Victors in 'l8, these
tough veterans have
gone back to Europe
to do it again
SOMEWHERE In FRANCE

SOME WHERE I'm i NhI~NE
rVHE Gl's call them Retreads,
but these veterans OF II and 'l8
are fighting a helluva war with their
hardening arteries. Their old joints
NAV creak as they crawl out from
the canvas these foggy French morn
inps, but the Retread is bearing up
almost as we'll as his younger COM
rades - and more philosophically.
The truth is, of course, that the
veteran knows a lot OF tricks that
save Cd his feet (2) his temper 90
his back and ~ his life. This was
demonstrated in Normandy where
tight hedgerows were ike fortresses
and presented a new problem to the
younger officers. A couple of grizzled
old boys took platoon and stalked
the ferries from the flank. 1t soon
got too hot for theNazis. Younger
men, pinned down in the bitches.
forced grudging grin of approval.
The Retreads had been IN France
before. They knew.
You don't catch Retreads
throwing u football in rest peri
DDS. Like old ballplayers, they
save arms and legs for the game
itself. And when big group OF
Germans comes out waving white
flag, they don't rush up and expose
themselves to any Heinie tricks.
They cover the crowd. let them come
in. They live longer that way.
Nor will you find vet loading up
with souvenirs. He is content with,
at most, German machine pistol
which is of use Extensively. In this
war, souvenirs are booby-trapped.

zation long before they entered
Gallinger.
The aides now at Gallinger-and
there are too few of them-like the
work for two reasons. 1t is DIVERSE
fled because there are so many jobs
to be done, so many sick and so
many wards to be cared for. Sec
ondly, one day on the ward makes
is abundantly clear that they are
really needed. The grateful smile
of a woman in pain as they settle
her more comfortably in bed is
enough to make that day on the
ward satisfying experience-and
they answer the calls Of many more
than one patient,
Right now, only two or three Red
Cross nurses aides are serving each
day throughout the whole hospital.
One hundred more are needed and
needed now.
This, too, Is a war job. Many
nurses who once cared for the sick
and helpless of Gallinger are now
caring for the wounded men. The
nurses now at Gallinger can do only
so much. They need the help that
nurses aides can give them.
The Red Cross Motor Corps pro-
vides transportation to and from
Gallinger morning, noon and night
to all Gallinger nurses aides. Every
thing that can be done is being done
to make it more convenient for
women with daytime hours to spare
to spend them where they are des-
perately needed-on the wards of
Gallinger Hospital.

An Appeal to Those

Gallinger Hospital has been
forced to close its 52-bed tubercu-
losis unit because there weren't
enough nurses to staff it.
In the Washington area, 81 per-
sons have fallen victim to, polio
myelitis and Gallinger, with Chill
dren's Hospital, handles almost all
the polio cases in the District.
Side by side, those facts explain
why the District Red Cross has
been asked to launch an emergency
campaign to recruit and train 100
nurses aides for daytime work at
Gallinger Hospital.
The Gallinger nurses aides won't
be asked to work with any con-
tagious cases. They are needed on
the regular wards and in the spe-
cial services-pediatrics, obstetri-
cal ward, blood bank, ear, nose and
throat section, emergency room,
operating room and the general
surgical and medical wards.
If the nurses aides can be re-
cruited to work on the general
wards, nurses can be released to
care for the victims of polio who
need constant, watchful care.
AS soon as the hospital as whole
is adequately staffed, enough trained
personnel can be shifted to re-
open the tuberculosis unit.
1t is of the utmost Importance to
the health of the whole community,
the Red Cross points out = it is
plain self-protection to make pos

UnIeoshed Doq
Gives Policeman
ProfitIess Day

There may be some doubt in the
mind OF Police Corpl. Samuel J
Holiday of the ninth precinct as to
the advisability OF apprehending
unleashed dogs after events of the
last few days.
1t all began last Sunday while
Corpl. Holiday was patrolling his
beat. He spotted a dog-part police
dog, at that-running loose and
chased the animal. according to in
structions concerning unleashed
dogs.
Finally catching the dog, Corpl.
Holiday had just recorded the tag
number when the dog bit him and
ran.
Then. this morning, the police
man appeared before Assistant
Corporation Counsel Edward E.
ONeill to present the case only to
have it dismissed. 1t seems that
the tag on the Gcg was last years.
The owner listed for that tag said
his dog ran away last year and
that the dog which bit Corpl
Hollady was not his.

