 A Naval cadet at a California pre-flsht school previous letters from him were from Patuxent' Md-' where he was sweeping out hangars and where en- listed morale was extremely iow)-"I am kept busy here and the time is flying by It has been two weeks since left Patuxent although 1t seems more axe two days Even the week-ends go quickly uesplse . se fact that we don't get any liberty Tor tne IrsS ie @ weeks. won't know where to go when "0 s0' liberty, so won't miss it much.
 soldier in ManiIa-"we work on the docks and We see ships lying in the harbor for days ana Wee we've talked with captains of cargo vessels and they tell us they're going back to the States empty If we could take 90 40-day trip on lousy Liberty snip during the war why the Hell is the Army so con. cerned about returning Us home on luxury hnersF
 From w M. Galloway, Beaumont, Texas-'I noted with interest your statement that Gen. William H. Turner has given order to stop flying the Hump. We glad to live in country like this where in your position can turn the spotlight on glar- ing failure of some official and get some action However, this order came about three weeks too late for the Galloway family, as our brother was killed on the 7th flying the Hump. You will note from the enclosed photostat of his last letter that Gen. Turner gave the order that they were not to carry parachutes their plane. You will also note that the general had parachutes on his personal plane"
 The letter from the late Pvt Willis E. Galloway read Gen. Turner has put out an order that no plane flying the Hump with intentions of bringing passengers back (from China) will carry parachutes We have enough chutes at B-pore (Barrackspore) to fly everyone out of China, but they are to remain in neat pile. have seen the generals plane He carries enough chutes for his crew" (Callaway was killed in crash flying from Barrackspore to Kun ming, China Oct. rhine days after he wrote this letter)
 An Army doctor in Germany-"We have a sta. ton hospital here of about 1,000-bed capacity We run about POO patients including soldiers, UNRRA German civilians, etc. We have here 2 doctors, 16 MAG. 1 Sani. Corps, 60 nurses, $50 enlisted men, 300 civilian workers and 400 to 500 German prisoners We have force of at least 1O00 to 1,20O people to look after 200 patients-about employed for each do so surgeons are put in charge of admissions dis positions records dspensaries blankets. letters etc
 The only reason we have any surgical service at all is that the Germans fill boys full of schnapps knowing that in the next few hours they will wreck jeep 'caput' CkD themselves. It is really form of sabotage and it works very nicely These Heinies are clever, in subtle sort of way
 T believe the whole system is to retain doctors here for long possible that Regular Army men can retain their rank. Most of them sit about the town day in and day out-nothing to do but drink and fraterniZe Fraulens are easy-one choco- late bar. Tn this town alone know of about lo1 doctors who don't have thing to do Sit with their little units and try to pass the time in some sort of way They are fast deteriorating and in six months most of them will be the rocks.
 "The same policy of hoarding surpuses applies to the nurses. They did up the nurses some what, which was good thing of them were really going bad. mean bad We have some here now (patients) we have to send home
 T do not write for just myself but for the whole lot of former civilian doctors who in the same boat"
