Two More Doctors
OF 6. H. A. Admitted
To Garfield Staff
Courtesy Cards Sent;
Association Heads
Are Grutified

Two more doctors of Group Health
Association have been admitted to
the courtesy staff of Garfield Hos
pltal, it was learned today.
They are Dr. Charles Albright and
DR.. Russell F. Cahoon, general prac-
titioners, who received in the mail
today their official courtesy cards
from the institution.
This increases to five the number
of G. H. A. doctors now admitted
to practice in Garfield Hospital. The
three other physicians recently ad-
mitted are DR.. Clark P. Halstead,
assistant surgeon: DR.. Roy A. Boe,
eye specialist, and DR.. Richard H.
Price, general internist. DR.. Price
since has resigned from G.. H. A.
Officials of Group Health Associa-
ton were gratified at the extension
of Garfield courtesy to two more
of their doctors. For months doc
tors of G. H. A. have not been ad-
mltted to practice in Washington
hospitals. One of the charges
against organized medicine in the
indictment recently handed down
by a Federal grand jury is that the
Medical Society and other organi-
cations of medicine, and 81 doctors
"conspired" to violate the Sherman
Antitrust Act in their tactics lin
restraint of trade" of G. H. A. One
of the specified charges is that G.
H. A. doctors were prevented from
practicing in hospitals of the city
The hospitals themselves were not
made defendants in the indictment
Officials at Garfield, discussing
admission of the first three doctors
who were granted courtesy priv
ileges, said, THE Group Health AS
sociation has nothing to do with
that at all. The hospitals have
never had a grievance against the
G. H. Al
Expressing pleasure at the admis-
sion of the first three doctors to
the Garfield courtesy list, William
C. Kirkpatrick, president of G. H. A.
at the recent annual meeting of the
association said, I'VE have been as
sured other members of our staff
will be admitted to that hospital
when certain formalities have been
completed and we are hopeful that
other hospitals in Washington will
soon follow the lead set by Garfield

Death Laid 10 Lack
Of Central Fire Alarm

The life of 67-year- old blind
invalid, Sidney L. Harvey, colored,
who was fatally burned when his
home in Fairmont Heights, Nd,
was destroyed by fire yesterday,
might have been saved by a CEN
tral dispatching system. Chief Ir-
win I. Main of the Seat Pleasant
Fire Department said today.
Chife Main said he would report
the incident at a meeting in the
municipal building at Hyattsville
tonight, called by the Federation of
Citizens Associations, delegates from
county fire companies, the Prince
Georges County Chamber of Com
merce and other civic groups. to
discuss means of establishing a CEN
trail dispatching system for the coun-
ty police and fire departments.
Chief Main explained that his in
vestigation revealed that when the
flre was discovered by Mr.. Harvey s
wife Anna she summoned the Cap
ltol Heights fire department by tel
ephone. The first he knew of the
1lre, although the Seat Pleasant
station is about 2 miles nearer the
Harvey home, was when the Capitol
Heights apparatus rounded the cor
ner in front of his store, Chief Main
said.
The Seat Pleasant department
also was notified by telephone by a
nelghbor, but not until the Capitol
Heights firemen were nearly at the
scene, Chief Main pointed out. Had
the Seat Pleasant department been
notified first its apparatus might
nave been able to reach the blaze
IN time to rescue the man, he stated.
Chife Main said a central dis
patching system would make it pos
slble for all calls for fire and police
10 be received at a central office,
from which the call would be re-
layed to the nearest fire or police
station. Such a system has been
advocated by fire departments for
many years, but has never been es-
tabhshed because of the expense.

