that today, in giving to the Pcl
Cross. we are not doing for otht.o 5,
we are contributing to the welfare
of our country and the safety of our
selves" HW
From other high-ranking Govern
ment officials came warm indorse-
ment of the Red Cross campaign.
Secretary Hull said: Every one of
the brave men on our fighting
fronts and every man in our train
ing units deserves and ought to be
able to enjoy the benefits of the
diversified services rendered by the
American Red Cross. 1t is our privi-
lege and duty to support their heroic
efforts by generous financial con-
tributions to the American Red
Cross.

Admiral Leahy asserted that this

Admiral McIntire called on Gov

lead the way in making contribu-
tions.
"A short time ago." Admiral Nc
Intire said, Il was able to state that
every wounded man in the Navy
or Marine Corps has better than a
SO per cent chance of living and
being returned to duty or to his
family. In this life-saving process
your contributions to the Red Cross
will play a very definite part. Let
me give you an illustration.
Tn the World War out of every
100 men wounded died. In this war
less than l out of every 100 dies.
When a man is wounded in Quad
alcanal he is reached by members
of the medical department in
very few minutes. He is given first
aid-he is given morphine to COM
bat pain-then if he is in severe
shock he is given blood plasma.
which your dollars will procure, at
the spot where he has fallen.
This life-saving measure must
be made available to every man in

where he may be. If we do not
provide the necessary amount Of

WarWorkers would show up Just as

Guinea as the boys who are there,
because they are just the same kind
Of Americans" said Charles P.
Taft, assistant director of the Office
of Defense Health and Welfare
Services.
He spoke here tonight before a
conference of officials considering
housing and health conditions of
workers in the Ford Willow Run
bomber plant community.
Both in Uniforms"
Mr.. Taft made his remarks 'in
reply to those who compare war
workers with men in uniform" and
added:
"Warworkers and fighters are both
in uniforms of kind, and draft
boards are by and large mighty fair
In deciding which it will be"
He said there had been a sharp
Improvement in the living condi-
tons of Willow Run workers, but
that the job was the toughest in
the world and it is far from done.
Workers Need Care, Too.
I'VE take care of our soldiers and
sailors as we'll as we can in housing
and clothing and feeding and recre-
alton. We can't do any less for war
workers. What are they going
to think if we don't give them any
thing but trailers for open sewers?'
Worker absenteeism should not
be overemphasized, Mr.. Taft said
declaring I'll lay a big red apple
that they are working several hun
dred per cent more than they ever
worked before and they are moving
whole lot less. Let's not damn
them, but find out how we can help
them do better"

Lady confesses she never knows
what assignment she will draw.
Maybe it is her day to play checkers
or dominoes with the men. or to do
recreational therapy, which means
teaching clay modelling, soap carv-
ing. whiting or belt and wallet
making. Perhaps she will be as
signed to the Army Navy blood
donor center, assist women out
patients who come to the hospital
for examinations, serve as a guide
for visiting relatives and friends of
patients, push one of the mobile
lending libraries of books and
magazines, mend surgical gowns and
linen, or plan an affair for the
patients or the newly arrived
WAVES.
If her assignment is ward visit
ing her face lights up, for this is
Gray Lady's favorite She will talk
to each patient, find out his needs
and answer them. She will strive
to be impersonal so the men will
know her as just Gray Lady In
this way the patient will not become
dependent on any individual as a
confdant.
Doctor Is Curious.
What did you do for that man?"
a doctor asked the other day. He
talked to you and slept "a hours.
We hadn't been able to make him
sleep for a week"
Gray Lady smiled She didn't
feel it necessary TO explain that the
patient had only unburdened a
troubled mind and had received as
surances that aid would be given
his family.

NAVY'S COACH
SELECTED up.
GRID LEADER
BY OSCAR FRALEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent


United Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, Nov. 10. (UP)-Capt.
John E. (Billick) Whelchel, who
brought a fighting Navy team off
the floor to whip powerful Penn
Sylvania, earns the nomination to-
day as United Press coach-of-the-
week.
Nays Welchel
Billick's boys had their record of
five straight victories shattered by
Notre Dame two weeks ago when
the Irish juggernaut sank them 80
to 6. But he brought them back
against Pennsylvania to a "a to 7
triumph-after they trailed Z to 6
at half time.
Navy, the records show, is a Sec
ond-half ball club, one which does
its best work in the closing quarters
Of the game That's Whelchel foot
ball, calling for a battering attack
and supreme physical condition of
his men that let's them take advan-
tage of their opponents WEAKNESS
to ride to victory before the final
gun.
Billick, a medium sized man with
graying hair, tight lips and steady
eyes, is all Navy. He was a star
Navy back, himself, in the days of
the first World War, serving under
Lieut.. (now rear admiral Jonas H.
Ingram and Gloomy Gil Dobie
during 1867 and 'l8.
Whelchel, when he graduated in
June of 1919, was one of the best
liked members of his class. His
brother midshipmen delighted in his
never-failing optimism. Nearly a
quarter-century of football has
taken its toll though and Billick
now gets out the crying towel be-
fore every game-and then manages
to win most Of them.
He was assistant coach at Anna
polls from 1919 through 1924 under
both Dobie and Bob Wolwell and
then coached the Plebe team when
Navy Bill Ingram had the varsity.
Then came number Of years away
from Crabtown but Billick still con-
tinued with football.
With the scouting force he
coached its gridiron team for two
years and then moving to the U SIS.
Florida put out two fine battleship
elevenS. Four more years he spent
on the U. S. S. Idaho, still finding
time to direct the ships gridders
and then was head coach during a
three year tour at the Norfolk Navy
; Yard.
Then in 194i 1t was back to the
banks of the Severn for Billick as
executive officer of the department
of ordinance and gunnery. He be-
came assistant to Lieut.. Col. E. E.
(Swede) Larson That season was a
success when it ended with a 1916
triumph over Army and Whelchel
was named head coach when Lar
son moved out on combat duty.
In his first year as head coach
last season, Whelchel,s lads won
five and lost four but again the
season was success when favored
Army went down under a l4-0 bar
rage. Billick's 1913 campaign Is q
success already with six victories
over North Carolina pre-fiight,
Cornell, Duke, Georgia Tech, Penn
State and Penn-and only one loss,
to Notre Dame. Now the Middies
go against weak Columbia for what
should be their seventh triumph
and then comes their game of the
yaer, against Army.
That's the one that Billick and
his boys really want. And If the
score is close at intermission watch
out for Whelchel In the second half.

MoIoni, Bennett
Draw At Hartford

Hartford. Conn, Nov. 10-UP)-
Losing two rounds on low punches,
Joe Bennett, $50, New York Golden
Glove middleweight, gained a draw
in his l0-round bout last night with
Jerry Maloni. 154, Springfield, Mass,
veteran slugger.
Referee Tom digger Mccarthy
started to award the fight to Maloni
in the fourth, after Bennett had
been floored with an overland right,
when cheering fans drowned out
the sound Of the bell at the count
Of five. Bennett, apparently the
only one who heard the bell, was
wohbling to his corner, and Nc
Carthy raised Maloni's arm in vic
tory But the timekeeper rectified
the error, ard the bout went on.
