Nurses Alone
Not To Blame
For Shortage
By RUTH MILLETT

"Eleven army hospital units are
about to be sent overseas without
anv nurses because OF the lag IN
nurse recruitment" says recent
news item.
Who is responsible for that? Not
lust the women who belong TO 1ne
nursing profession.
Every man or woman VINO mas
used the war for his personal gain
is responsible. For why should we
expect a nurse to give up good
nav and a comparatively soft lie
Ia 90 into service for less money
and the prospect Of facing hard.
ship. danger, and even death, II
Other folks feel no need to MAKE
sacrifices
Every man or woman who has
ever belittled or ridiculed or ma
igned women in uniform is respon-
sible, too. Such talk can't help but
hurt the results of any OF t h e
drives recruiting nurses.
Rights Ignored
Every family is responsible who
has said to nurse daughter want
ing to become an army or navy
nurse: WED worry ourselves to
death about you; and besides you
can do just as much good right
here at home
Everyone of us who throughout
the war has assumed that women
are not bound, as are men, to
serve their country in time of war
wherever they are needed is re-
sponsible. And every back to the
home for women after the war;
advocate is responsible. For why
should women feel duty bound to
pinch hit when the going ct S
tough. if their rights as citizens
are to be ignored later
Let's not blame the nurses alone
for the fact that nurse recruitment
in the services is tagging. We
shouldn't expect more of them as
a group than of civilians in gen
eral.

Another theory was that the reali-
zation that you had strafed enemy
ground troops, shot down japanese
pilots, strafed troops getting out of
an enemy transport, or even killed
Japanese satellites, would come
back to you at night. and you'd wake
up in horror at having blood ON
your hands" To that I say Nuts"
I never knew a pilot who thought
about it. All the pilots ! ever saw
were SO happy over even their first
enemy kill that I began right off
to know that we were not the soft
race we had been charged with be-
ing early in the war. Personally,
ever time I cut Japanese columns
to pieces in Burma, strafed Japs
swimming from boats we were sink
ing, or blew Jap pilot to he'll out
of the sky, just laughed In my
heart and knew that I had stepped
on another black-widow spider or
scorpion.

that Baron Won Richthofen made
famous in the last war. This cir

from their objective as defensive
maneuver. for in it the ship behind
protects the tail of the one in front.
Our tactics were TO dive through
the squirrel cage" and get snap
shots at as many ships as we could,
but keep our speed to prevent their
getting on our tails.
II was in one Of these attacks
that this lone Jap Zero left the pro-
lection of his other ships and began
to do aerobatics-sloppy loops, wing
overs, stalls. and then another loop.
Thinking it was a trick. we were
wary; but after two of our pilots had
made passes on it, two more of US
went down towards it. As I kept
