of "Babe," a tomcat, by Capt. James'
A. Ferguson, '39 M, is one of sev-
eral unusual operations in the Euro-
pean theatre.
Major Paul Samson, '28M, remov-
ed a human lung from a German sol-
dier wounded by shell fragments in
the chest. The operation, 'done in a
dimly-lit tent close to the battle
front, would have been difficult under
the most favorable conditions. Ma-
jor Samson was a star member of
the Varsity swimming team.
Lt. Carver G. Walcott, '34M, per-
formed several amputations and gave
blood transfusions to many wounded
men rescued from a nearby ship
struck by bombs in the Gulf of Sal-
erno. The warship was not meant to
be a hospital ship, but no casualty
was reported.
Major Frederick Trautman, '30M,
devised a new type of splint which
has proved useful in speeding the
recovery of fingers, hands and fore-
arms of Americans wounded in Eu-
rope. He is chief of orthopedic sur-
gery at a United States hospital in
England.

Prof. John F. Shepard of the psy-
chology department commented yes-
terday on the ten-point statement on
"Human Nature and the Peace" is-
sued by the American Psychoogical
Association.
The statement, formulated by a
group of ten psychologists and ap-
proved by the Association, was pub-
Ten Points
1. War can be avoided: War is
not born in men; it is built into
men.
2. In planning for permanent
peace, the coming generation
should be the primary focus of at-
tention.
3. Racial, national and group
hatreds can, to a considerable de-
gree, be controlled.
4. Condescension toward "infer-
ior" groups destroys our chance
for a lasting peace.
5. Liberated and enemy peoples
must participate in planning their
own destiny.
6. The confusion of defeated
people will call for clarity and con-
sistency in the application of re-
wards and punishments.
7. If properly administered re-
lief and rehabilitation can lead to
self-reliance and cooperation; if
improperly, to resentment and hat-
red.
8. The root-desires of the com-
mon people of all lands are the
safest guide to framing a peace.
9. The trend of human relation-
ship is toward ever wider units of
collective security.
10. Commitments now may pre-
vent postwar apathy and reaction.

said: "There is truth in each point.

Prospects in the Balkans" at 8:00

day, in the Rackhain Amphitheatre.
In his 25 years of work in Europe

Hal Boyle Wins
Pulitzer Prize
NEW YORK, May 7-(zP)-Harold
V. (Hal) Boyle, Associated Press War
Correspondent who told the day by
day story of the American foot sol-
dier in the battle for Europe, today
won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguish-
ed correspondent during 1944.
Another $500 award went to Joe
Rosenthal, Associated Press Photo-
grapher who made the historic pic-
ture of the Marines raising the Unit-
ed States flag on Iwo Jima.
Rosenthal's photograph, made for
the wartime still picture pool, was
taken in February, 1945, and nor-
mally would not have been eligible
for a 1944 award, but the rule was
suspended "for this distinguished
example," it was announced.
The Pulitzer Prize for the most
distinguished novel of 1944 went to
John Hersey,"for "A Bell for Adano"

SRA Will Present Rest
Of Verdi Composition
The second half of Verdi's "Re-
quiem Mass" will be performed at the
weekly Student Religious Association
record concert at 7:30 p. m. EWT
(6:30 p. m. CWT) tomorrow at Lane
Hall, Director Les Hetenyi has an-
nounced.
The public is invited.
Yes, Victory in
Europe is ours.
But therc is much to do be
fore coin plete victory is ours.
We must remain even more
strongly stated, and as a whole, the
statement is an example of the sub-
mergence of the all-important factor
of ecoonmics to minor matters.
"The third point is weak. Hatreds
cannot only be controlled, but they
can be wiped out altogether by re-
moving the reasons for them, which
are primarily economic. Russia has
already shown that this can be done.
"The fifth point should be changed
from 'participate in planning' to
must plan'. One of the weakest
points in the foreign policy of the
United States and Great Britain is
the failure to recognize the peoples
of liberated nations instead of the
hold-over governments that the peo-
ple don't want. This was the case in
both Greece and Italy.
Root-Desire of Man
"Regarding the eighth point, the
basic root-desire of man is to dis-
cover a reasonable prospect around
which to plan his life. The prospect
might change, but the root-desire
does not. Most people are confused
as to what their prospect is, and
therefore do not know what their
immediate wants are. Nevertheless,
these wants cannot be ignored. Peo-
ple must learn to think for them-
selves-keep their eyes open. The
thinking must not be done by some-
one else for them.
"The most important defect of the
statement is that it fails to recog-
nizt the dominant drive in both do-
mestic and international relations-
the economic.
Grace of God Saved Us
"We would be in Germany's shoes
but for the grace of God. If the eco-
nomic conditions of the United
States had been as bad as those of
1ยง32 Germany, we would have faced
a similar crisis. Germany's situation
could only be remedied by a change
in systems. The trouble came be-
cause the wrong system was allowed
to take hold.
"The people were unwilling to re-
gard their predicament as an intel-
lectual and economic problem. Their
main desire was to maintain the
status quo, which was free enterprise.
They feared communism and there-
fore turned to fascism because it ap-
peared to be the way to retain free
enterprise.
"Fascism is a resort to force in
order to hold on to what would not
need force if it had worked.
Fascism Can Result
"If, in the United States, a situa-
tion of economic breakdown and
mass unemployment should come, we
will be faced with the same dilemma.
Unless the people realize that when
their economic system is not func-
tioning there must be a peaceful
change, fascism will be the result.
"A propensity to war is not native
to Germany. The country was a vic-
tim of circumstances. However, this
is no reason to grant the country a
soft peace. Germany must be pun-
ished, but other countries should
take her punishment to heart-learn
a lesson from it-and carry it out
with humility, so that they will not
make the same mistakes."
