r. Rangers In Korea
C By Cpl. C. E. J. Carmaker forANP
(This is the second of a ser-
ies about a heroic fighting unit
in Korea, the 2nd Ranger Co.,
7th Infantry Division.)
It didn’t take long to get the
Rangers to. Korea. The com-
pany was Dtaced in command
of 1st Lt. Warren E. Allen, Los
Angeles, Calif. Aden is e t. a u i
husky veteran of Word War II
v’ifh eight and one-half year's
service. The unit was whisked
from Fort Benning to Camp
Rtonemau. Calif., then to Yoko-
hama, Japan
On Dec. 30, the Rangers
arrived in Korea to begin the
tvne of job for which thev were
trained. Nerves were tense.
Words of atrocities were flow-
ing from the combat areas.

rean at the landing the Rangers were

set up adjacent to a medical
aid station. And that’s where
the yfirst saw action.
Gurerillas were harassing from" the
area, mountains sneaking down the
to raid nearhv vil-
lages. A medienl aid station
virtually unDrotected, was the
target for the marauders.
The pnemy, 150 strong, crent
from the mountains at, an early
morning hour, opened fire from
clo'e range on the medics.

Crliopled remnants of the guer-

This was one of the many
stories I had heard concerning
the activities of the Rangers.
Now, determined to find out for
mvself first hand. I went up to
the front to seek out the unit
and talk to its members.
I wanted to meet, these rug-
ged volunteers. I had trouble
heard locating them. Everyone had
of them, but nobody
seemed to know their location.
Finally, on a war man of an tn-
telligenee unit, I found them,

to the rear. There were fox-
holes on the front edge of the
paddy, one on each corner. Two
men, armed with individual
weapons, occupied the holes. A

RICKEYS SET MAJOR

Without the usual fanfare, we
tried to interest three major
league clubs in Orestes Minoso
long before he starred on the
Pacific coast and was gobbled
up bv the Cleveland Indians.
Artie Mann and Branch Rickey
of the Dodgers were intrested
in the darkskinned Cuban who
cavorted around the hot corner
for Alex Pompcv’s N. Y. Cubans
of the NNL at the time. The
matter never got out of the
exchange-of-letters stage how¬
ever, and I’m sure that Paul
Richards, Chicago White Sox
pilot, is happy about it.
It is my guess that Rickey,
Jr., will qome up with two or
three Negro players who within
the next two years will adorn
the liverv of the Pittsburgh with
Pirates after seasoning
chain clubs. The cases of Willie
Mays, N. Y. Giants, and Orestes
Minoso, outstanding major
league rookies as the pennant caused
race hits mid-July, have
caused many of the daily press
writers to do a turn about in
their fixed opinions about the
value of Negro baseball aver¬
ages and type of baseball
played.
Meharry Of
fers Nursing
Scholarships
Meharry Medical Coltoce
School of Nursing in Nashville
will offer on a romnetitive basis
three scholarships to applicants
for the Freshman class of the
1951-52 school year, Miss Alma
e. Gault, director of Nursing
Education, announced here last
week. Both men and women are
eligible.
The scholarships, valued at
$250.00 each, ore applicable to
to't.ion fees and are pach suffi¬
cient for them tor the entire
freshman year. Miss Gault said.
Tpe awards will be made to the
three apnl’cants who rank high¬
est in college grades, in the
nursing aptitude tests and in
-'harqct.pr refereneps. The ad¬
missions committee of the
sichool of Nurslnor will deter¬
mine the eligibility for awards
fmm the ratings of the various
npnlicants. ajso thnf

mnsi be eomptoted and on file
in the nfftop of thp registrar or
postmarked before midnight of
August 20. Admission reouire-
ments to Mcharrv’s S’chonl of
Nursing include two years of
college preparation. during
which time the armlicant must
have taken’ one year of inor¬
ganic chemistrv.
Th" broadening seope of
nursing, accordin'* to Miss
Oanlt. has contributed to a
serious shortage, even though
there are considerably more
nurses now in service than at
anv previous year. In 1910 there
was one t^urse for everv 1.110
n"onle in the U. S. population,
fn 19AR there was approximately
one nurse for everv 316 neonle.
The present estimated need for
nurses is 381.886. but there are
onlv about 322,500 in service. Bv
’ipfU, exncrts say, the need will
rise to 404.500.
The reasons for thLs“short-
aee” in snite of the growing
number of nurses, it was point¬
ed out. have their origin in the
new consciousness on the part
of government and community
agencies toward community ill¬
ness and the possibility of
atomic warfare and atomic
medicine. Basically, they are
four;
1. Expanding military needs.
2. The dumber of pepole
utilizing hospital services in
fifteen years has more than
doubled—from 7.0-90,000 in 1934
to 16,00,000 in 1949.
3. Demands for public health
nurses have grown from 4,338
nurses in 1931 to 6,892 nurses in
1950.
4. Industrial nursing in¬
creased 300 per cent during
World War II and it has never
dropped below that figure.
