Super- Board to Direct American Economic offensive

WASHINGTON, July 31 -(AP) A super-board to dl ect. the United States economic of ensive against the axis was established today by President Roosevelt.

As its head he placed vice presi- dent Henry Wallace, long a stud- ent of economic strategy and of vitally affected affairs of the Latin American nations, and to its mem- bershlp. he named the secretaries of state, treasury, agriculture and commerce and the attorney general.

An accompanying order gave the new agency a long list of formal duties and responsibilities. In reli- able quarters, it was learned. mean- while, that its activities would in- clude such things as:-

Handllng the frozen assets of the axis powers, keeping a close watch on 1,500 firms in Latin America recently blacklisted as over-friend- ly to Germany or Italy; watching export controls designed to keep essential war goods from reaching the ax‘; nations. and recommend- ing anti-trust suits to disestablish axis-influenced monopolies here.

at the same time. the day's de- velopments included several closely related to the economic defence of the nat‘on:—

By Robert 8t. John Associated Press Staff Writer

NEW YORK. July 31 -(AP) —— When you think of hospitals, you probably think of white walls and operating rooms and efficient doc- tors and all that sort oi thing. But the hospitals in Greece weren't- I-ike that.

Yet the lives of thousands of maimed air raid victims were pro- bably saved this spring because iri- side ii"e small, badly-lighted, bad- ly-ventilated places they called hospitals in Greece, gritty young nurses went on tying bandages a- round arms and legs, even though tile bombs kept dropping from the 5 Y.

When we arrived at the hospi- tal in Corinth, Greece, we found there was no doctor in town. They had all gone off with the army. But several nurses agreed to look over Leigh White, of C.B.S., who had been badly wounded.

'the Corinth Canal. And they were flying so low that they hit every- thing they wariied to hit.

A British truck driver said we'd have to change our plans now. We couldn't go to Anions, where we knew we could find a real hospital for White and communications for ourselves. He said there wasn't any way of getting to Athens excepv, a- cross that bridge, which wasn't a badge any more. We decided tn head south for Argos.

We got there early in the morn- lag. One or two ociock. The hos- Dlial was just like the one at Cor- inth, only smaller. We put White right in the operating room. Then there wouldn't be any question of his being the first one to be operat- ed on in the morning.

But there had been planes over Argos already. and the people lying around the ward room were mak- ing funny noises, like ‘you do after you've been hit by bombs. so I guess nobody slept that night.

The Stukas came over as soon as the sun cracked the horizon. They kept, coming and going all day. The hospital was near a railroad yards. Maybe that was the reason the hospital kept getting bombed.
