Man Loses $50 in Theft;
Three Others Reported

Clarence D Coleman of 1905
Pennsylvania avenue Sc. early to-
day reported to police he was at
tackled and robbed of s3O50 by sew
eral young white men at Seventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue Sc.
He was treated at Providence Hos
pital for cuts on the face and
bruises.
Detectives later arrested two
youths and recovered part of the
money.
In another robbery, William Peter
Hill, IA, son of Marine Corps major
stationed at the barracks at Eighth
and I streets Sc, lost 30 cents He
said he was stopped on Eighth
street near Pennsylvania avenue by
three colored boys, one OF whom
placed a knife at his back while
the others took his money.
Rhoda Green, 27, 1912 Sixth street
NV, reported that her purse was
snatched by a colored man as she
was walking yesterday on Ninth
street near Rhode Island avenue
NV. A taxi driver who saw the
purse snatching chased the robber
to Ninth and French streets NV,
where the pocketbook, minus S. it
contained, was recovered. The
thief escaped.

nue. NV, near where she was en-
ployed.' She said the men fed in

cult to get necessary ammunition
from Berlin or Rome, or even from
Skoda.
The airplanes are antiquated, as
are the tanks. When the Yugoslav
authorities mention these things to
the Germans or Italians they are
told it does not quite matter. Yugo-
slavia's equipment is sufficient for
row with the minor Balkan nations
and if it were ever to engage in a
struggle with a large nation, Ger
many and Italy could rush the nee
essary supplies in no time. France
used to provide Yugoslavia with war
materials-but that was a long time
ago, when the Little Entente still
existed.
Anti-German Feeling High.
Feeling against the Germans in
Yugoslavia is high. The Yugoslavs
are on the whole a nation of peas
ants, hence they are not hustlers.
Like all soil tillers they work hard
for many hours a day when the
farms have to be cultivated or dur
ing harvest The rest of the time
they take it easy.
The Germans, who are bent on
rapid development of the many
mines, are impatient with these
easy-going workers Beside copper
which is to be found in large guam
titles, important lead and bauxite
mines have been opened. The axis
powers rely on these if they are
blockaded in war with Great
Britain and France. The necessary
equipment has been rushed from
Germany to the Yugoslav mining
centers, but the work does not go as
fast as the efficient German engi-
neers would like. Hence rough
methods on the part of German
technicians and a lot of grumbling
and i'll feeling on the part of
workers in the pits. The Serbs,
who fought for centuries to break
the Turkish yoke, resent the slave
driving methods of the German
exploiters.
Some day these people may lose
patience, and the government is wor-
ried, for it cannot afford to antag-
onlze the axis. Stoyadinovich would
not know where to turn.

Two Leave New York
To Aid Sinking Ship

NEW YORK, Jan. % R.-Two
nearby British ships steamed today
to the aid Of the Dutch freighter
Parklaan, leaking badly 1900 miles
out on the stormsWept Atlantic.
The Parklaan, a 353-foot vessel
of 1907 tons, sent out a distress
signal last night but later said she
was trying to make the Azores
Islands-about 1000 miles east. The
vessel carried a crew of 81 and a
cargo of scrap metal bound for
Germany.
The British freighters Carare
and Deerpool reported they could
reach her sometime after dawn.
Gales that lashed both sides of the
Atlantic caused widespread distress
to shipping,

Man Saves Dog From Icy Pool
And Declines to Tell Name

Somewhere in Washington there
is a young man who ought to know
how much happiness he has brought
to an 82-year-old grandmother and
her granddaughter.
They feel they have not thanked
him enough for doing them favor
which they prefer to term heroic.
And since the young man prefers
to remain anonymous, his bene-
flciaries have asked that the news
paper print this story in the hope
it will convey their gratitude.
Saturday afternoon Miss Eliza
beth Cranston, Ais Sixth street
S.W., was exercising her terrier pup
Terry near the Lincoln Memorial
Reflection Pool. In an automobile
nearby her grandmother, Mrs. Mary
Cranston, an invalid, watched the
dog cavort. She is devoted to the
animal.
Then Terry. playfully chasing

