Broin TwizzIers
By PROF. J. ID. FLINT,

4 TRAPPER in the North woods had
been having a hard time finding
game and when he came upon little
settlement he was very tired He had
with him only large piece of choco-
late, the kind that comes in big. thick
bars. 1t was carefully wrapped and
the natives displayed great interest,
because that sort of thing was rare
delicacy to them. This interest gave
the trapper an idea and he finally
made deal with one of the natives to
give him food and lodging in return
for inches of the chocolate bar per
day each day for a week The whole
bar was IA inches long and he didn't
want TO break it up in more pieces
than necessary so he figured out way
to cut the bar in the least number of
pieces so that he could use the pieces
to make change each day. 1t seems
like a silly idea, but it worked out.
Can you figure out the least number
of pieces necessary and how the trap
per paid and made change each day?

the Seventh International Manage

for the session by r. R. Zimmerman.
director of personnel of the Federal,
today.
His article, to be discussed at the
congress, is on Developments in
Group Health Plans for Wage Earn
ers" and declares that from the
point of view of the medical pro-
fession the mutual cooperative
(health) association offers an entirely
ethical and constructive basis for in
creasing the volume of medical prac-
tice."
1000 Delegates Expected.
More than 1000 delegates are ex-
pected to attend the congress. Twenty
foreign countries already are rep
resented among the enrolleeS. Ameri-
can representatives will include lead
ers of big corporations, publishers and
educators.
Mr.. Zimmerman in his article points
to two group health plans now in ex-
istence-one which includes hospital
service on periodical prepayment
basis, but without medical care, and
the second, which provides both hos
pitalization and medical care on a
prepayment basis

generally.
Some evidence has accumulated"
the article states, ito show that doc
tors enjoy higher incomes under group
practice than they previously enjoyed
through the collection of fees in pri-

At another point the article con-
tends that "the employees association
clearly encourages a more intelligent
and wider use of medical services and
places the practice of preventive medi-
cine on basis where it can provide
remunerative employment for physi-
clans, laboratory specialists, nurses and

Interested in Economies.
Most laymen," Mr.. Zimmerman
states, "are not interested in the
technical advantages of group prac-
tice, important as these may be. Theg
are. however, keenly alive to the pos
sibiities for medical economies and
are becoming increasingly aware of
the need for some simple. effective

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, Nov. 15-(UP)-Sec- retary of State Hull was seen today as having delivered two diplomatic blows at Germany by ordering Am bassador Hugh R. Wilson home from Berlin for report and consulta- tion."
 Observers who have watched Hull's steadily mounting impatience with the German government be- cause of its foreign and domestic policies believed that behind Will sons recall were two major objec- tiveS:
 l. An expression of displeasure by this government which the Ger man government could not fail to understand, at Nazi policies, par ticularly those relating to Jews and other political, racial and religious minorities.
 2. Strengthening the state de- partment staff during the all-im- portant Pan American conference at Lima, Peru, next month at which every effort will be made by United States delegates to strengthen the mutually defensive bonds of Amer ican nations. Both Hull and AsSis: tant Secretary of State Adolf Berlt are scheduled to attend, leaving the state department critically short handed of top-ranking, policy -mak- ing officials.

US AMBASSADOR KENNEDY HELPS
COnfers With British Govt. on Some Plan to Help
 Jew Refugees
By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)


 London, Nov. 15-(UP)-U. S. Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy is comforting with the British govern ment in an effort to find a plan to aid German Jews, it was learned today.
 Kennedy has met with British government officials at intervals during the last three days. He talked with Prime Minister Neville Chanloerlain, Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax, Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs Sir Alexander Cadogan and Colonial Secretary Malcolm Macdonald.
 Other Developments
 These conversations coincided with two other developments in re- gard to the Nazi anCi-Jewish cam paign: 1-The departure from Berlin of U. s. Ambassador ugh Wilson was credited here with increasing the possibility of a British move to af- range a joint Anglo American ap- preach to the problem.
 2The United States, Great Brit ain and France were disclosed to have asked Germany two weeks ago to -discusss orderly emigration of po- tential refugees, including Jews, but Germany has not replied.
 Kennedy declined to confirm that he has been meeting with the gov ernment leaders, but reliable politi- cal circles understood that he was attempting to induce Britain to join the United States in a practical plan to aid the German Jewish refugees.
 It was reported tsa France also was consulted or would be consulted later in this connection.
 Officials said Germany so far had ignored the three-power proposal to discuss refugee emigration plan.
 Plan Proposed
 The plan was for Germany to re- ceive George Rublee, American di- rector of the International Refugee committee. The embassies of the (Continued on Page A

The campaign of Jew @hostages arrests continued. Fritz Warburg. Hamburg banker and brother of tho late Felix Warburg and Paul Moritz Warburg, American financiers, was reported to have been taken into custody.
 Jews did not expect decrees aimed at cultural limitations to end with their banishment from German schools and universities.
 More decrees along this line were expected as soon as the Nazis found new opportunities to detach Jewish and German economic cultural fife by the establishment of ghettos.
 New suicides were reported as Jews tried to raise nearly $500, GOO, ,- 900 to pay fine levied on Jews as whole and repair damage done to Jewish property by riots.
 Behind the announced Nazi mo- tive for the drive = the killing of a minor German official of the enc bassy in Paris = some financial circles saw an acute Nazi economic situation as the real cause.
