HEALTH IN NAVY
ON HIGHER SCALE
Admiral Rossiter, Surgeon
General, Gives Data in
Annual Report.

The Navy is getting healthier. Rear
Admiral p. S. Rossiter, surgeon gen.
eral and chief of the Bureau of Medi-
cine and Surgery, told Secretary
Swanson in his annual report today.
There was 13 per cent drop in the
general admission rate for diseases
and injuries in the Navy. said the ad-
miral, "due principally to q decrease
in the venerel diseases and the absence
of any epidemic Of communicable
diseases"
THE improvement in the health of
the Navy may be partly ascribed to
the increased effort in the field of
preventive medicine and the prompt
adoption and use of the latest ap-
proved methods in the treatment Of
disease and injury" wrote Admiral
Rossiter.
Owing to the large number of retire.
ments anticipated in the next few
months, said the report, 1t Is planned
to hold another competitive examina-
ton for the Medical Corps, beginning
December /, to fill existing vacancies
Flight Surgeons Scarce.
"There is an acute shortage in the
number of qualified flight surgeons" !"
said the admiral. Naval aviation is
expanding rapidly, but only a few
medical officers have requested train
ing in aviation medicine. 1t is believed
that the restoration of flight orders
to flight surgeons would stimulate
interest in this speciality, among junior
medical officers"
The Naval Dispensary here, which
renders professional service to officers
and men Of the Navy and their fam
flies in the District, had 67.925 calls
and consultations, 47.316 prescriptions
filled, and 1,217 physical examinations
made.
Speaking of the Naval Medical
School here, Admiral Rossiter said:
During the year class of 21 med
ical officers completed the six months
postgraduate course in naval medi-
cine. Three officers completed special
courses in histopathology and one
course in clinical pathology. A class
Evening star., 1936-11-18

Of eight enlisted men received . nine
months course In pharmacy. Twenty
six medical officers received post
graduate courses in various univer-
sites. One of these at the London
School of Tropical Medicine. Four
dental officers, two nurses, and five
pharmacists were given postgraduate
courses in civilian institutions. Six
members Of the Hospital Corps re-
ceived technical courses.
During the year a large volume
of laboratory work was done as q part
Of the schools duty as laboratory
and diagnostic consultory center Of
the whole Navy"
Civilian Personnel.
Referring to the civil personnel in
the bureau, Admiral RoSSiter said:
"The civilian component Of the bu-
reau, in general, has been maintained
at the appropriated strength Of 50
employees, although there continues to
be q considerable turnover In the lower
clerical grades resulting In an undue
loss Of production. This condition can
be remedied only by the adoption Of .
definite policy for promotions. During
the period Of July, 1890, to and in
cluding June 80, 1896, no admin
istrative promotions were made in the
bureau, partially due to legislative
restrictions, but chiefly as the result
Of insufficient appropriations and
various economy measures. Although
denied advancement or even prospect
thereof, the general morale of en-
ployes of longer service has remained
undiminished and Is evidence of the
high character and loyalty of the
bureau personnel. AS indicated above,
however, there is need for the adop-
ton of a systematic policy of reward
ing faithful and efficient service by
promotions at regular intervals"
Admiral Rossiter recalled that IAN
important event was the creation by
general order of the Naval Medical
Center, Washington, D. c., to consist
of the Naval Hospital, Naval Medical
School and Naval Dental School"
'The increase in dental officer per-
sonnel has necessitated an unusual
outlay Of funds to purchase sufficient
dental operating equipment. and every
effort is being made to provide the
necessary equipment with appropria-
tions available" declared the admiral.
Research work conducted by this bu-
reau to secure satisfactory illumination
for dental operations has resulted in
the adoption of new spotlight which
has proven of material assistance in
ships where natural illumination Is
restricted"

alton of Captain Frank OsWalt of

speech Thursday at the weekly

OsWalt was speaker on a program

OsWalt said, as many as 80 per cent
of the thousands of motorists COM
ing into this state at Yuma do not
have up to date license plates. Und-
er present conditions, these motor
lists register at San Diego or Los
Angeles. and as counties receive 40
per cent of the funds collected in
registration fees. this money could
come to Imperial county were the
registration facilities properly set up
here.
OSWalt talked in favor of the con-
struction of a special building near
the court house which would house
the many state offices which now
are paying rent at present loca-
tionS.

