Nurses Should Remember
That Veterans Are Heroes

for our remembrances and honor
of them won't grow less with the
years-just because they are Old
veterans, rather than young ones.
It will grow greater, as more ana
more of life passes them by.
HEROES HOSPITALS"
The old veterans who aren't ap-
pealing in their need of nursing
care to nurses today-the veterans
the girls think of when they hear
the word-were young men once,
too. Not so many years ago they
came out of war Scared and dis
abled, but touchingly young. They
are old now - as today's young
veterans will some day be old
but they are still heroes and
should still be regarded as heroes.
It might even wake us up d
little if we called the hospitals car
ing for discharged service men,
suffering from wounds and i'll.
nesses. 'Heroes Hospitals" instead
of Veterans Hospitals. 1t would
sound a note of present rather
than of the past, and perhaps nur.
ses would be more inclined to care
for heroes than for veterans, d
whatever age.

BIZ RUTH MILLETT

In commenting on the shortage
of nurses for work in Veterans
hospitals DR.. Charles M. Griffith
says: The thing we've got to do
is to make our American girls
trained and nearly trained nurses
realize that the veterans they
will care for are not old men, but
youths who only short while ago
we're hteir next-door neighbors
and schoolmates. I'm afraid many
girls aren't interested in serving
with this agency simply because
they're afraid Of that word veter-
an"
That is a lesson not only nurses
need to learn-but all civilians. In
our minds we must come to have
the same kind of respect for the
word veteran as we have for the
work hero.
But our interest and sympathy
shouldn't be founded on the fact
that today's veterans are young.
For they won't always be young.
They'll grow old like the rest OF
us-only many Of them will grow
old in hospitals.
Their need for our understand
ing sympathy and help, their need

WASHINGTON, Apr. A (ANP)
Fury in the Pacific" newest and
generally described as the grimmest
and most realistic war newsreel re-
leased to date, came under the fire
of local citizenry for its sighting
treatment of Negro servicemen.
In letter to a local daily, Cab
rielle Chandler denounced as "cruel
discrimination" the fact that in the
entire picture the only sight of a
Negro is in one "comic relief" scene
which gives "flash" of a scared
Rochester" type Negro soldier in
the middle of battle scene.
"If l were the mother of a Negro
soldier" wrote the protesting
reader, Il would feel that it was the
last straw"

age, but despite these repressive
measure, the Negro population in
the north has grown at an astonish-
ing rate.
However, under the so-called
work, fight or jail' bill just sent
to the Senate by the House of Rep
resentatives on a close vote of 167
to 160, the government will be able
to stop job changes and interstate
migration. Negroes, other workers
and employers violating the deci-
sions of James F. Byrnes, director
of war mobilization, will be subject
to fine of $4,000 and year in
jail. If the Senate approves the bill,
Byrnes would delegate the admins
tration of the law to Paul McNutt
and the War Manpower commission.
Power delegated to the VINO would
in turn be delegated to or admins

of the United States Employment
service. Whether that would be a
good thing depends upon the par
ticular community.
In committees where labor is we'll
organized and powerful the power
will not be abused. In communities
where workers can vote judges will
restrain arbitrary and improper ap-
plication of the law. In short where
democracy is effective, excesses
can be prevented.
But in the south in many small
towns and farm areas all over the
country where local planters, farm
ers, and politicians run VINO and
other things pretty much as they
please, it will be a different story.
Negroes and other powerless groups
will get it in the neck. Under threat
of fine and Imprisonment backed up
by the power of the federal govern
ment, Negroes will be told to stay
on the farm and work for whatever
wages, even less that 81, which
might be fixed.
The CIO, the AFL, and organized
business are utterly opposed to the
bill and despite Mr.. Roosevelt's sup
port it will have a stormy time in
the Senate. On the verge of victory
in Europe and planned reduction in
war-production the bill seems per-
fectly senseless. But in the face of
circumstances under which it will
be administered it will become an
other fugitive slave law.
