Army Adopts Circus System to Rush Building
Of Mobile Evacuation Hospital Near Front
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff cnrresnnnder,

WITH THE 7th ARMY IN
SICILY (delayed) One of the
miracles of this war is the mobile
evacuation hospital
Usually within 20 miles of the
front line-sometimes much closer
"a wounded man has the benefit of
most Of the recent developments of
medical science and equipment,
probably superior to that of the
average small-city hospital in the
United States.
Such a hospital, which seeks to
be Just beyond the range of enemy
shell fire, but which sometimes gets
we'll over the line, is equipped for
almost any sort of surgery. 1t lacks
only facilities for extended treat
ment, for which it depends on the
base hospitals set up on a semi
permanent basis we'll back of the
zone of action.
Take the case of one evacua-
ton hospital here. 1t was dumped
on the shore at Licata at 10 am.
BY noon it was receiving its first
patients. A couple of days later
1t moved again and within couple
OF hours was receiving the heaviest
run of patients in its history.
Hospital Has 200 Beds.
1t is a 2Oo-bed hospital with
heavy X-ray equipment and ap-
proximately SO nurses and special
lists in all the major fields of medi-
cine and surgery. AS an example of
Its efficiency, the staff explained
proudly that there was only one
death among the thousand or more
patients brought to it during the
drive on Messina.
Once its trucks have arrived at a.
station, only an hour and a half
is required for the tents to be set
up, the beds made, the power plant
for lights and X-ray put into oper-
alton, the surgical instruments laid
out.
This speed is due largely to the
adoption of circus assembly methods.
There are more than 500 stakes
to be driven in setting up the tents.
Everyone is trained intensively. Each
enlisted man, for example, drives
exactly the same stakes in exactly
the same positions at each stop.
Each nurse makes up the same beds
with the same blankets. Each doc
tor has his own appointed Job.
which never varies, and extends, in
some cases, to stake driving.
1t is the hardest on the nurses.
They wear CT clothes and shoes.
They move by truck and sleep on
the ground when the position of the
hospital is being shifted. Thev
travelled 1000 miles in the dead of
winter when the unit first arrived
in Africa. Through it all the doc
tors say there never has been any
"grousing" on the part of these girls
or any case where one was not at
her post as soon as the hospital
was opened.
Shells Drop in Area.
Sometimes enemy shells drop in
the hospital area. This means there
was a mistake in judgment in mov-
ing the hospital too far forward,
since the heart of the establish
ment is the power plant, and it
would be virtually helpless if this
were put out of commission.
The evacuation hospital receives
its cases directly from field clear
ing stations, and specialists are
called on at few moments notice
to perform delicate brain operations,
Tor instance, which would be at
tempted in an American city hos
pital only after consultations. There
is no time for such consultations

violence in police car with sound

of fighting
Mr. White and Mr.. Saunders said
one cause of the emotional disturb
ance that resulted in the riots was
a widespread, erroneous report
among members of their race that
a colored woman and child were
slain Sunday on Belle Isle, recrea-
tional and swimming spot in the De-
troit River.
They recommended mobilization
of 200 colored leaders deputized as
special officers, as the best means
to halt the rioting. Police agreed
to the recruiting of 200 Negroes as
special aides, but said they would
be deputized and would not carry
arms.
Auxiliary special policemen
trained by civilian defense units to
aid the police during air raids were
ordered modified. Among them are

ciples Of the Communist party in
1927 were abolition Of private prop
erty without compensation, the erec-
ton of new proleterian state upon
the ruins of the old bourgeoise state,
creation OF dictatorship and con-
tention that American democracy
"is a fraud" Justice Murphy said
that these principles are distasteful
to most of us.
But we do not think the Govern
ment has carried its burden of prov
ing by evidence which does not
leave the issue in doubt that petit
toner was not in fact attached to
the principles of the Constitution
and well disposed to the good order
and happiness of the United States
when he was naturalized in 1927"
Justice Murphy said.
Conformity Held No Measure.
He added in this connection that
Criticism of, and the sincerity of
desires to improve the Constitution
should not be judged by conformity
to prevailing thought"
A tenable conclusion to be drawn
from documents presented by the
Government in the case, Justice
Murphy said, is that the Communist
party in 1927 desired to achieve it's
purpose by peaceful and democratic
means, and as theoretical matter
justified the use Of force and vio-
lence only as method of preventing
an attempted forceable counter
overthrow once the party had OBJ
tained control in peaceful manner
or as method of last resort to en-
force the majority will If at some
indefinite future time because of
peculiar circumstances constitution
al or peaceful channels were no
longer open"

suggests that attachment to the
principles Of the Constitution is not
condition Of becoming q citizen"
Diplomatic Relations Not Considered.
In the majority opinion, Justice
Murphy had taken note of the i'm
plications of the case and said that
our relations with Russia as well as
views concerning its government and
the merits of Communism were i'm
material to decision and the Chief
Justice said he agreed with that
premise.
"The case obviously has nothing
to do with our relations with Rus
sia," Chief Justice Stone said, "or
with our past or present views Of
the Russian political or social sys-
tenn. The United States has the
same interest as other nations in
demanding of those who seek its
citizenship some measure of at
tachment to it's institutions. Our
concern is only that the declared
will of Congress shall prevail, that
no man shall become citizen or
retain his citizenship whose behav-
ior for five years before his appli-
cation does not show his attach
ment to the principles of the Con-
stitution." 4
ITO meet the exigencies of this
case" Chief Justice Stone continued,
lit is now for the first time pro-
posed by the concurring opinion of
Mr.. Justice Douglas that new con-
struction be given to the statute
(naturalization which would pre-
clude any inquiry concerning the
fact Of petitioners attachment to
the Constitution"
Cites Revolutionary" Nature.
The Chief Justice said that the
evidence shows, and it is not denied,
that the Communist Party organi-
zation at the time in question was
revolutionary party having as its
ultimate aim generally and particu-
larly in England and the United
States, the overthrow Of capitalistic
government and the substitution for
it of the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat.

child of and petitioned for citizen
ship in 1923. When the Government
instituted cancellation proceedings,
the Communist leader said that his
citizenship could be Cancelled only
for fraud or illegality and that
neither fraud nor illegality could he
predicated upon the imputation to
him of political views, solely because
of his membership in a political
party whose dectorines are in dis
pute.
Refers to Statutes.
Justice Murphy said that when
Mr.. Schneiderman was naturalized
in 1927. the applicable statutes did
not prescribe Communist beliefs or
affiliation as such and that be
cause of our firmly rooted tradition
of freedom of belief we certainly
will not presume in constituting the
naturalization and decentralization
acts that Congress meant to cir
cumscribe liberty of political
thought by general phrases"
Continuing, the court said Mr.
Schneiderman's conduct has been
law-abiding in all respects and he
added-with the thought in mind
that the Communist party had been
charged with being subversive
organization-that under our tradi-
tions beliefs are personal and not a
matter of mere association, and '''
men in adhering to a political party
or other organization notoriously do
not subscribe unqualifiedly to all of
its platforms or asserted principles. +"
