The World Today
Bv Col. Frederick Palmer

the lives OF men who fought for Their
country.
Close to 10000 veterans, larger num-
ber than the total of either army at
the Battle of Gettysburg in the Civil
War, are under treatment or care and
the peak is not reached yet. Nor are
there sufficient beds for them, at pres
ent, in military and civil hospitals.
Owing to returns to civil life there
was a pressure of vacancies to be filled
in the VA for more than 1000 both of
doctors and nurses and 100 dentists
More pay awaited them in civil life than
in the services. Hawley wanted to en-
ploy them at more attractive pay under
rules set up by Bradley.
-
That is Hawley wanted the veterans
whom the war left hospitalized as the
extended cost of their war service to
have the same care they had when
hospitalized in the war. He wanted,
too, the same top specialists in their
service as in the war-the kind to whom
the family doctor refers patient in an
emergency The highest pay one of
these can receive Is $l1 900 year when
at the peak of his career as top spe-
cialist he would receive easily twice
that amount Beyond this, many top
experts who are back in civil life will
make no charge for consultation in an
swer to call
When all the Government depart
ments and branches-new and old-in
Washington are putting in their budget
requests, no expense seems more war
rantable than this one. 1t means not
alone the saving of lives. 1t means that
competent mental and physical therapy
will enable young men to return to use
full places in civilian life instead of be-
coming chronic cases in misery and de-
pendence as happened after World War
I when there was no department of
medicine and surgery in the Veterans

course, will not interfere with the
process of organizing the Breton
Woods institutions, and If the aloof-
ness ends in reasonable time, prob
ably no harm whatever will have
been done by it. Meanwhile, though
and the same holds true for the
Food and Agricultural Organization
the participating United Nations
will have grounds for anxiety, real
izing that the longer the Russians
withhold their cooperation in these
fields, the harder it will be to be
optimistic about their cooperation
in general.

DR.. HaWley, as he likes to be called, is
one man in the Nations Capital who is
supremely happy The Presidents sig
nature to H. r. Bill Ait has given
him the green light. The man most
fitted for a most vital job has the
authority and the means to go ahead
with his plan Not to have given him
what he wanted would have been both
inhumane and poor economy.
Oficially, DR.. Hawley is Maj. Gen.
Paul R. Hawley of the Army Medical
Corps. I saw him, when the battle
was hot, at his task as the surgeon
general under Eisenhower directing the
organization which cared for the
wounded and sick. He had no brass
hat complex about the Importance OF
his rank as a regular His was fell
lowship, with members of his profess
sion from civil life, in saving lives
and In evacuation of wounded to base
hospitals. He fought for power for
them and the nurses to do their noble
work.
When Gen. Omar N Bradley was
made head of the Veterans Admins
tration he called for Hawley to serve
with him, because the first duty of
the VA Is the care of the wars after
math of men who have wounds or sick
nesses which send them to hospitals
instead of home.
H. r. AIT was a bill to establish a
department OF medicine and surgery in
the VA which had the strong backing
of Gen. Bradley. But the civil service
chiefs objected to one of its provisions.
They said this broke civil service rules
in granting Hawley the power to en-
ploy professional assistants without
civil service examinations.
Civil service rules, however, were
waived for personnel in the war emer-
gency Bradley and Hawley wanted
them waived in an emergency to save

they built up during the post-Bismarck
years.
Certainly it should be obvious that
our discussions about Germany-insofar
as it is within the province of the
United States to make such decisions
should be made without bias, solely in
the national interest and in the interest
of world security. No special or private
considerations should enter into it..
Hence it is of the first Importance to
make sure that no persons whose pri-
vate interests may be involved in Ger
man industrial recovery, and no per-
sons with special prejudices or warped
viewpoints, should be permitted to par
ticipate in the formulation of such a
policy, or have any responsible post in
connection with carrying it out.

1t is cheering to know that the mas
ter file of the Nazi party, containing
the lists of all party mem3ers both
in Germany and other countries, as
well as those of sympathizers and fellow
travellers, is now in the hands of the
American military administration in
Germany. The file is an enormous one
and will require a considerable amount
to make it useful But no time should
be lost in getting this work done and
as was, suggested to Gen. Joseph T.
McNarney, this work (shoul0 be done
in a goldfish bowl, so to speak, so that
all who have legitimate reason to see
the file in process of being catalogued
shall have permission to do So"
AS soon as possible, full lists of Amer
ican citizens or other residents of the
United States whose names are on that
list should be published in this coun-
try, together with the names of any
non-American Nazis who may turn out
to be directors or stockholders in Ameri-
can corporations.
The excuse of military security is no
longer valid in this competition. But
the security of the United States against
enemies from without and from within
is still of vital consequence to every
American-and in this matter the ma
tional security can best be served by
pitiless publicity.

