Recruit Doctors
For Britain
The British Red Cross has ask
ed the American Red Crass fo
1,000 young doctors. So pre-sing
is Britian's n ed for more med:
cal men. support of this under
taking has been freely given by
President Roosevelt and Govern
ment officials directly connecte
with our own medical def ns<
program. From Washington ha
gone out the request for Select
ive Service Boards to' give spec
ial consideration to volunteer doe
tors subject to military duty with
our own troops.
Our doctors who are willing tc
serve Britain in this way, and
who meet the rigorous require
ments, will be eligible either for
duty with the Royal Army Med
ical Corps or the civilian uni s
of the Emergency Medical S r
vice. As officers of the R-AMC
they may choose where they wil
serve, whether it be Gibraltar.
Cairo or Burma. Their task will
be to work side by side with the
British doctors in the treatmen:
of military casualties. Those who
elect to serve as civilians will b
assigned duty with EMS in Hos
pitals and first aid stations in
b-omb-wracked areas on the home
front.

On the home front in England

On the military front — from
Gibraltar to the Middle East —
the fast movements of troops ha
created acute problems for B. i'
a in's Royal Army Medical Corp .
In former wars medical offi:* rs
attached to troops were able t~
handle large numbers of casual
ties in base hospitals. Today the
British doctor at the front trav
els virtually on wheels, picking
up his equipment in th dead o'"
night and moving a hundred mil
es away to a new theater cf war.
With the limited facilities of mo
bile units, more doctors are need
ed than in previous wars.
Aside from th_ humane a poet
of sending doctors to Britain
this contingent of American d c
tors will return to America
with invaluable experience in the
medical technique of modern wa* 1
fare. Th ir knowledge and skill:
may be needed some day .in the
defense of our own shores.

Mrs. S. W. Taggart 'n3s receiv
ed a cl oping from ‘he Louis
viit 1 Courier-Journal, of March
23r,d issue, from Andrew Sande
grdn, who was inspector cn the
; Nome f deral building. Following
: is the clipping:
Though there was extra pay to
! be had for the asking on a high
and-dry project nearby, work
men wad d through ankle-deep
' mud at Fort Knox in midwinter
, to work at regular wages. They
; built an ntire village, complete
with roads, walks, sewers, water,
! gas, electricity and street light
! ing in a little more than four
months. Andy wanted spetd.
Andy is Andrew Sandegren,
manager of the $2,030,000 def nse
housing project at Fort Knox.
Public Building Adminis ration
officials in Washington had told
Andy to get on down to Fort
Knox and get the buildings up.
Andy got on down and got 'em
up.
In 1938 he was in Nome, Alas
: ka, putting up a $500,000 post
office-court house building. In
1939 he was in New Orleans put
ting up a $2,000,000 Feder: 1 of
fice building. In 1940 h was a
Fort Knox, and his work there j
, will be finished by next Sun
day. at least fifteen days ahead o:
schedule. November 15, when
bonds were approved and a pro
c ed order issued, Andy's men
had already completed 3 percent
of the work on the Fort Kno :
housing project. The work had
begun November 5, four days af
i ter the contract was signed.
At a meeting of the Building
Congr ss of Louisville at the Ktn
tueky Hotel, Andy, related tech

acres of land which was virgin
soil without any kind of service j
or improvement were transform
ed into a sanitary, modern, attrac

peak, 2,000 men were on the
i job. No man did any overtime
work; that would have cost ex

The dwellings are to house fam |
i ili s of married non-commission
! ed officers and those of civilian
employes.
Non-commissioned officers will
pay $22.50 a month for their new 1
living quarters, heat, hot and
'cold running water, gas and elec!
tricity. Civilians will pay approx
I imately 20 percent of th ir in
come.
i The living quarters consist of
four or five rooms, each apart
ment containing a kitchen, com
bined living room and dining
room and a utility room on the
first floor and either two or three
bedrooms on the second.
The project was erected on a
cost-plus-fee basis, the estimated
cost being $1,930,000, the estimat

SMITH STILL ON
IU N IN ALASKA
JUNEAU, May i/Pi—Ben Smith
New York broker with a reputa
tion for amost fabulous exploits,
r:rived here in re cord passenger
.m from the Atlantic Coast—
les- than twenty-four hours.
Accompanied by a civil engin
eer, he left immediately by
chartered plane for C rdova. It
was understood here he would
make a hasty investigation of the
pro;iacted extension of the Alaska
Railroad to Passage Bay. He sub
mitted a bid for the estimated
eight million dollar project. Bids
will be opened May 12.
Smith, who gained 1 g. ndary
fame in Alaska several years
ago by purchasing a S25.003 gold
brick f r exhibition in the New
Yotk Stock Exchange, was expect
c-d to return to Juneau and fly
south immediately.
Hitler says Roosevelt is trying
to be a world dictator. Just an
old copycat, huh?
One consolation for a state of
war is that Adolf Hitler makes
fewer speeches.
(d fee for contractor $21,000.
As th first of numerous sim
ilar Army, Navy and industrial
projects planned throughout the
country, this undertaking was
extra-difficult, elicited more than
ordinary interest and investiga
tion, and is the proving ground
for methods and materials.
