By Mary Plnchot United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) The Japanese language, though lt has 30,000 variable characters, and though one word may have three read ings, isn't difficult to learn, ac cording to Mrs. Molly Wood Romero, a student at Columbia University. Mrs. Romero, an ex-ballet dancer and sister of. tennis star Sidney B. Wood, Jr., explained that most of the 34 pupils at Col umbia are studying to enter Army or Navy schools in Jap anese. But she enrolled because she liked the sound of the speech, which is like "drv leaves," and because "I've al ways wanted to learn an Orlen tal tongue." She has the linguistic edge on the average pupil, having al ready mastered French, Spanish, Russian and a bit of Hungariau and Navajo Indian. Japanese characters, she said, are like Chinese, though Chinese has fewer Inflections. Many of the words, she explained, are compounds of several characters and tell a complete story in themselves. "The word medicine, for In stance," said Mra. Romero, "is made up of four characters, meaning white, tree, silk and bark. It adds up to "the white bark of a tree tied up in silk," which was probably some kind of ancient remedy. Almost any word having to do with emotion usually has the character for "woman1 hidden in it some where." The university's Japanese de partment is run by a staff of five: Dr. George Noss, who lived 20 years in Japan; Prof. Harold Henderson, a translate! of Japanese poetry, and three native Japanese whose names can t be mentioned because they have families still living in Japan. They worry about their students' euthuslasm leading to overwork, said Mrs. Romero. "and one of them recently told me to try for lower marks and higher health." Mrs. Romero has been study ing for three months and can reel off text-book sentences like 'man to hands are not if what sort inconvenience will be." Their word order, she adds, is somewhat different from ours. That sentence translated means if a man has no hands what in convenience will result." The book's reassuring answer la "he won't be able to tie his sash." The hardest thing, next to the order, said Mrs. Romero, Is to memorize the sound of the sym bols as well as their 'meaning The grammar, she feels, is fairly simple, since verbs have only three conjugations and there are only three or four Irregular ones. Mrs. Romero believes that people have built up an attitude of unreasonable awe for the Jap anese language and that three months of concentrated effort can teach one as much Japanese as six months of normal unlver sity training can teach of Span ish or any other so-called easy language ADMIRAL DECORATED Washington.

' tv &Zt i so w Hr w p" k v ; w t - M i : i a- -i a- American Surgeon Praises Russian Treatment Method By Dudley Ann Harmon United Press Staff Correspondent London (U.R) American washing machines smack up In the Soviet front lines are playing as big a part of winning the war as' American tanks, says one of the few foreigners ever to visit what for outsiders has always been darkest Africa, medically Soviet war hospitals. Dr. Elliott Cutler of Boston, Mass., chief surgical consultant In the European theater, was a member of the first mission of Americans, Canadian and Brit ish ever to tour Russian medical Installations at the invitation of the Russian government. Hes back in London convinced that we, who think of ourselves as the cleanest people in the world, have a lot to learn from the Soviet. "They wash their operating material and bandages right at the front," he told the United Press, "instead of sending it back behind the lines, as we do. When a wounded man is brought In the doctors don't just treat the wound. They treat the man. Un less he's bleeding and 95 per cent aren't he's first sent to the barber for a haircut and shave. Then he's given a bath, a real bath, with rubber coverings over his bandages so the nurse can really go to it Instead of ginger ly rubbing around them. Men who'd been wounded six times in a year and sent back to fight each time also impressed Dr. Cutler, who is Moseley Pro fessor of Surgery at Harvard Hospitals for the slightly wound' ed, 80 per cent of all casualties, are right up there with the front divisions, instead of miles be hind. A man who's been wounded in the hand doesn't limber up by basket-weaving, but by tak ing a machine gun apart. It's war with those people every time," said Cutler. In his opin ion the Russians are also far ahead of other countries In handling great numbers of wounded. They give a man the right treatment from the very beginning. A man with a smash ed face isn't operated on by a foot specialist, because there s a plastic surgeon right at the front. Though ahead of us In hospi tal organization, the Russians are still largely dependent on their allies for drugs and hos pital equipment. One 4,000-bed hospital visited by Dr. Cutler had six X-ray machines twe Partisan Leader Sculped as Tito" to his followers, poses Partisan leader. "Tito" is vice . American, two British and two captured from the Germans. The German machines were the best of all. i Shortly after his arrival in the Soviet. Dr. Cutler saw a Russian woman stalking across a field carrying a fir tree on each shou' der. Then he found himself star ing into the muzzle of a gun held bv a pretty young Russian po licewoman demanding to see his pass. So by the time he got to the hosoltais. ne wasni sur- rirised to find women doctors and nurses doing as good a job as men. "The nurses at my first ho pital had built it out of logs in their spare time, cutting the trees themselves," he said. "I met a woman who's a leading authority on chest and abdomi nal surgery She.s handled 2,000 chests and 1,000 abdominals since the war. They're training 40,000 medical students in Rus sia this year, as compared with 5,400 in America. Of these 40, 000, 90 per cent are girls."