another dog, took a short cut across
the ice. 1t broke beneath his weight,
plunging him into the icy water,
and, while his mistress and her
grandmother watched helplessly, the
dog spent his strength trying to
make his way to the POOLS edge.
Frantic, Miss Cranston called
aloud, Wont somebody please do
something?" Her plea was answered
by the young man to whom this
story is dedicated.
Though dressed Immediately, he
stripped off his shoes and stockings,
broke his way through the ice with a
stick and hauled the half drowned
puppy to safety. Acknowledging
Miss Craaston's thanks with a po-
lite bow, but declining to make him
self known, the man disappeared
quietly while dog and mistress ca
ressed each other happily.

Text of Presidents Message
Health Program Envisoeed ns
Stote PIon With Federal Aid

The text of President Roose-
velt's health message to Congress
today follows:
In my annual message to the
Congress I referred to problems
OF health security. I take occa-
sion now to bring this subject
specifically to your. attention in
transmitting the report and
recommendations on national
health prepared by the Inter-
departmental Committee to CO.
ordinate Health and Welfare
Activities.
The health of the people is a
public concern; Ill health is a
major cause of suffering, eco
nomic loss, and dependency;
good health is essential to the
security and progress of the
Nation.
Health needs were studied by
the Committee on Economic
Security which I appointed in
1884 and certain basic steps were
taken by the Congress in the
Social Security Act. It was recog-
nized at that time that compre-
hensive health program was re-
quired as an essential link In our
national defenses against in
dividual and social insecurity.
Further study, however, seemed
necessary at that time to de-
termine ways and means Of pro-
viding this protection most
effectively.
Health Needs Unmet.
In August, 1885, after the pas
sage of the Social Security Act,
I appointed the Interdepart-
mental Committee to Coordinate
Health and Welfare Activities.
Early in 1898 this committee
forwarded to me reports pre-
pared by their technical experts.
They had reviewed unmet health
needs, pointing to the desirability
of a national health program,
and they submitted the outlines
of such a program. These re-
ports we're impressive. I there
fore suggested that a conference
be held to bring the findings
before representatives of the
general public and Of the medi-
cal. public health and allied pro-
fessions.
More than 200 men and Wom-
en-. representing many walks OF
life and many parts of our coun-
try, came together in Washing
ton last July to consider the
technical committees findings
and recommendations and to
offer further proposals. There
was agreement on two basic
points: The existence Of serious
unmet needs for medical service,
and our failure to make full ap-
plication Of the growing powers
of medical science to prevent or
control disease and disability.
Inequalities Should Be Ended.
I have been concerned by the
evidence Of inequalities that exist
among the States as to personnel
and facilities for health services.
There are equally serious inequal-
ities of resources, medical facil-
Evening star., 1939-01-23

tiles and services in different sec
tions and among different eco
nomic groups. These inequalities
create handicaps for the parts of
our country and the groups of our
people which most sorely need
the benefits Of modern medical
science.
The objective of a national
health program is to make avail
able In all parts of our country
and for all groups OF our people
the scientific knowledge and skill
at our command to prevent and
care for sickness and disability;
to, safeguard mothers, infants
and children, and to offset
through social insurance the loss
of earnings among workers who
are temporarily or permanently
disabled.
The committee does not propose
a great expansion of Federal
health services. 1t recommends
that plans be worked out and ad-
ministered by States and local
tiles with the assistance of Fed
eral grants-in-ald. The aid is a
flexible program. The committee
points out that while the eventual
costs of the proposed program
would be considerable, they rep
resent a sound investment which
can be expected to wipe out, in
the long run, certain costs now
borne in the form of relief.
Study Of Report Urged.
We have reason to derive great
satisfaction from the increase
in the average length of life in
our country and from the i'm
provement in the average levels
Of health and well-being. Yet
these improvements In the aver
ages are cold comfort to the mil
lions of our people whose security
In health and survival is still as
limited as was that of the Ma
ton as whole SO years ago.
The average level of health
or the average cost of sickness
has little meaning for those who
must meet personal catastro-
phes. To know that a stream
is 4 feet deep on the average is
OF little help to those who drown
In the places where it is 10 feet
deep. The recommendations of
the committee offer a program
to bridge that stream by reduc-
ing the risks Of needless suffer-
ing and death, and of costs and
dependency, that now overwhelm
millions of individual families
and sap the resources of the Ma
ton.
I recommend the report of the
1nterdepartmental Committee for
careful study by the Congress.
The essence of the program
recommended by the committee
Is Federal-State cooperation.
Federal legislation necessarily
precedes, for 1t indicates the
assistance which may be made
available to the States in a CO.
operative program for the Ma
tion's health.

