ONE Of the chief dangers arts
ing from burns Is the possible
occurrence Of large scar forma-
tion during healing, The amount
Of soaring will, Of course, vary
with the extent Of the damage done
TO the tissues. Then deformitis re-
suits from contraction or shrink
age Of the skin when healing takes
place. Thus, in the treatment OF
burns II is important 10 replace the
lost skin By means Of skin grating
or ,ransplantlng.
In skin grating there are Ger
tain definite things which are nee
essary so that the implanted skin
will take that IT, that the skin Will
grow.
To begin with. the burned area
must be practically free from in
lection before the grating is done
This can be brought about by US
.ng dressings Of sterile salt solu-
ton alternating with dressings Of
a chlorine solution for a period Of
- hours before the graft rs done
II there is any excess scar tissue
present II should be removed with
a sharp razor with as little injury
as possible TO the underlying us
sues. Following the removal Of this
tissue. all bleeding must De com
p.etely checked. This can be accom-
plished by using warm salt-so u
ton packs for few minutes In
some cases 1t may be advisable TO
apply gaule soaked in epinephrine
since epinephrin. causes contrae-
tion OF the blood vessels and checks
the bleeding. The skin area from
which the gratis are to be taken
must be cleaned with some accept
able autiseptic.
In recent years, ar instrument
known as a dermatome has been
invented which makes It possible
10 cut off large pieces Of skin three
to five inches across which are uni
form in thickness. This instrument
mas made it possible to carry out
skin grating much more success
fully.
The skin graft is spread over
the raw burned surface easily and
is sewed into place with fine silk
thread. The graft is then covered
with a non-irritating dressing,
such as yaseline gauze. Then a firm
bandage is applied.
The dressing is left in place for
about four days unless there il.
some pain, tenderness, or fever.
Then the wound is inspected at
once 10 determine if any infection
has developed, and II infection is
present proper treatment is given.
Skin grating is not a difficult
procedure. and should always be
utilized without delay in large
burns to keep deformitIs from de-
veloping.

BUCHENWALD, Germany AP
Eight American congressman
agreed today after inspecting the
horrors Of Buchenwald prison camp
that the evidence OF Nazi atrocities
committed there exceeded the wild
est flights OF Imagination. This
is the most horrible thing that any
one could conceive" said Rep. Car
ter Manasco (D-Ala) after he and
his companions had been shown
around the camp-where emaciated
bodies Of the Nazis' victims are still
stacked like cord wood. where men
were hung on spikes like sides OF
beef until they died, and where
bodies by the hundreds were burn
ed In furnaces.

Neither the invasion OF Okinawa
nor the remuneration by Russia OF
the four.y ear-sld Russo-Nippon neu'
/ trality agreement was responsible
for the fall Of the koiso govern
ment in Japan. Its fall was newt
able, and its succession by crew
OF bilgewater bureaucrats equally
inevitable. But koiso's iiasco was
heightened by the invasion and the
remuneration OF the pact, and 1t is
doubtful II the government OF Pre-
mier Admiral Baron Kantaro Su-
zuki will do better.
Koiso fell because internal Affairs
lacked intelligent guidance. He
failed to evacuate the iittery, fire
bombed millions from their ruined
cities. Koiso's home minister was
blamed for the inadequacy OF fire
protection in factories and air raid
shelter construction for the civil
ians. The bald fact is that there
exists no place to send harassed
residents OF the crowded cities now
targets OF our bombers but shelter
preparations were so ludicrously in
adequate that this. fact is overlook
ed. Three great airplane factories
were immobilized by Superfort
raids, and Koiso learned too late
that replacement OF dies, special
tools. engines and castings was
next to impossible,
The third factor In this comedy
OF incompetence Is Col Kingoro
Hashimoto. THE Kangaroo. Nip
pon's Heinrich Himmler, who
makes, breaks and shoots Cabinet
lineups. Backed by the equally I'M
principled Gen. Jiro Minami, he
controls government by assasslna'

Calling the Suzuki Cabinet bilge-
water bureaucrats Is an act OF ar
rant fattery. Suzuki is a dodder-
ing, dated elder statesman. com
pletely lacking in organizational
ability and entirely unable TO lead,
administer or direct empire affairs.
His minister Of the navy, Admiral
Mitsumasa Yonai. lost a fourth OF
his fleet tonnage the day after he
took the holdover post in the SuZu-
XII government-the 4j.000-ton sup
erdreadnaught Namato, named af-
ter the divine race, which Ameri'
can torpedoes sent to the imperial
ancestors.
Suzukis Foreign Minister, Shige'
nori Togo, is an apologetic, stuffed
shirt, protocol diplomat, who would
be hard put to qualify the wearing
OF a Ounce cap in cabinet meet
ings. War Minister Gen. Anami is
one-time chief OF police, and If
YOU know japanese police you have
a fair gauge OF his mentality. The
naming of Field Marshals Sugi-
yama and Hata could mean that
they will be assigned the roles OF
organizing all home front services
to resist invasion. These two and
Gen. Kenj. Doihara bring into the
government the only aviation ana
