ARMY HOSPITAL
 TREATS CASES
 OF TRENCH FOOT

Camp Carson, Col, May Il - (U. P) - Trench foot, the disease that cripples soldiers who are forced to live in cold, wet trenches or fox holes, has sent more than 2,800 men
 to Camp Carson's army hospital in recent months.
 The men were brought back to this country from the cold, winter fronts, and at Camp Carson the Army tries to give them comfort
 from the agony which comes with trench foot.
 In some cases 1t is necessary to use penicillin to combat infection, but in most cases treatment mere ly requires lot of time, with the soldiers spending much of it oiling and massaging their feet. In the physical therapy clinic, whirlpools operate all day, and soldiers sit with their feet in the swirling water. The running water, they say, feels good on their feet.
 When they first get back from the fighting fronts, many of the men are unable to stand up. They are sent to the General Hospital, where they remain until they can stand and walk. Then they go to the Convalescent Hospital where exercises are given to improve cir culation and help them to walk normally again. Some of the SOL diers eventually have to wear shoes that are specially made. Doctors emphasize that trench foot is not an infectious disease, and in no way related to athletes foot.

duction. The trickle of lend-lease became the flood tide of victory.
 In aviation, notably, the Amer ican genius for organization-heavy bombers, bombsights, tactics-gave us leadership in that new, requisite realm which the Nazis had claimed as theirs. There, the facts confirm and Rundstedt admits, we snatched triumph from disaster. Our bombing hamstrung German troop move ments after D-Day.
 HIT V-BOMB PLANTS
 Our air raids postponed produc- tion of V-Weapons intended to pre- vent D-Day ever daWning, and then Whittled them down. At the last, our bombing cut production of oil and gasoline to 71a per cent of Luftwaffe needs. Without all the other damage to industry and railroads, that alone could have been decisive.
 Not only in the new air general ship does American genius for com- petition show. While land-sea stra- tegy and tactics in the Mediterran- can were largely British, in the north they were largely American.

American Genius For Organization Snatched Triumph From Disaster In Battle For Air Superiority
BY THOMAS M. JOHNSON
 NEA Military Writer

Washington, May 11-As the pa- per snowflakes of VIE Day melt, we can look back upon this very great victory in humble gratitude, yet with special pride. For in a unique sense, it is victory of American genius.
 That does not mean that i've won the war!" No one nation did-for all did. And such boasts would con- flute that genius for cooperation with our Allies, generous yet realis- tic, that underlay all our successful strategy. That strategy was to weak en and defeat Germany first by sup porting Russia, while strengthening ourselves for later decisive blows.
 We admired Russia's bravery and Sympathized in her losses-perhapS 15 million combatants and civilians. And realistically, we recognized hers as the only army that in 1922 and 1943 was major obstacle to the Wehrmacht's superiority in equip ment and skill.
 So we pushed our air power to aid Russia against the Luftwaffe. Our industrial power supplied her not only with 13,00O planes but with nearly 500000 tanks and motor ve- hicles. These were indispensable to her ground offensives, which were increasingly successful until they eliminated last January in the vic- tories that so greatly helped to make May possible.
 WEAKENED WESTWALL
 Not only did the Russians force Germany's eastern marches, but they drew off from us German divi- sions whose departure left too many chinks in the Westwall. The Sieg- fried Line crumbled before the re- inforced strength we and Britain had built up originally in our great British outpost -bridgehead.
 Britain had held that bridge head not only with air and ssa power, but also with a lonely cour- age that evoked our admiring aid. And again, our help paid off It would have been disastrous for us if Britain's 9th Army had not prevent ed Nazi-Jap link-up by saving the Suez crossroads-Withc critical Amer ican-made supplies.
 Thus began in North Africa the British-American out-blitzing of the Nazi originators of the blitzkrieg- largely through American genius for organization and mechanical pro-

 Spring comes in with a bang when Nick Charles, riding out to partake of the beauties of nature, gets beaned by a bracelet thrown into the open top of his taxicab. The im- pact puts ideas into the heads of the smooth sleuth and his lovely wife, Nora, and the quest for the owner of the mysterious bracelet ends up with bracelets being snapped on ruthless killer and his beauti- ful accomplice.

In teamwork, British doggedness and thoroughness were indispens- able, but our daring imagination largely "sold" Churchill D-Day as 8 practical possibility.
 Our aggressive punch won key victories: Cherbourg, St. Lo, Aachen and finally the Remagen bridge head. Eisenhower's instant follow through on his own initiative solved the Ruhr problem quickly and cheaply, causing the Nazis to lose that indispensable region in the biggest battle of encirclement in history.
 Tn the final victory, there is glory enough for all. Still, we have shown that the American genius is peculiarly adapted to modern war with it's mechanization, manufactur- ing, movement, maneuver, That genius has created an unprecedent- ed, invincible might on air, sea and land, and directed it well. It has been the overall deciding factor in bringing victory against Axis terror and tyranny in half the world soon- CT than seemed possible.
