the whole Nazi criminal conspiracy
there is under the laws of war
ample legal ground to hang the
top Nazis several times over.
The top Nazis are like criminals
who have committed not one crime
but many; if a man has committed
murder, robbery, rape and arson,
he may be judged guilty OF all of
them. Which particular crime he
is hanged for is a legalistic pro-
blem, not problem Of justice.
The decision TO try the top MAJ
for their greatest crime, as well
as for their accessory crimes, is an
act of high craftsmanship. 1t would
no doubt have been easier just
to make a list of the war criminals,
and shoot them as soon as they
were arrested and identified. The
decision to undertake the respon-
sibility of proving their crimes,
and within limits to give them a
hearing, could open the way to OBJ
struction which would cheat JUS
tice. The members of the interna-
tional military tribunal and tAe
prosecutors have, therefore, a
great moral responsibility not to
let the process become mockery.
But if they do their duty, as Mr..
Justice Jackson mas defined 1t, they
can make an epochal contribution
to reinforcing the moral foundation
of international society.

Over 1000 Babies Born
At u. s. Naval Hospital

and at this camp alone, approx
mately $4,000 dependents were
treated here and $500 admitted
to the hospital.
One reason that the Family Hos
pital has had such phenomenal
success is due to the fact that while
most acutely i'll persons may be
admitted, no one suffering from a
conta gious or infectious disease is
hospitalized. This keeps infection
to mothers, who are highly suscep-
tible Immediately after child
birth, at a minimum and loss of
life due to this cause is unknown
here.
However, no person is turned
away from the hospital without
help. In cases of infectious or con-
ia gious disease, the State Aid Soc
iety, Red Cross or Navy Relief
step in and make arrangements
for the sick person to be treated
Or hospitaIzed as may be neces-
sary. The State aid, which plays
large part in this program, is
Joint organization in which the
National and State governments
combine to aid dependents in need
of financial assistance. Nervous,
mental and chronic cases are not
admitted to the hospital, but are
cared for by these organizations
if their assistance is needed.
The staff of the Family Hospital
stresses every point to gain the
confidence of the service men and
their families A dependant of any
person in the armed forces, from
the highest ranking officer to
private in the field, may be admit
ted and receive the same treat
ment. The enlisted men of the low
er pay grades are the primary
concern of the hospital because
they are less able to afford treat
ment in a civilian hospital or by
an outside physician.
The staff of the Family Hospital
may call upon the Medical Officers
serving at the parent Naval Hes
pltal, Where specialists IN every
type of medicine are on duty, for
consultation or assistance as re-
quired. All major types of medical
and surgical cases have been treat
ed here. While on an inspection
tour of the Naval Hospital, Rear
Admiral Dallas C. Sutton, Inspec-
tor of Medical Department Actiyi- |
ties on the East Coast, after read
ing list of the doctors stationed |
here remarked, It's like reading
a list of the Stats at Mayo's or
Hopkins.
Complete in every way, the
Family Hospital even takes the
condition of tine prospective father
into consideration. A special room
has been provided where he can
smoke, pace, worry and pray I'M
til the big moment is over.

By M/sGT. KEN MILLER

A day in the life Of an Army
columnist-We climbed out of our
luxurious" bed at the crack of
dawn-0615. Chats Army time
for 6:15 a.mJ-made a mad dash
for the washroom, duched under
cold shower usually there's hot
water) and when we emerged dis
covered it was a beautiful day.
After a Ielsurely breakfast Us
minutes flat we made our bed and
poiced up around our bunk army
for sweeping and hopping the
floor around the bedD only to dis
cover it was time to leave for the
office. Since it was such beauti-
full day we decided to walk the
mile or SO to headquarters. But
bus came along and we were east
ly persuaded to ride.
Upon arrival at the office we
greeted the staff, including the
public relations officer we're on
speaking terms every -once-in-a
while) and it was still a beautiful
day. Some 10 minutes later our
friend the officer (someday we're
gong to write a story about him.
said, Sergeant, what about a cou-
pie of Morning Reports?"
Right then and there it ceased to
be a beautiful day. Even if the sun
had continued to shine it would
have been gloomy day. Sir,
there seems to be shortage of
material at the moment" was our
excuse for not having written them.
But III get busy on them right
away" was the best answer we
could think of at the monet.
To keep our word, we solicited
every member of the staff then on
hand for some items for our col
umn. We solicited every enlisted
man and officer we knew in head
quarters. Every effort drew
blank. So back to the office in a
brown study.
Then one Of the sergeants in the
department came up with an idea.
How about some of the entertain
ers?' he says. Fine. How do we
get a hold of them" we reply,
grasping at straw. The sergeant
does some telephoning and the
soldier entertainers come dashing
right over to the office. By this
time it is 1000 90 o'clock. Get
ting those entertainers in the Of
flee all at one time was the second
bad break of the day.
Such mad group of clowns we
have never met before tconfiden-
tally, never again we hope). Work
stopped after 10 seconds. The Of
fjcer made some excuse to leave.
So did the rest of the staff. For
the first half hour we were not
quite sure if they were sane or
not. Some one had left box of
cigars someplace and all we could
get out of the patter going around
us was, wonder about those ci-
CARS. Suppose they'll be safe 1t
sounded like a routine. Finally by
