PARRAN PLEADS
FOR HEALTH WAR
TO BACK RELIEF.
Senators Told Illness
Ravages JobIess

O.N.S.) A national health pro
gram to curb disease among the
unemployed was urged before the
Senate Unemployment Committee
today by Surgeon General Thomas
Parran, head of the United States
Public Health Service.
Illness and disability is IL times
greater among the unemployed
than the employed, Parran said in
recommending legislation for a
concerted State and Federal CO.
operative program.
AS IMPORTANT AS FOOD
"Any legislation which deals
with the problem of unemploy-
ment and relief is incomplete
unless it recognizes that this
underprivileged group of the
population needs medical care
no less than food, shelter and
clothing" he said.
"a national program of health
is essential to any national plan
of rehabilitation. 1t will pay
dividends in dollars no less than
in human lives. Savings to the
nations economy will be appar-
ent Immediately. Saving over
the next decade will easily
amortize every dollar spent"
MOTHERHOOD STRESSED
Parran urged that the program
be directed in particular to better
care during pregnancy and child.
birth, protection of the health OF
children, good nutrition and sound
physical development in youth,
control of tuberculosis, syphilis,
pneumonia, cancer and other cat
aStrophic diseases.
Parran estimated that one-half
of the 125, 900 babies who died last
year were "lost unnecessarily" and
that at least one-half of the $4,000
mothers who died in childbirth
could have been saved.

IN own HANDS;
TRIAL NEAR END
Kidnap- Killer May Tell
Own Story to Jury

CHICAGO, March 16 Q.N.S).
John Henry Seadlund held his
life in his own hands today. The
slim kidnap-killer Of Charles S.
Ross will have to shoulder alone
any defense that is made in an
effort to save him from the elec-
trio chair.
Whether Seadlund would take
the chance Of telling his own story
to the jury was undecided few
hours before Federal court opened
for the final day Of his swift
trial under the Lindbergh kidnap
law.
PLEADED GUILTY
Although he has pleaded guilty,
a jury was impaneled to hear the
evidence in the case and deter
mine whether Seadlund should
pay the death penalty or be i'm
prisoned.
Seadlund couldn't make up his
mind at the close Of court yes
terday whether to take the stand.
His attorneys announced that the
defense would present no other
witnesses.
Only the reading of Seadlund's s
confession remained today to fill
out the Governments detailed and
brutal picture of Seadlund's crime
His lawyers asked for time over
night to read the 27-page docu'
ment before they agreed to its
submission to the jury.
PICTURES OF BODIES
seadlund listened unmoved yes,
terday as G-Men and others con
nected with the case told their
stories. A wry smile twisted at
the corners of his mouth as pic
lures were introduced showing the
bodies of Ross and Seadlund'S &C
complice, James Atwood Gray, in
the Wisconsin woodland hideout
seadlund's own story Of his
killing Ross and Gray was retolo
by Early Conelly of the Govern
ment forces that tracked down
the kidnaper.
