not a plaster cast made by a con-
Summate master of the art Each con-
volution is preserved perfectly, and
there is every reason to believe that
it will be just as perfect 200 years
hence. Thin slides of this brain can
be made from any angle for study by
classes or for distribution among brain
specialists wishing to examine some
particular abnormality Yet it is the
actual brain itself taken from a hu-
man body.
OF special interest to members of
the academy will be an exhibit of
more than $1,000 section slides of hui
man eyes, prepared under the direc-
ton OF 1t. Col. J. E. Ash, curator
Of the Army Medical Museum. from
specimens sent to Washington by
academy members from all over the
United States.
Museum Chosen as Depository.
This represents one of the most no.
table steps yet taken in making Wash
ington a world center Of medical ac-
tivities and education. The Army
museum has been selected by the acad-
envy as the depository of its COL
lection. Every time a member sur
geon removes an eye in which there
is any question of diagnosis or which
illustrates especially well some rare
eye malady the specimen is sent to
Col. Ash.
An intensive pathological examina-
ton is made and the physician in
formed Of the precise diagnosis. Then
the eye is preserved by very labori-
GUS method perfected at the Army
museum and very fine sections are
made of it which are preserved on
glass plates. These are kept in a
gigantic file here.
Under the arrangement any of these
slides will be mailed Immediately to
an eye specialist approved by the
academy anywhere in the United
States who wishes to study any path
illogical condition of the eye for his
own guidance in making a diagnosis,
or in order to orient himself precisely
in contemplated surgical operation.
Hitherto he would have had to rely
on text book drawings or photographs,
or his memory of his own graduate
training, or on specimens which might
possibly be seen at the nearest medi-
cal school or research laboratory. No
individual could possibly build up a
slide laboratory of this sort for him.
self. Scattering it in various medical
colleges would lead to great confusion.
With the present set-up the spe-
cialist's first thought is to telegraph
to Col Ash and he is almost certain
to receive Immediately slides illustrat-
ing the condition in which he is in
terested Practically everything that
can possibly go wrong with the human
eye is represented by one or more
cases in the collection.
Medical Books Prepared.
In addition, Col. Ash and his as
sociate, Capt Ebert De Coursey, have
prepared two unique medical books
Evening star., 1938-10-09

which will be exhibited tomorrow.
They have made thousands OF micro
scopic photographs of specimens from
every sort of eye, ear. nose and throat
disease. The books include hundreds
Of these photographs and complete
case reports of typical cases. The
original photographs are bound into
these books. no reproductions being
used because OF the possibility of
blurring some OF the microscopic de-
tails which are of paramount i'm
portance in diagnosis. That is, there
are separate sets Of photographs for
each copy. The original specimens
from which the photographs were
made will be open to the inspection
of the specialists tomorrow.
Several other national groups Of
specialists already have adopted the
same policy of building up national
registry collections in the custody Of
the Army Medical Museum. The
Army already has here the worlds
largest medical library. The whole
establishment thus promises to be-
come the great center of medical in
formation of the North American con-
tinent, II not of the world.
Another exhibit arranged for the
specialists tomorrow is complete
Photographic record of the thousands
Of articles taken from esophaguses by
DR.. Chevalier Jackson of Philadelphia,
ranging from whole sets of false teeth
to silver half dollars. Another Is q
record of all the jaw-setting appliances
in use anywhere In the world collected
by the late DIR. Dorrance of Phila-
delphia. The physicians were shown
preserved specimens of gunshot
wounds Of the eye. ear and throat
dating from Civil War days.
Historically the most interesting part
of this exhibit deals with the crude
efforts at plastic surgery attempted
by Civil War surgeons on soldiers with
parts of their jaws blown away or
with hideous facial deformities re-
sulting from wounds. Some of them
made models of their patients before
and after, and these have recently
been found in the Armys Civil War
collection.
Reception Tonight.
While there are no details as to
the methods Of plastic surgery used
and while this art is supposed to have
been of very recent development the
techniques, Col. Ash believes, were
probably crude approximations of
those employed today. The Civil War
doctor, however, had no conception
Of antiseptic surgery, and the pos
sibility of . successful skin graft
without infection probably was quite
remote. The bad results on the SOL
diers may have discouraged the art
of making new faces surgicslly until
the pressing need for it was revived
by World War casualties.
Judging from the models, however.
the Civil War surgeons were quite
proud of their few successful re-
suits. 1t is rather difficult to see from
their models that their patients ap-
peared much less hideous after the
operations than before.
The annual meeting of the academy
will get under way this afternoon
with reception in the Mayfiower BALL
room by President and Mrs. Harry s.
Cradle of Chicago. Scientific ses-
sions will start tomorrow with a joint
meeting of the three sections, fol-
lowed by section meetings.

