| much that representatives of the Ministry of Healt] "saxd that they had not seen anything greater in ome inight's raids. Nevertheless nine days afterward the ! Union Jack was hoisted to announce the reopening !of the hospital for outpatients and special depart- ments, including the blood donor section. The chapel and pathologic department were totally de- stroyed. The north wing was so damaged that it will have to be demolished and the upper portion of the south wing was gutted by fire. The main build ing is without windows and, with fallen ceilings and cracked beams, is usable only under conditions of great discomfort. But though there were 82 pa- tients and 76 staff in the hospital at the time of wie damage no lives were lost and no one was seri- ously injured. The pathologic laboratories and mu- seum were reduced to a hehp of rubble, burying many thousand dollars’ worth of appdratus and ir- replaceable records. Five nurses were trapped in the wrecked part, but on release they immediately assisted in the care and evacuation of patients. Turning from London to the provinces, in the last air attack on Coventry a hospital was bombed and a physician, three sisters, two nurses and sev- |eral patients were killed, When one of the bombs fell a nurse was sheltering beneath a bed with a | patient. Both fell through the floor and had a lucky escape. The nurse immediately went to help other patients, though her hands were bleeding and i her clothes were torn to shreds. Other nurses were | injured, but the matron said that within a few min- utes all were carrying on their duties. | Such is the heroism which is being displayed every day in the hospitals of England. Through | Bundles for Britain we have an opportunity to help | these brave people carry on, Let's not fail to do the little we can.

DEFENSE RAIL BOSS OPM chiefs aren’t admitting it, but they want the President to re- ‘place Ralph Budd, Burlington Rail- roda executive, as Defense Rail Di-| rector. .is Joseph B. Eastman ,veteran chair- man of the Interstate Commerce Commission and one of the great- est transportation experts in the country. Budd has been under fire in De- fense circles because of alleged fail- ure to get the railroads to under- take a big freight car and locomo- tive program last year, when steel was plentiful. However, rail men vigorously contend that Budd has done a good job of coordinating, de- ny there will be a car shortage this year. Indirectly they admit there may be one next year, by saying that what happens depends on whether they can get deliveries on the thou- sands of new cars they have or- dered. This year’s freight require- ments are estimated at 45,000,000 ©Cars, next year at 48,000,000, and 1934, 50,000,000 cars. Eastman and the President are old friends. In the early years of the New Deal, when railroad con- solidation was much in Number 1 choice as his successor | the air, show window representative of the | Vichy government. Real Vichy am- bassador is a so-called “exile” whose {name never appears in the head- | lines. He is Camille Chautemps, who ar- rived in the U. S. with a young wife | and new baby last summer after the fall of France. M. Chautemps im- |plied that he was a refugee, took up residence in a fashionable New York hotel frequented by well-to-| do foreigners, and last winter mov- ed quietly to an expensive apart-, ment house in Washington. Since then, apparently amply financed but assiduously shunning the lime- light, he has opgrated softly behind the scenes as the mouthpiece of the Vichy regime. M. Chautemps’ background for | this role is interesting. He was twice Premier of France, and Vice Pre- ‘mier under three Premiers—Blum, | the Socialist, Daladier, the conserva- ! tive, and Reynaud, who assayed the role of a Winston Churchill but did not have what it took. Also, Chautemps is a good friend {of Marshal Petain, Admiral Dar-, Jlan. Pierre Laval, and General Wey- | gand. i mystery in Washington is where Chautemps gets his U. S. currency on which to operate. Un- der the recent presidential “freez- ing” order, the funds of all French |aliens were blocked and withdraw- als can be made only with "State and Treasury department approval! I.OST DAYLIGHT SAVING days ago the Federal Pow- er Cununission, backed by OPM Di- rectors Knudsen and Hillman, call- ed by this simple measure. Britain and Germany have had it in opera- tion continuously since the start of the war. But in the good old “business as| usual” U.S.A. the move is still only randum gathering dust somewhere in a Defense pigeonhole. Sooner or later a master mind will suddenly come to life and do something about it. Meanwhile, with the power |shortage, increasing, thousands of kilowatts are being consumed need- lessly.

Like the Drys, the Civil Service lobby operates supposedly for the best interests of good government. Basically, howeveg, its motives are ‘{entirely selfish. It is out to protect government workers, no matter how inefficient ‘they may be. And de- spite the highly successful, svn- thetic build-up which civil service has received throughout the coun- try, anyone around Washington who is honest will teil you rthat -civil service is one great reason for:gov- ernment inefficiency and for the lagging defense program. The case of the Farm, Security employees is a rare instance- where both Democrats and Republicans united to kill some political boodle. Even Representative Taber of New_York, violent critic of, the, New Deal, voted for the Democratic amendment which will prev'ent. Farm Security employees from being blanketed into civil service auto- | matically, regardless of their mer- i""' His reason was that this would have cost the Government $10,000,- 1000 extra, giving increased salar- ies to top executives, but forcing the discharge of lesser employees because there isn't $10,000,000 extra in the budget. Democrats who voted with Repub- lican Taber did so because .they knew that many Farm Security ex- | ecutives, especially in the North- ‘wesf, instead of helping the farm- er, were bankers and small town have been diametrically opposed to the farmer’s.
