Senate Eyes
Promotions
Ask Gen. MorshoII
for ExpIonotion

WASHINGTON, March 10
(P) - Members of the Senate
Military committee talked today
of calling Gen. George c. Mar
shall TO-. explain promotions of
nine officers to four-star rank.
Some, like Senators Bridges
GRIND, and Chandler (D-ky),
expressed disappointment that
Lieutenant Generals George S.
Patton, Jr., of the American
Third Army and Courtney n.
Hodges of the First weren't in
cluded in Mondays list.
Il think the Military Commit
tee probably should ask the War
Department to explain the pol
icy behind this series of promo
tions," Bridges told, reporter.
Il was disappointed in not
seeing in the list Generals Pat
ton and Hodges because of the
magnificent jobs both are doing
in Europe
While both Chandler and
Bridges said there was merit IN
the Army's position that the pro-
motions were designed to give
the nine men rank commensur-
ate with their posts and compar-
able with those of Allied Off
GERS, Chandler said IAN excep-
ton could have been made in the
cases of Patton and Hodges.
These two, Bridges said he
understood, were not recon-
mended for promotion because
they command only armies.
All agreed the committee will
recommend quick Senate con-
firmation. Senator Johnson Cd
Colo.) said he is against inter
fering with the operations on the
war front where the War De-
partment has full responsible
ity."
He added, however. that he
thinks General Marshall, chief
of staff, is the man to justify
his own selections" and that the
committee should ask him to
testify.

Victim Of Nazis Hopes
Study Of Typhus in
Camp Will Aid World
BY the Associated Press.

SIEGBURG, Germany, May H.
Within the death-ridden walls OF
Slegburg Prison typhus epidemic
is being scientifically studied by a
Dutch university professor who was
liberated there by American troops
but prefers to finish his chosen task
II am just an average victim OF
Nazi persecution and I served halt
OF an average term Of two years
hard labor in an average German
penitentiary," said the professor, DR.
Lourens G.. M. Bans -Becking. But
perhaps my detailed report on the
ravages of typhus upon an average
group of malnourished persons will
prove Of value when I submit it to
the International Red Cross"
DR.. Bans-Becking said he was a
graduate student and then teacher
in Stanford University at Palo Alto,
Calf, from 1919 to 1881, and for the
next two years directed the Rock
feller Foundation marine station at
nearby Pacific Grove.
Returned In 1910.
Then, he said, as head of the
Netherlands Indies Bureau of
Science, in charge Of developing re-
sources for possible defense against
Japan, he returned to Holland in
1910 almost on the eve of Hitler's
invasion.
Twice DR.. Bans Shocking tried to
escape from German occupation to
England. The first time his rendez-
vous with seaplane failed because
of fog. The second attempt found
his motorhoat stalled so miles off,
shore with a wet magnetic just as a
Nazi trawler approached.
Dressed in CT khaki with a Dutch
insignia on the shoulder straps,
DR.. Bans-Becking smiled ruefully
at the memory of how the Germans
tried to ignore the presence of
typhus in Siegburg prison only to
have 80 of their own guards die
of it.
Starved for Months.
'We had been virtually starving
for months, living in filth, when the
first case cropped up January g..
That old fool the chief doctor
called it flu. I saw symptoms ap-
pear on one of my cellmates on
February "a. Luckily I remembered
from the textbook long ago-I am
no medic-what to look for: Spots
on the abdomen, a red margin
around the tongue and fever, coupled
with splitting ache in the back
of the head.
II convinced the Germans finally,
but the epidemic was well under
way by then. There were 300 deaths
among 1000 prisoners. The typhus
cases numbered more than 1,100."
He explained that Chronic un-
dernourishment, lack of clothing,
abominable hygiene and neglect
all contributed to the effectiveness
of the typhus louise.
