40% Of Army Nurses
In Europe Volunteer
For Pacific Service
By the Associated Press.

FAnlS, July lo.-A TeuepiOyncnt
program for United States Army
nurses was announced today by the
Army chief surgeon who said that
more than 40 per cent OF the i7,948
now in the European Theater had
volunteered for further overseas
service.
The program, designed to shift
nurses and not to discharge them,
is based on critical score of TO
points for assignment to service
In the United States.
Preference for return to the
United States, in addition to the
point score, will be based on whether
the nurses are married and have
husbands in the United States, and
on physical condition.
OF the Army nurses now In
Europe, 1890 have volunteered to
60 directly to, the Pacific, $500 more
to go to the Pacific via the United
States, and 1900 to continue serving
in the Army of Occupation In
Europe.
1000 Go To Pacific.
More than l 1000 nurses were rede-
ployed to the Pacific in June. An
average of two a day have been
going home under program for
returning nurses whose husbands
have gone home from overseas
service.
Unmarried nurses with scores Of
between SIS and 10 points will be
placed in Army of Occupation hos
pitfalls, or redeployed to the Pacific
via the United States.
Unmarried nurses with scores Of
less than SIS points will be sent d.
rectly to the Pacific, or placed in
Occupation Army hospitals In
Europe.
Nurses found physically unfit for
further service in an active theater
either will be sent home or kept In
Army of Occupation hospitals. No
nurse over IS years old will be sent
directly to the Pacific unless she
volunteers, and her unit commander
specifies she Is physically qualified
Program to Take Year.
Lit. Col. Ida w. Danielson, Euro
pean theater chief nurse, said the
nurse redeployment program would
not be completed until June OF
l946, and the nurse strength here
will be decreased only in proper
ton to the withdrawal of American
troops from Europe.

Similar observances will be held
in every part of the country and
abroad, in accordance with a letter
to all chaplains from Gen. Miller
which said: "It is desired that where
practicable some form Of observance
of our anniversary be held in every
installation.
While the Chaplain Corps, as II
is constituted today, was not estab-

The first Army chaplain is be-
lieved to be the Rev. John Hurt OF
Virginia, a veteran OF the Revolu-
ton. In March. 1892, he served as
a chaplain on the basis of authority
derived from a Congressional Act
An important milestone in the
history of the corps was reached in
1861 when regimental chaplains
were authorized and Jewish rabbis
made eligible.
instruction Course.
Chaplains attending the present
Chaplain School at Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga, take a course in mil
itary organization and in counsel
ing, morale and discipline. Courses
are given in duties they may need
on the battlefield, like map read
ing, graves registration and mil
itary funerals. Chaplains are also
instructed in calisthenics. chemical
warfare defenses, first aid, santa
ton and personal security.
New chaplains take a six weeks
course while chaplains who have
already seen service study for four
weeks at the School.
1t is not often that the overseas
chapel is permanent, Corps litera-
ture explains. Such chapels are
often built of salvage materials,
bamboo or may be just tents. In
many cases overseas chapels are
memorials, such as one built in a
Bougainville jungle in honor of a
l9-year-old Texas soldier. first Of