Senate Approves Payment
OF GaIIinqer Transcript Bill

Belatedly the Senate last night
approved payment of bills for the
stenographic transcript of the 1943
Gallihger Hospital investigation and
the 1914 hearings on District slum
clearance and rehousing, totaling
$3,347. ..
Payment of the official reporters
bills had been held up by reason
of a feud between Chairman Lucas
of the Senate Audit and Control
Committee and former Chairman
McCarran of the Senate District
Committee as TO the authority of
the District group to run a tram
script expense on District investi-
cations without first having the
approval of the Lucas committee.
An extended debate, which
brought Majority Leader Barkley
and Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana into the argument, devel-
oped over Interpretation of Senate
rules as to whether or which one
of the standing committees was
exceeding its authority"
At one point Senator Lucas de-
clared he had so frequently failed
of support from the floor that he
was "sick and tired" of trying to
preserve the Senate's contingent
fund. He issued warning" he
would continue to refuse in the
future to approve such expendi-
lures as involved in the District
Committee cases. Later he declared
the time was coming" when he
might approve 'any and all' ex-
pense accounts, no matter whether
they amounted to IS 900 or $50 900, >
If he lacked Senate support for his
position.

War Powers Act
Invoked in Theft Case

Samuel Brownstein, a butcher of
the 600 block Of Ninth street NE,
was arrested last night on a charge
Of violating the Second War Powers
Act by allegedly receiving about
s100 worth of stolen canned fish and
sugar.
The butcher, who also was
charged with receiving stolen goods,
came under the jurisdiction of the
Second War Powers Act because
goods subject to Office of Price Ad-
ministration rationing regulations
were involved in the alleged trans
action.
The maximum penalty for convic-
ton under this act is a $4,000 fine,
a year in Jail, or both.
James Maurice Bryan, %, of the
100 block of Thirty-sixth street
NE, wholesale grocery clerk, was
charged with petty larceny and with
violating the Second War Powers
Act IN the same transaction.
According to police, the goods
disappeared from the premises of
A. Gatti, a food wholesaler of 1917
Maine avenue S.W., since Bryan
went to work there following his
discharge from the Army four weeks
ago. The arrests followed an inves-
tigation by the OPA.
Police said petty larceny charge,
and not one of grand larceny was
lodged against Bryan, because al
though the alleged thefts totaled
about 500 over a period of four
weeks no single theft involved more
than $50.

Capital Transit
Finds Pentagon
Jam Is Easing
Riders Are Reverting
To Lines Used Before
Cut, Official Says

The recently inaugurated system
of fare reductions for persons trav-
cling between the District and Gov
ernment installations in Virginia
is going to work out all right after
all, 1t appeared today.
Despite earlier misgivings over the
cut-rate fares ordered by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, an
official of the Capital Transit Co.
said today that commuters have re-
verted to just about the same lid
ing habits they had developed be-
fore the new system went into ef-
feet.
Three Companies Involved.
Three Virginia companies are in
volved in addition to Capital
Transit, and these three bus lines
agreed to furnish figures to the
transit company so that co-ordi-
mated picture could be developed.
After several weeks of operation, it
appears, the new reduced fares
have done little to unbalance the
proportions of customers VINO pre-
viously used the various bus lines.
There is some increase in riding
on Capital Transit buses out to the
Pentagon Building and other Fed
eral buildings, such as the Navy
Annex, the National Airport and
the Army Air Forces Building at
Gravelly Point. But these riders
have not come from the Virginia
bus lines. the transit official said.
In fact, the Virginia companies. too,
have actually increased their busi-
ness, in most instances. All the in
creases, it was observed, are at
about the same rate as that before
the new fares went into effect.
The transit official said the con-
fused picture during the early weeks
was the result of experimentation"
among commuters Now that they
have finished trying out alternate
methods of reaching their offices
and the lowest rate of fare, they
have slid back into their old habits,
the spokesman said.
Apparently" the official said,
"it's going to work out all right
after all. But it didn't look as if
it would at first, when we were get
ting a lot of extra riders and the
Virginia companies were losing
them"
