Camp Davis Makes Plans
To Receive War Victims

Broad plans mapped out by the
Army Air Forces Personnel Dis

Camp Davis into it's fifth reds
tribution station and tenth conva-
descent hospital are beginning to
take shape as the giant base is
rapidly being prepared to receive
its first flow of combat returnees.
Air Force administrative Of
ficials will not comment about the
date the first convalescent patients
will arrive, but work is being
pushed so fast to make the camp
ready for them that it can easily
be guessed that the time is a mat
ter of weeks.
Some $50 Air Corps officers and
enlisted men, supplementing the
Service Forces personnel that re-
NAMED following the diminish
ment of the Antiaircraft Artillery
strength, have arrived at the post
headquarters to carry out the or
ders issuing from the office of Ma
jor Donald S. Joyce, in connec-
ton with the reconversion.
Plans, evolved by the Air Corps,
call for full use to be made OF
the old hospital area, bounded by
21st, 22nd, and c streets. The over
flow of convalescent patients will
be housed in the sector Of 23rd,
D and c streets; and station COM
plemenr personnel will occupy
barracks east Of this area. Re.
turnee officers will live in an area,
bounded by goth. 18th, D, and c
streets; and returnee enlisted men
in the section between c, E, 18th
and 18th streets. No plans were
announced for use of the areas
lying west of 18th street and east
of the station complement bar
racks.
Stripped OF the equipage, once
used by officers and enlisted per-
sonnet in their training for anti
aircraft warfare, the buildings in
teriors are being refreshed with
paint and remodeled for the pur-
poses the Air Forces expect to
put them to.
Nearly one-quarter of the Ger
man war prisoner strength of the
post is at work scrubbing, painting
the interior and remodeling the
wards of the hospital, being

Big Three believed that problems
Of liberated territories can best be
settled as they arise.
The second major point the
French raised was what channels
would be used for exchanging in
formation among the great powers
Of the liberated areas. They were
told that regular diplomatic chan
nels would be used.
The Paris government was un-
derstood to be worried that the
policy for liberated territories
would be settled by the Anglo
American-Soviet foreign ministers
in their proposed periodic meet
ings and that France, if she agreed
to help administer the affairs of
disturbed countries Of Europe,
would have no voice in determin-
ing that policy.
Officials here believe that the
failure of the Big Three to include
the French in plans for the for
eign ministers meeting is at the
moment the focal point for
French criticism Of the Crimean
agreements.
The White House, in issuing an
official disptach today on Mr..
Roosevelt's recent travels, laid the
responsibility for the lack of a
Roosevelt de Gaulle meeting di.
rectly on the president of the
French Provisional Government.
The official account made these
points: six days before he expect
ed to be in Algiers, Mr.. Roosevelt
invited de Gaulle to meet, him
there and expressed regret that
time would not allow him to visit
continental France. De Gaulle re.
piled that official business would
not permit him to visit Algiers.
The President was ''most disap-
pointed" the dispatch released by

During the night Of July 21,22,
the enemy launched a series of
four heavy counter-attacks against
K company's perimeter on Chonito
cliff. During the first OF these an
enemy hand grenade exploded in
Skagg's hole, blowing off his low
er left leg. Applying a tourniquet
to his disnembered limb, he re-
manned in his foxhole for the re-
naming eight hours Of darkness,
propping himself up in his fox
hole in such a position that, de-
spite the loss of his leg, he was
able to return enemy fire with his
rifle and hand grenades.
''In the desperate struggle that

men in defending positions were
killed or wounded. Skaggs' heroic
example enabled other wounded to
continue the fight, holding their
ground until 1t became necessary
to withdraw a short distance in
order to shorten the defensive

remained calm and cheerful, re-

him both as to his own condition
and the situation in general,
which at that time was desperate.
