chest, leg, etc. A complete record
is made Of the injury and treatment
received SO far.
Next the injured soldier goes to
the clearing station, where a mobile
surgical unit is on hand to take
care Of desperate cases. BY the
time the clearing station has been
reached, men with minor wounds are
ready to return to service. Men
with serious wounds are sent on to
evacuation hospitals, hundreds OF
miles away. Airplanes are frequent
ly used to move casualty cases swift
ly. After treatment at the evacua-
ton hospital, man may be re-
turned to service, or sent back to
the States for prolonged treatment.
II he is unfit for any service, he is
given medical discharge.
Navy Much the Same.
Naval medical care is similar to
the army's. Small ships, such as
submarines and destroyers, have lit
tie more than first aid equipment,
while battleships have . complete
hospital aboard, known as the sick
bay" This includes ward room OF
SO to 1870 beds, surgical dressing
room, an operating room, DISPENSE
ry, laboratory, and doctors and dem
lists offices. Wounded seamen from
smaller ships are moved to these
sick bays.
First aid supplies are located in
many parts of every ship, SO that
destruction Of one section will not
deprive men in other parts of aid.
The marine field hospital system
resembles the army's, with certain
differences necessitated by the spe-
cial problems Of that dashing corps.
Base hospitals are much like those
of the army, being large and COM
pletely modern.
Treatment Of mental cases has
received much attention in this war.
First, every effort is made at in
duction stations to reject men who
would be likely to break down I'M
der stress of war dangers and hard
ships. Despite this caution, many
men crack under the strain. In
various overseas hospitals, admis-
sions for mental ills amount to 20
to Is per cent Of all cases. Soldiers
who suffer neuropsychiatric collapses
are sent to evacuation hospitals,
where they are treated by sedatives,
prolonged rest, food, and certain
techniques that allow them to re-
lease their pent-up emotions. They
are encouraged to- talk about their
frightful experiences. From so to 70

per cent will recover in from two
to five days. Most of the others are
eventually sent home. The navy
has had similar experience, and en-
ploys about the same procedure.
Reconditioning.
The army medical department is
developing program to put the
wounded soldier in the best possible
condition upon his dismissal from
the hospital. This is called recon-
ditioning. One phase is designed to
reerient the handicapped mantle
blind, deaf, and crippled. Blind men
are taught Braille writing and read
ing and other slkills that make life
easier. The deaf learn lip reading.
Men who have suffered amputations
get artificial limbs and special train
ing. When possible, these unfortu-
nate men are helped to earn q liv-
ing in some new trade.
T.lose men who can return to serv-
ice are encouraged to do so, as the
army believes that veteran who
has been wounded in action is the
most valuable kind Of soldier.
These men fully appreciate the
wisdom and necessity Of instructions
for escaping injury in combat.
The reconditioning patients are d.
vided into four classes:
/. Those nearest the point Of re-
covery, who are capable Of eight
hours Of physical training daily.
2. Those who can stand six hours
Of physical exercise daily.
3. Walking cases, still receiv-
ing treatments.

ed have died, as compared with 7.35
per cent in the last war, or less
than half. While these figures are
not entirely comparable, since more
men are killed outright by the more
lethal modern weapons, neverthe-
less, a very substantial improve
ment has been made. The life
saving branches of the services have
more than kept up with the deadli-
ness of the latest bombs and shells.
For instance, in one of the Egyp-
tan campaigns, head wounds result
ed in a mortality rate Of only per
cent. In World War I, from so to
go per cent died. Head wounds are
injuries to the scalp, skull or brain.
Losses of extremities will be much
smaller than last time, it is predict
ed, on experience to date, largely
because infections can be better con-
trolled now.
Control of infection by use of the
highly publicized sulfonamides and
the mysterious and rare penicillin
is popularity misunderstood, army
doctors warn. The sulfa drugs hold
the infection in check until the nat
ural defenses Of the body are able
to kill the bacteria. Penicillin pre-
vents the growth Of new bacteria.
It has been found gratifyingly sue
cessful in treatment Of osteomyelitis
and other stubborn types of infec-
tons that viii not yield to sulfona-
mides. While these miracle drugs"
do not mean the end Of infected
wounds, surgeons say that this most
serious danger is being conquered.
Wounded Get Speedy Aid.
Speedy treatment is probably the
most important point in saving
lives, after the new techniques. It
is estimated that 80 to. 80 per cent
Of wounded men receive first aid
within an hour after being hurt. Ev-
cry soldier carries little kit with
him, containing sulfa tablets and
dressings. If he is hurt badly, and
unable to apply these himself, a
comrade will do it. Then, as soon as
possible, stretcher-bearers come for
him, and carry him to a first aid
tent, the battalion aid station, only
a few hundred yards behind the fir
ing line.
Here doctor examines the wound
and checks the treatment admins
tered by the medical aid soldier. The
doctor treats the shock with injec-
tons Of blood plasma, and gives
morphine to ease the pain. He puts
on necessary splints or dressings.
As soon as the mans condition
permits he is moved by ambulance,
jeep, or litter to q collecting sta
ton, which is also a mobile unit,

