer conceY1d with the
procurement of physicians for war
time duties believes compulsory as
signment of doctors may be neces-
sary to serve civilian areas lacking
sufficient practitioners.
Comdr. Max Lapham, executive
omcer of the Procurement and As
signment Service, said he thought
many of the approximately l,500
yearly graduates in medicine would
voluntarily go to critical areas. but
If the voluntary relocation failed
to work. some form Of compul-
sion will be necessary"
Ask Subsidisation Funds.
Comdr. Lapham and DR.. Joseph
Mountin, assistant surgeon general
OF the Public Health Service, told
Senate Education and Labor sub
committee yesterday that the serv-
ice had requested funds to subsidize
doctors who voluntarily undertook
practice in communities lacking
physicians. DR.. Mountin said no
action had been taken by the Fed

the service operates, or the Budget
Bureau.

West Coast Reports
Rare Eye Disease
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10.-An
eye disease never before found in
the United States has grown to
epidemic proportions on the Pacific
coast from Portland to central CAL
ifornia, medical authorities reported
today.
Since the disease is not one re-
quiring individual reports to health
officers, the number Of cases is not
known.
About 20 infected workers in de-
fense industries who made disa-
bility claims before the State
Industrial Accident Commission
yesterday said there were 1000 cases
in the bay area. DR.. Bertram P.
Brown, State health director, re-
ported 500 known cases in the same
region.
The disease first causes inf1amma-
ton of the inner Innings of the
eyelids, then extends to the cornea
or clear tissue in the forepart of
the eyeball. 1t produces an opaque
condition on the cornea which i'm
pairs vision. Sometimes. physicians
said. this disability lasts three
months to a year. Recovery there
after is complete.
The eye department Of the Uni
versity of California Medical School
said the last previously recorded
epidemic occurred in Malaga in 1884
to 1888 and that the disease proba-
bly, gained its foothold here by being
brought from the Far East by
infected persons. Outbreaks pre-
viously were reported in India, Aus
! tralia and Vienna.
