plan was suggested by Douglas in
his redraft.
They also denied that any other
feature of the proposed legislation,
except the retirement clause, had
been taken up. Douglas was un-
derstood to have submitted also a
more explanatory provision relat-
ing to abrogations of contracts
and to have modified the proposal
to furlough Army officers at half
pay and curtail flying pay of
Army, Navy and Marine Corps
aviators.
Divided On Annuities
One of the features that has
beeing causing the subcommittee
considerable worry, it was
learned, is just how much to pay
30-year employees as an annuity
if they are let out. Several mem
bers of the committee favor a
sum between $1,100 and $1,000
as against 5000 annually. which
is the figure provided by the pres
ent law.
Several hundred kilograms were
received today by the committee
from American Legion posts
throughout the country protest
ing against the proposed closing
of regional offices of the Veter-
ans Administration.

DOCTORS FLAY
HEALTH PLAN

BALTIMORE, April 27.-Legal-
ization Of the promotion OF
sweepstakes for the benefit Of
free hospital work in Maryland
was advocated at a meeting of
the medical and chirurgical
faculty here last night.
The meeting denounced the re-
port of the national committee
on the costs of medical care,
which suggested that group prac-
tice under a system of health in
surance might assure adequate
care for all at a reasonable fee.
This system would put the
medical profession in a medical
soup kitchen class" DR.. G. Mil
ton Linthicum, of the Univer-
sity of Maryland medical faculty,
charged. DR.. Linthicum made
the suggestion that legalization
of sweepstakes might be the best
method of raising funds to carry
on free work.
Action of insurance CON-
panies in having doctors bid
against each other for cases, re-
sulting in some cases in fees as
low as Is cents. was scored by
other speakers at the meeting.

Retirement Difficulties
Prove More Battling

REORGANIZATION and retirement
plans, interrupted temporarily by
the visits of foreign statesmen,
will be resumed shortly, but Of
ficials administering them have
been brought to a sharp realiza-
tion that they present much
mire serious problems than was
granted at first.
A Cabinet officer who has been
devoting much of his time to re-
organization expressed that feel
ing the words:
You can slash IS or 20
per cent with an axe, but after
that you have to use intelli-
gence."
Difficulties Grow
Growing recognition of the diff
ficulties involved, and solidifying
of the opposition to drastic
slashes, have brought about a
situation that may be Summa-
rized as follows:
l. About the only indiscrimi-
nate method of dismissals will
be through the operation of the
married persons clause.
2. Voluntary retirement of
Federal employees will be encour-
aged.
3. Selective retirement on an
nuities will be arranged for the
less efficient of the older en-
ployes, but those whose services
are of distinct value will be re-
tanned.
4. Reorganization plans in
any given unit will be consid.
cred with reference to the re-
quirementS of other Federal
organizations. For example,
the State and Commerce de-
partments will confer beginning
next week on plans for the for
eign trade service, which is due
for a Shake-up.
Whether the prospect of in
flation will save any jobs or ap.
preparations does not yet appear
The probabilities are that it will
not, but the probable rapidity of
the initiation would be a factor in
this respect.

CANCER CELLS
DAMAGED BY
RAYS RAID
2cience Group Sees Action OF
Treatment as Revealed
BY Cameras Eye

