War On tuberculosis

The guns are silent now, but tuberculosis
is still killing. From Pearl Harbor to vi
Day the war claimed an American life at the
rate of one every seven minutes, while on
another front tuberculosis killed at the rate
of one every nine minutes.
Past wars have brought increases in tuber.
culosis, but no one is able to predict yet
what effect World War II will have on the in.
cidence of the disease Already Europe and
Asia have reported sharp increase. while
At present the death rate in this country has
declined on the whole.
tuberculosis is a long-term disease and
with this in mind the Army and Navy have
issued orders for all men to be X-rayed before
their release.
Proper medical care has forced the tuber
culosis death rate from first to seventh as q
cause of death for the general population, ye
during last year tuberculosis alone killed ap
proximately 10, 900 more Americans than were
killed in action or died from wounds received
in action in the first World War.

Another dividend in violence re-
sulting from the years western
nations allowed Japan's warlords
to run rampant over the Far East
has come to light.
General MacArthur's intelligence
staff reveals a school of "discon-
tent in Tokyo where other Asia
tics were schooled in ways to op-
pose western influence in their
homelands.
The institution, set up in an
American Christian Mission Uni.
versity, was known as 1.-THE School
for Greater East Asia Culture
In the words of American au-
thorities in Japan, the purpose of
the propaganda establishment was
to explode intellectual land
mines" wherever western thought
and endeavor sought to maintain
themselves in Asia.
These explosions are being
heard throughout the Orient in
proportion to how Japan's mill
tarists were able to foist off their
made-in-Tokyo doctrines.

Treated Like Cattle

Accounts OF ARMY veterans IaASpoI Ieo
across the country in overcrowded day
coaches, without ordinary porter service, ir
fi..h unspeakable, with little to eat and watel
scarce, didn't get under the skin of the aver
age newspaper reader because the bulk Of
them did not see either soldiers or coaches
plants as the exaggerations of few dis
gruntled men. Surely the Army, which owed
such heavy debt to its soldiers, would never
consent to let its men be subjected to such
travel conditions. This view obtained even
after substantiating testimony was offered and
the coaches themselves bore mute evidence
of the truth of the complaints
If this was true of soldiers in the West, as
it obviously was, no one in this vicinity can
doubt the story Of sixty-six marines who ar
rived in Wilmington on Saturday afternoon,
bedraggled WORKOUT, resentful, after being
transported from San Diego, California, to this
city in day coach, destined for the Camp
Lejeune separation center.
Their story was told, by word and picture,
in yesterdays Star-News. They were all vet
Grams of Pacific battles. Most of them wore
the purple heart. All had enough and many
They had fought good fight. That they sur
vived the war in the Orient is due solely to
the luck of battle. Yet they were herded into
a coach, for most of their trip locked in like
prisoners.
Consider their plight After pitifully slow
voyage to San Diego, they were held in camp
for ten days, without liberty. They needed
shoes to replace their tattered combat shoes,
but learned shoes were fer sale only to officers
and non-coms of the two top pay grades. From
San Diego to Chicago they Travelled in one
car, which was dirty to start with In New
Mexico they ran out of water and had none
for five hours. At Chicago they boarded
chair car and went without drinking water
to Cincinnati.
There were six Pullmans on this train one
of which had but three passengers and none
OF the others was more than half filled. They
were not allowed to occupy the unoccupied
sections Of berths. Their coach was switched
to another train at Cincinnati, and they had no
water all the way to Petersburg, Va. 1t was
at Petersburg they were switched to an ACL
train and had water into Wilmington.
Whatever the scarcity of rolling stock for
returning veterans, such trip as this cannot
be condoned. That the Navy should permit
any detail Of its Infantry to be so mistreat.
ed, is irreconcilable with the boast that the
Navy always looks out for its own. The fact
that the fighting is over and the men who did
the fighting are impatient to be at home again,
cannot justify either the Navy or the railroads,
which have otherwise done such magnificent
job during the war emergency and its after
math, in treating any group of men in the
armed service like dumb driven cattle.
We are free today because our fighting
forces saved u.s. The least we can do is to get
them home in as much comfort as civilians
enjoy on trains.

peace that will assure the eradica-

Nazis are far from beaten. As for
Japan, we have but cut into the

Brockton, Mass, Jan. li-(UP)- Brooding over year-long eStrange- ment. a 44-year- Brockton bar Der critically wounded his wife ear ly today and then fatally wounded himself in the bedroom where she and two of their six minor children were sleeping.
 Some two hours after the tragedy, Bruno Stern died at the hospital where his wife Nina, 36, also was taken with wounds in her arm and stomach.
 One of the bullets, which ripped it's way along the woman's arm, narrowly missed their son Robert, 1, who was sleeping in the bed be- side his mother. The spent slug was found in the mattress not far from the crib where another child Joseph, 2, was asleep.
 According to police, Stern had been separated from his wife for year, living in an apartment some distance away. About II p. m. he came to the tenement where his wife andc hildren lived, demanded someof his clothing and left after 1t was given him.
 About a. m, according to the couples daughter Dorothy, Is, Stern again came to the house and was admitted. Minutes later the girl heard "an explosion" and ran to the bedroom. She found her woundedmot her writhing in the bed and her father lying on the floor with blood pouring from a wound in his right ear and pis- tol near his hand
