AUSTRIAN PRINCESS HEADS
WORLDWIDE NURSING GROUP

There is also the problem of
postgraduate nursing education.
The medical profession made
such strides during the war that
many nurses need more educa-
ton to bring them up to date.
"This whole question of nurs-
ing education is important to the
world, for efficient nursing con-
tributes to health. an important
part of the world pattern for
peace"
The ines executive secretary
is a good-looking woman with
friendly, smiling eyes and softly
curling brown hair. Her father,
the late Prince John Schwarzen-
berg, was one of imperial Aus
tria's richest men. Princess Sch
warzenberg began her nursing
work in her teens during World
War I, in the war hospitals estab-
lished on some of her fathers
vast estates. Later she. trained
at Rudolfiner Haus "a private hos
pitaD and took post graduate
work at the University of London
and Teachers College. Columbia
University.
After service as superintendent
of nurses in various European
hospitals, she became executive
secretary of the International
Council of Nurses and served at
its successive headquarters in
Geneva, London and New York.
/" To-day she keeps house in a
little Fifth Avenue apartment and
is a wonderful cook. She was
thrust into mastering that tech
nique several years ago when
she shared q New York apartment
with her brother. He announced
one day that she would have to
cook lunch on Saturday for a
special guest he had invited -
the former Empress Zita of Aus
tria. Princess SchwarZenberg,
startled virtually speechless, pull
ed herself together and cooked a
luncheon which the former en-
press called the best she had eat
en- in years.

him reconsider his action, with
the result that the auditor has
definitely decided to retain his

To remain in his present capacity

JOLIET, ILL.,, Aug. ia mar
tial mail order house that handles
100000 different items-as many
as the largest house in the civil
ian trade--is helping the war
wheels rolling on Pacific islands.
It's the Nays Central Spare
Parts Warehouse, a cluster of 40
buildings punched on 33 acres
of land and operated by 1882 men
and women.
The plant, biggest of its kind in
the global U. S. Naval network,
supplies replacement parts for all
the machinery needed to establish
land-based installations and keep
them humming a steady stream
of parts for equipment used to
build roads, sink wells, diStill
water, and maintain trucks, trac-
tors, refrigerators, electric gen.
orators, dredges, dry docks and
even cooking ranges.
Into the humming depot comes
constant flow of material from
$50 manufacturers. The articles
are sorted, catalogued and stored
in vast honeycombs of bins and
shelves. Reconsideration virtu-
ally from the road to Tokyo
pour in. To fill the orders the
wartime merchandise is packed,
addressed in code and hauled to
the shipping docks on special
trucks. Fo
Everything is processed with
care. Parts susceptible to corro-
sion are cleansed in a chemical
vapor, dipped in, strong solution
and dunked i'm an oily rust pre-
ventive. Precision lparts are coat
ed with ethyl ceIlulose-a plastic
that later can be peeled off like
an orange skin.

CANCING UP ON CANCSTERS

HOLLYWOOD. Calif.-Shou

HOLLYWOOD. Calif.-Should

That iss''a ddame55tioSih which has

critics claim gangster pictures
give foreign countries bad view

courage juvenile delinquency.
The question has arisen again
since Monogram brought out its
picture about Dillinger. The film
was made on shoestring and
is making as much money as
most of. the hfgh-priced pic
lures of the major lots. Eyeing
its achievements, producers are
wondering whether to resume the
making of gangster subjects.
For opinion on the subject is w.
r. Burnett, author of Little Gaze
sar" and screen writer of such gun
operas as High Sierra" and This

THE Gun for Hire.
st breaks my heart to see it he
said. Because several years ago
another writer, a guy who had
known Dillinger and had driven
in the morgue car with his body,
wrote a screen play. about the
bandit. Jim Cagney wanted to
play it, but Warmers was afraid.
so just as a trial, they sent
out a story that they were plan
ming to film he life of Dillinger.
What happened? The next Monday
the studio had | 400 kilograms
from women's clubs and other
buSybodies all over the country
asking them not to make the pic
ture. Six months later the studio
issued the same story and got
the same response. Naturally
they couldn't take a chance"
What do you think of the
criticism of gangster pictures?"
Il think it's foolish. l heard a
radio commentator the other
night saying he was against
CANISTER pictures because he heard
three boys playing and they all
wanted to be Dillinger,

