proposes ncalLn aS tHc lHSt niiu A"""' appropriate object for national ac- ton.
 The obvious reason for that de- cision is that we know how to pro- ceed in the fight for health. Medi- cine has perfected it's techniques Public health administration has worked out in detail the means of applying them in many American states and communities. The poll tical scientist and the economist have not similarly perfected their methods.
 We cannot let men and women die, children grow up to weakness and disability while we are waiting for a Utopia of economic reform to be ushered in.
 Recently a conference met in Washington to consider the first national plan for health. Drawn by experts who based their recom- mendations on four-year study of needs, the plan was laid before the President in February. It was he who suggested the conference which brought together physicians, public health officials, industrial, agricul- tural, labor, and consumer leaders to consider the findings and ex- press their opinions on the pro- posals which were made.
 Common, ordinary folks are be- ginning to get the idea that we know how to do good deal more than is being done to keep them well and to cure them when they are sick. The findings of the Tech nical Committee on Medical Care, which drafted the proposals, veri- fled that popular impression. It found maternal care to be inade- quate, that our efforts to conserve child health fall far short of what needs to be done, that hospital fa- cilities are insufficient, and that a great gap exists between what we know and what we do for the health of the people.
 COMMITTEE
 PROPOSALS
 The committee recommended a 10-year program of health and med ical care which will call ultimately for an expenditure of $850, ,000 000 year by federal, state, and local governments. That program in- volved:
 1. The establishment of ade- quate and competent public health organizations in every community under local auspices, with state su- pcrvision, and federal financial and technical aid.
 2. The expansion of hospital fa- cilities to make urban hospitals more adequate and to provide health and diagnostic centers in areas now inaccessible to hospitals.
 3. New and intensive efforts to save the lives of mothers and ba- bies.
 4. A program of grants-in- aid to the states to provide medical care for the needy: (a) those for whom state and federal governments have accepted responsibility under the Social Security Act and, (b those who. although able to provide their own subsistence from their own resources, are not able to procure adequate medical care when serious illness strikes.
 GREATEST AID
 FOR GREATEST NEED
 Development under all proposals would follow the pattern of action already SO successfully demonstrat- cd under the Social Security Act. It would involve grants-in-aid to the states, progressive development over a 10-year period, and the giv- ing of the greatest aid where the greatest need exists.

With a wary glance into the hall behind him, he caught her shoulders and shook her warn- ingly; but as she continued to giggle in helpless mirth, he caught the infection, and they stood, clinging together and rocking with stifled laughter Until, for no reason at all, they were looking at each other with startled, so- bered eyes. And then he had her in his arms, crushing her to him.
 After a moment Tran cried, her palms against his chest, "Nol Nol I we mustn't"
 "Why not?" he demanded, his lips close to hers. You know I've been wanting to do this ever since that first day - when you burst in- to Emergency remember? .. You were so little and funny and scared and sweet Why not, Agility"

 "'Student nurses" young Dr. Benchley countered with another quotation from the same source - "'are urged to be constantly alert to cooperate with physicians in any way"
 At sight ofs her suddenly whit ening face he turned sharply.

Frances Busiest Port Expands Again

CIANT cranes, swinging 450-ton V concrete blocks to extend a. man-made peninsula, signal a new prosperity for Marseille. Frances busiest port. Long called the Gateway to the Orient" the city annually is host to some 6700 ships which anchor at her docks, and increasing traffic has now taxed facilities.
 So new canal is being dredged to expand the city's docks on a neighboring salt lagoon, a new basin and new docks near com- pletion at cost of $100,000, a 100-yard baggage counter is being built to speed up inspection of passengers. More than 100000 ocean travellers pass through Mar seille yearly.
 From Marseille ships sailing to 200 world ports carry chiefly tex tiles, flour, machinery. Incoming vessels from French Indo-China, North Africa, Italy, other parts of the globe, carry wine, olive oil, nuts, leather goods, spices, tea, coffee and dried fruits. Visitors from these ships find much inter- esting in the historic old city, very often climb to the basilica, Notrc Dame de la Garde, there to view the panorama of the entire port. The basilica is shown here on 1880 French airmail stamp, showing plane flying over Mar cai1Io

course; but "the icicle" was one who believed that probationers should be seen and not heard.
 And how, Tran wondered, was girl to get along in this strange world unless she could ask ques- tions? Needless to say she did - 1 to such an extent that before long the nickname of Utility" began to give way to '"The Elephants Child"
 Once or twice she managed 10 slip into one of the rooms where the cases of shining, wicked-look- ing surgical instruments stood This was one of the few things no one had thought of telling her she must not do without permission. Standing before the glass doors, she would practice calling off as many of the names as she could remember. She would even practice operating room procedure with the scissors every nurse wore tucked into the back of her belt skipping them smartly from one hand to the other, the way Miss Miller, in one of her more com municative moments, had told her you slapped, instruments into the surgeons hand when you were on duty in the operating room - call ing them off in turn as she did so in kind of antiphonal chant in which she sang both parts.
 "Scalpel" That was SUD- posed to be Dr. Sargent's clipped, peremptory voice requesting a knife =. "Scalpel" That was Nurse Dearborn's crisp con- firmatory echo as she slapped the desired instrument into his rub ber-gloved hand >"Retractor - Slap "Retractor" "Hae- mostat'-Slap - "Haemosta" Sponge" - Slap - Sponge" ,. "Forceps"-Slap-"Forceps".
 One day, when she had progressed triumphantly from "Scalpel" through a miscellaneous list of freshly learned terms to "Suture", her eyes as gravely intent in her pale face as if life and death hung upon her efficiency. faint noise made her whirl. The noise had a familiar sound-like cross between a sneeze and a sob.
 Leaning against the door-frame behind her, his hands in the pockets of his white coat, was young Dr. Benchley.
 Might I ask" he spoke with exaggerated respect, his dark eyes dancing in his ugly, charming face -"whether this is tonsilectomy, an appendectomy, or an amputa- tion? Because from the wicked assortment of weapons you seem to be using, I should say it must be nothing short of mayhem"

I find myself contrasting Washing

nations who are pleased to designate
themselves leaders, some of those very
little men who are strutting about in
big mems clothing, in gaudy uni
forms, in patent leather boots and
clanking sabers; little men who are
the self-anointed and self-appointed
saviors Of harassed, confused, ter
rorized millions; who have ignited
the dread fires of racial and religious
hatred, who regiment little boys to
march with gun and dagger. who
talk of humans as cannon fodder, OF
war as delightful, ecstatic adven-
ture; little men who will stop at
nothing to further selfish ends, to
enhance personal glory"
Washington was truly great, de-
clared the speaker, because he was
modest" She characterized "toler-
ance" as one of Washington's out
standing characteristics and quoted
literally from friendly letter written
by him to the Hebrew Congregation
of Newport, R. /.
In Introducing Mrs. Norton, Henry
H. Schaffer, commander in chief Of
the Jewish War Veterans, declared
that wherever the observer of world
affairs casts his eyes outside Of the

alleged superiority of ancestry"

endless cable operated by steam power

moved between the tracks just below
the level of the street. A mechanical
grip arrangement beneath the car
gripped the moving cable and could
be released by lever to stop the car
Carl w. Mitman, Smithsonian head
curator of arts and industries, said
the cable railway is characteristic of
a quaint phase in the history Of ur-
ban transportation, which in less
than half century has been almost
completely forgotten" For a time it
seemed the best answer to the urban
transportation problem as successor
to the horse car" Of Civil War days,
