There were definite indications
this Government wanted nothing

any of the other parties to the

Little difference was seen be-

a security pact in the Far East
and promise to guarantee aid to
every country in Europe, big or
little, that became involved in
war with it's neighbors.
The view prevailed that if war
breaks out in Europe on a large

Far Eastern nations are involved.

PLANS
MEDICAL
CENTER
Would Consolidate Hospitals
Here Into Single 1000, 900
Institution for Sick

Combination of local hospitals
into a new medical center to be
constructed at a cost Of approx
mately $6,00O,000 was proposed
today by District Commissioner
George E. Allen.
The proposed center, CommiS.
sioner Allen said, would be self
liquidatiing, nonprofit institution
which would serve as testing
laboratory for the growing needs
of society in adequate medical
care at reasonable costs and the
development of our newer con-
cepts of community medicine
with emphasis on preventative
care of the people. He said:
ITO me its an ideal. 1 realize
the difficulties which confront
u.s."
Under the plan all Of the private
hospitals would retain their en-
titles as organizations with their
own boards of directors, and the
medical unit would be controlled
by a joint board of administration,
composed of members representing
the directorate of the individual
hospitals.
Plans PWA Aid
The center would be financed
partly through PNNA funds and
the private endowments now exist
ing in the individual hospitals
would accrue to the combined unit,
under Commissioner Aliens pro
posal.
A committee of prominent
medical authorities and civic
and educational leaders will meet
with the Commissioner at ii
o'clock Wednesday to discuss
plans for the medical center.
In addition to the hospital
sections of the center, Commis-
sioner Aliens plan calls for a
medical school with divisions Of
undergraduate medicine, post
graduate medicine, hygiene and
public health, and tropical medi-
cine. The center would have a

Commissioner Allen said:
"Such a center might be so
constructed and planned that
medical care could be offered to
fit every purse ranging from 81
per day and up. At present we
have excellent provisions for
the millionaire class and for
the indigents, but no cOnsidera-
ton is given the small salaried
worker"
The planning committee Sc

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March
80 0N.SD Walter H. MCGEE
must pay with his life on the gal
lows for the kidnapping of Mary
McElroy, daughter of City Man
ager H. F. McElroy of Kansas
City, the State Supreme Court
ruled today in denying him an
appeal.
The date for his execution was
set by the Supreme Court as May
10. Unless Governor Park inter
venes, MCGEE will be the first per-
son in the United States ever to
be legally executed for kidnapping.
That Governor Park would
interfere with the execution was
considered unlikely in view of
his statement following McGee'S
conviction, July 81. 1888, in
which the chief executive lauded
the trial jury and indicated Nc
Gee could expect no clemency.
The governor said then:
"Kidnaping is vile crime
and the culprits should be put
to DEATH"
Appeal to the Federal courts
was believed unlikely in as much
as the Missouri law under which
MCGEE was convicted and SEN
fenced is not in conflict with
the Federal statutes, which under
