LONDON -U,P)- Diamonds
may cost Hitler the war.
Essential parts of tanks. mo-
bile guns. trucks, and other i'm
plements indispensable in mod
ern warfare, have TO be made
with diamond cutting edges or
drills and the British En-
pire is the worlds largest
source of the precious stones
and dust of which they are
made.
The source of this informa-
ton is one of the best-knoWn
diamond experts in the world,
who asked the United Press 10
refrain from publishing his
name on the grounds that his
parents still are in occupied ter
ritory.
There were some 10000
skilled diamond workers in the
industry before the war he
said. Some of them are here
now and others in the United
States. But there are still a
large number of them in occu-
pied Europe.
"We understand from private
reports, that they are going
through hard times. Beyond re
polishing and recruiting old
stones for the Nazis, they have
little work.
Utmost every implement of
war is dependent to some extent
upon the use of the industrial
diamond at some stage Of its
manufacture. Without diamond
cutting edges and drills, hun
dreds of thousands of parts used
in the manufacture of some of
the most important weapons of
modern warfare, could not be
finished.
I'm peacetime we were used
to seeing diamonds mainly in
the form of necklaces or rings
on the necks or fingers of lovely
women. Today thousands OF
women have virtually taken the
stones from their fingers. In
stead of wearing them as orna-
ments, they now clutch them
set in hard steel tools which
their deft fingers guide up and
down indispensable part Of war
weapons.
"The stones they wore before
the war were higly polished by

AT THE FRONT, Italy, Jan 7
When they begin passing out
decorations for the Italian cam
paign, they ought TO strike a
special medal for the. frontline
members of the Medical Corps.
Every one of them - doctors,
nurses, ambulance drivers, litter
bearers, enlisted personnel-lS a
hero in the fullest sense of the
word.
Organizationally, few men,
bers of the Medical Corps are
supposed to be under fire. Every
company in the line has with 1t
company aid men" They're the
soldiers who get the wounded
on the field, provide the most
elementary first aid - usually
simple bandages and morphine
and carry the wounded to bat
talon aid station perhaps 400 to
500 yards in the rear.
The Medical Corps forward
most doctors are at the battalion
aid station, which is the first of
a series Of medical stations
where plasma is available. The
Battalion Aid Station doctor inn
proves the bandaging and splirt
ing and gives plasma if neces-
sary. Then litter bearers carry
the patient few hundred yards
farther to the collecting station.
IT'S EASY-IN THEORY
At the collecting station. fur
Their treatments can be given and
the patient is sent by ambulance
TO a clearing station few miles
back The clearing station uSu-
ally has a surgical team TO per-
form emergency operations, but
its primary job is sorting the
wounded - sending the critical
cases TO a field hospital few
miles farther back, the less criti-
cal TO larger evacuation hospitals
maybe so miles behind the lines.
It's all done in four or five hours.
That's how it works on paper.
Here's how it works in prac-
tice on the Italian front: All sem
blance of roads stops almost at
the base of the mountains where
the fighting is going -op,-se the
collecting station where the am
balances stop is here. Instead of
being a few score minutes from
the front, it's gruelling seven
hour round-trip litter haul.
The mountainside is steep and
rocky. The mule trails up it are
narrow. One trail has been
cleared of mines, but there arc
still mines on all sides of it, Al
night the only way you can find
your way up is to follow the thin
strand of Signal Corps wire lead
ing to the company command
post half way up the hill. There
too, the battalion aid station is
located-five or six times its us
ual distance from the front.
/ went up the hill with Corp
Robert Reynolds Of Konawa
Okla. who is boss of four squads
four litter bearers each. He had
made the tWo-hour round trip
between the collecting station
and battalion aid station six
times during the past "a hours.
About half way to the battal-
ion aid station, we came upon a
litter squad sound asleep in spite
of the enemy mortar bursting IN
the valley right below them. For
AZ hours they had been climbing
up and down these mountains
without sleep and only one X
Ration each for food.

The Mount Clemens City
Commission this week grappled
with the complications involved
in establishing a sound Civil
Service merit system for all city
employees, and came out OF
their verbal huddle with far
reaching decisions which may
entail a complete revision of the
city's largely out-moded 1914
charter.
The commission without eX-
ception expressed themselves as
favorable to a Civil Service
plan. as petitloned for by the
Metropolitan Club representing
all city employees and some de-
partment heads.
But what plan would be feas-
IDLE, especially when only vague
theories and generalities exist
now among both employees and
commissioners, was the cardinal
question.
CHARTER REVISION
The matter of a complete re-
vision of the City Charter, writ
ten in 1914 (but not adopted un-
til 1919 cropped up naturally.
Civil Service regulations are in
separately entWined with char
ter provisions One set Of rcgula-
tons compliments the other. A
1914 Civil Service plan would
not interlock with a 1914 City
Charter, so commissioners dis
cussed the appointment Of a
Charter Revision Commission
which would modernize the
city's procedures in conformity
with Civil Service set-uI
which now appears for the frs
time certain Of adoption-wher
officials and employees can get
together on a mutually satiSfac
tory plan.
The commission agreed to pu'
further study into the Charter,
Civil Service matter, and make
what possibly may be a far
reaching decision at their meet
ing Wednesday Jan. 10.
