SPEAKER: Until Friday of last week I had a very high, regard for the Judg ment and opinion of the Hon. Clin ton Anderson; a former Member of this Body and at present Secre tary of Agriculture, but he was credited last Friday with issuing .the statement that hog production. In this countrf should be cut ten - per cent in order to save grain. We are now in the midst of planting season where It would be a fine opportunity , for the Secretary of : Agriculture to advocate Increasing corn production rather than de- , creasing meat production when we , . are already short on meat In this country. It sounds very much like the man who burned his house : down In order to get warm, . Now this -morning Mr. Chester .Bowles, feeling that possibly his OPA set up was In danger, at ' tempts to frighten the country by telling the people he will probably call for to4d rationing again In August. Full well does Mr. Bowles know that this is going to start a rush of buying and hoarding, and when that is done he feels the road wfll be clear for him again . to begin food rationing. This fol lows mighty closely on the heels of the statement given out by Secretary of Agriculture Anderson and my suggestion to Mr. Ander son Is that unless he wants to be- . ..-come the laughingstock of the ag ricultural k people of. Jhis country X " wjki unaeisiana agn 1 Vre, he.had better find him m more' dependable agricultu- A advisers than Mr. Chester Bowles and the little Flower of UNRRA", La Guardia.

Stamping our yellow fever in a swamp - fighting dreaded diseases in the steaming jungle - checking the spread of epidemics both at home and abroad caring fqr bro ken minds and broken bodies this is the mission of The Army Medical Corps. Whether it be on the pitching deck of a transport or in . the calm silence of modern military hospi tals, these men work surely and swiftly as they repair the shatter ed bodies of their fellow soldiers and nurse them back to complete recovery. The position of- the medical corps is one of great responsibility. Medicine requires much training and when a man is enlisted into the corps he receives expert in struction and supervision from highly trained personnel. Young men who are interested in medicine can receive no better training than that which they re- ' - cetve as members of the Army Medical Corps. They can find no more honorable nor satisfying ca reer than that, of medicine. And so, always fighting to save human lives, dedicated to the high resolve that no case is hopeless as long as there is life, the Army Medical Corps marches forward training men who, upon their re lease from service, will be able to step into the civilian medical pic ture and carry on with their work.