Motion picture views of short
wave ultraviolet rays in the act
OF damaging cancer cells and kill
ing IS types of germs were shown
for the first time at the opening
session today of the American
Physical Society spring meeting.
The observed marked damage
done to cancer cells by the rays,
which are found in ordinary sun
shine, may lead to employment
of artificial ultraviolet rays on
skin and mouth cancers, on which
only surgery, radium, and x-rays
now are used.
DR.. Ellice Mcdonald, Rachel
Franklin and A. j. Allen OF the
University of Pennsylvania cancer
research laboratory. obtained the
unusual "micromoving pictures"
Germs Paralyzed
AS short-wave ultraviolet light
does not penetrate ordinary glass,
the experimenters fitted a micro
scope and camera with quartz
glass lenses, through which the
rays would penetrate.
A tiny mercury vapor arc was
used as a source of ultraviolet
light. Living germs of the proto-
zoa family we're put in the field
of the microscope and the light
turned on.
In all cases, with the Is germ
types used, the switching on of
the ultraviolet light resulted in
a cessation of all movement by
the germs; that is, they were
paralyZed.
They Move No More
With only an instant's exposure
to the rays, the nuclei of the cells
changed color, as they do when
stained with certain dyes. In
none of the ray-paralyzed cells
was a resumption of movement
noted afterWard.
1t was observed that pro-
nounced chemical changes were
produced inside the germs and
cancer cells by the impact of the
rays, which are invisible to hui
man eyes.
The experimenters said they
hoped further study of the photo
graphs would reveal the nature
Of this reaction.

RALEIGH, Aug. II. = More

state director of unemployment
said today. More offices are to be
opened as rapidly as the neceS-
sary supplies and application
forms can be forwarded to them
The latest county re-employ-
ment committees appointed are
for Moore, Beaufort and Pasquo-
tank counties. The Moore county
committee is as follows: NJ. G..
Mcdonald. chairman, West End !;
w. II. Currie, Carthage; Howard
Burns, Southern Pines; j. Vance

Director Waynick is hoping to
be able to announce from four to
five county committees a day for
the next several days ard to have
the unemployment offices in these
counties open and functioning
within the next week or so. Re-
employment offices are already
open in Wake, Durham, Guilford,
Davidson and Forsyth counties
and will be open in at least ten
additional counties bv the end OF
this week. Waynick hopes.
No jobs are now available
either through the Raleigh Offices
or through any Of the county of
fees. Director Waynick pointed
out, so that it is useless for any
enc to come TO the Raleigh office
seeking a job OF to try to get one
from any of the county offices.
"For the time being. the only
thing any of these offices will do
will be to list and classify those
available for jobs" Waynick said.
"Thcn. later on when jobs become
available. those who have regis
tered as being available will be
notified. All we can do now. how
ever. is to register those who are
not now employed"

FUNDING OF
SMALL HOME
WILSON'S TASK
Will Seek To Get Farmers
On To Land, Yielding
A Living

WASHINGTON, Aug. II (UP)
The task Of redistributing the ma
TONS congestcd industrial popula-
tons has been delegated to M. L.
Wilson, Montana State College
professor who is directing the adj
ministration's campaign for wheat
acreage reduction.
Wilson will have $25, OOO,O
of public works funds at his COM
mand to accomplish three obJec-
tives: ,
Ito get farmers off bad land
and on to good soil that is capable
of yielding a living.
2--To get surplus working mon
out of cities into suburban areas.
3-To spread out industries,
removing them from congested
metropolitan areas and out in the
open where employees may live on
their own plot of ground.
The new subsistence homestead
director will continue to manage
the wheat campaign until various
county wheat production control
associations have been establish
ed. allotments made and first
benefit payments completed.
Administration officials believe
the homestead feature of the re
covcry drive will give real
chance to millions of families to
live a more rounded and secure
life. Some have said they see no
reason why many factories i'll
New York should not move fifty
or a hundred miles out into lcss
populated areas.
While governor of New York,
President Roosevelt experimental
with the idea of land planning.
He found that 20 to rs per cent
of the farm land in tho state was
Improbable and might better be
turned back to forest crops.
Mr. Roosevelt is interested in
deccntralizing industry. One New
York shoe manufacturer moved
into village. The workers either
lived in the village or on farms
within radius Of ten miles.
Federal subsistence homestead
projects arc expected to encourage
states to experiment also. The
whole idea is one of providing on
portunity by financing of small
homes.
In announcing Wilson's ap-
pointment yesterday, Secretary Of
Interior Ickes. public works ad-
ministrator, said the work to be
undertaken "is designed as a new
step in American life"
The program is to be dovctailed
with the administrations employ
ment and public works campaign.
