What Bombs Do to People
Washington Starr

In it's report on the effect of aerial attacks on civilian health in Germany the medical branch of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey makes clear occasionally in gruesome detaithat the German nome front in ways dangerous than the patte front Indeed, the report makes point of declaring that many of Htlers troops chose to remain at the front rather than spend their leaves at home Not everything that happened to the health ot Germany could be attributed to air attack alone but the report while taking note of this nevertheless indi cates that falling bombs-and the ncendiares were much efficient killers than the exposives-were by far the greatest single factor in the grim picture From the start of the heavy American-RAF offensive until the end of the approximately 5OO000 German civilians were killed 100000 injured and 78OOOO0 rendered homeless Water systems and sewage disposal plants wrecked that only the excellent hygienc habits of the people prevented deadly epidemcs About third of the countrys urban hospitals were totally erased and as the raids continued there marked progressive decline in the number of doctors available in the ability to carry on medical education in the efficiency of what had been well-organzed public health service, supplies of medicines and surgical equipment and in nutrtional standards and the food supply the latter largely because of what the bombing did to transportation facilities
 About the only thing that held up well under the relentless pounding the German nervous system, with little increase occurring in psychiatric dis orders Otherwise, in the words of the report, if the bombings had continued for several months longer, physicians would have been unable to offer the barest essentials of medical care epdemics would have ensued and the adequacy of the dlet would nave been well within the range of starvation Nor is the worst necessarily over for our Allied raids have left behind them the terrible problem of people close to pestience and famine and whether the impact of this will be sufficiently sustained to pull them into the abyss of apocalypse only the experience of this winter can tell"
 The report ends with the warning that Germany's experience demonstrates that protection of civilian health will be one of the most fundamental conditions for national survival in future war" The distnc hatt has erased entirely. Education In hygiene, planned food reserves dispersal of population groups of hospitals of plants making essential medical suppes-these of the things that must be considered as essential to preparedness armed forces It is not pretty pie
 but in the of air power eectronics and atomic energy, must face the fact that the fate of the Germans will seem mild compared to what will be in store for and other peoples if this peace through some suicidal madness it allowed to fall apart twenty thirty years from now.

UNITED NATIONS HOME

Representative Adolph Sabath of Illinois was making an impassioned speech in favor of Chicago as the site for the United Nations Or ganization, when Vito Marcan- tonic, New York American-Laborite, broke in:
 T am afraid Chicago is dis qualified because of it's continuous warfare against England
 He was referring to the late Big Bill" Thompson, former mayor of Chicago, who once threat ened to punch the King of England on the nose and to the subsequent anti British crusade of the Chi cago Tribune. Marcantonio, on the other hand, insisted that peace loving New York was the ideal spot for the United Nations.
 T wonder if we could not com promise on Plymouth, suggested COP Minority Leader Joe Martin who comes from Massachusetts.
 Yes, I concede that this is a historic spot" replied Sabath, but surely the gentleman does not contemplate that the United Ma tions Organization should founder on rock"

 Moscow, without consulting Tru- man. Probably he didn't mean it that way, but it caused irritation inside the White House.
 Again, before he came back from the London Conference last fall, Jimmy announced without con- sulting his chief-that he would deliver a radio address to the nation. The White House didn't like this, either
 Despite this slip. when Jimmy alighted from his Moscow plane last week, he once again announced that he would give radio report to the nation.
 These small things, plus some other bigger ones, have riled re- lations between the President and his No cabinet officer. Both men are a little quick on the trigger. Both are sensitive beneath the surface. In addition, the President happens to be surrounded by sev- eral advisers who not only don't care much for Byrnes, but think he has fumbled several balls on the foreign affairs front
 PREDICTION: There is bound to be a clash between Byrnes and Truman before the year 1946 is over.

dead opposed to Collett ever since the judges family bolted the Roosevelt Truman ticket last year
 3-Abolished controls on building materials. Then, after prices scared and a loud and justified protest came from veterans, Snyder re- versed himself and put back the controls.
 Snyder's bungling came to a eli max the other day when Truman learned that he had eased Bob Nathan out of the Reconversion Office. When Truman heard about it, he threw up his hands.
 What! Bob Nathan leaving the government!" he exclaimed He's one of the ablest men know Can't we get him to stay?"
 It happened that Truman had known Nathan's work intimately when the latter was in the War Production Board. So he promptly called Nathan to the White House and spent 45 minutes trying to undo the error of his bumbling Reconversion Chief, John Snyder
 But he didn't succeed Nathan was fed up with Snyder errors Meanwhile, Snyder has replaced Nathan with a former America Firster, Richard Bissell.
 PREDICTION: John Snyder will be out of the Reconversion Office before the winter is over.

SNYDER OF ST. LOUIS

The case of John Snyder is different Harry Truman and Snyder used to train together in the Missouri National Guard. know each other intimately But Tru- man, in this case, has inherited the old tenderness Of his late chief FDR. He hates to fire real friend
 On the other hand, at least three close White House advisers Charlie Ross, Sam ONeal and Bob Hannegan have so continually pounded home the fact that Snyder must go that Truman has asked them not to speak to him about it any more. Incidentally, the three St. Louisians point out that Snyder is not a real Missourian, but from ArkanSas)
 Regardless of personalities, how ever, Snyder has made error after error which vitally affects the eco homie life of the nation, and for which Truman gets the blame. Here is the scoreboard:
 1-Helped abolish the War Labor Board just at time when it was most needed Later Truman was put in the embarrassing position of begging the War Labor Board to continue. which they refused to do.
 2-Abolished the office of Eco- homie Stabilizer and fired it's di- rector, Will Davis, one of the ablest men in Washington. Later, Snyder had to reconstitute the office of Economic Stabilization, and brought in as director Judge John c. Col lett of Kansas City, whose chiei accomplishment has been to win the nickname "Snuffy Smith, after the Barney Google character Again Truman got the blame foI this, though secretly he has been

Navy personnel in the North Af- rican and European theatres.
 Reason for the directives was to prevent diaries on operations from falling into the hands of the enemy should their authors be taken prisoner.
 So now, other Naval officers want to know how and why Capt. Butcher was excepted from the directives and was permitted to cash in on his adventures when the rest of the Navy was forbidden to keep diaries. They say that there must have been a major slip-up if an officer with such an important job as Naval Aide to Eisenhower wasn't advised of the regulation
 (Note Butcher comes from Kansas, home of Gen. Gen. Eisen- hover, and was an official of the Columbia Broadcasting Company before he got his commission on Eisenhower's staff. Mrs. Butcher and Mrs. Eisenhower shared the same hotel apartment in Washing ton while their husbands were away)

Naval officers who in peacetime make a living with the pen are plenty riled over the series of articles, My Three Years With Eisenhower written by Capt. Harry c. Butcher, Naval Aide to Gen. IRS, and now being published in a national weekly.
 The series is compilation of diary notes made by Butcher during his day-to-day work as an insider in the top military com mand.
 What is burning up Butchers officer colleague is that the keeping of such diaries was strictly forbidden in at least two direct ives by the Navy Department to
