Once Lord Louis Mountbatten flew over

How has the campaign been fought? Burma
is country about the size of Germany. l
have been looking at it for more than year
from the sky. A green and purple land of
forest, mountain swamp and river rolling
like beautiful carpet to the far-off China
mountains. Nothing seems to be stirring
underneath that mat or net, but down there is
the living world of the jungle. Beneath that
net there dwells and marches and fights an
army of 10000 men.
Hack Out Farms
lHEY have built themselves fortresses,
houses hospitals, river harbors, airfields and
engineering shops. Across the widest track
on earth they have constructed roads and
bridges finer than the Romans dreamed Of
Now they are hacking farms out of the tangled
underground, for the japanese have gobbled
up every piece of food in the country.
Few highways compare in majesty with
the Stilwell Road, which Gen. Joseph w.
Stilwell built to link India with China. 1t re-
opened the lifeline for supplies from
America and Britain. The average rate
of construction was one mile day.
The road begins at Ledo in north Assam,
under the shoulder of the Himalayas. 1t
climbs 5000 feet over Hellgate Pass, clinging
to the face of cliff above the clouds; it
descends into the dreaded Valley of Death in
Burma, malarial pit that was Uttered with
the bones of 10000 refugees who fled before
the Japanese invaders in 1912.
On that road have seen mule sink out

across bridge. We sent forward party of
engineers under the cloak of night to crawl
through the Japanese lines and blow the
bridge They did the job with bang that
rocked the front. Now we knew that the
bridge was blown, and the Japanese knew it,
and the war correspondents wanted to tell the
world of the brave men who had done it.
Mountbatten himself was willing to release
the story, but up rose the Security Officer.
He said, Everyone seems to know that
bridge has gone except the Japanese High
Command. 1t doesn't The local commander
has never admitted it. Therefore, supplies
which are needed elsewhere are still COM

What makes the Japanese Army such
tough proposition. if it has such defects?
When it comes to fighting to the last man, no
soldier in the world is more resolute than the
Jap. You must never ignore this quality.
There is one thing he never fails to display
- his savagery. One night the Japs broke
into our lines in Arakan and seized forward
hospital. Some OF our wounded they killed at
once. But this was not the worst: 48 hours
later the Japanese general arrived. He drew
his ceremonial sword waved it slowly in the

To Amend GI Bill of Riqhts

vestigating the hospitals.
Bureau Of Medicine Asked.
Chairman Rankin has offered a
bill establishing a bureau of medi-
cine and surgery in the Veterans
Administration and otherwise board
ening its authority to obtain medical
personnel at higher salaries. This
measure, reported to have been ap-
proved in principle by the White
House. is supported by the Veterans
Administration and backed by the
American Legion. 1t is designed tc
provide better medical care and tc
remove some Of the handicaps and
difficulties which have beset the
hospitals in recent years, especially
during the war.
The proposed bureau of medicine
would have authority similar to that
OF the Army and Navy medical de-
partments and, in time of war, per-
sonnel drafted for military service
could be assigned to the Veterans
Administration. Physicians could
be picked without consulting the
Civil Service Commission, which
under the present law provides
most Of the doctors, who are limited
to Government classification sal
aries. The new bureau would have
a surgeon general at $4,000 and
five assistants at salaries ranging
from $4,000 upward, and salaries of
staff physicians at hospitals could
be increased considerably. These
provisions, sponsors Of the legisla-
ton say, would enable the veterans
facilities to obtain doctors of more
experience and ability.
Representative Rogers, Republi-
can, of Massachusetts,, a member of
the Veterans Committee, intro

duced an almost identical measure
She said she had been working or
the legislation for months and that
the plan originally was hers.
Early in the war the Veterans
Administration obtained authority
to commission its doctors in the
Army, and 1877 at present are Of
ficers in the Medical Corps. There
are 432 other veterans physicians
who remain civilians because they
could not pass the Army physical
examination.
The idea was that commissioned
doctors would be detailed to con-
tinue at their posts, thus assuring
veterans hospitals an adequate
number. The trouble was that the
Army Surgeon Generals Once
could transfer those officers where
ever it chose and many Of the
younger ones were assigned to
troops. The proposed law would
give the Veterans Administration
authority to keep its doctors. The
Medical Bureau also would include
a dental corps, a nurse corps and an
administrative unit.
