Friday, October 27, 1950 RED CROSS CANTEEN COURSES It is hoped that the knowledge gained by the enrollees in the Red Cross canteen courses will never be needed here.

There are many who can do their bit in this manner themselves to be of soon toward equipping real value in | an emergency. time, E SURPLLU THOS EGGS The U. S. Government has 108,095.000 pounds of mu*l eggs stored in caves in Kansas and elsewhere, et 1,400,000 pounds of dried eggs bought from Com- munist China in a Seattle warehouse awaiting shipment to bakeries in the Eastérn United States! There are explanations, to be sure. The dried eggs in the caves in Kansas were bought up by the government at 96 cents and $1.26 a pound under the price support law — and commercial users find it cheaper to buy eggs from China and pay a duty of 17 ¢cents a pound. It's pretty much like the situation when housewives in some of our largest potato-pro- ducing centers were having to pay extra prices for shipped-in potatoes while their home-grown spuds "were consigned to cattle food, having been brought up by t‘m government under the price support program. sud1 things are hard to 'explain, and harder to justify. Without quarrling with the purpose of farm price stabilization, we insist that it is economic fool- hardiness—in fact, it borders upon the criminal— to waste vital assets in such a mannen The eggs in those Kansas caves cannot be kept forever—and while they have been deteriorating bit by bit, commercial users of dried eggs in the United States have imported three million pounds of the same commodity during the last seven months, most of it from Communist China. Of course, we are not at war with China and there presumably is reciprocal value in some trade with the Chinese. However, why should Amercan | dolars go into unfriendly hands for commodities that are going to waste here? There nfust'be a better w of doing things.

Battle-Experienced Doctors \e?dl'd‘ The Korean war has exposed a glaring weakness in the Army med- jcal service—namely, that tragically few of its doctors were trained for front-line hospital work. As a re- sult, wounded GI's suffered need- ! less agony, even death, on the Ko ean front because Army doctors| didn’t always know .how to set up< tents, improvise beds or stretchers, | and organize d operating rooms. { Most of the voung doctors, placed | 1 MROEpRAL UnTes; had never served outside big, mod- ern hospitals. They had little ex- perience under battle conditions, of- ten weren’t even taught the funda- mentals of field hospital work. ‘ Most people don’t know it, but the Army operates only one Small\ teld medical training center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, under the | command of a veteran field sur- geon, Maj. Gen. Joseph I. Martin. However, only a fraction of army doctors have been able to take this training. Even the surgeon-general, Mnj! Gen. Raymond W. Bliss, has nol background as a field surgeon but was selected on the basis of his record for operating large army hospitals. Like most of his prede- cessors, Bliss has had excellent hos- pital training but little experience mnear the front. Most military branches won't appoint a chief who hasn’t been a field commander, but not in the medical corps. Though battle-experienced doc- tors have pleaded for better field training, the armchair hospital brass have ignored their warnings. Meanwhile the doctors in Korea are saying privately: For God’s sake, give us a sur- geon-general who knows what the battlefield is, and we'll teach young doctors how and what to do in the field.” Brotherhood At Work Loyola University in Los Angeles canceled its scheduled footbail game with Texaxs Western at El PasolThe two had shotgun shells in their the other day because Loyola h:\d‘ a Negro halfback whom Texa Western would not allow to play When Stanley Meyers of Univer- sal Pictures congratulated Loyola fathers for their stand against race discrimination, one of them re- marked: “Unfortunately, it cost us $8,000. That was the guarantee we were to give Texas Western, and we felt morally bound to pay them when we canceled. We didn’t know where we're going to get the $8,000, but it was worth the money.” ‘Never mind, Father,” replied Meyers, “The Lord has ways to take care of those things.” So Meyers, giving the Lord an assist, went to Noah Dietrich, head of the Hughes Tool Company of Houston and the man whose tele- phone as well as that of Howard Hughes was tapped in Washington by Senator Brewster of Maine on behalf of Pan American Airways. “Noah,” said Meyers, “You recent- ly joined the church. Also you're from Texas, a state whose atli- tude on the cojor question has just ! cost Loyola $8,000. Meyers went on to suggest that Dieirieh make up the money which | Loyola Coliege had lost. Next day the Loyola Aners were surprised to receive a check for $8,000. | More On Dewey- -Hanley Here is more inside on the bit- | William Pfeiffer ! scour | have your neck out too early and i of administrative policy.
