THE ARMY NURSE CORPS
For some time we have had in mind Davinir our comnli-
roents to the army nurse corps, a splendid service branch
: which is doing a tremendous job and which has been receiving
its chief recognition by indirection through official appeals
tor increase in personnel. Now we are glad that we did not
uempt to phrase comment which, at such long distance from
overseas operations, we realize, would have been rather a sad
understatement. We say this after reading a letter from a
Bend soldier who writes from somewhere on the western
nt. His letter is a personal one and we do not feel at
liberty to use his name. But the tribute which he pays is of
such quality that we want others to read it. We do not believe
;that he will criticize us for making this much of his letter
public. He says :
: " If any one should ask me what branch oi the service I
i respected most there Is no doubt that "the Army Nurse .
; corps" would bo my answer. I dare say that if people knew
V. what those girls do and knew how hard they Work a few of
i the strikers would have guilty consciences about squab
; bllng over hours and wages. The normal tour of duty at this
particular unit was 12 hours a day, seven days a week. An
.' ' 84 hour week would open a lot of people's eyes and make
; - them stop thinking that they were martyrs of the war.
Eighty-four hours was the required tour of duty and even
1 then the work wasn't done. They often stayed oh three or
four extra hours a day to make sure that some of the
. wounded didn't have to wait for attention.
5 It Is certainly not easy work and the spirit with which
these girls tackle the Job is almost unbelievable. Actually
enough praise can't be given to the hospital staffs, and If
; they do get it they claim that the wounded keep their morale
; up by the cheerfulness they show, despite the misfortunes
j that will be carried by many for the rest of their lives.
I. This unit has been overseas 19 months. They have served
; in Africa, Italy and France and have hopes of adding Ger
many and the Pacific to their battle ribbons before they re-
turn. They love their work and practically kill themselves
;. doing It. .
, ' More army nurses are needed, we have been told. The
paragraphs which we have printed from our soldier friend's
letter should make us understand why they are needed-
; When the Corvallis Gazette-Times declares editorially
;that "Wein" is the German name for Vienna, we are imme
diately reminded of the insistence with which certain food
handling establishments, encountered every now and then,

We went into the library and
sat through the gray hours of
the morning, smoking and wailing
for someone to put an end to our
uselessness.
It was the post man w ho started
lt all rolling again. Merely by
dropping the mail through Ihc
slot and ringing the hell. The
letter caught my eye at once. A j
long white envelope and written
across the face in clear, bold script
w.is Phineas Hudson's name with
the appendage Esquire added aSj
a kind of Ironic fillip. And In the'
lower left hand corner were two:
"That's Phineas Hudson's sig-
imiuic.
And his finger was resting on

"But it can't be," I said. "He's
dead.
Charley slit open the long en
velope. An insurance policy and a
note. Nothing mare. Charley
glanced at the note, read a line or
two, then stopped.
"This seems to be personal," he
said. "It's for Pat."
"Pat's asleep," I said. ''You'd
better read it all."
The letter was signed by Phi
neas Hudson a strangely mov
ing message to his daughter which
he had addressed to himself for
reasons that came clear in Ihc
note.
"Dear Pat,
So many times I've heard of
people who have forgotten to say
goodbye, and I've seen the heart
ache that this neglect has caused.
The occasion seems to have ar
rived for me to take my leave of
you. If I am wrong, I can inter
cept this letter myself and avoid
feeling incredibly foolish and sen
timental. If I am right -God bless
you, child, and from the bottom of
my heart I wish you all the happi
ness that the world cin hnlil fru
its own. '
Don't worry about me. If i'
greatly cared to live, I should not
be attempting what I have in
mind. The Insurance policy is one
T had forgotten. It's small enough
to help only a little, but not big
enough to hurt.
Remember, Pat, no false gods.
And no stickiness about your
'poor father,' who goes to a better
world and, thanks to a little lardy
vision, knows it.
With all my love,
Fa I her." ;
"And he could have told us so
much," said Charley as he folded
the note.
"It was against his policy," I
said. "What you're Ignorant of,
yon needn't lie about. Let me see
that nolo a .moment."
One sentence interested liie: "If
I greatly cared to live, I should
not be attempting what I have in
mind."
I read It aloud.
"What do you suppose he meant
by that, Charley?"
Charley shook his head.
"If I didn't know he was mur
dered, I should say suicide."
"I wonder if he really had the
diamonds?"
"If he dldi" Charley answered
darkly,' "I hope he took them with
him."
But he hadn't. And what we
had lived dangerously in the
fringes of was now dumped
squarely into our laps. I have
tried since, desperately but un
successfully, to erase the memory
of those next 48 hours. They
scarcely come under the head of
pleasant reminlscenses.

(NEA Staff Correepondent)
Washington, D. C. An increase
in the number of lawyers in Con
gress Is shown by an occupation
survey of the 96 Senators and
435 Representatives sitting on
Capitol Hill today. There were 60
lawyers in the Senate at the start
of the war in 1941, but there are
70 lawyers in the Senate of the
79th Congress today. There were
230 lawyers In the House four
years ago, 239 today.
This preponderance of legal
minds approximately 73 per cent
of the Senate and 53 per cent of
the House has been frequently
mentioned as one of the things
that's wrong with Congress. This
criticism raises the point that if
you want to hire somebody to
write you a law you'd look first
for a lawyer. Nevertheless the big
Idea of representative govern
ment is. that it is supposed to
pick a good cross section of the
population to do the governing
and Congress as it is now set up
gives only a good geographical
cross section, picking one Con
gressman for every 260,000 odd
souls. What would help, it is
claimed, would be to let Congress
have an advisory body which
would truly represent in better
proportion the occupations of the
people.
It's a nice idea to fool around
with,but a further examination
of the previous or side line oc
cupations of the present members
of Congress shows that it is about
as variogated a lot of jack-of-all
trades as you could ask for.
Even In the Senate, top-heavy
as it is with lawyers, a lot of them
list other Interests and occupa
tions on the side, such as hank
ing or farming. That makes oc
cupational classification a little
difficult, but picking them by their
principal avocations, the 26 non
lawyer Senators divide up as 10
