CHAPTER XJJX


Dana had entered the hospital
end was making her way to the
information window. The girl
clerk looked at her curiously. 1t
was only mOmentary curiosity.
From her post back of the grill,
she had looked into tragic faces
many times before.
II want to see Dr.. Stanley"
Dana gasped.
! The girl hesitated and Dana
cried imploringly. please, Pm
Mrs. Stanley. He sent for me-"
! ooh, Mrs. Stanleyw The girls
voice changed. "Dr. Robertson
left word he was to be called
when you arrived"
Dana whispered, "Piease hur-
ry."
Gust q moment" The alert
young woman went to . desk and
lifted the received of a house
phone. She smiled at someone
across the desk as she did so.
People in hospitals became so
accustomed to suffering. Things
that meant life and death to Other
people were routine to them.
Scott was hurt. He might be dy-
ing! And this girl was smiling at
someone.
Dana's pleading voice reached
the clerk again, ooh, won't you
hurryp
The young woman at the phone
frowned slightly. She thought,
"She's hysterical. Maybe she's a
mental case. Anyway, she looks
like ono with her wild eyes and
hair flying that way"
Someone on the fifth floor was
answering. and she said. Or.
Robertson is either in 514 or $50.
Please tell him Mrs. Stanley is
waiting here
She felt relieved when she saw
Dr.. Robertson coming, his face
wearing the professional calm
which might mean GOOD news. or
news that was very bad indeed.
Fright this way. Mrs. Stanley"
DR.. Robertson said. He wes feel
inc. an immense surprise. He had
not expected her to show up. And
here she was, looking ready to col
lapse. She was probably the emo
tional kind. But even with her
hair turbled, her face white, and
her eyes strained and anxious,
Won could see she was beauty.
There probably hadn't been any
truth in the report that she was
going to marry Ronnic Moore to-
night. Garhled stories got out.
Cnlv heaven knew how.
They got off on the fourth
floor. The pungent smell of ether
filled the long hall. Through open
doors there were Glimpses Of wan
faces against pillows. In other
rooms, relatives and friends
grouped about convalescentS. In
another room, Dan saw q hagGard
woman keeping 2 lone watch by a
bed.
DR.. Robertson had brought
her to a sunporch. "I'll come back
for YOU" he said, patting her

PARK ADMISSION
CHARGE WEIGHED
Fee for Shenandoah Visitors Con.
sidered-Ickes Has Not
Passed Plan.

The National Park Service has
under consideration charging an ad-
mission fee to Shenandoah National
Park in nearby Virginia after January
l, but Secretary Ickes has not yet
approved this plan, 1t was learned
today.
A. E. Demaray, associate director
Of the National Park Service, disclosed
that consideration is being given to a
charge in the Shenandoah Park
similar to that in the Western parks.
This money, he explained, would be
used for administration, maintenance
and development. Congress takes into
consideration, in making appropria-
tions for the various parks, the reve-
nues they are producing, Demaray
said.
Demaray could not say exactly what
fees might be charged at Shenandoah,
but explained that the admission
would be nominal"
For many years admission has been
charged the public to the Grand
Canyon, Yellowstone and other West
ern parks. In some cases, however,
season tickets are sold.
Skyline Drive, which ultimately will
extend some 80 miles from Front
Royal, Va, to near Waynesboro, Va,
is one of the major features Of Shen-
andoah National Park.

The official said the orders were
necessitated primarily by a shortage
of glass, caused by strike in the fiat
glass industry, although the possibility
Of further strikes in General Motors
own plants also was a factor.
Widespread Closings Feared.
Continuation of the glass strike for
two weeks more might cause wide

If that strike should be settled, or

NAVY AGAIN FAILS
| WITH COPPER BIDS
No Offers Made in Second
TriaI-Department Is
at Loss.

