STIFF TRAINING

Base (Up)--Young Army and Navy
doctors, most o. them only q few
months out OF college, are being
transformed into hardened men
here to prepare them for the Job Of
storming ashore with invasion
troops.
For many Of them their first Of
flce will be a foxhole on an enemy
beach which they have scooped out
Of the sand with q steel helmet.
Their "shingle" will be o red cross
on Q white pennant.
They are being put through one
Of the toughest training programs
Of the armed forces to At them for
that day.
Their tutor Is II. r. J. Faux,
PSNR, Of woodbury., N. j., who
learned the text the hard way IN
the North African invasion. Faux,
S3-year-old former obstetrlcia1 back
In woodbury., returned from Africa
last December to set UP the train
ing program on the basis OF lessons
learned IN that landing operation.
The trainees live the same life rs
regular lighting men Of the Aln-
phibious Corps. Their home On this
island base Is O tent; their dress,
the regulation battle clothing and
steel helmet which Is the uniform
Of the day here; their working
schedule, often "a hours o day.
It begins when they scramble
down the side Of @ "mock-up'' ship
into o landing craft Allied with men
and equipment. II sends several
hours or maybe q day later when
O beachhead Is secured and the
Casualties" have been sent back to
Q hospital ship standing off-shore.
During that time they have
waded or sw,lrn ashore from the
landing craft, established evacua-
ton stations on the beach and
cleared the shore Of wounded.
An entire landing operation
might fail because Of the failure Of
doctors and Medical Corps men to
clear the beach Immediately Of cas-
ualtieS.
Soldier delaying their onward
drive across the beach to stop and
care for fallen comrades would up
set the Split-second timetable which
Is the backbone Of an offensive Of
this type. Or drivers Of vehicles
coming OF landing boats might
swerve to avoid running over an
injured man and thus cause trafilc
pile-up.
One Of the first and most import
ant rules OF o landing Is to move in
one direction: forward. II Is neces-
sary because Of the unending stream
Of trafi1c from ship to shore. Medi-
cal officers and men are depended
upon to keep that stream unbroken.

Washington, oct. GA second
front established in France or the
Lowlands by crossing the English
Channel Is q military operation 50
sternly formidable that any realist
knows we are not yet ready for 1t.
That Is no escapism. Best Brit
ish and American opinion Is that
the sooner the second front can be
undertaken with reasonable chance
Of success, the hetter-for reasons
political and military. Political,
because It may prove q good anti
dote for the rising Communist SEN
timent In Europe, including France:
Military, because Of sound reasons
Of strategy and logistics. The whole
question Is Of tremendous interest
to Americans because we will bear
the heavier share Of the losses, be-
cause the British to date have lost
more than we from o rllanpower
that Is less.
A crossing from the British isles
to the continent Is taking the
straight, short road from q strong
base to destroy the enemyS main
forces. We took a roundabout one
when we landed In Africa q year
ago. Some American military opii1-
ion opposed that, and points out to-
day that had we taken the straight
road, we should new have q strong
foothold on the continent whence
to bomb Germany with deadly eff
fectivenesS this winter while pre-
pairing closeup for q spring in
vaSion. Other Americans and most
Britishers point to great advantage
es gained by the Africa landing and
to Churchill's public promise Of q
cross-channel invasion eventually.
But the Russians want II now,
and back their appeal by pressing
their offensive, regardless Of loss
Of life. This supports their diplo-
