 We've got to put people where said. We've got too many folks sit ting around and doing nothing"
 Doughton said he thought too many government agencies were overstaffed.
 We've gto to put people where they will do the most good in the war effort, not in the easiest spot" he said.
 Sen. Warren R. Austin, R.. Vt, co-author of a national service bill which died in the last congress. said he still believed such legislation was necessary but said he would support any other reasonable plan that will get the work done"
 Rep. Walter c. Andrews, R., N. Y, ranking Republican member of the House Military Affairs committee, said putting 4-F's in essential war work posed problems that would have been circumvented If we had had National Service Act in the first place."
 If we pay them regular indus trial wages it would be unfair to the men in the service, and if we give them Army pay 1t would be un- Ialr to labor," Andrews said.

 As midnight neared, the corps commander, a seamy-faced jovial West Pointer, arrived to wish the crew good shooting.
 How you doing, boys? Got any complaints?" he Inquired.
 Wed like more shooting, sir, |" several of the crew piped up.
 So would l." answered the Col onel. Ike is trying to get us more ekn al every time you shoot"
 The reference was to the shortage of shells about which General Dwight D. Eisenhower has spoken in the last few weeks. Everywhere I went among artillerymen they spoke of the reluctance with which they were compelled to ration shells.
 At one artillery corps headquart- ters there was red-pencilled sign in Christmas card style:
 Don't send me candy, nom. Send me shells"
 A few seconds after the com mander's arrival, a telephone jingled in the pit and a man with ear-phones called the orders for the elevation.
 "Supercharge," he said. This one has to go deep into Germany"
 Then he called the signal for fr- ing and all other impressions were plotted out momentarily in the roar and concussions,

 ble German officers involved in the murder of the envoys would be hanged.
 More than 5000 enemy troops were killed in Buda and the east bank section of Pest yesterday and another 429-- apparently Hungar- ianS-were captured, running the Axis losses in less than two days to an estimated $500 men.
 After a week of street fighting surpassing in savagery even the battle for Stalingrad, the Russians held about 40 of Budapest's 80 square miles, including most of the west bank section of Buda and about eight square miles of Pest, a total of about 800 icty blocks.
 Soviet troops made their deep est penetration of Pest Monday with a 1-2 mile advance from the east that overran the Rakos railway sta- tion five miles from the Danube.
 Tn that area, the Russians were advancing into the most densely populated and built-up section of the capital and all accounts indi- cated that the fighting was doubl- ing in fury, with the Nazis convert ing every house and office build ing into a miniature fortress.
 Inside Buda, the Russians broke through three successive defense lines thrown up by the enemy and at last reports were storming fourth, apparently along the river bank.
 Front reports said the capital had become a vast charnel house lit- tered with thousands of rotting corpSes and lighted by the glare from burning buildings and explod- ing ammunition dumps.
 Tanks and self propelled guns of the opposing armies clashed head on in the streets, while the murder ous Russian "KatuShkas"-rocket guns brought scores of houses tumbling down about the heads of their Nazi occupants.
 There was no word on the fate Of the city's civilian population, which was estimated to have been swollen to 100000 by an influx of refugees from the surrounding countryside. It was probably the first time since the beginning of the war that civilians on so great scale have been caught in the cross-fire of two warning armies
 A dispatch from the newspaper Provda's front correspondent re- cealed thatt he Germans and Hun garians concentrated southwest of Budapest made one last attempt to break through and relieve the trap ped garrison. but gave up after three days of futile and costly at- tack.
 The Russian communique also re- ported that Russian troops north east of Budapest closed to within two miles south of the Slovak rail. way center of Losonc Gucenec) after advancing as much as five miles on a 32-mile front.

 He blamed the separation on Mussolini
 Tt was all the fault of that mad man who launched Italy in a war that was not felt by the people and for which the nation was not pre- pared" he said. He declared war against our former Allies despite the advice of his general staff and all the military experts closest to him"
 Referring to the Americans, the Marshal said:
 When I was in touch with the Americans we got along magnifi- gently. There was immediately a mutual feeling of comprehension and understanding which bound us first during the first World War" he said.

 But proponents of the change ar que that the establishment of an overall ground command might have lessened and perhaps averted the American setback in Belgium and Luxembourg.
 Maintenance of the earlier sys- tenn of the fighting command in the hands of specialist like Montgom- cry might have averted the setback we have suffered" G. Ward Price wrote in the Sunday dispatch.
 The grand strategy of the west ern front would still be in General ELSenhower's hands; the decision as to major objectives and the timing of attacks would lie with him, but the actual fighting of battles and intimate daily contact with the fluctuations of struggle should be entrusted to someone whose hand is not preoccupied constantly with problems that arise far behind the front.
 Price said Eisenhowe. was gen timely popular with all subordinate commanders, but contended that his responsibilities were too dispers- ed and widespread for him to direct the operations of seven armies with the necessary detailed knoW!- edge of the situation of each"
 It was not believed that Bradley will be punished for she American reyerses since he had performed brilliantly from D-Day onward, though he may have an intermedi- ary commander placed between him and Eisenhower.
 If there is to Le any "acapegoat" for the American setbacks. it was believed more likely to be It. Gen Courtney Hodges, whose First Army bore the 3runt of the assault, but it was by no means certain he would be punished by ,oss oi his command.

 I write that after spending a day in Navy hospital here. Perhaps you would like to have your man back where the family doctor in whom you have so much confidence and who may have brought him into the world, could look after him with that fine humanity and sympathy which has made the family doctor beloved. Don't worry. He is getting these things and more.
 Walking through ward after ward all day until my feet were worn off to the ankles, I saw that same fine humanity and sympathy evidenced by the uprses and the corpsmen. They are wonderful. The nurses, trained and efficient, also bring that spiritual lift that only a fine Amer ican girl can bring to American boys whose recent feminine contacts have been with bare feet or shuffling san- dalS or tabi.
 Take Pride in Skill
 And the corpsmen. Of the many things the boys call them I heard only one that is printable-"bed- pan commandoS." This is an ap- pellation of affection, as is pill rollers" in the Army.
 Your men are getting not only expert and sympathetic nursing, but the best surgical and medical service that any nation can provide. was shown one boy who had been suf- fering the agonies of sciatica. The nurse proudly exhibited him as the first patint to have had a certain operation performed on him. He was her prize exhibit. I am sorry that cannot give you a very intelligent description of the operation, but here is the gist of 1t: Between the two vertebrae that were pinching the sciatic nerve, the surgeon inserted a gadget consisting of a couple Of sil- yer plates and ball bearings. The pain was instantly relieved, never to return. Unless his parents are wealthy, the chances are that in civilian life he would never have had this operation.
 Then there was the man with a gangrenous leg. He had asked to meet me, and found him in pri- vate cubicle with corpsman in at- tendance. Ordinarily, he would have certainly lost his leg, or. possibly. his life. But they are going to save his leg and probably all his toes as well. The corpsman was so proud of what they had accomplished snat he damn near burst. He wanted me to wait half an hour until they removed the ice pack SO that could sec the leg.
 shown Every Attention
 If you have men in Army or Navy hospitals. thank God that they are not at home, for they could not get better surgical and medical service there or anywhere else in the world. And don't worry about them. The nurses, the corpsmen, the Red Cross girls, the Gray Ladis look after their every comfort-and the physicians and surgeons are such as you could not possibly afford unless you are very rich.
