Some Soldiers
Wound Self To
Be Sent Home
BY ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON, R-In the Ko-
rean War, as in all others, there
are some soldiers who deliberately
wound themselves to get out of
battle or, out of the Army.
But the Army believes, although
it can't prove it one way or the
other, that the number in this war
is comparatively small.
In response to questions, the pro
vost marshal generals office today
made spot check of records of
the Far East Command from the
period July /, 1851, to June 80,
1852. The office said that showed
only seven cases which were es-
tablished definitely as self-inflicted
wounding.
However, other Army officers
with long experience in such mat
terS point out that it is difficult
to detect and prove an actual case
of Self-inflicted wound. Almost the
whole burden of evidence rests on
the surgeons in the field who treat
wounded men and on checks made
at the scene by investigators.
And they must rely primarily or
the type of the wound (including
whether suspicious powder burns
from close firing of weapon and
the location of the wound) and on
testimony of the man and his COM
rades to show conclusively the act
was intentional.
But if case can be proved, the
going is rough for the soldier who
tries it.
He is guilty Of violating Article
us of the Universal Code Of Mill
tary Justice, dealing with mailing
ering and the avoidance of duty.
There is a maximum sentence of
seven years hard labor and dis
honorable discharge possible-and
in time of war the maximum pro-
vision may be suspended and eyel
heavier sentence Sr7sssej
II investigations show the man
was 0f sound mind at the time he
deliberately wounded himself, he
receives no disability payments
upon discharge.
Self-wounding is an act OF utmost
desperation usually arising out of
fear Of battle which the soldier
hasn't yet experienced.
Old timers of the Army say they
have noticed the majority of cases
are among men who have not yet
seen much action. The soldier who
goes through his first engagement
and finds that he and most Of the
men in his outfit are alive and
unhurt, has passed his most des.
perate anxiety and fear.
There is one feature of the Ko.
rean War which may help to ex-
plain the apparent low incidence oi
self-inflicted wound cases.
In World War II there was nc

Key West was the first
American port of call for
the 48-foot ketch "Miru"
which has attracted inter-
national attention on its ad-
venturous voyage from Well
lington, New Zealand en-
route to Boston.
The crew of the trim ves-
sci, which is said to have
made the first recorded
crossing of the treacherous
South Pacific during the
winter months, related a
narrowing tale of adven-
ture that began some 'nine-
ty days ago when they be-
gan the 10000 mile sea
trip - a kind of Kon Tiki
in reverse.
Doctor T. r. A. Davis, of
Wellington is in command
of the craft which is manned
by his wife, yachtsman Neil
Arrow and w. r. Donovan.
The Davis sons, ten year old
Timothy and five year old
John also made the trip.
Doctor Davis, whose hobby is
Polynesian anthropology, is a trop-
ical medicine specialist and when
he received a Harvard fellowship in
Public Health medicine, he decid
ed TO make the trip by boat. The
trip also served to put to use some
Of his theories on early Polynesiani
history. which differ greatly with
those propouided by the crew Of
the Kon Tiki which made yoy-
age in a raft from Peru TO Poly
nesia In an effort to prove that the
Polynesian island nations were
born in South America when Pc.
ruvian fishermen drifted on ocean
currents to the South Pacific. Davis
contends that it was the other way
around that in early times. the
PolyneSians journeyed 10 South
America and then returned, taking
with them remnants Of the Peru
vian culture,
''Fisher.folk don't carry culture,
Davis said this morning. they
might bring new fishing techniques,
but nothing much else. The Poly

Summer is a healthful time of
year for three reasons. In the
first place, we get outdoors more
often. Second, we have a greater
variety of those vitamin and
mineral-rich fresh fruits and
vegetables. Then, too, most of us
let down some during the hot sea-
son. We drop many activities,
clubs close for the summer, and
we feel tension and hurry de-
|creaSing.
We certainly should use this
time of year as a time to take it
easy. It makes us feel in tune
with nature to walk around bare
footed in the grass. We should
lie in the sun and indulge in q
few dreams. There is nothing
like outdoors, the sun, the water,
and the breeze whispering lazily
in the trees. for helping us relax.
Take advantage of it.
However. just because you have
dropped many activities and need
some big doses of this kind of liv-
ing, don't 60 haywire and find
yourself at the end of the sum-
mer with overweight and bulges.
outdoor exercise is wonderfully
healthful. In between the lazy
times, swim or fish or golf or play
tennis or badminton, bicycle, or
just walk in the cool early morn
ing or late evening. Make out
door exercise a part of every day
during this vacation-spirited time
of year.
Also take advantage of the
many different fruits and vege-

