It was believed the reservations would be generally ac- | ceptable.
 Experts from the various deleca lions met today to discuss aircraft carriers, which thus far have como only perfunctorily into the conversa- tons; there are other technical problems also to occupy their at tention, much Of the work which 1t was thought had been done now being revealed as incomplete.

 It was pointed out that under the agreement there would be only about 2O,000 tons of cruisers to Dc laid down in Japanese yards, com- parativcly no destroyers and no cap tal ships or submarines. Tho report of this ub-committcc is expected carly next week.
 Nations Reserve Flights
 As far as Japanese reservations regarding her right again to raise the question of her naval desires at the 1935 conference are concerned, it was said Great Britain and the United States also had reserved the right again to express their desires and position at that time.
 On the question of replacing vcs- scls before the age limit has been reached, it is understood Great Britain may desire some acceleration of their building in order 10 keep her dockyards likely busy, it was said. however. this would not be eX- tcnsiNc involving only some small G. inch gun cruisers. The British accol- cration plan will be worked out at tho same time as the Japanese.
 No such plan will be necessary for tho United States since she has done less building in the past eight years than the othc4s. The general eX- pcctation is that the scrapping Of vessels win be planned to take place before the end of 1881.

 Professor William Z. Ripley. liar yard economist, agreed with the principle stated by Atterbury, that, as long as the New York Central railroad had control of the Boston X; Albany, the Pennsylvania should continue it's tie-up with the New Haven.
 Ripley also believed the Balti- more Go Ohio road and the roads of the Van Sweringens were valuable neighbors of the New England roads.

With regard to the proposed southern New Englan1 railroad be- tween Palmer, Mass. and Prov- dence, R. l., Ripley said that it was not advisable to go ahead with it unless it could be shown that New England needed more railroad mile- age and could not be satisfactorily served by it's present properties.

Money and a job have already
been given to John Bernard

to The washington Times to ar
range for the sale Of his body
when he dies so that he might
get funds now to keep from starv--
ing.
Travis explained that his
mother and two brothers had
died from cancer and that he
wishes to offer his body when he
dies to be used in experiments to
combat the disease.
A Washington nurse responded
to Travis appeal by sending IS
to The Times to be turned over
to him and a Virginia farmer Of
fered to give him a job operating
a seven-acre farm below Alexan-

DOCTOR SCORES
D. c. HEALTH

The public health and hospital
facilities of the Nations Capital
have a very poor standing when
compared with those Of other
cities of equal size, DR.. w. F.
Walker. field representative Of
the American Public Health Ser
vice, told members Of the Coun.
Gil of Social Agencies yesterday
at a luncheon meeting in the
Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation Building.
With all services considered,
DR.. Walker stated, this city has
a standing of only 73 per cent
when compared with other large
cities. He stated that approx
mately only $1.28 per capita was
being spent for health facilities
here and declared the expendi-
ture should be between 50 and So.
DR.. Walker declared that one
of the most grave problems the
Capital is confronted with is the
tubercular problem. He recon-
mended sound tuberculosis bu-
reau as an agency of the District
Health Department with a full.
time and well-trained director. In
listing causes of deaths in the
District, DR.. Walker placed tuber-
c,11nSiS in third Dlace.
The speaker urged expansion in
the maternity hygiene service, de-
cIaring that the death rate among
children one week old could be
lowered by establishment of pre-.
natal clinics and similar SER
vices. There is also need, he said,
for greater work in infant welfare
service, to give proper attention to
children in their first year.
