Wall St. Report
New York, Jan. 8 0J.B
Stocks declined irregularly to
day after four consecutive ses
sions of advance.
Prices reacted after the com
posite average had reached a fur
ther new high since early No
vember, 1941, but trading vol
ume expanded slightly over yes
terday's moderate pace.
There was little in the news
to influence stock prices and
brokers ascribed the irregular
decline largely to consolidation
of recent gains.
NAVY'S MEDICAL
CORPS HAS 01
By Charles P. Arnot
United Press Staff Correspondent
An Advance U. S. Base in the
South Pacific Delayed) (U.R)
With hammers and saws, they
build their own hospitals. With
scalpels and dressings, they treat
the wounded.
These are the U. S. navy's
"medical commandos" versa
tile men of mobile units who are
trained to go ashore while fight
ing is under way and establish
their own hospital facilities.
Beneath tropical palm trees at
this advance . base, the medical
'shock troops" have moved In !
and erected an ultra-modern clin
ic with complete facilities.
Two weeks ago the hospital
site was merely a vacant ex
panse along the seashore. Now
neat rows of gray buildings can
be seen among the trees. I want
ed to know the secret of this rec
ord achievement.
We are known as mobile
units because we really are mo
bile, even though our facilities
actually are not on wheels,"
Capt. A. L. Lindall, Medical
Corps, of Parker's Prairie, Minn.,
told me. "Our units are ready to
move, at a moment's notice, to
any place where the war brings
a need for our services."
Lindall, the executive officer
of this unit, showed me the
crates which a few days ago con
tained the unit's buildings,
trucks, ambulances, medical
equipment and other facilities.
"We use pre fabricated mate
rials for our buildings to save
time," he said. "Some of these
buildings here now were erected
in half a day. If we were pressed
for time, we would have many
of them erected and equipped in
a single day."
All these units need is a small
piece of land and running water
to set up hospitals better equip
ped than many civilian institu
tions of comparable size.
Finds Doctor on Ladder
I saw one doctor, a brain spe
cialist, climbing a ladder to put
the finishing touches on a build
ing that soon would house thou
sands of dollars worth of modern
X-ray equipment. Another vet
eran doctor was directing the
laying of tile in one of the two
large and completely-equipped
operating rooms.
In an elaborate laboratory, al
ready in operation, I found

A mSSILE THAT MISSED This Japanese torpedo, launched at American ship during battle ofl
Solomon Islands, wound up high and dry on beach at Guadalcanal after missing its mark. It's pic
tured where it came to rest, before "suicide" 0. S. Marine unit took it in charge, for disposal -
half-dozen medical corps men
with their eyes glued to micro
scopes.
"They are studying the mala
rial conditions here," Lindall ex
plained. "We must prevent dis
ease as well as treat the sick and
wounded."
Doctors and medical corps
men are manning this particular
unit. Their all-around training
has enabled them to erect their
own hospitals and install com
plicated electrical, refrigeration,
water and sanitation systems
with a minimum of outside as
sistance.
An officer of the navy civil en
gineering corps is in general
charge of construction, but the
doctors themselves supervise
much of the work, some of which
generally would require the serv
ices of skilled technicians.
Versatility is the basic require
ment for all medical officers. In
addition to being a general prac
titioner, each is a specialist in
a different kind of medicine or
surgery. The officer personnel
representing every needed skill.
includes specialists in orthopedic
surgery, preventative medicine,
dentistry, psychiatry, pathology.
dermathology.
thoracic surgery
and abdominal surgery.
The units are so trained that
some doctors and their aids will
care for the wounded while oth
ers unload and uncrate materials
and equipment. Like commandos,
these men are trained in team
work -and know how to work
fast and efficiently under any cir
cumstances.
Each unit is self-contained so
its doctors and pharmacists'
mates not only have to be skilled
in medical practice, but also must
be able to wield hammers, saws
and other building Implements.
Some are qualified electricians,
others serve as plumbers.
. Should the enemy strike while
work is in progress, officers and
men alike are trained to trade
their tools for steel helmets and
gas masks. Since officers and
men of the medical corps are re
stricted by international agree
ment to using weapons only to
defend themselves, each unit has
its complement of guards. These
seamen are highly trained in
commando fighting tactics, and
can use all types of weapons.
