Two circumstances today have called to mind a little city in Maryland, one I know we'll Ii is a venerable city, so old, in fact that it was seriously considered as the capitol of the United States before the present site was chosen. The consideration was dropped, because the people of this little village did not want to be bothered by "Wrangling politicians.
 Situated on a natural harbor in the mouth of broad river, just off Chesapeake Bay with anchorage for ocean going ships, it could have been the chief port instead of that honor going to Baltimore town Today, and for many generations, the only craft to be seen are the small pleasure craft that abound along the near by shores,
 Remnants of the first colon ists in Maryland still hug their memories of RochambeauX and his officers, when they quartered on those shores as part of Lafay- cites forces. Wrapped in the snug antiquity, and superiority as the Founders of this little city, they continue to turn a cold shoulder to the activities of the little city which has built up around them in spite of all opposition.
 There is a Chamber of Com merce. one of the oldest organ ized groups of it's kind in the country
 There are three types of citi- zens in this little city. The old f a miles (the founders), the younger generation and new c o m CTS who are struggling against great odds to create modern city, and the boomers, who have moved in to live tenn

FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY FOR ARMY NURSE CORPS

Headquarters, United States Army, Alaska. - Through three wars and the intervening years of peace, servicemen have been nursed back to health by mem bers of the Army Nurse Corps.
 On February 2, 1851, the Army Nurse Corps will cele- brate its fiftieth birthday. It is the oldest of all the women s military services, with tradi- ton of distinguished service to military sick and wounded and to the families of military per sonnel
 Army nurses were the first American women to be dispatch ed with the Armed Forces to Korea a unit of nurses arriving there during the first week in July. Now over 300 are in SUD- port of troops in the combat zone. The Surgeon General of the Army reports that their work has been magnltlcent, that without their fearless assistance the high rate of recovery of combat casualties would be inn possible.
 Tribute also comes from the Chief Surgeon of the Far East Command:
 "The members of the Army Nurse Corps have all distin- guished themselves by their de votion to duty, their utter dis regard of working hours, and their willingness to do anything that needs to be done at any time. They have displayed cour age, stamina, and determination. They have completed every task with which they have been con-

 Army nurses are indispens- able members of the medical team. Today, with military ex- pansion under way, they are more important than ever-for the men who defend American security must be assured that doctors and nurses stand ready with professional skill, when needed.
 At the present, more than ever before, there is an urgent need for more registered nurses With the coming Golden Anni- versary of the Army Nurse Corps, the Army will attempt to seek 5000 graduate profes- sional nurses for military serv- ice during the first six months of this year.
 All graduate nurses who are interested in a commission in the Army Nurse Corps may get further particulars by contact ing the Army Surgeons Office located at Fort Richardson, Aaa.

The similarity makes DIP an
important laboratory tool for med

fects of nerve gases.
The Chemical Corps gave this
summary Of DR.. Himwich's clinical
findings about the use of atropine
against DIP:
1t must be administered quickly
and in good amount. Even then,
the symptoms may return. More
atropine can be administered. 1t
should not be used where the VIC
tim has stopped breathing be-
cause of the possibility of heart
failure. =
In these cases, the first thing to
use'is artificial respiration. When
the patient starts breathing again
and his color returns, then
atropine can be used without dam
age to the heart.
Tridione, another drug, and
small doses of barbituates also may
be used to alleviate the con-

tanks and gravel roads.
There was constant chatter of
small arms fire from the hills,
short bursts from machine guns
and the thump, thump. thump of
mortars. Occasionally one of the
Sherman tanks would cut loose
with its Is, rolling echoes up the
valley.
Units Are Outfianked.
Tnen came the order to with
draw. It was an unhurried with
dTawal. but a necessary one. The
Chinese, pouring through the thin
defenses. were outflanking the
units from the high ridges to the
West,
On the snowy ridges you could
see figures running. Were they
GIs or Chinese? Nobody knew,
so the tanks and mortors held
their fire.
Then began the fallback.
We'll be out of this place in

naissance officer said. 1.-THE Chinks

The center of Seoul was lit
orally deserted. The Chosen hotel,
headquarters for U. N. committees
and the press was completely
empty. A ticking clock made the
only noise there. Many of the
bigger buildings spared in last
falls fight were burned and
ravaged by new fires.
On the south road, the patient,
suffering civilian refugees con-
tinued their instructive flight
south-useless at this eleventh
hour.
Shocked Into Demonstrations.
Usually the refugees live in a
separate social world of their own,
but today the hot pursuit of the
Chinese shocked them into emo
tional demonstrations. A gray
haired patriarch surrounded by
several women and children stop
ped a jeep and asked where they
could go.
No one could tell him.
Many children, little rice" he
said. Road bad. Will Chinese
kill us?"
No one could answer that ques-
ton either.
He decided to stay, probably a
wise choice since the Chinese
would have caught up with his
family even on the road.
AS the jeep pulled away he
smiled and waved.

