ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND.
Md, Mar. 29.-Tank ambulances
now are being used to evacuate
wounded from battlefields, it was
disclosed today by Col. Clarence G.
Harvey, post surgeon here.
He cited a report received today
from the headquarters of the Ord
nance Department, Army Service
Forces in Europe, which stated that
light tanks of the seth Armored
Regiment in Western Europe have
been fitted with racks to accommo-
date filters for five wounded men.
Tank ambulSnces go into battle, he
said, with tankmen, Doughboys and
a medic, who administers first aid.
It relies entirely on speed and de-
ception once the wounded are
aboard.
Col. Harvey said "the lives of
many wounded men have been
saved because it is no longer neces-
sary to wait until an area quiets
down before going out to rescue
them" He said tank ambulances
were regularly employed for the
first time in evacuating wounded at
Ederen, Belgium.

A brother, 1t. Col. Martin l.. Green,
is serving with the Army in Europe.
Also among those returning was
Staff Sergt. Louis Roberts, Lees
burg.
Last night the CTS slept on Amer
lean soil-some of them for the first
time IN three years-at Camp
Patrick Henry, several miles north
OF Newport News, where the camps
commanding officer welcomed them
warmly and drew cheers and ap-
plause when he told them to relax
and, you don't have to salute any,
body here, not even second lieu
tenant"
The casualties, totaling 805, ate
beefsteak and ice cream and drank
all the milk they could hold and
were processed and in their beds
only two hours after they arrived
at the camp.
Confusion and inability to realize
they were back in this country
gradually yielded to two Yankee
characteristics - wisecracking and
impotence to go to their home
towns-as the soldiers streamed
from the ship down two gangways
and boarded trains and buses.
In almost every case frowns
turned into grins as the troops
reached the pier. They whistled at
every WAC in sight, they reached
down and patted the ground affec-
tionately, they whooped and WISE
cracked and one CT shouted: Lets
get out of here before they change
their minds"

D. {. Democrats
Hit Choice for
Marshall Post
Promises to Give
Jobs to Washington
Residents Recalled
BY DON S. WARREN.


Challenging the Democratic party
to live up to past promises that
local offices should go to bona fide
residents the Democratic Central
Committee for the District has filed
a protest with the Senate Judiciary
Committee against the nomination
of an outsider to the $500 post
of United States marshal here.
The nominee, whose name was
placed before the Senate March IL
by President Roosevelt, is w. Bruce
Matthews Of La Plata, Md. Now an
investigator with the Washington
Office of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, he was active previously In
Southern Maryland politics. He
served in the Maryland Legislature
from 1929 to 1888.
While voicing no objection to Mr..
Matthews on a personal basis the
Central Committee presented a
lengthy brief against his conf1rma-
ton because he comes from out of
the District.
Point Back to 1892.
AS long ago as 1892, the committee
said, the Democratic party recog.
nized the principle of leaving Dis.
trict jobs to District residents.
In addition Melvin D. Hildreth,
vice chairman, announced that the
Democratic Committee had deter
mined to insist from now on" that
this principle be followed. If it is
not, he said, formal protests will
be made every time some one from
out of the District Is nominated for
a District post mo matter who is
involved or what job Is to be filed. ,
The District population being a.
high as it is, he continued, there
certainly should be some one here
who has sufficient talent for the
marshal's job without having to &c
outside"
Incidentally it was revealed that
the Central Committee had recon-
mended Washington man for the
post of recorder of deeds, filled last
fall by the prediction selection of
the Rev. Marshall L. Shepard OF
Philadelphia.
Brief Recites Promises.
The committees brief, filed by Mr.
Hildreth at the direction of the
committee, recited that the party
began promising to leave District
jobs to District residents back in
1892. And that was not an idle
gesture" he said, for the Demo-
cratic party then was in power. 1t
was repeated, he added, over span
of so years with references to home
rule" in one form or another.
The Matthews nomination has
been referred by Judiciary Commit
tee Chairman McCarran, an advo-
cate of home rule" for the District,
to subcommittee headed by Sem
ator Chandler, Democrat, of Ken
lucky. Other members are Sena-
tors Kilgore, Democrat, of West
Virginia, and Smith, Republican, of
New Jersey.
