Commissioner Guy Mason, who
conferred yesterday with DR.. George
C. Rutland. District health officer,
and Ray Huff, director of public
welfare, said steps had been agreed
upon for speeding up filling vacan-
cies in city hospitals, welfare and
correctional institutions.
Under the new procedure, papers
to hire new person are to be
made out in duplicate by the insti-
tuition head, with one copy going to
the department head and the other
to the office of Geoffrey Thornett,
secretary of the Board OF Commits
sioners. These papers are to be
sent by messenger service rather
than mail.
If no complaint is made by the
department head, action will be
taken at the District Building i'm
mediately-10 or Is minutes-ac-
cording to Mr.. Mason. He estimated
that this new procedure would save
as much as two weeks in some
cases. In the past, it was pointed
out, one paper was sent to the
department involved. where 1t

The Americans received an en-
thusiastic welcome wherever they
went in the liberated country. This
proved at times embarrassing.
Relatively few Corsicans have i'm
migrated to the United States
and few American tourists have
travelled in the island much be-
yond the capital, Ajaccio, the birth
place of Napoleon. AS result the
country people had quite vague
Ideas as to what an American looked
like and seemed rather surprised
when he did not show up in war
paint and feather bonnet.
The American contingent were
among the earliest troops to LAND
at Ajaccio.
There were anxious moments as
they stepped ashore. They did not
know whether or not the enemy
had learned of the landing and
were awaiting them in force. They
did not know how they would be
received by the people, although
the best information available in
dicated that Corsica was opposed to
the Vichy regime and would well
come an invasion.

baggage and piled it on a truck

found crudely made American

whether the 9Th Air Force could
stand such losses.
It must be remembered, Mr.. Stim-
son said, that such high losses on
single missions are counterbalanced
by very light losses in other at
tacks-"for instance, a few days ago
SOL American planes attacked air
fields in Northern France and suf-
fered no losses"
Occasionally there is a high pro-
portion of losses on individual at
tacks," the Secretary asserted, but
the overall losses of British and
American planes operating over the
continent have averaged less than
5 per cent"
Mr.. Stimson said also that the
preliminary estimate of approx
imately 100 enemy fighters shot
down by the Flying Fortresses on