Farther on young woman ran
toward the jeep with her arms
outstretched in pleading. She had
placed her baby in the roadway.
She spoke no English. but her
tears and tortured face told you
she wanted aid in her flight from
Seoul. There was nothing for
her on the road ahead. It was
better for her to stay, and the
jeep passed on.
Few minutes later the explo-
sions tore the bridges apart while
refugees still headed towards
them across the heights.
Seoul was left to her fate.

NEAR SEOUL, Jan. 5.-The
Chinese Reds marched into Seoul
on the Kaesong road at 10:45 am
Yesterday (8:45 pm. Wednesday
EST. United States Army intelli-
gence said the North Korean flag
was raised once more on the city
hall at pm.
The last United Nations forces
to leave the desolate city were two
American infantry outfits, recon-
naissance company and a line of
rifemen, assisted by "a tanks, all
belonging to the United States
25th Division.
Earlier, British brigade fought
the major rear guard action in
front of the city.

G. l.. Nelson of Marlborough
Scotland, member of the Argyle
and Sutherland Highlanders.
The last Allied troops and the
American tanks crossed the pom
toon bridge over the Han River
shortly before 2 pm.
Last Bridge Blown.
At one minute past the hour,
TINT and Bangalore torpedoes
ripped the bridge apart with a
blast that shook the city. Army
engineers already had blown the
only other bridge over the Han,
a single-track railway span
planked for trucks. The river
was no real barrier, however, for
it was frozen a foot thick and
would support a jeep.
At $50 am. 1t. Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway, commanding the
United Nations forces in Korea
made a quick visit to the pontoon
bridge. He strode briskly down
| to the steel roadway and back
again.
He turned to a news photog-
rapher and said with extraordi-
nary intensity, 81 hope you get
all this scene. The pathos of
this retreat ought to wake up the

After the bridge explosion, the

ing on the Kaesong road was like
something in technicolor.
Road Penetrates Defile.
The road climbed through a
narrow defile between two cliffs
just outside of Seoul to the north
west. At the crest of the pass a
half dozen American tanks, sup
porting the infantry on the road
and on the hills above, fought a
long-range fire fight with ad-
vance Chinese patrols.
Overhead F-80 jets wheeled and
dived in strafing attacks. They
came up the road from behind
over the heads of the GIs, and
suddenly cut loose with their ma
chine guns.
The bullets tore into Chinese
lines, and the empty cartridges

buildup will focus on 10 to 26,
with some deferments and ex-
emptions in that bracket being
cut. He indicated the Pentagon
probably will not move in i'm
mediately on the 2.9 million
World War II veterans who are
still below the 26-year draft age
limit.
While Mr.. Larkin did not COM
ment on the status of men with
dependents. Congress is likely to
move in on this group.
Mr.. Larkin also said the pro-
gram will not call for any defer
ment of college students. He
pointed out. however. that selec-
tive service and other agencies
will have a chance to bring up
this question on Capitol Hill.
The length of draft service. he
said, will depend on how many
men can be furnished by tight
ening the present law. He esti-
mated that by extending the serv-
ice time to 81 months, the result
would be to get the equivalent of
Us per cent more men.
Few Deferments Seen.
The 18-year-old draft would be
on a substantially universal
basis" with few deferments open
to the youths. Seventeen-year old
high school graduates might be
taken with their parents con-
sent, the official added. and he
thought it not likely that 19-year-
olds could stay out of uniform,
even if they remained in high
school.
The 18-year-olds would serve
the same length of time as. other
draftees.
AS envisioned by the Pentagon,
however, they first would undergo
special training. perhaps of six
months in the United States be-
fore going into regular service.
At some future date only training
no service-might be given.
About IL million youths reach
the age of 18 each year.
Use of the draft by all the serv-
ices would not mean an end to
the voluntary enlistment pro-
gram, Mr.. Larkin asserted.
There is a strong disposition
to permit services to maintain
voluntary enlistment, because that
is the source of their career reg
ulars," he declared.
Others Not Using Draft.
The other services have stead
fastly said they do not need the
draft. The Army, however, has
been anxious that the supply of
draft recruits be spread among all.
At the same time, the Pentagon
today sent to Capitol Hill 26
routine" bills which Mr.. Larkin
said represented about half of
the departments normal legisla-
tive program for the first session
of the new Congress. The items
