Neqro WAACS Take Over
Hospital Details At Camp
Detachment Of 300 Under Command
Of Former Atlanta World Reporter

Atlanta, who, before joining the
WAACS, was a newspaper reporter
and a school teacher.
When the Detachment arrived
Saturday, from Des Moines, Iowa.
Col. Walton M Modisette, post
commander, and LIST o. Helen C..
Grote. commanding officer of the
44th WAAC Hq. Co, were present
to welcome the unit to Atterbury
Immediately upon arrival, the

their barracks with military pre-
cision.
All of the auxiliaries have had
four weeks basic training at Fort
Des Moines with about half of the
144 receiving specialist training in
the motor corps, cooks and bakers
school, and clerical field. Tuesday,
1t. j. Paul DuPre of the post hos
pital interviewed the unit and stat
ed that the WAACS would fill all
types of positions in the hospital,
thereby releasing present personnel
for combat work soon.
The WAACS first reaction to At
terbury Saturday night was one
of elation. The outfit, one of the
first Negro units out of Fort Des
Moines, was deeply impressed by
the lovely" barracks and day room.
Sunday they held open house"
in their day room, entertaining
more than 200 guests.
A special train brought the de-
tachment to Atterbury. Capt. De-
veire E. Woodruff, train command
er, declared on arrival that never
has a troop train of mine behaved
as well as these girls. They are a
credit to the army"
Similar statements were made by

Charges British Women
Create Racial Prejudice

with the Indians, she said, adding
that diet of pole-mahjong and
bridge was never nourishing to
ideas.
Mrs. Portal said that prestige
coupled with intellectual artistic
timidy" on the part of Britons in
India mitigated against harmoni-
Gus relationships. She said that If
British children had learned some
thing of the Indians culture and
history, there might have been some
mutual sympathy when the two
races met, because you cannot
quarrel or be unreasonable with
people when you have shared with
them ideas that are eternal"
She claims that entering Indian
family life and bringing Indians in
to "our own home circle" should
be the most natural thing in the
world, but that it was precisely in
this respect that British women in
India had created bitterness.

Bolton Nurse
Bill Passed
In The House

WASHINGTON - CAMP The
house passed and sent to the senate
last Friday a bill providing for the
training of nurses for the armed
forces, governmental and civilian
hospitals, health agencies and war
industries, through grants to insti-
buttons providing such training.
The measure was introduced the
week before by Congressman
Frances P. Bolton of Ohio, and
hearings were begun almost i'm
mediately upon it, Among those to
testify in its favor were Mrs. Mabel
K. Staupers, secretary, National
Association of Colored Graduate
Nurses, and Miss Reva Speaks, SUI
perintendent of nurses, Freedmen's
hospital
The interstate and foreign COM
MERGE committee unanimously re-
ported the bill to the house floor
last Wednesday, and the measure
was voted the next day. The senate
is expected to act just as quickly
upon it.
The program will require the gov
eminent to Substantiate this train
ing by paying the schools of nurs-
ing conforming to regulations which
shall be promulgated, a fair tuition
fee. Those enlisting for the courses
will also be paid monthly stipend
which shall increase from time to
time. No estimate as yet has been
arrived at as to the possible cost of
the program.
Since the objective is to get start
ed as quickly as possible, it is likely
that the United States Public
Health service, who will administer
the program, is already working out
figures to present to congress in a
request for funds to start the pro-
gram this summer.

Certain Amount Of Vitality

How many women are engaged
in mechanical and industrial
pursuits, we can't tell YOU
Probably NOBODY can, as hun-

We do know that some of this ab-

the fact that holding down Job,
running a home, and finding some
sort of social life is just about
all woman can manage. She can't

Giraud On Way to London

LONDON, Dec. 20.-(AP)- Paralleling talks in London, the Brazzaville radio said that Gen. Giraud, commander of the French armed forces also was coming to London for the staff talks.
 The report said he would be accompanied by Admiral LeT11- monier, chief of the French naval staff, and Rear Admiral Auboy- nau, deputy chief.
 Across the channel, Germans were reported engaged feverishly on ounter invasion plans.
 A Vichy broadcast said Gen. Rommel reach the headquarters of Marshal von Rundstedt, Gen man commander in the west.
 Paris radio said the Nazi mili- tary chieftains were mapping plans to stiffen defenses on the German Atlantic wall.
 Reports from Washington indi- cate that Gen. Marshall would not head the allied invasion of western Europe. This caused great surprise in London, where the United States chief of staff had long been accepted unofficially as the logical selection.
 British officers, although re- luctant to accept the reports, seemed to feel that even if the change was made, it did not nec- essarily put Britain in command.
 Yesterday, London papers dis closed that huge American forces were steadily pouring into Brit ain. The paper said "U. s. troops were straphanging across the At lantic on a no-Stop run, in great fleets of transports.
