Navy Hospital COrpsmen
The naval problem does not wholly
coincide with that of the army ex-
cept in the instance of naval medical
officers who serve with the marine
fleet force. Army doctors find it nee
essary to handle considerable admin
istrative work which, in the navy, de-
wolves upon the hospital corps, whose
officers hold temporary rank as high
as lieutenant commander. Corpsmen
also have their schools and special
training. The skill and versatility of
corpsmen is illustrated by the phar-
macists mate who, on a submarine,
performed an emergency appcndec-
tony. Work of this kind is by no
means within the line of their duty,
but the case is cited as a sample Of
the caliber of the corpsmen in the
navy.
Hospital corpsmen cover a wide
field of activity, clercal work and cor
respondence, hospital and case rec
ords, hospital supplies, maintenance
and distribution, pharmacy, chemis-
try and allied duties. They do first
aid and minor surgery and help in
operations. They embalm and assist
at autopsies. They may become as
sistant public health officers or do
work in X-ray. They also do ward
nursing, plan camp sites and carry
on field sanitation, do commissary
duty in hospitals, including purchas-
ing and accounting.
The army trains enlisted personnel
for work similar to that of the hos
pital corpsmen in Camp Grant, ILL.,,
and Camp Barkeley, Texas. They
also have officer candidate schools
for medical administrative personnel
at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania,
and at Camp Barkeley.

Editorials and Comment
WHY NOT JUST TURN
THE DOGS LOOSE?

Now the United Automobile Workers
(CIO) are demanding that the So-called
Little Steel formula resisting any wage
increases of more than Is per cent over
Jan. l, 1941, be scrapped at once.
UAW wants new formula allowing
wage increases of 80 per cent. Living
costs have risen that much, the union
argues
Possibly they have But is that any
reason to grant 30 per cent wage m
crease to the big unions. (lt most certain.
ly would not apply to the millions OF
.'little fellows" the white collar workers
and laborers in non-defense industrles.)
What would happen if 80 per cent wage
increases were authorized?
Well, here's about what would happen:
There would be a 80 per cent increase
in the paychecks of the union laborerS,
which are paid by the employers out OF
money furnished by the government (the
taxpayers) on war contracts. AS result
of increased labor costs, the costs OF
commodities would rise again, to meet
the new requirements The income tax
bill presented to Mr.. Citizen would go
up too, because right now he is the one
who is paying those wages. Living costs
would increase all along the line.
Six months from now the union would
be back demanding 60 per cent increase
in wages over Jan. l, 1941, because llv-
ing costs would have increased 90 per
cent.
If we're going to give in to this sort
of demand now, we'd better forget con, COM
pletely about controlling initiation. Wed
better just turn everything loose, and
get ready to pick up the debris when the
crash comes.
If, on the other hand, we're going to
make an effort to control Initiation, we
shall have to remember that everybody
must take it on the chin, and the more
evenly we can divide the shock, the better
for all of us.
If we're going to abandon anything, let
us abandon all thought Of giving IN to
these pressure groups, who care not one
whit for the general welfare, but are mo
tivated by shortsighted and purely selfish
greed.
