ing against possible assignment to
the Veterans Administration, claim
ing 1t cannot be considered military
service, the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association said today.
The Journal said the Committee
on Postwar Medical Service, at a
meeting here May u, recommended
that Veterans Administration phy-
sicians be obtained by voluntary en-
rollment of physicians released
from the armed forces or from
civilian sources.
The committee, in a statement
sent to the War and Navy Secre-
taries and to the House and Senate
Committees on Military Affairs,
urged that they recognize the
Righteousness of the protests made
by these medical officers against
assignment to the Veterans Admin
istration," the journal said.
Surg. Gen. Norman T. Kirk of the
Army was quoted by the journal
as stating that medical officers re-
turned to the United States on ro-
tation or redeployment would be
assigned to duty according to their
specialties" to replace officers with
similar qualifications, who have not
had opportunity for foreign service. "
The journal, in an editorial, said
Surg. Gen. Kinks statement indi-
Gates that returning doctors would
be assigned "as long as needed" to
American hospitals and other in
stallationS"
Many physicians who have served
with distinction in both the Eu-
ropean and Pacific theaters" have
written or telegraphed to the A. MA.
indicating "the fear that they may
be assigned on their return" to
the Veterans Administration, the
Journal said.
THE unwillingness to serve with
the Veterans Administration is
based not only on their belief that
this cannot be considered military
service, but also on the point OF
view that competent, scientific
medical care is difficult under the
conditions that prevail in the vet
erans' hospitals"
The Committee on Postwar Medical
Service includes representatives of
the A. M. A., the American College
of Surgeons. the American College
of Physicians, the American Hos
pital Association and other groups.

PHILIPPINES Denied
War Damage Insurance

Lucien H. Mercier, Washington attor-
ney and a member of the executive
committee of the Philippine American
Committee on War Damages and Re-
habilitation, declared in a statement
to The Sunday Star this week that
it was impossible, under regulations of
the War Damage Corp, for owners of
property in the Philippine Islands to
obtain war damage insurance after
June 80, 1892 even though they were
domiciled in this country.
Mr.. Mercier made this assertion in
commenting on an article in The Sum
day Star of July indicating that
while such insurance was not available
to persons in the islands, because they
were isolated by their Japanese con-
querors, it could have been obtained by
holders of property in the Philippines
who were in this country
"A great many American corpora
tions with Philippines property interests
applied for policies on their Philippine
properties and offered to pay the
premiums due on such policies, but
the. War Damage Corp. turned down
these applications, stating that the
property was not eligible for protec-
tion =" Mr.. Mercier wrote.
officials of the War Damage Corp.
said that in the regulations promulgated
by 1t on July |, 1912, the Philippines
were not included In those areas where
war damage insurance might be OBJ
tanned.
The statement TO which Mr.. Mercier
objected was made on the basis of in-
formation which was believed to be
reliable. but which now appears to
have been erroneous

also taken into account. The Ger

In the meantime the paradoxi-
cal situation has come up that the

Norwegian paratroopers from

keeping the Germans in Norway.

cussing the means and timing of

strike will when proclaimed by
the Homefront Leadership through

with the development on other
war fronts to the end that the

Diversification of Seattles great
war production program was strik-
ingly illustrated recently when a
tour through Isaacson Iron Works
revealed that it's manpower is send
ing steel from the famous old bat
tleship Oregon back to the wars.
Approximately 900 tons of ar
NOR plate from the dismantled
batlewagon "a ship that added last
ing glory to the pages of American
naval history when it made the 49,
OOO-mile record run around Cape
Horn in 1898, is being melted down
and poured into ingots at the busy
South Seattle plant.
From these huge ingots, steel
ship shafting is being forged and
turned over to navy shipyards for
installation in fighting craft of the
United States fleet.
The armor plate from the old
ship is 1712 inches thick and con-
tains 3 70 per cent nickel.
With one of the finest records
in the Greater Seattle area, the
Isaacson operations are used as an
inspiration in the present cam
paign to recruit $4,000 workers
needed here in understaffed war
plants.
Plant No. 2, covering 1712 acres
near Boeing Field, is navy facil-
ity and went into operation during
the first year of the war. Its near

fact that it is the largest integral
ed steel plant west of the Missis-
sippi River.

The speedy Russian advance on
the Eastern Front and the in
creasing American-Britis pressure
in the West have brought about a
military situation that may pos
sibly lead to repercussions in Ger
man-occupied Norway. Nazi lack
of manpower both at home and IN
the front lines seems to be Hitler's
chief problem. The German Gen.
eral Staff has undoubtedly from
time to time seriously considered
drawing on the reserves that are
to be found in the 10 to IA divi-
sions, not quite up to standard
size, still stationed in Norway.
Within recent months to 7 di-
visions have actually left Norway
but these were replaced by an
equivalent number of troops that
arrived in Norway when the Ger
man front in Finland collapsed.
Although well-info1 med Norweg-
ian circles in London disclaimed
rumors that the Germans are now
evacuating Norway the situation
in the East and West may wei,
develop to a point where such a
move becomes necessary.
Possibly the only reason why
the Germans have not yet decided
to give up Norway is that Trond-
helm and Bergen together with
the air and naval bases at Sor-
landet which guard the entrance
to Skagerak and the Baltic Sea
Industrially the country has lost
most of its Importance to the
German war machine. The AL
lied blockade coupled with stead
lily increasing sabotage activities
on the part of the Norwegian
home front and of Norwegian
paratroopers operating from Brit
ain have brought production of
war materials almost to a stand
still. Day by day factories are
closing down or are blown up and
such important products as al
minimum, ferrosilisium, nitrates
and nickel are hardly manufac-
tured any more. bet Norske

To Stay Young:
outh IS not time of life-it is a state of mind.
Nobody grows old by merely living number Of
years. people grow old only by desertng their ideals
Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul. Worry doubt, sef-dstrust, fear
and despai-these the long, long years that bow
the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust
whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every

men at the stars and the stake things and thoughts,
the undaunted challenge Of events, the unfailing
chidke appetite for what next and the joy and the
game of life.

doubt; as young as your self-confidence as old as
your fear; as young as your hope as old as your
despair"
