ful of the controversy that has
been developing with regard to
wkt department policy on the
assignment of Negro Nuraea. Sec.
Henry L. Stimson gave assur

ment with the background that
they are being rommlaaioned in
the army “when and where they
are available." and that they must
of course, meet the same physi
cal requirement* established for
ail nuraea.
The secretary’* statement was
prompted by a newsman’s in
quiry regarding department poli
cy. Surgeon General Norman T
Kirk had been quoted a* telling
a New York audience recently
that "We don’t mix them fmeiin
ing Negro and white nuraea);
where we hav# Negro troop* we
use them, hut up until now we
haven't used them for white
troops '* The question was whe
ther the exclusive assignment of
Negro nurse* to Negro soldiers
was the policy.
The Kirk statement Indeed
precipitated an issue. It Is un
derstood that his comment was
completely at variance with the
facts sines at the limn of the
remark Negro nurses were serv
