NAVY'S MEDICAL
POLICY SUSTAINED
Preventive Program Proves Ad.
vantage, Stitt's Report for
Year Indicates.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Preventive medicine plays an increas-
ingly important part for the Navy
Medical Corps and aviation medicine
is now classed under that head.
Fourteen years of compulsory anti
typhoid incubation have shown it to be
almost 100 per cent effective, Rear Ad-
miral Edward Stitt, surgeon general of
the Navy, declaring in his annual re-
port today that only Is cases of typhoid
occurred in the Navy during 1927. He
said, mo individual who had received
the complete course (of inoculation)
was attacked"
Anti-cholera vaccine was given to 49,
900 members of the expeditionary forces
in China, and no cases of the disease
were reported Influenza, which showed
1926 cases per 100000, took the high
est toll of life, in combination with
other respiratory diseases, and the re-
port condemned serious overcrowding"
and overheating in living quarters on
board ship as causes, recommending
installation of radiators on the larger
vessels.
Aviation medicine" consisted largely
of research to determine an applicants
'temperamental adaptability" to flying.
Aviation casualties were grouped
with other deaths by violence. which
totaled 248 for the year. The S-4 dis
aster raised the total for drownings to
95, or "a per cent more than the average
for the preceding five years. Other fatal
accidents had varied causes, from rid
ing on roller coaster" to being at
tackled by an unidentified Mexican at

ORDER DISMISSAL
OF TWO POLICEMEN
Commissioners Act on Smith and
Blasey Cases-0verride
Wheelock Decision.

Policemen r. L. Smith and r. G..
Blasey fifth precinct, were ordered dis
missed from the force by the Dis
trict Commissioners yesterday.
The two officers were found guilty
by the trial board last May of accept
ing bribes in return for failing to en-
force the prohibition law. Both men
appealed from the boards decision, and
the case has been under review since
alleged bribes, ranging in amount from
$40 to $50, are said to have been paid
the officers in August and October,
1927. The men have been under suS-
pension since May.
The Commissioners, however, over
rode the finding of the board in the
case of George Wheelock, veteran desk
man at the sixth precinct. The board
recommended his removal on conviction
of charge of failing to pay just debt.
The Commissioners accepted an ad-
justment offered by Wheelock, and sat-
isfactory to his creditors, whereby the
debts would be paid in installments
Wheelock has been on the force since
1905 He explained that illness in his
family had drained most of his re-
sources.

The prince since his return home has

his fathers palace, the Duke OF York S
home in nearby Picadilly and to the
squash courts in q club not five minutes

f1ected no undue anxiety. The birthday
of the Duke of York was quietly cele-
brated at family gathering for lunch
con at Buckingham Palace. Later,
Princess Mary sat with disabled Veter-
ans of the World War at Hyde Park

given to raise Christmas funds.

CARNEGIE BUST
IS UNVEILED HERE
Bronze Memorial Placed in
Pan-American Building,
Which He Aided.

A bronze bust of Andrew Carnegie
the gift of Mrs. Carnegie, was unveiled
today in the Hall of the Americas OF
the Pan American Union
The bust was unveiled by Louise
Miller, 9year-old granddaughter of Mr.
Carnegie, in the presence of delegates
to the Pan-American Conference, South
American diplomats and members OF
the cabinet. 1t was accepted on behalf
Of the governing board OF the Pan
American Union by Secretary of State
Kellogg.
Mrs. Carnegie, who was unable to be
present at the ceremony, was represent
ed by her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs Roosevelt Miller Elihu Root
was present as a representative of the
Carnegie Corporation.
Gave SS5O,00O for Building.
The bust is located in a niche on the
south side of the Hall of the Americas,
where it will be visible to hundreds of
visitors daily. The Pan-American Union
Building, ii was recalled, is largely due
to the generosity of Mr.. Carnegie. He
donated $500 for this purpose. The
governments of the American republics
contributed $250,000 and the land was
assigned by the Government of the
United States.
Mr.. Carnegie acted largely on the
suggestion of Mr.. Root, then Secretary
of State and chairman of the govern
ing board of the Pan American Union.
MIR. Carnegie had been a delegate to
the first Pan-American conference in
1889 and was deeply interested in the
work. Thus he needed little urging to
provide home where the accredited
representatives of the republics are to
meet to bind together their respective
nations in the bonds of unbroken
peace"
DIR. Pritchett Speaks.
The presentation address was made
by DR.. Henry l.. Pritchett, president OF
the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching, who said that
Mr.. Carnegie had seen in providing a
suitable home for the union of Amer
lean republics "an agency not only fol
the common cooperation between these
countries, but new agency that should
affect the spirit in which internation-
al questions should be approached"

Since May 80, Gen. Lejeune said,
more than 1000 "self-confessed" Mic

their morale has been so worn down
by the activity of the Marines that they
are resorting only to hiding and avoid

PEASANT PREMIER
ADOPTSU. S. IDEALS
Rumanian Attache Describes
New Leader as Great Ad-
mirer of Lincoln.

Rumania's new National Peasant
premier, Julius MANU-. said to be a
great admirer of Abraham Lincoln, is
patternlng his government very largely
on American standards, according to
George Boncesco, financial counselor of
the Rumanian legation, who spoke on
conditions in his country last night at
the Georgetown University School of
Foreign Service.
Premier Maniu regards Lincoln as one
of his ideals, Mr.. Boncesco said, and
promises that his regime will be "a
government of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people
Although Rumania suffered heavily
during the war, her progress during the
last 10 years has been very marked, the
speaker said Based on the value of
national resources, he declared that the
average Rumanian is the fourth richest
citizen in the world, coming after the
American.
Compares Individual Finances.
Every Rumanian possesses theoret-
ically $2,808 and every American
$2,94l," he said. The richest according
to the World Economic Chart for 1927,
was the New Zealander with $3,3l7 and
the second, the Swiss, with 5000"
industrial upheaval as a result of the
war and outlined its plans for develop
ment of its resources Out of 1000 rail-
way engines, only 81 were left to op-
crate 5000 miles of track after the war,
he said. War and disease took 10 per
cent of the population and out of the
Russian revolution alone, he said, Ru-
mania lost S200,000,000 because the
crown jewels and gold reserve of the
National Bank had been sent to Mos
COW in 1917 for safekeeping.
Agrarian Reform Outlined.
According to Mr.. Boncesco, the great
est step In Rumania'S postwar eco
nomic program was the agrarian re-
form by which 30000O 900 acres of arabic
land, out of a total of 32,00O,000 acres,
passed from the hands of the old land
holders to about 100000 peasant fam
lilies. This action stabilized the coun-
try and saved it from bolshevism.
Despite the severe losses which the
war entailed the Rumanian budget has
been balanced for five years and the
country is now engaged in the intensive
development OF her natural resources,
Mr.. Boncesco said, for Rumania is one
Of the largest cereal exporters in the
world and. next to. Russia, is the lead
ing petroleum producing country of
Europe.