all safe. Here the patient is CLASH

Small Farmers, Aided
By FSA Loans, Plan
Increased Production
Peanut Growers Lead
Expansion Of Acreage
Among U. S. Borrowers

Small farm families operating un-
der Farm Security Administration
loans plan to increase their produc-
tion over last year in nine out of
10 important food crops it was
learned yesterday.
Largest single increase pledged by
some 464,000 FSA borrowers is in
peanuts, with soybeans and pork
running a close second. according
to survey by FSA field represen-
tatives.
Farmers operating under the
program, which has been under
sharp attack from Congress, report
plans to produce 374 $4,000 pounds
of peanuts as compared with 217.-
269, 900 pounds in 1912, rise of u
per cent. The Agriculture Depart
ment's Crop Reporting Board re-
leased figures last month indicating
1875 per cent increase in peanut
acreage for all farmers planting this
crop. which is needed urgently for
its oil and oil meals.
Large Pork Increase.
FSA borrowers report plans for
producing 1,178158,O00 pounds OF
pork in 1943, 62 per cent increase
over last year, and 4,028,0OO bushels
of soy beans, which represents a
similar 62 per cent rise over 1912
the survey showed.
Soy bean acreage promised by all
farmers this year showed 81 pei
cent increase. Like peanuts, this
crop is needed for its oil and par
ticularly meal for food.
In only one commodity-sugar
beetS-WaS a decrease in intentions
to produce seen, according to the
survey. Farmers plan $4,000 tons
compared with 1925 $4,000 tons, or
decrease of per cent All grow
ers reported last month they in
tend to plant but 70.5 per cent of
last years acreage.
Farmers plans for production OF
sugar beets are not very definite
this early in the year because of
uncertainty regarding labor for
thinning and harvesting the crop
the department pointed out
Higher Goals Announced.
Here are the other production
goals of FSA borrowers for 1943 and
their increase over last year:
Milk, 1,183,855.000 gallons, 20 per
cent? eggs. 295, ,872 0e0 dozen, Al per
cent; chickens, 224359,0 900 pounds,
so per cent; beef, 613,075, 900 pounds
36 pc rcent; dry beans, 1853 $4,000
pounds, 38 per cent, and fax, $780,
600 bushels. 50 per cent
FSA pointed out that the esti-
mates of production for this year
may be cosidered conservative, ii
and it was further stressed that
studies show "FSA borrowers carry
out their food production plans to
a marked degree"
Reviewing achievements of farmer
families in 1912 the report pointed
out that FSA borrowers accounted
for 36 per cent Of the entire in
crease in milk production last year
27 per cent of the increase in dry
beans and 10 per cent of the egg,

tions to FSA in order to carry on

Gen. Royce Given Flying Cross
For Leading Raid on Manila
Citution Presented
By Gen. Arnold in
Ceremony Here

Maj. Gen. Ralph Royce, who a
year ago led fight of l3 Philippine
ports, was awarded a Distinguished
Flying Cross yesterday for extra
ordinary achievement" The pres
entation was made here by Gen.
Henry A. Arnold, commander of the
Army Air Forces.
Gen. Royce is now commanding
general of the Southeast Army Air
Force Training Center with head
quarters at Maxwell Field, Ala.
The raid on the Philippines was
one OF the most daring operations
in the history of American aviation
as it involved landing in the islands,
dominated by the Japanese, at a
secret landing field.
When he returned to his base,
Gen. Royce and two of his fellow
officers were given Distinguished
Service Crosses at the cabled in
struction of President Roosevelt.
Their flight over Manila Harbor
gave encouragement to the soldiers
and marines still holding out on
Corregidor.
Gen. Royce was born in Mar
quette, Mich, and was in aviation
services during the last war. He
was decorated with the French
Croix de Guerre.
His son, Ralph Scott Royce, en-
tered the Army Air Forces after the
Pearl Harbor attack.
