The four Wacs were given

End of Bossism?
Washington Post

Washington Post
 The deathso of Tom Pendergast as a disgraced and broken raises the question of whether the old fashioned machine boss, long institution of American politics may not at last have entered a period of decline and be it's way to extinction. There is nothing much to dfferentiate Pendergasts rise to power from the story of any of various great machine bosses since Tweed His was merely busi- ness of buying favors with favors. In one way or another he took care of the people who took care of his interests He took care of This boys" by getting jobs for them and often enough he able to place them in jobs where he could make very profitable of their loyalty and gratitude When, in early years of the depression, there great many and women bitterly in need of jobs, and more likely to show tangible gratitude for them, he began extend his political empire from Kansas City to the whole State of Missouri and presently able to add even Governors and Senators to his list of grateful proteges. At time, of course, were the citizens of Missouri who felt themselves economically or politically indebted to Boss Pendergast than minority. but he profited all bosses have by the general indifference to politics and especially local politics which until lately characterized many urban Americans whose lives not directly apparently affected by them.
 Today however, there are few Americans who do not recognize that their lives and interests intimately affected by politics Politics indeed is be- ginning color and influence all other interests and preoccupatons It might also be argued that the old fashioned political boss, whose power was built on patronage and protection, must eventually disappear from the American scene, because in municipal politics at least there physical limits to both There who think he has already been replaced by new kind of boss who builds his power by dispensing patronage and other fayors not to individuals but to social groups classes But perhaps it is much too early to read the signs correctly; doubtless many people believed that bosssm had ended when the Tweed Ring was overthrown. And glance about the country will show there still many places besides Kansas City where the old fashioned bosses doing business by more less the old-fashioned methods and indeed flourishing by them.

pnOR WOODEN LEGS

Representative Of the Army Surgeon Generals Office have been meeting in Chicago with manufac- turers of artificial limbs in order to reach agreement on standard limbs to be furnished servicemen. Standardization of artificial limbs will be extremely helpful to vet erans, but this achievement alone will be only small part of the reform necessary.
 At the Walter Reed Hospital and at Forest Glen Convalescent Home, both in Washington, several hun dred amputation cases have been confined for months, many of them disgusted with the treatment they have received.
 One gripe is that after their amputations have been sufficiently healed the men are issued tempor- aTy fiber legs to learn to walk on. Not only are these heavy but they are so poorly made that they some times break. One veteran who lost both legs went home on furlough to Rochester, New York-and had to be sent back in an ambulance because both his artificial legs had broken He was issued another pair of temporary legs. But one night these also went out of con- mission and he had to drag him. self by his hands for half a city block to get home.
 Another even more serious diff culty is that the boys have to learr to walk all over again when they are issued their permanent legs This is because the temporary leg first given them are wooden O fiber legs which do not bend One, a man has learned to walk on thi temporary unbending leg. 1t is diff cult to readjust himself to the per manent leg which is articulated a the knee.

Under normal conditions, these notifications are in the hands of the next of kin within a few ho'ls after arrival in Washington, but the overall process sometimes takes more than couple of weeks. Often on the battlefield, casualty reports cant be gotten out in regulation time. For example, the Bastogne garrison was cut off completely for many days and around the peril meter of that beleaguered city. the fighting was fierce and casualties heavy.
 In another case in the Battle of the Belgium Bulge, the 106th divis- ion lost more than 5000 men in two days Imagine the problem of re- porting accurately casualties in such a situation and you can under stand why ACB sometimes gets bit ter criticism.
 However, casualty reporting is as far ahead of similar reports in World War I as the bazooka is ahead of the blunderbuss. There's a little known tragedy that occurs often in ACB. It's when employees there have to report the deaths or wounds of their own relatives or close friends. Not even Col. Herbert has been spared this. On Armistice Day, there passed over his desk the death notice of his daughters fiance, killed in France after only month overseas.
