and ID House members have

this year came as Republican
presidential nominee Thomas A.
Dewey and his running mate,
John w. Bricker, let loose with
new attacks on the Roosevelt
administration.
These attacks were sharply
Worded, Dewey speaking at

WASHINGTON Dec. 20. - up -
Several hundred soldiers will be

, If money and are willing to pay
high prices for special private
nursing. Finally, she IS suo]ec1
to considerable pressure OF one
kind and another to stay Wnere
she is, and so to protect her JOB
and her career after the war.
Women, though they are tit ana
without family responsibilities,
have no national duty under the
law to serve their country: there
are combined financial and lnstl-
tutional and what might be called
professional trade union pressures
uopn women to perfer civilian
to military service. The result is
not only to discourage enlistment
in the nurses corps, but to create
interia and resistance in the face
of the many practical efforts being
made to enlarge the supply of
women who can do some nursing,
be it as nurses aides or Wacs.
Only an aroused mad informed
public opinion, focused it may be
by Congressional inquiry, can
break this logjam in the recruit
ment of women to nurse the sick
and wounded soldiers of the Amer
lean Army.
I do not believe it is necessary
for any one who has seen our
wounded here and abroad to talk
as if the families of the men and
their friends and their fellow
citizens had to be reminded of the
human cost of war. They ca n
imagine, without any one telling
them, what it means to lie on a
bed of pain unattended and un-
cared for over long stretches of
time. When I say uncared for !
am not talking about the surgery
and the medical treatment; they
are by universal testimony better
than any army has ever had in
any war. The record of the Medi.
cal Corps thus far is brilliant
measured by the lives it has saved,
by the numbers of men who have
been spared the Gripping effects
of their wounds, by the number
who in other wars would have
become lifelong invalids.
But I am saying, not on my
own authority of course but on
that of the responsible command
ers. that this record cannot be
sustained if the work of the sur
geons and doctors and of the de-
voted Army nurses and corpsmen
is not reinforced at once by more
women-by women who know how
to nurse the sick. and who by their
presence, and because they are
women moving about among men
who are in pain, in fever, in low
spirits, and are lonely, evoke the
will to live and to recover.
