Wounded BROUGHT Here

each member nation of this COL
lective defense is willing to exert
in building up the necessary Sc
curity forces.
The deterrent to war of our new
combination for collective defense
in the year 1850 is already begin
ming to take hold. The main thing
to remember, despite our planning
progress, is that we must have
actual cooperation of forces, not
just "blueprints."
Revealing Omissions
In our planning at the con-
ferences Of the Military Committee
and Standing Group of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization. the
rate of progress has been good.
From October to April-seven
months-we have made as much
progress in joint planning for
mutual security as would have
taken several years under con-
ditions as they existed prior to
World War II.
It should be evident to any
nation in the world that even the
smallest nation in our pact has
the full backing, protection and
support Of the combined forces
Of all IL nations. Some of our
member nations would be in a
more hazardous position today if
this were not so.
The questions Gen. Bradley de-
clined to discuss for publication
were revealing.
Asked how the proposed CO.
ordination Of the French and
German steel and coal industries
would fit into the picture, he re-
piled that this was an industrial
and economic question as we'll as
military. For that reason, he said,
it would be just as well If he did
not speculate about it. Nor would
he comment on the probable or
possible roles of Western Ger
many, Austria. Yugoslavia and
Spain in the Western European
defense. These questions, he
pointed out, involved high-level
political" issues that could be
settled only after long negotia-
tions by the highest civilian
officials Of many nations.
Gen. Bradley and his aides were
careful to emphasize that the
Mutual Assistance Program, even
II carried out under the most
favorable conditions. would not
guarantee absolute" security.
The most they could assure was
reasonable" security, built on a
broader and much more special
lied foundation than any before
created In the world. Secretary

Chess Notes
By Donold n. Muqridae

Defending Champion Hans Ber-
liner approached one step nearer
his goal by winning his game in
round 8 of the District Cham
pionship Tourney and thereby
bringing his score to I'll. His
victim was Frazier Miller, star of
the Paragon Club, who proved un-
able to ward off the aggressive
maneuvers of Washington's junior
master.
At his heels came Martin c.
Stark. champion of the Washing
ton Chess Divan, who by defeat
ing Nathan Robins reached 61a-
| l1a and retained the possibility
of overtaking Berliner in the final
round. Stark adopted Lasker's
Defence in the Queens Gambit
Declined and was for long on the

George S. Thomas moved into
third place a point behind Stark
by drawing his game with Capt.
Ben Schwartz. Thomas played in
luck, for Schwartz had a clearly

ponent q perpetual check.

Acheson's description of the COL
lective force concept "of great
and perhaps revolutionary sig
nificance did not quite express
their more precise idea. In their
view, it was more a logical and
intelligent adoption Of the re-
sources of the Western world to
the constant aggression of Soviet
Russia and its satellites than a
revolutionary or radical depar-
ture.
Throughout the interview, Gen.
Bradley indicated hope and op-
timism that the plan would event.
ually be fulfilled. He declined to
speculate on the year of substan-
tial completion.
His optimism, he said, was based
on the rapid progress made in
this country and abroad during
the past six months.
THE enthusiasm shown at The
Hague Conference this spring"
he said. was in sharp contrast
with the feeling last fall. The
past six months has brought out
a desire from everybody to get
behind the plan. The great ques-
ton at The Hague was: How can
we get started at once?"
New Flag for Chief
Although the, general was OBJ
yiously working on a tight sched-
ule the day of the interview. with
every minute Of his time budget
ed, he was relaxed and unhurried.
He rose from his large. cleared
desk to call attention to his new
flag for the chairman OF the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. which stood be-
hind his desk to balance the rich
silk American flag. 1t is diagonally
divided between white and light
blue with the National Defense
eagle emblem in the center. The
eagle has three arrows in it's claw,
symbolic of the Army, Navy and
Air Force.
On the wall behind his desk
we're an inscribed photograph of
President Truman and his COM
mission as the chairman of the
jos. the highest military rank
in the country yet carrying no
command powers. Because it is
the first Of its kind ever issued,
Gen. Bradley intends to give 1t
to the National Archives.
On the side walls were only two
pictures. One was an oil painting

Pacific island.
The other was a stark picture

sands of wearers Of the blue and

During the War Between the
States the records indicate that
Washington saw more real suffer-
ing than did any other city in
the Union. Being the Capital Of
the Nation. and being so close TO
so many of the Civil War battle
fields. thousands of wounded SOL
diers were brought here for treat
ment. necessitating the placing
and erecting of many hospitals in
and around this city.
There were no hospitals in this
city for the soldiers Of the Span
ish-American War. and only one,
Mount Alto. was erected because
Of the World War, so far as the
writer recalls.
The Army Medical Center
where is the Walter Reed General
Hospital. was greatly enlarged
during the late war. but it had
been established as far back as
1905. The same may be said Of
st. Elizabeths, where the capacity
was doubled on account of the
additional patients needing treat
ment. subsequent to our entrance
onto the war with Germany. How
ever. this. too. is very old hos
pital, and has been in use for
many years even prior to the two
late wars.
Armory Squore
During the Civil War. however
many hospitals were erected here.
in addition to the number OF
schoolhouses, churches. halls, pub
lie buildings and other places
which were taken and used for
hospital purposes. But even with
these, there were few times when
the accommodations for the i'll
and wounded soldiers were equal
to the enormous demand.
Armory Square Hospital covered
nearly all of that part Of the Mall
from Sixth to Seventh streets and
from B street north to B street
south.

Much of De|icocy in Modonoo Butterfly

By Alice Eversmon

The advisability of grand opera
being presented in translation fol
an American audience Is stressed
again with the appearance of the
San Carlo Co. at the Watergate
this week. The operas will be
sung in Italian with the exception
of Faust" and Carmen" which
will be given in French. No opera
exemplifies this need more than
Puccini's "Madama Butterfly
with which the season opens on
Thursday night. Whatever the
exact wording Of Belasco's drama
Of Madame Butterfly" which
saved an otherwise disastrous
theatrical season, the Nbretto
fashioned for Puccini by Illica
and Giacosa has all the elements
TO bring out the many delicate
facets Of the heroine's character.
Much Of this is lost on the aver
age operagoer and even reading
the libretto does not help greatly
as the action passes so swiftly.
Puccini and his librettists were
concerned chiefly with the Italian
public. They know that the deli
'cacy Of effect would not be lost
