Frederick A Blesse, chief surgeon In the northern African theater, said the tornado struck one surgical tent at the crucial stage of an operation on a man with a wounded leg. Patient Saved "The tent was whiDDed about and the canvas ripped wide open," he said. "A quick-witted surgeon had just enough .time to whisk his patient under the operating table when the tent collapsed." The soldier. sleeDlnz under anesthesia, didn't know whnt happened. The operation, com pleted in another tent, was suc cessful. - Blesse said the natients were moved in the-middle of the night to barns and a tobacco ware house by physicians, nurses and enlisted men who' worked under shaded blackout lights. One man was lost a German who was .dying when . the tornado struck. 'When dawn came, we saw a pitiful sight," Col. Rollin L. Bauchspies of Mauch Chunk. Pa., said. He directed the re moval' of the patients. Mass of Wreckage "A mass of torn roDes." tents and equipment was all that re mained of our hospital, which was set up with extreme diffi culty," he said. Other hospitals came to their aid and not a patient suffered, however. Blesse said high explosive shells were causing most casual ties in Italy. There are no signs of a plague In Naples although some malaria, dysentry, respira tory diseases and sand fly fever are causing trouble, he said. American doctors are fighting them to prevent epidemics. A major problem, Blesse said, has been treatment of civilians in jured by German land mines. New York, Oct. 8. U.R) Ed L.