kid we all wanted to be Jesse

hadn't seen the picture, he would
have got the urge some other
way. The only people it will
affect like that are morons and
you can't do anything about
morons."
What about the angle that
gangSter films give bad picture
of America to other countries?'
Well, SO do other pictures, .
Burnett said. Take a picture like
Double Indemnity There you
have a couple planning and car

deck. take a look ct the wing of another kamikaze plane that just missed the flight deck and expiod- ed in the water alongside.
 PIONEERED NIGHT FLIGHT
 After you have wandered through off1cers' and crew's quarters, look in Biz Els picture album and see the shambles that they were after the karnikaze exploded, or even after a dropped bomb went through the flight deck and exploded inside.
 Remember Butch O'Harep He made his name and fame nying on the Enterprise, and died leading the first carrier night-f1ying mission, whose methods he had conceived.
 Veteran or boot, your heart fills your throat when you see a last fighter landing on that little deck in a cross-wind by full daylight on calm sea. But the Enterprise pioneered takeoffs and landings in the black of South Pacific night, sometimes when the sea was Tar from calm.
 The saga of the Enterprise has been told fully and often. I'm not telling 1t over again. Nor am I suggesting that, because of her great record, Big E should be kept in service now that we have so many newer, bigger, more efficient carriers.
 All that l am trying to say is that. if ever you have the privilege of setting foot aboard the Gallop- ing Ghost, you are going to walk where some of the most glorious chapters in naval history were re. corded almost continuously be- tween Dec. 8, ie4l, and May II, I945, when Q kaxnikaZe crash sent her back to Bremerton for repairs.

l, return to his command in the fall of ,1944 by clubbing her "T.he Gal- loping Ghost of the Oahu Coast" TO BE DECOMMISSIONED
 Soon thereafter she will be de- commissioned. It is generally ac- cepted that she will be tied up at some major port probably with 8 few fighters and torpedo bombers moored to her deck-as museum of World War II naval achieve ment.
 There are scores of American warships carriers, battlewagors, cruisers, destroyers, submarines and more proSaic craft-that have writ ten proud chapters into the history of this war. There may well be dozens on which as great courage and efficiency, under the most ter- rible conditions, have been exhibit ed, It is possible that there is an- other ship that has done as great damage to the Japs.
 But when you walk up the gang plank to the hangar deck of Big E., and wander through It's tortuous passageways upstairs and down, tread its flight deck and maybe climb laboriously up into the vari- ous levels of the island" you will be about as close to the great tra- dition of American naval glory as you could ever get in this world.
 Out of 22 naval battles in the Pacific, she was in IS. Fifteen times, in four years, the Japs suc- ceeded in damaging her with hits or near misses. Six times the Nips

 AS she approached port fornna- ton of flghterybonbers flew over forming the letter "E." They were from Air Group Six, that had homed on the Enterprise during the eight months of the war. They were now reassigned, but they still loved their old carrier. As proof they flew low so that the men on Big E could see, on signs painted on the aircraft:

7he 'sCaLZoping Ghost " Cones Home
Old Enterprise Most FunouS Worship in
 Modern Times To Retire Soon
By s. BURTON HEATH (NEA Stan C0rrasnnnflenkl

SAANANAAkN
 New York, Oct. Fishes just arl- other Old Lady nova relic about to become a relic. The boys used to think her trim and graceful, and give her the wolf call whenever she hove into view. Her lines haven't changed, though she has had a few major operations and 8 couple of face fittings. She still can step as fast, as high, as wide and as hand some as in her prime. But times have changed, tastes have pro- greSsed, newer models have come along.
 Now she's just the old Enterprise the Big E. She's the f1ghtingest carrier in the fleet and probably the most famous warship in mod ern American history. Now she is making her last round of public ap- pearances before her aged carcass is turned into 8 museum piece.
 We have the Midway now and the Franklin D. Roosevelt, each boosting 45,000 tons of mass and power and beauty. We have 13 nice new Essex class carriers of 27,000 tons each, not to mention the 33O00-ton Saratoga.
 That leaves the Enterprise lag ging, when the Roosevelt takes to sea and a couple of the Essex classers go into service, in 18th place in our carrier procession. SMALL, BUT MIGHTY
 She's small, in contrast with her newer sisters. She's six years old -pre-war. Her equipment isn't so modern and efficient as that of the new carrier debutantes. By concession of the men who love her most, she doesn't belong any more.
 Yet, if the powers that be, had not decreed that Big E must be dee commissioned, doubt that any man who ever served on the Enter prise would willingly accept assign ment to any other carrier in our fleet.
 The way Enterprisers feel about their Old Lady can be illustrated
