During my visit I saw patient
suffering from diphtheria being
hospitalized across the corridor

asthma. At the end of a short COR

pitalized several patients suffering
from the degenerated diseases of

1T is recommended that a COM

one end of the hospital with a

also recommended that personnel
caring for patients suffering with

Keep Racial Prejudice Out Of Mass" Rally June II
FEPC Barely Alive

The House of Representa-

Agencies Appropriations Bill,

dollars for the operation of

been twice voted down and the
opposition of Southern Demo

record vote on the bill.
For two days previous to
passage of the bill, bitter dis
cusSions on the FEPC had held
up the funds of all of the ag-
encies involved awaiting funds
for the new zScal year.
The main opposition to the
FEPC came from Representa-

Georgia, Hobbs of Alabama and
Russell OF Georgia, who char

acterized FEPC as a device to
force social equality" on the
South and to prevent white
men from getting jobs.
On a standing vote taken on
TarverS amendment to deny
funds to the FEPC, a large
number of Republicans voted
along with the Southerners on
two occasions and the FEPC
seemed doomed. When Marcan-
tonic pointed out that the
FEPC was only to prevent dis
elimination against workers
because of race, color, or creed
and demanded tellerS, the
Tarver amendment was defeat
ed by a margin of 1913 to 119,
and the FEPC was included in
the general appropriations bill.
Diehard Southerners, rather
than finance FEPC, continued
to oppose the entire war ag-
encies bill, and 81 out of So
NAY" votes came from this
group.

he continued, call for a toler-

"The Postwar period" Rev
Burton continued, demands of
every community the very best
type of representation and FOR
that reason, Ward 9 must nom
mate and elect the man best
qualified to represent them.
He continued that, 'in order

In the second surgery, a team

simultaneously, in the third
surgery, another team headed
by Capt. Lawrence Hurt, Lex
ington, KY, is removing frag-
ments from a chest and abdom-
en-. The operations are long
between two and three hours.
Back in the shock tent, other
patients are waiting. AS the
operations are finished, litter
bearers carry the patients to a
nearby ward tent. It's tricky
going with litter through thu
mud. One slip might undo hours
of operating. The litter bearers
don't slip.
Between operations, the teams
slip over to the mess tent for a
midnight snack. Then back to
surgery. BY 2 a. m, only two
patients are left. Blood donors
are sleeping on cots in readiness
next to them. The rain and ar
tillery have ceased. The operat-
ing goes on.

ton is finished It has been a

sometimes have worked 80
hours without sleep. But the

Back in the surgery, three op-
Grating teams are getting ready.
Instruments are boiling in a
huge pot on a G. I. stove. All
water for this hospital has to be
brought several miles in five
gallon jugs.
In each of the three surgery
tents, a field operating table
stands in the center and is sup
ported on boards TO keep it
from sinking into. the soggy
ground. The tents leak a little
where they are joined, and mud
is inevitably tracked in.
+ Down the center of each sur
gerry are strung lights powered
by a portable generator. You
can find your way to surgery on
a dark night by listening to the
generators humming The OPP
Grating lamps are makeshifts.
Portable lights and even flash
lights often have to be used dur
ing operations. Oxygen bottles
are stacked around the center
pole at the head of the operating
table. A small coal stove at one
end of the tent makes a feeble
attempt to keep 1t warm.
Each surgical team consists of
a surgeon and an assistant, an
anesthetist, nurse and two en-
listed men.
They are now ready for the

as the litter bearers bring in the
