Polish Student Doctor Tells
Of Days of Horror Under Fire
Treated 'Wagonloads'
Of Persons Injured
By Bombs, Gas, Poison
Bruno Adamski, 30-vear-old Amer
ican who amputated legs and sewed
Up shell wounds during three weeks
of the siege of Warsaw, dropped in
at the Polish Embassy yesterday to
report his experiences and exhibit
German shell fragments picked up
from his hospital floor .
A fourth year medical student at
Pilsudski University, he volunteered
for service in Christ Child Hospital
when the Nazi invasion began. His
first task, he declared, was to cut
off the leg of a woman teacher at a
Jewish orphanage.
“It seemed tragic, but I got used
to it—I'd treated wagonloads of peo
ple injured by bombs, shells, mustard
gas and poisoned water by the time
I left. I saw men bombed in the
breadline that stretched in front of
my apartment house."
Only One Doctor Killed.
“Our hospital staff was lucky.” he
commented. “Shells came in almost
daily .but only one of our doctors
was killed.”
An aspect of the war making the
greatest problem for Mr. Adamski
and his artist wife was the task of
raising their baby girl, 14 months
old, amidst bombardment.
“You try to get babies to think it a
game, by telling them if they go near

the window it will 'boom boom,’ ” he
i said.
“When 70 planes would roar over
1 head and I would get a bit jittery,
Baby Elizabeth sometimes laughed.”
On one occasion when shelling
was particularly heavy, Mrs. Adam
ski decided they should carry their
daughter to a better protected part
of the apartment house. Three
minutes later a shell landed in the
suite, demolishing their furnishings
Mr. Adamski declared.
Just One of Unemployed.
The family left Warsaw on Sep
tember 21, part of the last group
fleeing before the city's surrender.
Since diplomats were among them,
they passed through the German
lines without difficulty and en
trained at Nasielsk for Koenigsberg.
After delays in Germany the trio
sailed from Copenhagen on the
steamer Scanyork, arriving in New
York Monday.
Though real estate holdings in
Warsaw made him well-to-do, he
says he is now “just one of the un
employed" here, lacking funds to
complete medical training in the
United States.
His wife. Anna, expects to earn
money by painting a series of war
pictures from sketches she made in
Poland of ambulances racing, walls
crumbling and mothers tending
wounded children. They will live
in Baltimore.
Vermont Truck Strike
Ended With Contract
By the Associated Press.
BARRE, Vt„ Nov. 17.—Trucks
rolled busily over the highways of
Vermont today, herdlding the end
of a State-wide strike of 400 drivers,
called two weeks ago to enforce
wage and hour demands.
The new contract provided for a
60-hour week, for wages ranging
from 40 to 60 cents an hour and
for an open shop. Members of the
Chauffeurs, Teamsters and Helpers’
Union (A. F. of L.) voted last night
to accept the open shop, thus clear
ing away the last obstacle delaying
settlement.
The drivers originally had de
manded a wage scale ranging from
45 to 67 cents an hour, together with
a closed shop. The new contract,
which provides time and a quarter
overtime for road drivers and time
and a half overtime for local drivers
on holidays, also contains an arbitra
tion clause under which two union
members, two operators and a fifth
person chosen by the four would
settle disputed matters.
Willkie Demands Holiday
From Federal Regulation
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Wendell
L. Willkie, president of the Com
monwealth & Southern Corp., last
night demanded a “holiday from
further Government regulation”
and a "little hard-headed Dutch
attitude in favor of free enterprise”
as a means of putting back to work
"those 10,000,000 unemployed.”
He spoke before the Holland So
ciety of New York, an organization
of descendants of the original
Dutch settlers here, which pre
sented him with the society’s an
nual gold medal for "eminence in
defending the right to individual
enterprise.”
"If we can restore the free flow
of money into the capital markets,”
Mr. Wilikie continued, "we shall
make It possible for the unem
ployed to get off the streets and
back into the factories,
“We have had seven years of
new forms of regulation and vast
expenditures for pump-priming—
and we still have those 10,000,000
unemployed. Instead of trying
‘more of the same’ I suggest that
the Government should encourage
private enterprise and private in
vestment to show what it can do.”
Finland plans to establish a spe
cial ministry to deal with labor
problems.