Receiving no offers In reply to its
second advertisement for bids on g.
100000 pounds OF copper, the Navy
Department today was at a loss where
to turn for the metal, needed for
making brass and other equipment at
navy yards.
The Walsh Healey act, under which
firms doing business with the Gov
ernment cannot work their employees
more than 40 hours q week without
added compensation, is blamed partly
for the plight Of the department.
There has been an increase in de-
mand for metals with the rising tide
of industry, and more copper Is being
used. Domestic sales from Thursday
to Saturday of last week showed 6,801
tons of copper, the Department Of
Commerce reported. a smaller amount
than for the corresponding period the
previous week, and l70,266 tons Of
copper have been sold thus far this
month.
Not q Single Bid.
Not a single bid was received when
the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts,
Navy Department, was ready to open
offers at II am. today. There was
only a communication from the Mas
sau Smelling & Refining Co. of Tot
tenville, N. Y, informing the depart
ment that there Is shortage Of
copper"
The Navy's last call for bids was on
| December 9 and none was received
then.
What the Navy will do was not
clear to officials today. There was no
information whether another call for
| bids will be made later.
| Forty Hour Compliance Discounted.
Officials at the United States Bureau
of Mines pointed out that most smelt-
ers operate on a seven-day schedule,
working three shifts Sc hours a week,
and thus could not bid on the Navy
Departments offer without violating
the provisions of the Walsh -Healey act
or instituting the 40-hour week.
With the rising market price of
copper and most of the companies
mining and smelling copper selling
to manufacturing subsidiaries, the
likelihood of their complying with the
40-hour-week provisions of the act is
not considered great.
Secretary of Labor Perkins, who is
charged with enforcement of the
Walsh -Healey act, said today she did
not care to comment on the situation
until she had received a report from
the Navy Department. She already
is on record, however, against any
blanket exceptions which would apply
to an entire industry.

COCHRAN AGAINST
SUNDAY LIQUOR
Missouri Democrat Voices
Opposition in Letter to
Commissioners.

Sale Of liquor by the drink in WASH
ington on Sunday as provided in the
Dirksen bill was bitterly opposed to-
day by Representative Cochran, Dem.
ocrat, of Missouri.
Cochran, an outstanding wet in
Congress during the battle for repeal
OF prohibition, in letter to the Dis
trict Commissioners, declared:
Permit the sale of liquor on Sunday
In the Nations Capital and you will
be placing In the hands Of those who
favor prohibition a weapon that will
return to plague you.
IF the direct question to permit the
sale of liquor in Washington on Sum-
day is ever voted upon in Congress,
I will be the most disappointed man
in the city If at least 95 per cent Of
the members do not reject the
proposal"
Cochran's letter was inspired by the
public hearing Monday on Dirksens
bill as well as 10 other measures which
made up the tentative legislative pro-
81 alIl Va GllC SOillul1oolOllClS Lie
coming session of Congress. In view
of the vigorous opposition registered
at the hearing to the Sunday liquor
sale bill. the Commissioners are not
expected to indorse it. However, the
author, Representative Dirksen, Re-
publican, of Illinois, is expected to re-
introduce 1t at the coming session of
Congress, although in modified form.
The bill, in its present form, specifi-
cally provides for liquor to be sold by
the drink until am. Sunday, and on
the same day from pm. to IL mid
night. Dirksen probably will elimi-
nate the / pm. to IL midnight sale in
his new bill. He is known to believe
that the present law, requiring sale by
the drink to stop at II midnight Sat.
urday. is not conducive to temperance.
Cochran told the Commissioners
Dirksen represents in Congress a dis
trist in which a large quantity Of
liquor is manufactured.

U.S.FUNDS SOUGHT.
IN DISEASE FIGHT.
S25, ,0O0,0 600 Asked by Ses'

Wide Campaign.

After urging a Federal appropria-
ton of $25,000,000 and an amendment
to the social security law to facilitate
q 48-State campaign against venereal
disease, the first national conference
ever called to formulate fight to
eradicate this evil came to an en- I to-
day. The final sessions were held at
the Commerce Department Audito-
rum.
DR.. Thomas Parran, surgeon gen.
eral of the United States Public
ference, was asked to submit the re-
quest for the money at once to the
President and Congress as IAN iname-
diate emergency"
More than 100000 new cases of
this deadly infection develop each
year." DR.. Arthur T. Mccormack,
public health commissioner of Ken
lucky, told 800 doctors and laymen
gathered in the Public Health Build
ing Auditorium.
DR.. Mccormack. who is president
elect of the United States Public
Health Officers Association, added
that adequate facilities for diagnosis
and treatment Of the diseases are
rarely" available to the afflicted in
dividual, and that public health facili-
ties for control are totally inadequate
s25,oOo.oOo Held Necessary.
The prevalence of syphilis and
gonorrhea has been a matter of some
dispute among the experts attending
the conference, although all are in
agreement that it is widespread, with
one estimate that 100000 men and
women are afflicted with one or the
other of the two social diseases.
Figures gathered in Maryland an
nually since 1918 indicate that syphi-
lis is more prevalent than measles, DR..
r. H. Riley. Maryland State director
of health, reported. An examination
of 4,011 food handlers in Buffalo, N. Y.
disclosed that 23e, or per cent, suf-
fered from this highly contagious
plague.
Physicians Reports.
An exact picture of prevalence has
been impossible to attain in past years
1t was said, because private physicians
do not in all cases report syphilis OF
gonorrhea. To increase the number
of reports, the Rochester, N. Y, de-
partment of health offers physicians
81 for each report of primary syphilis
ST for each report Of secondary, 81
for each report of latent and So fol
each report of source Of contact.
Studies in Boston, said DR.. Haywood
Emerson of that city, have disclosed
that l per cent of expectant mothers
are afflicted with the plague, and he
added that among certain racial
groups in New York City the aver
age rises as high as 10 per cent.
The lowest prevalence of the dis
ease in any group was discovered
among 10000 students at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, where the aver
age was two-tenths Of 1 per cent, Dr.
Emerson said.