FOREIGN POLICY

While some nave been confused by his policy with relation to Great Britain Secretary of State Hull has drawn steady distinction between parallel action and the joint" action of which he sometimes has been suspected.
 These distinctions have been preserved even in the nformaity of his daily press conferences during the course of the Chinese Japanese conflict
 As early as last July 1s he asked by the cor respondents who crowd around the long table in his conference room whether it this governments general attitude simply to exchange information with the British government and other governments inter- ested in the Chinese situation His reply was that it was this governments policy to deal separately and independently with the chief phases of any foreign questions which arise
 That was a bland general outline and the cores pondents pressed him to explain how such course would operate with relation to the nnepower treaty in which ma or nations pledged themselves to respect the territorial integrity of China. He replied that in dealing with phases of international ques ton there is some fexbility" to the policy when era nations find conditions and interests affecting them in common.
 One State Department official seeking to draw concrete Illustration suggested that it might be similar neghborhood in which one family is found to be noisy and troublesome If three neighbors hold preliminary conference what to do and then move in on the neghborhood nuisance in body with a demand that the noise be stopped, that is joint action" Each neighbol would be somewhat obligated to assist the others in event the troublesome party started swinging fists
 But it is simply "paraler action if each of the neghbors goes individually to protest It still sim ply parallel" action if they meet to exchange data on what is happening without agreeing to make united protest It still parallel" action if each neighbor after such an exchange of data decides to write a note to the neighbor call on him in person independently to kick about the racket The other neghbors then are not obligated to in if fists begin to fly.
 Repeatedly Secretary Hull has insisted that this latter procedure far the United States has gone in its parallel" action with Great Britain in efforts to restrain Japanese aggression.
 On July Is he issued broad outline of policy part of which stated We avoid entering into alli- ances entanglng commitments but we believe in cooperative effort by peaceful and practicable means in support of the principles hereinbefore stated"

There Are Human Beings Behind the
 Dollar Signs
Philadelphia Record)


 Washington DC is the most prosperous city in the world. Most of it's citizens work for the Govern ment Business huns year in and year out because Washington always is the last city to feel the pinch of depression
 Too often officials in Washington forget these facts Too often they tend to judge the condition of the country by what they see around them. Few in Washington were disturbed recently by Secretary Morgenthau's statement that under the present law covering WPA appropriations 450,O00 more WPA workers will have to be fired before July
 We believe Congress will change that law, We believe President Roosevelt when he finally realizes he plight of the millions already fired from WPA, will keep his promise that they will be given useful work.
 But while the people in Washington most of them, not disturbed by MT Morgenthaus state ment millions elsewhere disturbed
 Just as the atmosphere of Washington is deceptive in its relation to the condition of the country so do the bookkeepers in Washington tend to become even further detached from national realities They deal n plus and minus signs They figure in billions and fill in dollar signs, while the calculating machines hum And when they columns of figures which don't agree-it is very simple to say Subtract 45O0o0"
 But what is 45OOO0?
 To them it is just figure. Even if it has dollar But behind every dollar sign is human being. Behind every subtraction on the books there is corresponding subtraction of sustenance from home which has little enough now. Behind every subtrac-
 
 tion there is subtraction from the purchasing power of the whole nation.
 In Washington, it's easy to forget those facts
 That's why men like Secretary Morgenthau over look the terrible effect which casual statements about the Topping off of 450000 workers the cutting of WPA appropriations, have in thousands of homes homes in which each dollar sign on the books at Washington is bread and butter shoes and rent homes in which such statements send cold chils to the hearts of the man on WPA, and his wife, who is striving to make that work relief keep the children in school.
 If we're going to feed them-lets feed them
 If we're going to fire them-lets fire them
 But let's not keep them in torture by bandy talking about balancing the budget with the symbols of their very existence.
