European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 14, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse Pittsburgh Heads for Guam after losing Bow to typhoon Viper in 1945. Navy typhoons / continued from Page 1,1 ships but added errors in judgment stemming from commendable desire to meet military requirements were to blame. One result of cobra was a series of recommendations from Halsey for future contests of the sort As Well Asa plea for better weather recon. Not All of the Admiral s requests were met but when he took Over the 3rd Fleet again in june and ran into typhoon Viper again the authors code name not a ship was escort carriers Salamata and Windham Bay both were battered an lost the flight deck planes but survived the destroyer escort Tonkin almost went Over at a 75-degree-plus starboard Roll but fought it through. The Battle ship Indiana lost steering and one engine the Massachusetts lost its Cata Pult planes and suffered some damage. Both carriers Bennington and Hornet had sections of the flight deck buckle and required major repairs but mos seriously damaged were Light cruisers similar to the Miami. The Pittsburg lost 106 feet of its Bow and Only Emer gency repairs kept bulkheads from open ing. He cruisers Duluth and Baltimore also suffered twisted bows but stayed in one piece. The destroyer Moore suffered the usual Power loss and water intake but managed to come through. In All Viper damaged 33 ships but sunk non destroyed 76 planes and Cost six lives. The court of inquiry blamed Halsey and task Force 38 commander vice adm. John s. Mccain and recommended both be relieved of their commands. Both received letters of Halsey s Battle for Long Range typhoon weather recon paid off an finally the Navy established such patrols. After battling two killer typhoons Halsey probably thought a letter of rep Rimand was a cheap enough Price to Payfor future warnings. Dear Ann Landers we Are sixth Grade boys with a big problem.

Dear Ann Landers my brother and his wife came to town unexpectedly lust sunday an created a Small problem. We were invited to the Home of Poge 14 some friends for dinner so telephoned and asked if we could bring Irma and hostess was quite unpleasant and let me know she was not pleased at the thought of i wish we had never gone any of us. Fourteen peo ple were crowded around a table meant for 10. I m sure she put Only one Board in her table instead of two to let us know we had inconvenienced her. The hostess s very old parents did not fit into the so Cial group both Are hard of hearing and they could easily have eaten in the Kitchen or been fed before the guests hostess was Cool to me when we said Good night. Iam the one who should be read not her. Should i Tell Heri feel she was most ungracious Adadean Ada the real culprits Are Irma and George. Inthisane of communication there is to excuse to arrive anywhere unexpectedly. When such things occur it is Best to Cal the hostess and say i m sorry we cannot come and explain Why. Only if the hostess insists tha1 you bring you guests should you do so. The notion but she should have put her parents in the Kitchen or fed them first is outrageous. Is this the Way you treat your parents if so i feel sorry for them an sorrier for you. Dear Ann Landers when my wife answers the Telephone and 1 am at Home she Al ways asks who is this i be told her a dozen times it does matter who it is i will talk to anybody. Some people Don like to be asked who is this furthermore when she asks it creates the impression that she does t Trust wife says it is no More than Good manners to identify one s self on the phone and if people Are so ignorant that they Don t know enough to do this she sees nothing wrong in asking them. Thanks for refereeing this one. Half Gaynor dear half your wife is is Good manners to identify one s self of the phone but not All people know this in s More than one Way to skin a cat however. Culler will respond much More kindly to May 1 Tell him who is calling please than to who is this copy ii it Latoi. halt Syndicate the stars and stripes Toth editor a of few str. ,.j i obstetrical fees As an army civilian we must pay for our medical care or visits to doctors or clinics $45 for Hospital care and $60 for maternity care. My question concerns maternity rates. A year ago i delivered a baby girl at 97th general Hospital maternity Ward. I was three Days in labor before they d Admi me they won t give anything to help induce or ease along dim cult labors. After delivering i got my baby to take care of the second Day this i Don t mind but i do mind being required to change my own sheets getting up and going to a cafeteria for my meals you eat when it comes regardless if your child i hungry too or you get nothing getting up in the Middle of the night and going to the nurses desk for a Pill because she sure won t bring it to you. And those daily classes they make you go to to Tell you How to care for your child if you be got children already you know anyway and it could be time wasted on things you be gone through with four kids. 1. Why must i pay $60 a Day maternity rates when i do Al the work 2. Why does t the army approve of inducing labor especially in difficult cases 3. Why Don t of gyn doctors give Pelvic examinations in thelast six weeks of pregnancy As All stateside of gyn doctors do?4. Why must i go through a dispensary and see a regular my. Who does t know a thing about pregnancy or gyn problems Roget appointments at the Hospital clinic by the time you get an appointment at the dispensary and they refer you to the Hospital two months or More have gone by. Why the required three months wait before you can go to doctor about pregnancy a woman could lose her baby in that three months time. The first four or five months Are the mos dangerous if you can t get a doctor without a lot of red tape. Concerned dependent Dac editor s note the chief Usa eur obstetrics gynaecology service replies i the $60 rate reflects the High Cost of providing obstetrical care to the Mother. This rate identified As rate f in a 40-330, is established by the Bureau of the budget. Rate f is applied As follows to obstetrical cases which terminate in delivery a Day of delivery and four Days thereafter $60 per diem All other Hospital Days for Mother $45 " " a Newborn beginning of fifth Day after de livery or first Day Mother is not in hos Pital whichever is earlier. $10 " in multiple births the $10 rate applies to each infant. This $60 includes All possible expense to the patient such a medication anaesthesia fees possible operating room fees blood transfusions room and Board arid of course the doctors fees All normally applied and prorated to the patient s Bill. Therefore this rate of $60 is in reality very reasonable when compare to civilian Hospital rates. As to the patients doing All the work which in reality consists of changing sheets fluffing up the Pillow keeping the night stand tidy it is purposely arranged for the patient in order Lohela her regain her strength and to get into shape to care for herself and baby at Home. 2induction of labor either by medical or surgical Means or combination thereof is strictly a professional decision and must never be based on personal desires of either the patient or the doctor. In each Case the safety of the procedure or its hazards must be weighed against the urgency of the medical and Only when the natural environment be comes More hazardous than that of an incubator la the Nurser is induction permissible. 3pelvic examinations in the last two months of pregnancy Are not performed in the routine pregnant patient to reduce the risk of infection premature rupture of the bag of Waters or ind action of vaginal bleeding. In certain medically indicated situations under carefully controlled conditions Pelvic examinations maybe performed but Only then. 4usareur Reg. 40-372 dated May 28, 1964, and its recently revised version answer questions about dispensary care and any patients should wait about three months prior to prenatal car initiation. If every patient having missed one period were to enrol in prenatal classes Many would be unnecessarily involved in time and Money consuming examinations and Lal 0ra tory procedures. By waiting for it least two missed menses me chances of a patient actually being pregnant Are much improved. Any unusual problems such As pain or irregular bleed ing constitute an emergency situation and will be dealt inn promptly in the gynaecology clinic.
