NIPPONESE NOT
HARD TO LEARN
Mrs. Molly Wood Romero
Explains Jap Language
Something Like Chinese.
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

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

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."
