The W ashington
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
major Robert 8. Allen on active dutyD

WASHINGTON. - 1t missed all
the news sleuths standing around
the Citadel in Quebec, but one OF
the most significant developments
in American foreign policy occur
red when Secretary of State Hull
walked into the Churchill Roosevelt
conference. He took with him
James C. Dunn, the worst hater OF
Soviet Russia in the State Depart
ment.
Jimmy Dunn is Mr.. Hull's intim-
ate adviser who is most opposed TO
De Gaulle, who argued for the re-
tention of the Italian royal family,
who ardently championed Dictator
Franco, and who fought the pro-
democratic, Loyalfst government IN
Spain. But more than anything
else he hates Soviet Russia.
When you put that and a lot OF
other things together with the fact
that Dunn is also Mr.. Hull's most
intimate adviser, you begin to
understand why the Russians are
miffed and why Ambassador Lit
vinoff was recalled.
Jimmy Dunn got to be Secretary
Hulps close adviser in a peculiar
manner. In 1888, when Hull jump
ed from the relatively simple life OF
a Senator to the complicated fol-
de-rol of Secretary of State, Jimmy
was in charge of protocol. That
meant that he set the place cards
at dinner, met diplomats at the
Union Station, and decided who
should be invited to diplomatic re-
ceptions.
This job brought him into close
contact with Mrs. Hull and the
Dunns became great friends OF the
Hull family. Jimmy and Mrs. Dunn,
who is a member of the Armour
meat-packing family, are charm
ing couple.

FROM PROTOCOL TO POLITICS

FROM PROTOCOL TO POLITICS
Jimmy was perfectly suited to the
job of deciding who should come in
first at dinner. But in the job OF
No. l political adviser to the Secre-
tary of State, his mind hanks back
to politics, attuned to meat-packing
millions, which would have been
backward even in the Harding ad-
ministration.
He was, for instance, in complete
sympathy with Secretary Hulls pub
lie denunciation of the alleged
Free French, when the Free French
took the islands of Pierre Miquelon
from Vichy. He was also heart-and-
soul in favor of Mr.. Hull's granting
a passport to Peyrouton, in order
to permit the first Frenchman who
established concentration camps, to

Army Medical Corps
Has Heroes; Seldom
Are They Decorated
(Sec0nd of two articles on bat
tlefield medicine.)
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - The
heroes of the U. S. Army medical
corps rarely get medals.
IF we gave medals for every act
of personal heroism under fire,
says Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk,
surgeon general of the Army, wed
soon run out of medals
The reason is simple. Decorations
are generally awarded for "gallantry
in action above and beyond the
call of duty" When an infantry
man, in the words of the citation,
with complete disregard of his own
personal safety and under heavy
enemy fire." leaps from a foxhole
to silence an enemy strong point,
he probably will win medal.
When a medical corpsman-the
enlisted men of the medical de-
partment-with the same disregard
for safety and under the same fire,
advances to minister first aid to
the wounded, he is just doing the
job cut out for him.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1943-08-28

Although the medical corpsman
is technically an unarmed NON
combatant," and under international
law is not supposed to be fired up
on if he is wearing the red and
white brassard of the Geneva Red
Cross, in practice medical depart
ment casualties are among the
highest proportionately Shells and
bombs are no respecters of inter
national law.
Men in the medical corps, how
ever, have been decorated and Gen
eral Kirk picked little handful
at random just to give you an idea
of the stuff that heroes are made
of.
There are, for example, Jimmy
Anderson, 19-year-old New Castle,
Pa, truck driver; and Dick Jacob
sen, "a, a Humboldt, Iowa, me-
chanic. On bloody day in April
in Tunisia, they drove their ambu-
lance for hour after hour through
such heavy gunfire that the infan-
trymen began to wonder if the old
wagon had substance at all. Finally,
Anderson was wounded and had to
make the last trip in his own am
bulance, with his buddy alone at
the wheel. Both men today wear the
silver star and Anderson the purple
heart.

These leaders recently appeal
ed TO President Roosevelt, Prem
Ter Stain, and Prime Minister
Churchill for permission to call
congress of the Committee of
National Liberation here next
week, and are awaiting an an
sWer.
lin Algiers, Col. Edgar Hume,
military governor of the Naples
area, said yesterday that the
AMG's job in Italy was not TO
put down Fascism, but to de-
feat the Germans.
Crushing Italian Fascism is
mot our business. IL somebody
else wants TO go into the ques-
ton of war guilt later, that's
another matter" he said.
(Hume said hat to date the
AMG has ousted some 500 high
officials as Fascists considered
dangerous to military security
and potentially able TO disrupt
the Allied war measures. The
AMG always seeks administra-
tors outside the Fascist party
membership, but qualified men
are difficult TO find, he contin-
ued. Many persons were NOM
inally Fascists, he explained,
since under Mussolini everyone
had to join the party in order to
work or TO travel.)

NAPLES, Dec. 20 - (P) -
Demands for immediate abdica-
ton of King Vittorio Emanuele
were cheered by 5000 citizens of
Naples yesterday at the first free
political mass meeting in Italy
since the Fascist regime took
control in 1923.
Decorating the walls of the
huge Teatro Politeano were pla-
cards reading THE King Must
Go" and Down With the Fascist
King" The crowd was showered
with leaflets from the balconies
declaring the people demand a
democratic government" and
calling for the monarch's abdica-
ton.
The meeting was a testimony
to the late Giovanni Amendola,
well-knoWn Italian newspaper
man beaten to death by the Fas-
clsts.
Alberto Cianca, editor who
made the principal address, said
Amendoia was killed for oppos-
ing Fascism, and that 20 years
ago Amendola had warned that
King Vittorio was killing lib
erty in Italy" by his acceptance
of Fascism.
The crowd stood in tribute TO
the Allied armies, and the u. S.
and British governments. Count
Carlo Sforza, former foreign
minister, was given an ovation.
American military policemen
stood guard, but there were no
disorders. The Allied military
government, which earlier had
forbidden the meeting, granted
permission for il when Leaders of

people trained from infancy to that what they
want they can buy, provided they have the money
and that it nobody eses business what they choose

You may recall that | have writ
ten about a couple Of hands sent
TO me by Fagin, and now he
comes along and wins his first
national championship.
South won the opening spade
lead. then cashed the king of
clubs. played a small heart TO
the ace, and led the jack Of
hearts, taking the finesse into
West. Fishbein won with the
queen and laid down the ace OF
spades. Fagin, his partner, UNI
blocked with the queen-and
thus the three no trump contract
was defeated one trick.
When Tobias Stone and Alvin
Roth played the hand, Roth
(South) opened the bidding with
one no trump. West doubled, and
and the bidding went pass, pass.
Again the ten Of spades was OPP
cned. Roth won with the king,
laid down his king Of hearts. and
fncsscd the ten Of hearts When
il held he came back TO his own
hand with the ace Of clubs and
took another heart finesSc. On
the fifth heart West discarded a
diamond. and East had dropped
the queen Of spades, retaining a
small spade.
AT this point Roth came back
to his hand with the ace OF dla-
n nds. then led a small diamond
10 dummy. on which West s
queen dropped isis gave Roth a
perfect count on Vests hand. He
knew that West had held five
spades. four hearts and three
diamonds. Now he could safely
take the club finesse-and thus
made seven odd. his contract OK
one doubled with six over-tricks.