tables in the stores. You have
a wonderful opportunity to build
up your vitamin consumption in
the most pleasant way. Eat a
variety Of these food items. AS a
health and figure routine you can
60 low on the carbohydrates
(starches and sugars) and also on
fats and rich foods. You do not
need so many of them.
Have lots Of summer green SAL
ads, fresh fruit cups and drink
more fruit juices than usual. Use
skim milk or buttermilk and for
get fried foods as a habit and
heavy gravies and dressings. If
you will do this and exercise out

you will experience big pickup

Feature Soup-Sondwich Meals for Summer
BY Violet FouIkner

Planning lunches is a bigger
job now that vacation days are
here. A hungry tribe of young
Isters, and sometimes father him
self; troop in for a MONDAY meal.
Menus featuring soups and
sandwiches are quick to prepare.
thrifty and nourishing. All you
have to do is put luscious-looking
sandwich next to a tempting bowl
of soup and wait for wilted ap-
petites to perk up.
Soup-sandwich meals are easy
on the cook too. She has so many
good canned soups to choose from
to give unlimited variety to the
menus. A basic soup can be
changed by adding a new garnish.
For example, try any dry cereal
that comes in interesting shapes.
Cut frankfurters into thin slices,
brown in bacon fat and float on
green pea, bean or cream Of celery
soup. If you have to coax small
appetites. cut animal shapes out
of bread with cookie cutter. Butter
and toast to golden brown under
the broiler. Sail atop their soup.
A thin silver of lemon accents
clam chowder or jellied consomme.
Chopped parsley. chives, grated
cheese or sour cream busted with
nutmeg are more garnishes to
keep in mind.
Chilled soups play a leading
part in your design for summer
eating, too. Here are some COM
binations of soups that you might
like to try: Condensed cream Of
chicken and mushroom. plus two
soup cans of water; cream of
cleery and tomato, plus 11z cans
milk; cream of chicken, plus a
dash of curry and one can of
milk. Allow plenty of time to
chill thoroughly. After awhile
you'll invent combinations of your
own. It's like playing with herbs,
there's practically no end to the
discoveries you'll be making.
Then when 1t comes to sand
wiches you can find a dozen or so
that just suit the soup you've
chosen. To start you of on a
summer of simple meal planning
we suggest:
Cream Of mushroom soup (gar-
nish with sliced stuffed olives,
grated cheese or whole-kernel
cornD. Serve with de luxe club
sandwich of sliced chicken, cram
berry sauce and cream cheese on
toast. Or have bacon and pea
nut butter sandwiches.
Tomato soup (garnish with a
bright wedge of lemon or a shake
of grated Parmesan cheese) Make
sandwiches of crumbly ham-cel-
cry salad on whole wheat bread.
Or try cottage cheese with
chopped nuts and lettuce on rye.
Chicken with rice soup (earnish
with toasted slivered almonds or
minced green pepper). Have
sandwiches of sliced egg and let
tuce on poppy seed rolls. Or
team with bacon tomato sand
wicheS.
Clam chowder (garnish with
twist Of lemon slice or paper-thin
circles of carrot). Have grilled
cheese sandwiches or cheese
shells sprinkled with poppy seed.

herself in her one bedroom apart
ment in Mclean Gardens, at 3470
seth street NV, before her sons
returned from abroad. First. one
came from Korea, and a bed
which becomes q couch by day,
was added for him. When the
second son returned from India
a second bed, by day a. decorative
cupboard at one end Of the dining
area, was built in.
Comfort came first In botf
cases. The drop down. cupboard
bed, which takes up only ten
inches Of space in width when
closed up, has a hospital size foam
rubber mattress. It's necessary
only to move the lamp at night
