Headquarters, United States
—-Through three
the intervening years of
peace, servicemen have been nurs
ed back to health by members of
the Army Nurse Corps.
On February 2, 1951, the Army
Nurse Corps will celebrate its fif
tieth birthday. It is the oldest of
all the women’s military services,
with a 'tradition of distinguished
s rvice to military sick and wound
ed and to the families of military
personnel.
Army nurses were the first
American women to be dispatched
with the Armed Forces to Korea,
a unit of nurses arriving there
during the first week in July.
Now over 300 and in support of
troops in the combat zone. The
surgeon general of the army re
ports that their work has been
magnificent, that without -their
fearless assistance the high rate of
recovery of combat casualties
would be impossible.
Army nurses are indispensable
members of the medical team. To
day, with military expansion un
der way, they are more important
than ever—for the men who de
fend American security must be
assured that doctors and nurses
stand ready with professional
skill, when needed. j
At -the present, more than ever!
before, -there is an urgent need
for more registered nurses. With
the coming Golden Anniversary
of the Army Nurse Corps, the
army will attempt to seek 3,000
graduate professional nurses for
military service during the first
six months of this year.
All graduate nurses who are in
terested in a commission in the
Army Nurse Corps may get fur
ther particulars by contacting the
Army Surgeon’s Office located at
Fort Richardson, Alaska.

WASHINGTOfel IM — Ato
amendment to the pending Alaska
statehood hill to ban additional
native reservations “unless and
untiF* the Territory become a
state was offered today by Sen.
Butler (R.-Neb.y
The amendment is identical
with one adopted toy the Senate
interior and insular affairs com
mittee last year, but not included
in the current version of the bill.
“If Alaska is to grow and de-.
velop, either with or without
statehood,” Butler said in a state
ment, “this problem of Indian
reservations must toe solved. Un
der the present policy of the de
partment of interior any develop
ment of Alaska resources is sty
mied by the threat that private
property will toe confiscated In ef
fect, in order to create new reser
vations.”