that property and life are endan-
gered by present district lines.
This. in effect. eliminates from
consideration in the case, those por
tions of the complaint which dealt
with alleged infringments of the
construction rules laid down by the
railroad commission.
The decisions were regarded as a
sweeping victory for Horton and his
assistant, George Kirk, in that the
company vii have difficulty in
proving the construction hazardous
in view of similar construction else
where in accepted areas. The COM
pany will have Is days in which to
file an amended complaint.
At only one time did counsel
turn from technical argument to
hot tempered remarks. That was
when Horton, in response to a state
ment from HickcoX, declared that
the power company's complaint was
made for legal obstruction.
1t is nothing but an effort to
embarrass the district" he declared.
L
struction are entirely trumped up.
As far as superior construction Is
concerned, the company is afraid
to appeal to the railroad commission
because they know that comparison

The power companys original
complaint seeking to stop the dis
trict from distributing power in
BraWley was primarily founded on
asserted violations of the railroad
commission rulings.
The courts ruling followed after
noon developments which included
argument by counsel for both sides,
and presentation of seven affidaVits.
The affidavits filed by the power
company were obtained from R. P.
Moore, vice president at Ell Centro;
Harry H. Miller. RiYersied, techni-
clan; and B. o. Mitchell The dis
trict filed only one affidavit, that

with technical rulings made by the
railroad commission and that the
court was not thus empowered to
pass on such questions. Ross It.
Hickcox. who with c. n. Parkins
and Charles Provence represented
the company, contended that as the
power to define had been given the

Continued from Page u
United Press reported that Ickes
vii not act on Johnsons protest
until it has been studied by the
bureau of reclamation. but he
gave full approval 10 the policy
of developing power on the All
American project
The secretary's policy was made
known before Hewes had sent him
telegram asking for a hearing
before any action is taken adverse
to the peoples power program.
The wire said:
We are advised Governor Blsod
of Utah has filed protest with you
and has also asked governors Of
Colorado. Wyoming and New Mex
ic3 to JON him in protesting power
development on All American canal.
We would like very much 10 have
copy of any protest filed with you
and ask that you stay any action
until we can have an opportunity
TO answer the same. The best IN
formation We have at the present
time is that their protest + filed
is entirely without foundation and
in our opinion is merely another
method that the Southern Sierras
Power company is using 70 bl1ck
our power development program.
By Misrepresentation to others and
having them indirectly act in their
behalf they hope to accomplish that
which they cannot successfully do
working in the open themselves. >.
Victory Seen
After learning of Ickes' statement,
HeWes declared that, In my opi-
Mon. any indirect method that the
SierraS may hope to use
in an attempt to block our PR
gram as evidenced by their latest
in getting upper basin
states TO take part in our local
will be met by the
same careful consideration on the
part of the secretary as evidenced
IN his statement today. Secretary
Ickes is wise to all their means of
trickery."
Chief Counsel Harry w. Horton

the irrigation district saw in the
statement an indication
of ultimate defeat for the private
power company in its battle against
public interests.
1T is good thing for the val
ley" said Horton. that the gov
ernment is Fundamentally behind
the power development along the
canal. It is clear that Ickes' state
ment is an indication that the
stubborn unWarranted fight Of the
power company will meet with
ultimate defeat"
This splendid stand on the part
of Secretary Ickes and the admin
istration,s Dowd said, assures ul-
innate success of the project. The
people Of the district certainly will
show their appreciation Of the pub
lie statement of Ickes approving the
development.
by passage of the swing-John-

were given specific authority to de-
velop and utilize the power on the
