Well have the Army give you easy way,
Don't guffaw, Mac, than 100 men of the 5390th Reserve Army Service Unit at Ft. Benjamin Harrison get shot for typhoid and vaccinated for smallpox without a whimper. And not a man fell out on his face. . : A Lt. Col. George M. Brother, medical inspector, called the shot a “stimulating dose.” Prior to the shooting ceremony, subordinates worked frantically with a sterilizer. For a while, that fouled up things all along the line. * © * COL. BROTHER said the delay was an example of how skilled and routine procedure became rusty with disuse. He told the officers the tetanus shot originally scheduled would be omitted. Change in orders. Col. Layton R. Mottern, commanding officer of the unit, explained the immunization didn't have any special significance other than being a protective measure. Also, the hospital units would get a chance to brush up with hypodermics, “>
A COUPLE of captains went fo work on the
sterilizer and it wasn’t long before it became obvious new equipment would have to be procured. A lieutenant remarked it would be all right with him if the situation became so fouled up that they'd have to postpone the shooting. Col. John E. Wyttenbach, medical officer, told the men how he wanted them to line up, and suggested everyone strip to his undershirt, Major Theodora Bosma's cheeks colored slightly. She checked the progress with the sterilizers and sat still, Men lined up in front of the vaccinating station first. As soon as a man’s left arm was
' ¢ scratched sufficiently, he was to proceed to the
typhoid station and present his right arm. * *

NEW YORK, Dec. 6—President Truman phoned Tallulah Bankhead backstage at NBC Sunday to thank her for treating Margaret Truman so well on “The Big Show” program — in fact, “for being so sweet to my baby.” The thoroughly overwhelmed Tallulah told the Prez that Margaret was “a real trouper” and “a true professional.”
. Which she was; in fact now she'll be getting
offers to do anything she wants to do in TV and radio—acting, comedy, singing, even high class disc jockeying. Tallulah and Margaret hung on the phone together talking to the Prez. I asked Tallulah if she called Mr. Truman “Dolling.” “I call everybody dolling, but especially dollsaid.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6—There is quite a passel of indignation loose upon the streets at the suggestion that we just knock off the hostilities in the East, pretend they never happened, and shed a short tear for the thousands who are already dead for an ideal that we have promoted all along. The Bar-and-Grill consensus : is that we were possibly stupid
but we stuck it out. That being 80, we were real dumb- to get fouled up in the United Nations: at all, since we have to finance it, and, largely, implement it. But fouled up in it we got, finance it we did,-and implement it we have, Our bosom buddies, England and France, have bounced merrily along with us to date in all our fine sensibilities, but now, with the dough on the line, they
knock off, Bud? The only history that is sadder than the history of aggression is the history of bended-knee appeasement to ag-
gressors, England wrote the book on that one,
and France, heaven help us all, has certainly been unable to administrate its own affairs since they built a flimsy picket fence called the Magmot Line. * °* 9 Ta

serum and needles. -First Lt. Helen Onyett, nurse corps, and 1st Lt. Frances Doyle, ‘women's medical specialty corps, kept up the supply. Many of the men stared straight ahead in line. Never did their eyes focus on the table where the needles and serum lay. The odor of alcohol and acetone began to get heavy. The first man in the smallpox line wasn't ruddy. - And One of the medical men would grab his arm, get set to jab and then let go {0 answer a question. The system wasn't in full swing. = 2
Finally the smallpox needies began to flash
with regularity. Maj. Robert W. McTurnan and | . Yudell Slocum stood poised with the 1yphol}

FIRST.’ Edythe Bassett and 1st Lt. Gladys
G. Sears, ‘nurse corps, changed the needles after each shot. The immunization was in full swing. Col. Wyttenbach said that during the last war he had a hospital corps giving the needle to 250 men every seven minutes. That, he added, was efficiency. Practice makes perfect. bP WHAT 1 OBSERVED wasn’t exactly a public” works project. A man stepped up, eyes away from either of the hypo-wielding majors, there would be a fast swipe with the cotton, the needle would plunge into the arm, the thumb pressed down, out came the needle, another fast pass with the cotton and the man never knew what hit him. 1 think. 3 ‘ Maj." V. F. Thomson, chaplain, and Maj. Howard Bates, adjutant, milled’ around the crowded room, chatting and laughing. Lt. William O'Brien tried hard to be jolly, When Maj. Slocum grabbed his arm the young officer reacted as if he had made contact with a high tension wire. * © & MAJ. SLOCUM said, “Hi, little boy, this needle isn’t any good. How does it feel to you?” “Good, sir,” the lieutenant answered, swallow= ing. Fit. Louis Hensley quipped that he'd take his shot in a glass. Maj. William Weiss, next in line, wanted to know if he couldn't have more than 1% cc. of serum. “Give me a double.” * © 9. WHEN all the men had gone through the line,
‘the administering officers shot and vaccinated
each other. Pretty soon I was the only one left, Several invitations to join in the fun were made, but I held onto a pillar with both hands. A hypodermic doesn’t frighten me, understand, it's
-just that I didn’t feel right in taking stuff from
men in uniform. The smelling salts were put away, Arms were covered and the whole outfit suddenly perked up. 5390th is a tough outfit, a ready outfit.

Man With ‘Difierence’ Is Not Cufied Around
If you will pardon a personal intrusion, I went to sea for a living once ($10 a week, no over-
time) back in the mid-thirties when jobs were
scarce. As a fresh college graduate I was a spit in the eye to professional sailors, though I was as hungry as they. ® > ON THE FIRST trip out, I had a Jot of fights.
Some I won, some I tied, and some I lost. On |
the second trip I had no fights, This was because I attempted to appease nobody in the foc'sle. While a lot of the boys aboard could whip me, it got to be too much trouble to bait a guy who answered a dirty crack with a fist. Moral being that Mr. Chamberlain fs remembered only for his umbrella. We got a thing in our hip pocket 1oday which the hoodlums call the “difference.” That would be the atom bomb. Anybody with the
“difference” on his person does not have to be
cuffed around by people armed, for the moment, solely with brass knucks, It seems to me we have a reasonable arguing point with the ‘head people, which would be Mr. Stalin and as-
sociates. ‘This thing cannot string out, like an interminable fight between dogs. No economy will
