TRANSFER NURSE GROUP
FROM Fl. HUA(HUCA

CAMP BEALE, Calf, Jan. 30
(ANP)-A contingent of Is nurses
led by Captain Della Raney, chief
nurse, has arrived here from Fort
Huachuca, Arizona. They will be
assigned to the nursing of returned
Pacific war veterans. The compara-
lively small number of soldiers at
Huachuca now has enabled the re-
duction in size of the hospital staff
there.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-01-31

AS we watched the convalescing
German p.w.'s at their work about
the camp, their happy smiles made
us wonder how our colored soldiers
were faring in German camps of
American p.w.'s. We wondered
what effect the letters from the
Germans in this camp were having
on their families and among au-
thorities in Germany when they
exposed the fact that they were
under the efficient care Of Negro
nurses whom they had been told
belonged to subhuman group.
The nurses told us that they
looked upon their patients merely
as suffering human beings entitled
to all the skill, care and service
which a nurse professionally must
give patient. The nurses, too, es-
pecially those who had. advanced
training before going into service,
are keenly aware that their per-
formance is being watched and
that as Congressman Frances P.
Bolton of Ohio, mother of the cadet
nurse program, told them when
she visited them recently, that they
are the outposts Of colored war
nurses and their work is most i'm
portant to the cause of the profess
sional progress of the women of
the race.
AS we left the camp and tried to
figure out the why of this situa-
tion, a lot of probable reasons for
the army's placement of those
nurses arose which superseded our
rather patent belief that the army
always moves to discredit the Ne
gro in the interracial scene. Maybe
it's propaganda of a sort which
will help rather than hurt.

Eyewitness Visits German
Prisoner Of War (amp.W Where
CoIored Nurses Serve


(By AMP Correspondent = A
blend of reactions varying from the
tonic-like pride of race which ac-
companies new achievements to
deep apprehension, preceded my
informal visit to the camp in which
Negro nurses were stationed.
Somewhere in England" At the
gate we were courteously directed
to the nurses quarters by the SEN
try, white.
/. The camp site appeared to be in
the typically, well-ordered condi-
rion which marks U. S. Army's To-
cations. We had been previously
Informed that German prisoners
of war were the sole patients at
this hospitals camp. Because of this
we were anticipating a generous
supply of features which would
distinguish this camp from those
at which American soldiers were
hospitalized and under the care of
white nurses. We were disappoint-
ed in our inability to distinguish
even nominal differences.
The nurses dining hall, lounge
and club rooms were cheerfully i'm
macuiate and cozily warm despite
the wintry cold outside and the
unit heating. The PIX unit located
in the club room carried the usual
supply of toiletries, sweets, fruit
juices and personal items as we'll
as corned beef and coca-cola. The
attendant, a white u. S. soldier,
was courteous and respectful in his
duties. A table at one end was
filled with sliced ham, cheese,
spiced meats, pickles, olives, bread
butter, etc.-"help yourself" was
the invitation. A "radio-gram'-
combination record player and ra-
dio-was internationally serviced
by the attendant with good old
home music" The furnishings of
the club included pool table, ping
pong tables, small games section
and comfortable lounge chairs.
While a lively discussion was in
progress between the nurses and
some Red Cross officers regarding
plans for party, we snagged off
three nurses to answer some of the
questions which were burning our
tongues.
"How were they being treated
by their superiors? What was the

new 1Ofk, N. L.
attitude of the German patients
toward them? How did they like
their present assignment? Why
was was the first group of Negro
nurses to arrive in England as
signed to prisoner of war hospi-
tai unit?"
One of the nurses qualified their
possible reactions as being highly
subjective at this early point in a
new experience. They were warmly
welcomed both officially and in
formally on their arrival at a
northern port. A brief stay at two
station hospitals for orientation
proved to be friendly experience
with the white staffs. The degree
of adjustment to this operation
varied individually but they felt
their superiors were trying hard to
help them in their adjustment. The
German p.w.'s were as a whole ex-
ceedingly polite and differential.
The nurses expressed an under
standable distate for the eager an
ticipation Of the prisoners to get
to prisoner of war camps In the
United States.
AS professionally trained nurses
they administered the same care to
German p.w.'s that they would to
their own brother. Being faithful
to their profession they are placed
in the difficult position of helping
an enemy because Of humanitarian
considerations. They find the pris-
oners Of war notoriously aware of
their rights under provisions of
the Geneva treaty. A few Of the
p.w.'s were under peculiar illusions
about the war and America gener-
ally. Many expressed their amaze
ment at finding Negro nurses in
the U. S. Army. The impression of
many was that Negroes were sub
jected to the same prescription all
over America that Jews received in
Germany.
There were frankly skeptical an
swers to the reason for the colored
nurses first assignment being
with p.w.'s. They had looked for.
ward to nursing "their own boys
and would be happiest when that
opportunity came. This attitude is
the same as that so highly mani.
tested in Negro soldiers preferrine
Negro officers. They raise the con.

How Dade County, Ca, happened

armed struggle between the Northern
and Southern states. Many of them
were of Vermont ancestry-a heritage
that gives a man a mind of his own.
Others were from Germany, or their
parents had been, and the reason they
had come TO America was 10 avoid the
aggressive militarism that even then
pervaded the German nation. These
people were not to be stampedcd into
approval of a civil war just because
public opinion throughout the North
was overwhelmingly for il.
