A tall, smiling man walked through
the wards of Walter Reed Hospital
yesterday afternoon. There were
four silver stars on each of his
shoulders-but the memories he had
were the same as the privates and
sergeants lying in the beds he
passed, and the talk they exchanged
was from one CT to another.
Gen. Jacob L. DeverS, new chief Of
the Army Ground Forces and former
commander of the 9Th Army Group,
was visiting the men he fought with
through italy, France and Germany,
"Who were you with, son?" he
asked corporal.
"I was fighting with the 10th
Arpored Division-lost my leg in
February" came the reply.
Questions Amputees.
Without a pause the general said,
That must have been in the Alps,
then"

whose right leg was amputated,

"Then you were just the other side
of the Rhine, weren't you?" Gen.
Devers replied.
Up and down every ward, the same
questions
who were you with? When were
you hurt? How are you getting
along?" No patient who fought in
Europe had to tell the general where
he was hurt. The name Of his
division, and the date of his wound
was enough-"then you must have
been near Innsbruck. Near Brien-
waldt? Just outside of Brest, then" I"
The general knew not only the
divisions under his own command,
but every division newfoundland
where it was on any given date.
Buddies Coming Home. <
He knew what was happening to
that division now, too.
One boy was from the 10Th Divi-
sion. "Your buddies are up near
Bremen" the general told him.
Getting in some good fishing"
Another was from the 9Th. You'll
be seeing them soon-they're on
their way back" the general told
him.

.FPHA Denies Intent
To Violate Law on
Housing Development

A spokesman for the Federal Pub
lie Housing Authority last night
came to the defense of the Lincoln
Heights colored housing project,
which the Commissioners have in
formed the Attorney General Is
being constructed "in violation of
the law"
Oliver C. Winston, director of the
general field office of the FPHA,
issued a statement In which he said
that his agency had every intention
OF. voluntarily complying with local
requirements, but that they refused
to enter into commitments for the
Federal Government that were con-
trary to established principles of
Federal sovereignty.
Yesterday the Commissioners in
formed Attorney General Tom G.
Clark that the National Capital
Housing Authority, acting as agent
for the FPHA, was constructing the
development without building per-
NIT and without having entered
into covenant regarding sewer
and water facilities required for
such q project.
Project Redesigned.
Mr.. Winston maintained that the
project was redesigned in part to
comply with local requirements and
that the NCHA included the fol-
lowing instruction to the contractor:
ut is our intention to comply with
District of Columbia standards in
all respects and, If necessary or ad-
visable, to request District inspec-
tion. The decision TO proceed with
out the permit is based upon legal
technicality and does not imply any
change from the specified construc-
tion." r:4 -
The Federal Government, it was
said, may not submit itself to regu-
lation by local body and therefore
does not take out local building per-
mits on Federal construction. Mr..
winston said the FPHA voluntarily
complies with local building codes
as far as it is consistent with its
Federal responsibility.
Asked fer Covenant.
The District asked for a covenant
concerning common sewer and water
facilities with the group of build
ings which provided that separate
facilities be provided for each build
ing If subdivided, sold or conveyed.
The FPHA said 1t offered to meet
this requirement as condition of
sale in any deed for any unit pur-
chase that may later be entered into,
but that the District asked the
FPHA to make such installations at
its own expense. This, 1t was said,
the Federal Government could
not do. .sz. ......
I'VE will be glad to have this
matter further considered by the
Attorney Generals Office" Mr.. Win
ston's statement concluded. 1--WE
would like to have the people under
stand however, that our action is
prompted by a desire to observe the
law, not to violate it."
The Commissioners wrote former
Attorney General Francis Biddle
about the question of compliance,
but no action was forthcoming and
the matter was placed before Mr..
Clark.

Teru Kato, a Hawaiian, who fought
with the 442d Infantry in Italy.
Il know your men, WELL" Gen
Devers told him. I'm proud to
know them, too. There weren't any
better soldiers on the italian front
Your outfit was the fightingest
bunch there"
He talked to Pfc. Robert Harvey
of the Goth Division, whose mother,
Mrs. Louise Stark, lives at 422
Seventh street NE. Pvt. Harvey
was wounded at st. Lo. And 19-
year-old Pfc. Alex Harrison, son
Of Mrs. Bessie A. Harrison, 1419
Columbia road NV. Pfc. Harrison
was fighting with the AID.
Two Old Buddies.
One private yelled out, general
we meet again." The general looked
puzzled, then asked the soldier
where he had fought. ITALY, sir
with the 36th. You used to come up
to the front-we got to know you. n
Gen. Shelley Marietta, command
ing general of the hospital, who
escorted Gen. Devers on his tour
was afraid the general was spend
ing too much valuable time with the
GIs.
Say the word when you have to
leave" he told Gen. Devers.
II can stay as long as there're
men here to talk to-that is, un-
less, the boys have some entertain
ment coming up.
The general started down another
long line of beds. The boys lying
there stiffened a little when he first
came up-but they grinned and
relaxed when he. mentioned place
after place where they'd fought
dates when they'd been in the midst
of battle. =
They didn't need to be reminded
of places or dates. They knew them
well enough But they seemed to
like the general who knew them,
too,

D. c. Ruling Awaited
One nCIosingofGaI|in
Ward

Health and hospital officials to-
day were awaiting word from the
Commissioners on a recommends
ton that the second floor OF, the
Gallinger tuberculosis building with
50 beds be closed because Of the
acute shortage of personnel
II the floor Is closed, 1t has been
suggested that the patients be
transferred to Upshur street hos
pital or to their homes for nurs-
ing care.
The situation has been compli-
Gated, 1t was learned today, by the
threatened resignation of DR.. David
Leibobicie, medical officer Of Up
shur street.
Health and budget officials, 1t is
understood, are trying to work out
an increase in salary for the medical
officer.
DR.. Sol Katz, medical officer is
charge of the tuberculosis patients,
said he felt that 1t was impossible
to give them proper nursing care
with the present shortage of nurses
and aides.
The second floor, which has white
and colored women, was selected as
the floor to be closed because there
are less women than men on the
waiting list of at least Al active
tuberculosis cases.
Health Offlcer George G. Ruhland
said today that Gallinger was con-
fronted with the same situation
that Glenn Dale Sanitorium was
last summer when it had to close
part of its wards. Closing of the
Gallinger ward appears to be the
only possibility, DR.. Ruhland said,
adding that you have to shorten
sail in a storm" II this change Is
made there will still be a full floor
for colored women at Gallinger.
ANY emergency cases of white wom-
en- could be put on the top floor of
the building, Or. Katz said. He
added the situation at Gallinger had
been critical for some time.
The wards lack "a Of the so nurses
required, according to DR.. Katz,
who said there were only I3 nurses
available yesterday for a 24-hour
period to care for 203 patients. DR..
Katz has been the only doctor on
duty for six months.
Glenn Dale Sanatorium already
has 176 beds closed" The sana-
torium has asked the Commission
ers to permit its nurses, doctors and
dietary workers to work more than
40 or even A hours a week.
Asks Longer Work Week.
DR.. Rutland also has pleaded for
more than a 40-hour work week for
a number of workers in hospitals
and clinics. He said 1t is absolutely
essential that employees on duty put
in extra time. Even then many
clinical sessions will have to be
curtaifed.
DR.. Ella K. oppenheiner, chief
Of the Bureau of Maternal and
Child Welfare, said that some clin-
ical sessions already have been cut
and that others will be combined
for the summer.