CLOSE WATCH KEPT
ON MEXICAN BORDER
Texas Prosecutor Says America Is
Cooperating to Block Revo-
lutionary Activities.
By the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
LAREDO, Tex, December 30.-Dis-
trict Attorney John A. Walls said yes.
terday both the American ard Mexi-
can Governments are determined that
no Mexican revolutionary activities
will be tolerated on either side of the
border.
The Walls statement was made
shortly after Gen. Nicolas Rodriguez,
exiled chief of the Mexican Gold
Shirts" passed through this frontier
city en- route to El Paso. He expects
to return to Laredo, his headquarters,
in few days.
Gen. Rodriguez attributed recent
troop movements in Mexico to the
general situation" particularly with
regard to Leon Trotzky and COM
munism, in the southern republic.
Walls said the Governments of the
United States and Mexico were work.
ing in close cooperation to forestal
any violation of neutrality laws and
to prevent munitions of war crossing
the boundary illegally.
His comments were taken as con-
frmation of reports the Mexican gov.
ernment, in sending 500 cavalrymen
to strengthen border garrisons and
patrols last week end, was taking &C.
tive steps to prevent smuggling Of
arms and ammunition.
Gen. Rodriguez expressed an opinion
the troop movements were due in part
to a desire Of the Mexican govern.
ment to impress fear on the peo-
pie in order to allow Leon Trotzky
and numerous Spanish Reds to land at
Vera Cruz"
He claimed the people of Mexico de.
plore the asserted spreading of COM
munism in that country. and that the
coming of Trotzky from Norway next
month is opposed by several large la
Dor organizations, "as we'll as the
people of Mexico generally"
The general denied the troop move
ments were directed toward dissolu.
| ton of his ''Dorados" or Gold Shirts"
an organization in disfavor with the
Cardenas government. 1t was because
OF Rodriguez's activities as leader of
this organization that he was deport-
ed several months ago.
Rodriguez reiterated the Gold
Shirts" are pledged to fight commun-
ism in Mexico and will do so to the
very end"

NEW COAL CONTROL
PLANS CONSIDERED
Operators Hoping to Write
Marketing Sections of
Guffey Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCIATED PreSS.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va, December 30-Two definite pro-
posals for Federal regulation of the
soft coal industry lay before its lead
ing operators today as they continued
discussion of a new Guffey control
bill.
Assured that Senator Guffey. Demo-
crat, Of Pennsylvania, would intro
duce bill In Congress this Winter to
replace the act outlawed by the Su-
preme Court, the operators studied
both proposals with a view to writing
at least the marketing provisions OF
the new measure.
Differences Technical.
Differences between the two sug-
gested measures, one advanced by j
D. A. Morrow, president of the Pitts
burgh Coal Co. and the other by
Charles P. ONeill, Central Pennsyl-
vania producer, were largely technical.
Each would provide for the sale of
coal at a price above the cost of pro-
duction. with drastic modification oi
the antitrust laws as they affect the
industry.
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, has let it be
known he will support whatever mar
keting provision the operators want
in a new bill If the union is assured
cut-throat competition AMONG pro-
ducers will be eliminated.
Competitive Factors Involved.
So many competitive factors are in
volved in any legislation, however
that it is hard for the operators tc
get together.
During debate on the first Guffey
bill, nearly two years ago, they were
split into two warning camps. each
claiming to represent the greater part
of the industry.
Both factions were represented al
the current conference, which started
yesterday with session of commit
tee Of 20 lasting far into the night.
