Showing of Panay Films
Just AnOtI,er ''Incident''
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, Like
millions of others, We have seen
both the Panay films; and in spite
of I1e perturbation of the State
Department as to the effect they
might have on the mass-American
mind, we were not moved to run
home and throw out our two Japan
csc prints
1t is well to report at this point
that we have encountered differ
ence of opinion. A few who saw
the films believed the effect would
be to incite additional anti-Japan-
csc feeling in the country.
Already there is a full pantry
of anti-Japanese activity in the
country disclosing itself in the form
of boycotts against Japanese goods
If the films excited increased boy
cotting, that might be something to
disturb the peace and security of
the State Department. Likely moth
ing could upset the State Depart
ment SO much in it's dealings with
Japan as to have Japan enter a
protest against an "unfriendly sem
timent" on the part of the Ameri-
can people.
After all, it was $50 the japanese
Said, only an unfriendly sentiment
on the part of the Chinese which
caused the Japanese to set about
taking over China.
REASONS AGAINST A BAN
There are three factors tending
to allay the disturbing effect the film
might have and these obviously
played a part in the State Depart
ment's decision to let them be shown
Officially the Department could
not have stopped the showing, but
the film companies recognized the
interest Of the government in es-
Gaping public excitement in trou-
bled time)
The three factors:
First: The story already has
been told in streams of news dis
patches which reported details and
background which the films, pho
Geographically exceptional as they
were, could not bring out.
Second: The incident is closed
Japan has already apologized. The
United States has accepted the apol-
| ogy.
| Third The pictures were given a
tremendous build-up as the first
filming of the actual sinking OF
an American warship. And the films
proved to a good many to be far
less exciting than a Hollywood
thriller.

COLLEGE PLAYERS PRESENT 'SHEKELS'
Passion Play By William Walsh to Be Staged in
 Burlington, Vt.

Winooski Park, Vt., March 23- More than 75 persons in Winooski and Burlington are cooperating in a ticket drive for the St. Michaers college players in the production of new passion play, "Shekels," by William Thomas Walsh of Water bury, Conn. The entire proceeds of the play will be given to the poor in the two cities. The play will be staged the afternoon and evening of April 10 at the Strong theater in Burlington.
 MT. Walsh, the author of the new passion play, is an alumnus of Yale. His recent book Philip l." was fla vorably reviewed in the New York Times. The Walsh treatment of the great Christian tragedy differs con- siderably from that used by Don Marquis, whose Dark Hours" was played by the Michaelmen last year
 Because the proceeds of the play will be used to help the poor in Bur lington and Winsooski parishes, several groups from the two cities are doing all they can to promote the sale of tickets.

 T congratulate Yeshiva College upon the completion of 8 half cen- tury of work in the field of educa- tion and it is of happy significance that the college should, in observing its golden anniversary, establish a scholarship to bear the honored name of Governor Cross. It is in- deed fitting that Jewish citizens of Connecticut should endoW this scholarship in Governor Cross honor and thereby associate the name of this distinguished educator with the fine cultural activities of the Yeshiva College. trust that for long years to come Yeshiva will up- hold the highest traditions of learn- ing and culture in preparing young mM for citizenship and their work in life"

 UN|CO'S GUEST
Dr. SOresi Comments on Specialization of Medi-
 cine; Public Attitude

Attitude of the public in it's re- lation to the medical profession was blamed for many of the faults in the profession by Dr. A. L. Soresi, famous surgeon and founder of the International Medical center of New York city, speaking last night at a dinner meeting of the Unico club at Hotel Elton.
 With Rev. Joseph Valdambrini presiding, a dinner was held by the club before the lecture at which Dr. Anthony P. Vastola of Waterbury introduced the speaker as "a great medical teacher, an author, a phil oSopher, and a diSSeminator of Ital- ian culture.
 "He is representative of that glorious italian School of Medicine which for ages has been contribut- ing discoveries of fundamental inn portance to the medical science" Dr. Vastola remarked of the speak CT.
 Warning against passage of legis- lation which might prove detrimen~ tai to medicine, Dr. Soresi, saying that he did not oppose socialized medicine, remarked:
 But why socialize medicine when nothing else is Socialized. The doc tor can exist in the capitalistic sys- tenn all right if people pay their bills. Many of them don't. A man knows that if he goes into res taurant and tries to get bowl of soup for nothing, he faces arrest if he persists. The same man can go to the most famous surgeon in the country and ask for the most complicated of operations, and get it, if he needs it, at no cost to him. self if he can't pay anything That's all right. All doctors take such cases. But it means that people who can pay must pay if the doctor is to pay bills along with everybody else
 The surgeon said that the pub lie is guilty of numerous errors in dealing with doctors, that too many persons judge the medical men by the fees they charge, or by a doc tors apparent prosperity; that the average patient tries to tell the doc tor what is wrong and what to do.
 If a patient dies as the result of an operation it's always the surgeon who is to blame. That's why in small towns and small cities, many doctors won't take dubious surgical cases. They know that if they lose the case they will be blamed and will lose business. Many times a small city doctor whoz turns over a doubtful case to a city man does it simply to avoid responsibility. He might be just as competent or more competent than the man in the city. That's bad situation, but it's the

Darien, Conn.,, March 23--CUP)- Dr. Alfred N Phillips, ST, benefited generously today from the public spiritedness of his great-grand- father who in 1857 deeded a school site to the town for $100.
 The town, no longer needing the property after constructing a new school elsewhere, offered the site to Dr. Phillips for $2,000, believing he would care to restore the land to the Phillips estate.
 The property, valued at $26,S0o on the town books, was readily pur- chased by pr. Phillips who mailed his check from Sarasota, Fla, where he is now vacationing.
