Axis Forces Top Allies
By a Million, Drum
Tells Rutgers Glass
First Army Commander
Cites Preponderonce in
Backing U. S. Increase
2y the Associated Press.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Jan.
25.-American soldiers are trained
not to die for their country, but to
kill enemy soldiers, 1t. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum declared yesterday.
Gen. Drum, commanding officer
Of the 1st Army and Eastern De-
tense Command, speaking at Rutgers
Universitys first winter commence
ment exercises, said the American
Army needs additional men because
the Axis powers, as nearly as I can
estimate. have four million more
men under arms than do the United
Nations at this time"
He called attention to the Govern
ment's plan to take over colleges and
universities for use as advanced
training centers to improve the eff
cheney Of our armed forces, and
said:
I'VE do not believe thai the first
duty of the American soldier is to
die for his country. No greater error
ever was perpetuated than this"
Gen. Drum, who received an hon
orary degree of Doctor of Laws from
the university, said the United States
must continue to throw its weight
into the world balance after the war
If lasting peace is to be won.
I'VE have refused to throw our
weight into the scales when there
was still time to avert war. We
thought we could escape war If it
came. We never have" he said.
Twice we have paid for our mis-
take in the most precious currency
of all--the lives of our citizens"
He told the graduates they were
not the only men leaving university
life as we have known it. BY sum-
mer you will have been followed
by the majority of men now in col
lege the country over

Joint Ang|o-American
Administrative Setup
For Africa Expected
All French Factions
Would Get Representation
Pending Final Settlement
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. ESTABLISHMENT
Of joint British American admin
istrative system for North Africa,
designed to merge all the diverse
French political elements now seek
ing control, is believed in informed
quarters to be one of the subjects
under discussion in inter-Allied
strategy conferences.
Circles close to Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, Fighting French leader. said
he would not willingly consent to
organization of non-French regime
for the French Empire.
Observers, believed, however, this
might be the only solution of the
tangled politics of North Africa if
Gen. de Gaulle and Gen. Henri
Giraud, French-African high COM
missioner, are unable to reach an
agreement at a meeting they are
scheduled to hold shortly.
Official Predicts Solution.
Richard X. Law, British under
secretary for foreign affairs, told a
luncheon audience at Leeds that
many of the worrisome problems
confronting the Allies in North
Africa would sort themselves out
before long"
He added that building "a ire
mendous organization" for the at
tack in Tunisia would take time, just
as similar preparations in Egypt had,
but not an infinity of time and the
Allies should not be respondent at
the rate of progress"
Because of the military Importance
of North Africa to the United Ma
tons, observers believed British and
American leaders were no longer
willing to wait while the French
settle political problems among
themselves.
Joint Central Authority.
1t is considered likely that Joint
central authority will be formed in
which both Gen. de Gaulle and Gen.
Giraud will be represented, but over
which neither would have control.
The regime would be temporary, it
was said, and all important French
groups would be asked to cooperate,
each administering the local terri
tory 1t controls.
The effect, it was hoped, would be
to postpone the dispute over French
policy until the military problem of
North Africa had been solved by
| election Of the remaining Axis
forces.

B, the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-An advance
In rye futures which sent deferred
contracts into new seasonal high
territory impaired strength to all
grain pits today.
Although gains in other grains
were confined to fractions, rye
moved up more than a cent on buy
ing by houses with Eastern connec-
tons and covering by traders who
had previously sold short. There
was considerable profit taking on
the upturn, but it failed to cause
any pronounced reaction.
Wheat and oats started lower, but
soon turned higher in response to
the rye strength Corn tended to lag
behind other cereals and interest in
that market was light.
Wheat closed A4-5s higher, May,

Hospitals See Order
Allowing Pay Raises
As Only Partial Relief
Plun Fails to Provide
For Subsidies to Meet
Personnel Shortage

superintendent of non profit
hospitals in the District looked to-
day on the War Labor Board order
autnorizlng them to grant wage
increases wherever necessary tr
safeguard the health of communities
as only partial relief in the serious
problem of personnel shortage.
Inc boards ruling opens the legal
path for them to offer more money,
they explained, but the authorize
ton was accompanied by no subsidy
Or other source by which hospitals
might pay higher salaries.
There has been a general exodus
OF hospital personnel, especially
men, since more attractive wages
were offered in industries and war
pants. Under the new ruling, hos
pitfalls still may not be able to
offer more than they have in the
past. thus possibly increasing to
an extent the number of their
employees.
Vast Turnover Cited,
AS one superintendent explained,
hospital help can be obtained if
enough attention is given to the
effort, but the great trouble after
enlisting new employees is Keeping
them. The turnover of graduate
nurses in the District last year. for
instance, was reported to have been
better than 100 per cent.
The War Labor Board. making its
flrst grant of such blanket author
ity since its initial exemption of
employers of eight persons or less.
said 1t was acting at the urgent re-
quest OF the hospitals of the Nation
to forestall an emergency. In Cali
fornia, so of them appealed to the
regional Office for the action.
Salary or wage adjustments now
may be made by non-prof1t hos
pitfalls without prior approval of the
board. They still are subject, how
ever, to final review by the WLB,
which asked for monthly reports.
Should it be found that they have
been raised above prevailing wage
or salary levels for similar services
in a given area, it was warned, the
modification may be reversed, but it
would not be retroactive.
Gallinger Is Better OFF.
In the District, the ruling will
apply to all hospitals except Gal
finger and Glenn Dale and possibly
doctors. The first two are operated
by the District and pay their help
according to salary scales set up
under the Regional Classification
Act of 1923.
Heads of other hospitals point
TO the fact that Gallinger and Glenn
Dale are enabled by the classical
zion act to pay their help more
than the other institutions can offer
and for this reason have not been
crippled as badly by personnel
shortage as others.
Last summer, local hospitals
agreed to raise the base pay of |
nurses from s1OO to s1l0 per
month, plus meals and uniforms.
This helped some, it was reported, |
but still did not offset the lure
of Sc a day available to nurses in
other fields of nursing duty.
! don't know where we're going |
to get the money to pay the higher
wages made permissible under the
War Labor Boards action" said one
superintendent. 1--WE could get 1t |
by charging more for service, hut
the public complains that we're
charging too much already. How
we expect to maintain our STATS.
