General DeGsulle met such a sweeping

BERLIN-(P)-The 18Th Evacua-
ton Hospital under Col. Seth
Gayle, Jr, of Richmond, Va, can
proudly boast being the first Amer
lean hospital ever to operate in
Berlin.
Within 48 hours after its so
trucks started for Berlin with the
Second Armored Division, trailing
road column that stretched for
several hundred miles, it already
was receiving patients.
The hospital also claims to have
functioned under battle conditions
closer to Berlin than any other
American medical outfit. 1t was
only rs miles from the battered
capital when the shooting ended
The going was pretty tough in
those days. In fact, as hospital
authorities now see it, they had
no business being SO close to the
! fighting with an evacuation hospi-
tai. When Gayle was reconnoiter-
ing for a suitable hospital loca-
ton, SIS troopers killed eight SOL
diers only so yards ahead of him,
but ne and his driver Charles Dav-
is of Hartford, Conn.,, got away
safely.
Davis was rewarded with
Bronze star by Surgeon Gen. Nor
man 7. Kirk when he came to Ber-
lin with President Truman's party.
Kirk also awarded Bronze Stars
to Capt Holland T. Myers of Lex
ington, N. c., and Capt. Donald
Weisman of White Plains, N. Y.
the hospitals executive officer.
I've seen many evacuation hes
pitfalls but have found none so ex-
cellently equipped, both with medi-
cal specialists and competent nurs-
es as well as with medical facil-
tiles and operating room equip
ment, despite the fact the hospital
must content itself with German
school building.
Perhaps the best way to illus
trate the point is to describe my
own 15-day experience as pa

In Four Years

1t is interesting to note this nations slow
approach to war in the Pacific, and what is
now transpiring in that theater.
On July 30, 1941, the acting Secretary of
State, Sumner Welles made sharp represen-
tations'' to Admiral Nomura, then Japanese
Ambassador at Washington, over the bomb
ing of the U. S. gunboat TutUila and Amer-
can Embassy property across the Yangtze riv-
er from Chungking. On the same day the
Treasury Department granted a license per-
hitting the Japanese liner Tatuta Maru TO
withdraw funds frozen in this country to pay
for fuel to return to Japan, but refused tu
permit the liner to unload her $500 900 silk
cargo. The liner thereupon locked at San
Francisco with hundred American passen-
gers.
The following day. July 81, 1941, Mr.. WeIes
announced the Tutuila bombing closed u
cident with Japan's offer to pay damages and
an expression of regret. American importers
brought libel actions against the Tatuta Maru,
seeking possession of goods aboard the YES
sell
On August /, 1871, President Roosevelt is
sued an order banning the export Of motor
fuels and oils Suitable for use in aircraft" to
destinations other than in the Western Henri
sphere, the British Empire, and the unoccu-
pied territories Of other countries resisting
aggression. The Treasury Department permit
ted the Tatuta Maru to unload her cargo
at San Francisco.
These incidents show at least the surface
situation SIX months before Pearl Harbor.
With the exception Of refusing more gasoline
for Japan's war, it is obvious the United
States still hoped to avoid combat in the
Orient.
Four years later on July 80, 1945, yesterday
Japan had no major naval vessel in opera
tional condition That was the twenty-f.rst day
OF the sea-air attack of Admiral Halsey'.

This story of latter-day Tho

After spending years in patient

WAR CHARITIES
 GET ETS16,OOO,OOO FROM SPORTS

Chicago, March 7-- (U.P) = The nations major professional sports baseball, football, racing, golf and boxing have contributed more than Sl6,000,000 to war-time char ities during the past three years 1t was revealed today in United Press survey,
 The No. 1 contributor was horse racing. It was impossible, due to in- complete records, to obtain figures from all of the states which have racing, but official reports from New York, Illinois and California established track proprietors as pro sports top donators.
 New York and California tracks alone topped the contributions of other sports. Racing in the Empire State gave $3,D6l, ,785 during the three years, while California tracks contributed $3,57i ,263. California racing, Bay Meadows and Holly wood Park, also donated the top single-year total of S2,377,077 in l044, before War Mobilization Di- rector James F. Byrnes banned the sport for the duration
 Baseball's major leagues were next with $2,630.460 during the past three years, followed by the other sports in this order: National Foot ball League, $l,6l0,564; Professional Golfers Association, $650,000 and Boxing, $450000, from California and New York rings alone.
 Donations from Professional Hockey and minor league baseball pushed the total over the $i6,000,- 900 mark. Figures from the minors were incomplete, but the available totals showed more than $600000.
 Professional hockeys charity con- tributions were made through the leagues individual clubs, which failed to record all donations. The Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, for example, con- tributed the total receipts from their opening game and other clubs had similar arrangements.
 Pro sports hit its high mark last year with total donation of ST. 525,2ll, surpassing by more than $l000,000 it's totals for the two previous years.

WASHINGTON
 SENATORS IN
 SPRING DRILL
By CARL LUNDQUIsT United Press StaiH COrrespondent)

United PreSS Stan COrrespondent)
 New York, March - tU.PD - A little huddle of pitchers and catchers for the Washington Sem ators were set to open major league spring training officially today at College Park, Md, in an atmosphere as foggy as the immediate future of the sport itself.
 Gone until victory, at least, are the days of warm sunshine in the balmy climes of Southern Califor- mia, Florida and Texas, but major league club owners are resigned to take whatever steps are necessary to keep baseball alive through one more war time season.
 That they will be able to muster sufficient manpower to operate was matter of speculation which can't be settled until congress completes work -else legislation. Despite the uncertainty, however, there is no thought of quitting and each of the 10 major league teams will proceed with spring training as planned.
 Manager Ossie Bluege of the Sen- ators was certain only that three of his veteran nuckle ball pitching artists, John Niggeling, Roger Wolf, and Emil Leonard, would be on hand when drills begin today on the University of Maryland campus weather permitting.
 The prospects were for rain and foggy weather. The setting was typical at least of what all major league teams have been up against since northern spring training first was instituted in 1943. It would be an innovation If the weather were decent.
 The Senators are a sadder and wiser lot than the hopeful band which went into training in 1914 as top choice of the baseball writers to succeed the New York Yankees as pennant winners in the American League. Instead, they got of to miserable start and begged down into the second division, finishing in last place, 25 games behind the winning St. Louis Browns.
 This year no one expects them to go places. The fact that the pres- sure is of may help them.
 If they can keep even a portion of the players lined up. they will not be lacking for manpower. Forty-one players are listed on the advance roster, 12 of them draft-safe latins. That probably is more than any other club will be able to muster, al- though many in the group are not of major league caliber. The field includes Is pitchers, four catchers. eight outfielders and IA infielders.
 The top hands on the pitching staff are expected to be Leonard, Wolff, Niggeling, Milo Candini, Alex Carrasquel, Milton Haefner, and William Lefebvre, all seasoned vet erans.
 The Chicago Cubs touch off Na- tonal League training activities to- morrow at French Lick, Ind, and the communique from there is that the diamond lis under water as usual at this time of the year.
 Manager Charley Grimm, who has been on hand to inspect the amphibious layout said that there is enough land showing for a run ming and throwing workout"
 He said l6 players would be on hand for the opening. most of them pitchers and catchers.