Three Sea Storms
Menace Shipping
On Atlantic Lanes
Tonker Splits in Two
In Heavy Gale, but
Crew Is Saved
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Heavy winds which reached full
gale proportions in some sections to-
day continued their sweep Of the
Atlantic Ocean, whipping up noun
famous waves from Bermuda to
Iceland.
Shipping was imperiled. Giant
liners plying the trade route be-
tween New York and European ports
were struck crosswise by the winds
while freighters, off the regular
passenger paths, were tossed about
by huge seas.
The Coast Guard cutter Cayuga
took in tow the helpless freighter
Black Condor at its precarious posi-
ton IS miles southeast of Sable
Island, Nova Scotia. The Black
Condor lost its propeller in north
erly gale Thursday. The vessel, with
crew of As, probably will be towed
to New York.
Three Storms Merging.
The Weather Bureau reported
that the storms were three in num-
ber, gradually merging with long
trough centered just north of the
great circle route and crossing the
path taken by passenger liners en-
route to Europe.
The Norwegian tanker Jaguar
split in twain, between the Azores
and Hatteras Yesterday. The crew
of 81 was rescued from the two sec
tions of the ship by the freighter
Duala.
The British freighter Swinburne
limped into st. Georges. Bermuda,
Tuesday with eight injured crew
members and her engines disabled.
The crew of seven of the Nova
Scotia schooner Laura Annie Barnes
was taken off that ship just be-
fore she sank in Nantucket Sound
and taken to Boston.
Tell Narrowing Tales.
Passengers on the Italian liner
Vulcania, which docked in New York
Thursday. told narrowing tales of
their Atlantic journey. At least two
were injured as the ship was buf-
feted about by the gigantic waves.
The Greek freighter Diamantis
was damaged Monday night about
$50 miles of the Virginia Capes, but
was able to effect repairs and cancel
a distress alarm.
Present North Atlantic winds of
IS miles per hour were expected to
increase, Weather Bureau officials
said.

Hearst Paper Ordered
To Reinstute Newsmun
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board issued an order today direct
ing Hearst Consolidated Publica-
tions, Inc, publisher of the Balti-
more NeWs-Post, to reinstate with
back pay Frederick H. Houck, chair
man of the News-Post unit of the
American Newspaper Guild.
In ordering the unemployment,
the board rejected the contention of
the NeWs-Post that Mr. Houck was
discharged for mishandling q news
story from Paris.
Fhe board said:
1T is our conclusion that Houck's
discharge was due to the respond
ent's desire to rid itself of the most
prominent and active guild member
and officer among its employees, the
incident of the Paris story serving
only as the occasion for the dis
charge"

Thus it will be seen that although
the chairman of this jury is to be
classed with the modernists, the four
other members are all conservatives
This does not assure, however, a
conservative exhibition, inasmuch
as the artists who themselves hold
fast to tradition are proverbially tol-
Grant and generous in their attitude
toward the innovators.
February 81 will be the last day
for receiving entry cards at the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art and March
6 the last day for receiving paint
ings. The press view and varnish-
ing day will be March Is and the
exhibition will open to the public

ROME, Dec, 1938.-There's little
love lost between the Italian and
the German people. Fate and the
blunders of French and the British
diplomacy threw them together. To-
day they form the most formidable
alliance Europe ever faced
The Italians don't like Germans
Temperamentally they are entirely
different. The Italian people say
the German head is good, but the
heart is bad"
The Germans despise Italians be-
cause they don't believe they will
ever be a warrior nation. During
the September crisis, when it was
known in Berlin that the French
intended to crack the Italian front
the Berlin general staff had decided
to rush five divisions there. A SINH
lar number of Italian divisions had
been ordered to join the German
Army in Austria for an invasion OF
Czecho -Slovakia Flanked by Prus-
sian units, said the German general
staff, these troops would have been
all right.
Germans who come in ever-in-
creasing numbers to Italy to spend
their vacations are arrogant ano
oVerbearing. There was a braWl in
Rome a few weeks ago which
might have had serious repercus-
sions had police not intervened
promptly. In one Well-known restau-
rant in Rome several Italians were
seated at table, Jew with them
A group of Germans walked in and
ordered the Jew out. The man took
his hat and coat and left. The
Italians let their friend go in order
to keep him out of trouble with the
authorities. But after he left they
set upon the Germans and beat
them soundly.
Tourist Places Empty.
The war scare occasioned by
Mussolini's most recent demands
upon the French emptied most of
the tourist places in Italy of their

industry was one of the most profit
able in Italy, about 100000 per-
sons making a good living from

and winter resorts

Both the canal and Quoddy have
