When our Secretary had finished his ad-

last he wanted to see-the Soviet envoy, who
offered to Judge Hull the congratulations
OF Stain with cordial request to join in
conference with France and England to
adjust the affairs left untouched by the
Secretary's paper. This Soviet envoy is

Relates the History of

To the Editor of The Star:
THE article by Mr.. David Lawrence in
your issue of March IS, in which he
gives "the suggested prospectus written by
Mr.. Arthur A. Ballantine, who, it will be
recalled, was one Of the few offcials of the
preceding administration who served

holiday of 1888 and assisted the Roosevelt
administration through that turbulent pc

given to my proposal. I went back after the
election and found Mr.. Ballantine still in
office but under the impression that we
would have to wait until his successor was
appointed before action on the proposed
savings bond would receive consideration.
I waited. Mr. Dean Achison received
the appointment and was one of his first
callers. found him very cooperative, but
he resigned too soon. A little later his sue
cessor, Mr.. Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, was
named when determined to let no grass

On the Group Health Plan.

On the Group Health Plan.
To the Editor Of The Star:
T HAVE been following the quarrel be-
tween the Group Health Association
and the District Medical Society, and I
am writing this letter with the idea it
might clarity the entire experiment to
those who are being blindly led into it.
How can any group Of people who are
capable OF earning between 81 400 81, 900
per year be so deluded by plan that prom
ises better medical care for 50 20 per year?
G. H. A. boasts that 1t pays its doctors
$4,000 per year. How many persons must
join in order to pay one doctors salary?
At least 2,7l3 persons. This does not
include medical equipment, expendabe sup
plies, Office space, utilities and assistants.
Hence, the number will run well over
5000, and these 5000 will consult doctor
many more times than they would if they
were paying by the visit. The present ratio
is 300 patients per doctor, and we all know
how difficult 1t is to get a doctor when
we need one, for they are always busy.
Therefore. the G. H. A. doctor will have
to take care Of IL times as many people

How can he give each patient the time

Chuck" Bettinger, Lloyd Ritter, Save 60- Year
 Old Scandinavian

An unidentified Scandinavian 60, was rescued from probable death by drowning near the Ferry Float last night when two Juneau men hearing his cries in the water, ef- fected his rescue.
 Chuck" BettingG and Lloyd Rit- ter, walking along the dock to meet the Denali, heard cries from the water beneath the dock adjacent to the Marine Apartments, saw the elderly man clinging to a pile, and with a flashlight and rope went to his aid.
 Pulled to safety, the dripping gen. tleman declined an automobile ride home. M
 T may be sixty years old, by yeel" he is reported to have said to the crowd, but I can walk yust as good as any man.
 Mrs. George Sarvela, living in the Marine Apartments, was awak- ened from her sleep by the mans cries and was about to call the Fire Department when Bettinger and Ritter went to the mans assistance.
 Other witnesses reported that two young men. strolling by the scene earlier. had ignored the mans cries and dismissed the occurrence as Just some drunk in the water"
 The man was reportedly sober and evidently slipped on the wet planking in the dark.
 Ritter, one of the rescuers, nearly lost his own life by drowning few feet from the scene of last nights accident when he tumbled off the dock as youngster several years ago.

They still tell the story of an Army
officer assigned to his post in San
Francisco in the days when it took
nine months to get to the Pacific
from the East by boat around the
Horn. He was a bad sailor and was
sick all the while. But when he
finally got to the Pacific Coast he
found that his orders were mistake
and his post should have been in
Michigan. So he took another boat
back and. after nine months more of
seasickness, reached Michigan, only
to find his regiment ordered to San
Francisco, and he had to go back
again. As he was starting on his
third voyage he remarked to friend,
Il had the choice between the Army
and the Navy. Had I selected the
Navy I am sure I would have had a
much better chance Of remaining on