Letters to The Star
Tells How to Keep Able Men
in Government Service
To the Editor of The Star:

IN Government SerV1ce
To the Editor of The Star:
Three years ago my husband, along
with every one else's husband, went
into the Army. He was an able busi-
nessman and, though over the age
limit for the draft, felt that his ex-
perience could be helpful perhaps to
Uncle Sam. 1t evidently could, so
he left good job in the upper-bracket
salary for lieutenant colonel's berth
in the A. u S.
1t was thrilling experience for him.
He was useful to his country when
his country needed useful men, and
his job, in a small way, was construc-
tive to winning the war. His family.
four children and wife, were having
good experience, too. We took the
bad with the good and enjoyed it. We
moved to a much smaller house, let
the maid 60 and took on our share of
war work, which, for the most part
was cooking, cleaning and keeping a
home happy during the dark war years.
Because we were much more fortunate
than others, the only major hardship
during this time was the financial set
back, but there was a war on" and
war is over and presumably the emer-
gency is finished. But is it finished?
Is it ever finished for the able men
who are filling the big jobs in the
Government?
My husbands job at home at the
same old salary is waiting for him.
If we 60 back, the children can go
back to good schools and a lot of the
nice things of this world, which we
used to think necessities, can be ours
again. But evidently there's still a
job to be done in Washington. Again
my husbands peculiar specially is
needed. An important, interesting job
needs to be filled in the Government.
He has been pied with and begged to
stay "at least one more year" and take
it. 1t is job for policy maker of
peace. 1t Is job for uniter of
foreign relations. 1t is good Job.
Probably, he should take it. But can
he afford to take it now that the war
is over? To do so means to continue
to struggle along under financial pres
sure. The children need good educa-
ton. The doctors expenses will not
be gratis any more. And the taxes
whew!
Would the job be fun? Of course.
Stimulating? Very. A patriotic duty?
Perhaps. And grave financial prob
lem? I'm afraid so.
So here's the situation: If the Gov
ernment wants the intelligent, expert
thinking that has planned and carried
out victory, then it should have the
intelligent, expert men in the key Jobs
of the Government to plan and carry
out peace. They have made many
sacrifices during the war gladly and, I
believe, would be only too proud to
be able to continue those sacrifices
now. But they may not and certainly
will not do it unless they get paid
more in proportion to the salaries that
they could get at home in their old
jobs.
These men have been worth a lot
to Uncle Sam during the past three
years. Are they not equally so now?
Well, if they are, the Government
needs them. And if it needs them, it
should pay them. And if it pays them
it will continue to have good men
Washington is full of good men. Let's
keep the best of them, there. B.. R.

essential gas production.
This is all part of the great labor
mystery Though 10000 men are being
demobilized every day, the labor short
age in every category seems much more
acute than it ever did during the war.
It is as though the country, after five
months of peace, were running down
instead of being wound up. The gas
fiasco is only one example-but what
an ominous example it is! The public
utilities, still bound by the essential
work orders, are already largely under
state control. What are we to expect
when they are completely owned and
managed by the Socialist government?

Another Training Critic
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
The new session of Congress will
enact some sort of military training pro-
gram AS one who opposes, tooth and
nail, the impressment of minor children
in peace or war except in direst neces-
sity, the writer is at the same. time
equally ardent for adequate defense
measures. Snatching of boys not yet
dry behind the ears is scarcely real
defense measure. 1t would be more to
the point to provide for re-organi-
zation of procedures at the high COM
mand level in War and Navy Depart
ments and to prevent congregation of
deadwood at critical spots there.

back the losses. This time it has
lost enormously more, so that its i'm
pulse to try aggression once more
in another twenty or thirty years
must be proportionately far greater.
Won Blomberg's affidavit makes So
bering reading. Unintentionally i'm
piled in it is the warning that the
Allied world, for its own safety, must
never again let its guard down
against the German power potential.
