was eminently sound from a
military standpoint.
Stimson said that Patton,
who had been charged pre-
viously with upbraiu1ng two
soldiers and cutting one of
them, was reported by news
correspondents on another oc-
casion to have "spoken threat
eningly and with undue harsh
ness" to a soldier who failed
to wear his leggings because
his ankles were swollen. The
soldier was on combat duty at
the time.
Beyond the three now listed
incidents, Patton's record con-
tains nothing else of this ma
ture, Stimson said in report
ing that one of the incidents
involved Private Charles l..
Kuhl and occurred when the
general visited the 18th evacu-
alton hospital in Sicily Aug. 3.
Stimson did not make it clear
whether Kuhl was the victim
of "battle nerves" whom Pat
ton struck in the belief he was
maligering.
private Charles Kuhl of
Mishawaka, Ind, has written
his parents that on Aug. 3
Gen. Patton slapped my face
X x X kicked me in the pants
and cuffed me-" Algiers Off
GERS have said that the slap
ped man was from the Caro-
linas, but withheld the name.)
1t was the equivocal denial
of the Shaping as issued by
the headquarters of Gen. Els
enhower on Nov. %, which
was characterized by Stimson
as possibly can error in judg-
ment from a public relations
viewpoint" but sound from a
military standpoint.
This statement said that Pat
ton had never been reprimand-
ed by Eisenhower lit develop
ed subsequently that he had
been rebuked but not formal
ly reprimanded), that Patton
remained in command of the
Seventh Army whose morale
was unaffected, and that no
enlisted man had refused to
obey Patton's commands.
at was considered neces-
sary to Immediately and cate
gorically deny the false impli-
cations that a change had or
would take place in the COM
mand of the Seventh Army, or
that its morale was impaired"
StimSon said.
"The intention was simply
to correct, for important mill
tary reasons, the untrue and
damaging differences from that
incident which Drew Pearson
had made in his original
broadcast" Pearson, Wash
ington columnist, had said he
doubted Patton would COM
mand combat troops again.)
The military reasons for the
statement, Stimson said, "are
still important to Allied oper-
atiOns in the Mediterranean
theater and consequently must
remain secret for the pres
ent."

flcers is to extend over women only.
and a third amendment provides
/ that physicians and nurses are not
to be enrolled in the WAAC Nurses

Missing D. {. Officer
Writes His Parents
He Is Well, Safe
1t. Steven M. Barker
Lost Christmas Gifts
In Nuzi Tunision Push

A letter written by Second 1t.
Steven Middleton Barker on Red
Cross stationery arrived here yester-
day to inform his parents he is safe
in North Africa. after they had given
out a story appearing in Sundays
paper that he was missing in ac-
ton"
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Barker, 1918
T street NV, said they we're over
joyed and maybe the news that our
son is safe will give new hope to
others who have had their dear ones
reported missing in action"
The BarkerS were notified last
Thursday by the War Department
that their son was missing. They
gave story to The Star SATURDAY.
so their friends would know. Now
they want to share their good for
tune.
Mr.. Barker said his son apparently
was missing when 1000 other
American soldiers were given this
status after action with the Ger
mans on February II.
The letter written by 1t. Baker
told of having many unusual ex-
perienCes' and that he had seen "a
fairylike town with white buildings
atop mountain He said he had
received a Christmas package mailed
by his parents last October and had
enjoyed it for several days"
1t. Baker wrote, however, that he
lost much of his Christmas gifts
during the German push and that
he hated the thought of some damn
Jerry using cleanex"
The letter from 1t Barker was
dated March 2 Apparently, his
father said. it was written from a
Red Cross canteen or rest station.
1t. Barker, who is 25. Joined the
Army in MAY, 194l and has been
overseas since June, 1912. His wife
is now living with her parents at
Delmar, N. Y. He has two brothers
in the armed forces and a sister in

High Court Refuses 10 Hear
Ex-ConsuI Hammond 5 Case

Efforts of Ogden H. Hammond
lr, former American vice consul at
Vienna and Leipsig. to force State
Department officials to hold a hear
ing on charges involving his per-
sonal conduct, failed yesterday,
when the Supreme Court refused to
review a decision sustaining the de-
partment
Mr. Hammond, son of former
Ambassador to Spain, instituted
proceedings against State Depart
ment officials to force his restora-
ton to active duty, contending that
he had been accused unjustly of
mimicking President Roosevelt at r
Newport social gathering, and also
of befriending Lilly Stein, now
serving 10 years as a German es-
pionage agent. He was placed on
an inactive status in March, 1941
State Department officials said
Mr.. Hammond's conduct was not
responsible for the unsatisfactory
efficiency rating that preceded his
removal from active duty He lost
his suit in United States District
Court. and that ruling was affirmed
by the Court of Appeals,

offered partly as a means OF
freeing more manpOWer for war
work, a program for standard
/ lzlng designs and ruthleSSly
trimming unnecessary frills from
both civilian and military goods
! has been submitted to the War
Production Board.
The plan was developed by WPB' s
recently reorganized conservation
division, headed by Howard Coon
/ ley. In recent article in Dun's
Review, Mr.. Coonley estimated that
5,500000 workers could be released
for war jobs if simplification and
standardization were extended
throughout American industry.
War ManpoWer Commission Off
/ clals, questioned on the potertiali-
ties of this reservoir of workers, said
they believed Mr.. Coonleys esti-
mates probably were high. but con
ceded that even a fraction of that
/ number would be important
VINO has estimated that war in
duStry must recruit 6,400,0O0 work
ers this year. Half of them must
come from the less essential indus
tries. VINO says, and the rest from
/ the ranks of women, UNEMPLOYED
and handicapped persons and youth,
reaching working age.
Basis of Estimate.
In other words, if the Coonley es-
innate is valid, WPB simplifcation
orders could provide far more than
/ the number OF war workers which
VINO has estimated must be drawn
from civilian industry.
Mr.. Coonley's estimate was pred
| icated on results obtained from the
IS simplifcation orders already Is
! sued by WPB, taking the frills out
OF articles as diverse as hairpin,
and industrial power trucks.
/ Some 5000 workers have beer
/ picked up from industries employing
10000 persons, the conservat tior
! chief reckoned. BY applying this
10 per cent saving to all industries
that are susceptible to simplihcation
and Standardization, the 5,500,0OC
figure Is arrived at.
Through its simplification orders
WPR has reduced the sizes and types
of electric light bulbs from $500 to
| 1.700. heavy hand tools from 1,15O
to 357, auto tire chains from IA
to 3, cloth and paper shipping bags
from 100 to II. Simplification con-
slsts of cutting out unnecessary
parts of product; Standardization
fixes the types in which it is pro-
duced
Steel and Copper Saved.
Such orders saved enough man
hours to build % Liberty ships in
1912. in addition to conserving 900
900 tons of steel and 1900 tons of
copper.
Standardization of weapons which
are subject to the hazards of battle
is rated among the top objectives
and considerable progress already
has been made in cooperation with
the Army and Navy.
When parts are standardized
quicker repairs can be made to
tanks, guns and airplanes in the
field. Where the Army and Navy
both use the same type weapons
they have in many cases agreed tc
standardize parts, and in some in
stances, to make common tests OF
battle worthineSs.
