SERVICE NOTES

Attention Surgen General Nor man Kirk, U. s. Army. Why is 1t at Billings General Hospital you have doctors with over 140 points, 37 months overseas combat service sitting idle for three months-de- spite the shortage of civilian doc tors? Also, why is it neces- sary to compel Army surgeons to spend six days learning the nomen- clature of the MI rifle, machine gun. carbine, and the working mechanism of a hand grenade now that the war is over? Why is 1t necessary to compel 120 surgeons, after tour of 2l months overseas, to appear on a rifle range and practice slow and rapid firing, while other surgeons are forced to sit in the target pits, raising and lowering the targets? At tention Col Othel Deering, Buck ingham Army Air Field, Fort Myers, Fla: Many men in you'd Myers, Fla: Many men in your 150, complain that they are kept polishing airplanes and picking up cigarette butts, when all are en- titled to discharge. They point to the order of Maj. Gen. s. G. Henry, Assistant Chief of Staff, that "ef- fective immediately all enlisted men with point score of 85 and over will be sent to separation centers for immediate separation" .. Attention Col. John K. Kane, GOwan Field, Boise, Idaho: Is it necessary to continue flight training of men, some of them entitled to discharge, in such a way that l8 men were killed in a crash after V-J Day?

Peacetime Menace
Washington Post)

It is deeply ironcal that, human slaughter on the battlefield ceases, sharp rise in slaughter of different kind is contemplated in many American communities Gasoline ratoning and the tire shortage which necesstaed slower speeds greatly reduced the deadliness of the motor Now those restraining factors are disappearing at time when millions of cars are aged and in poor repair and highways are showing the effects of long neglect. Unless great exercised the death toll from motor accidents is almost certain to mount SkyWard
 Retention of the 35-mile speed limit is doubtless impracticabe as a peacetime restraint. On modern highways most cars be driven faster than that without serious danger if they carefully operated But the lifting of this wartime restriction certainly demands that other safety precautions be accentuated One of the first necessities to be more rigid inspection of automobiles, including tires. Hard use of old cars with few repairs during wartime has un- doubtedly left us with millions of unsafe vehicles on the highways. Under the restrictions of wartime driving the menace from these machines was not great but the present outlook is radically altered
 No amount of new restrictions, however will take the place of sane attitude the part of the driving public New drivers will have to be taught the dangers of speeding poor roads with weakened tires Experienced drivers will have to control their mania for speed and more speed if horrible toll of unnecessary slaughter is to be avoided Everyone will have to remember that the penalties for abandon ment of common sense are severe even in peacetme

 Tip-off on British Labors foreign policy: Signs increase that it will be just as reactionary as Churchill's. For instance, Prime Minister Attlee first offered the Washington Ambassadorship to Sir John Anderson, former Lord Presi- dent of the Council and one of the worst appeasers in Britain. It was Sir John who, shortly before the war, opposed constructing air raid shelters for civilians. When Anderson declined the Ambassador ship, Halifax was reappointed. :. Gen. Dan Sutton is back from China to promote big credit for the Chinese Government. It will run into real money-if the Tru- man Administration goes for the idea of Making China virtually an American colony. It was hush hush during the war, but can now be revealed that several U. s.

 This newspaper also favors the route from Seattle. It is very probable that Nome would favor Seattle. ~
 Faced with these opinions from communities other than Anchorage it is surprising to that the Alaska Development Board should place itself in position of favorng the Eastern and that Atwood should continue shout Alaska spurned" if three out of four cities heard from take the same stand as that of the Seattle Chamber.
 Atwood also continues to impress upon his readers that if such air route to take off from Seattle Alaska would be skipped entirely because the only stop would be in the Aleutian Islands Pan American Airways, one of the applicants for the Seattle jumping route has stated that Anchorage would be the Alaska stop

and Coast Guard ships were turned over to Russia at Cold Bay, Alaska. One secret reason for the row between ex-Attorney General Riddle and ex-Assistant Attorney General Norman Littell was the purchase of land for atomic bomb production near Pasco, Wash. The Army's manner of taking over the land was not according to the rules, and Littell objected. Riddle, because of atomic bomb secrecy, sided with the Army. Judge Sam Rosenman is scheduled to be Truman's No. adviser on all foreign relief plus all loans and credit to foreign gov ernments. The feud between Naval Reserve and the Annapolis men is now hotter than ever. If you count up the number of An napolis men decorated as com pared with Reserves, the discrimi- nation against the latter is all too obvious.

 But for nearly year Connally has refused to agree to let his sons land be purchased, insisting that it would appear that he had used his political position to turn a profitable real estate deal for the family. As a result the ruinor sprang up that Connally was hold ing up the hospital until the Navy assured him it would take his sons land.
 Investigation convinces this columnist that the opposite is. the case. Only recently, after repeated pleading from Representative Poage of Marlin, Connally grudgingly has consented to let the town condemn the Ben Connally property, and then let the Navy take its choice of the two sites

 4-They must find that there are jobs for them when they return home, and that the various benefits and loans supposed to be available are actually to be had without going through months of govern ment red tape.
 5-They must be shown that the so-called preference they are sup posed to have in the purchase of surplus material from the Army and the Navy actually works. Thus far it hasn't.
 For instance, thousands of veter- ans are now trying to purchase jeeps, trucks and other surplus items. But they find their appli- cations frequently so delayed that eventually they go out and buy from dealers at higher prices,
 Servicemen are puzzled about President Truman, because they thought that as result of his ex- perience in the last war and his chairmanship of the Truman Com mittee, he would be able to stand up against Army Navy brass hats. But they are getting disillusioned.
 Simultaneously, Republicans are licking their chops with joy.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15

Adverse aspects rule today when there may be much wrong thinking and ill-advised activity.
 HEART AND HOME
 Intuition rather than logic will lead women today and they should be cautious in speech and letter writing. Under this sway views on personal matters may be distorted. Girls may be too sensitive regarding the opinions of their fiances. The wise will pass the hours in work.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Aspects of Saturn and Neptune warn that economy must now be the national watchword. The cost of transporting armies and navies across the world will be felt. Unem- ployment will increase because many war industries restrict outputs or end operations.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 As the world watches, this nation now must prove the superiority of the democratic form of government. The seers emphasize the need of &C., cepting as national responsibility this chance to eXemplify our ideas of liberty and justice. Inspiring works must be provided for press and radio.

VETERANS GRIPEs

Politicians consider the service mems overwhelming vote for Roose- welt one of the most important factors in defeating Dewey. But today the Truman Administration seems to be losing ground daily with war veterans.
 Here are some of the complaints servicemen are registering. They are more than mere gripes. They are things the men feel deeply.
 1-Servicemen must be convinced of the Army's need for keeping D. 100000 men and the Navy 500,000 men, despite the atomic bomb, when our peace-time forces were only 10000 and 60000 respectively
 2-They must be convinced that the Army and Navy are earnestly trying to speed up the exit of those who have earned discharge.