Law Guild Committee
Will Draft Report
For Convention
Latitude in Agencies
Rule-Mokine Powers
Is Fuvored

The National Lawyers Guilds
Committee on Administrative Law
today planned to draft a report for
submission to the guild convention
in Chicago next month on sugges-
tions growing out of week end con-
ference here on administrative law
problems.
The conference, which began Sat-
urday at the Carlton Hotel, ended
yesterday, with expressions of oppo-
sition to any plan to circumscribe
too closely the rulemaking powers
of administrative agencies.
"The dangers from overgenerali-
zation are many" said Douglas B.
Maggs, Duke University professor
and chairman of yesterdays session,
"and I urge you lawyers to attack
the concrete problems which is i'm
possible under the bill proposed by
the American Bar Association"
A. H. Feller of the Justice De-
partment Antitrust Division and
Louis L. Jaffe, University of Buffalo
to" Pio4Coooi, dBlccu llldJ IIle PROP
lens could not be solved through a
general bill because the setup of
such agencies as the National Bi.
luminous Coal Commission, the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and
the Securities and Exchange Com.
mission is too complex.
Mr.. Feller said there should be
a limitation on judicial review of
such agencies actions, declaring
the courts do not have the facilities
to weigh evidence that are avail
able to the commissions. Judges
would have time for nothing else
If they attempted to read the COM
mission records in many cases, he
said.
Mr.. Jaffe discounted the existence
OF any crisis" in the administrative
law situation, but said that "at the
bottom of all the squawking is a
real problem"
The conference discussions, along
with other study by committee
members, will form the basis for the
administrative law committees re-
port on what may be done to i'm
prove the process of "laW-making"
by administrative agencies.

Transamerica Case
Halted for Week by
Justice 0'Donoghue
Injunction Suit Is Set
For Trial Monday in
Federal Court
BY the Associated Press.

All proceedings in the controversy
between the Securities and Ex-
change Commission and Transamer-
lea Corp, West Coast investment
company, were halted for one week
today at the request of Justice Dan
lei w. O'Donoghue of the Federal
District Court.
He set for trial next Monday
Transamerica's suit for an injunction
to prevent the commission from 60
ing into affairs of the Bank of Amer
lea, branch banking firm in which
the investment company owns a
large stock interest.
Richberg Makes Plea.
Donald Richberg, the former
N. r. A. administrator, appearing
for Transamerica, then appealed to
the court to have the commission
suspend its public hearing to deter
mine whether stock of the invest
ment company should be suspended
from trading on national exchanges.
Mr.. Richberg contended that, even
AoA SllS SOAAAAiA'
sion had agreed to refrain from
going into the banks affairs pend
ing outcome of the injunction action,
the commission had been damaging
the bank by republicizing its COM
plant against Transamerica. He
charged that the strength of the
commissions proceedings was based
nine-tenths on giving out illegal
publicity"
Commission Charges Defamation.
Counsel for the commission i'm
mediately charged that Transamer-
lea interests had been putting out
publicity defaming the commission,
and urged that they be ordered to
refrain pending outcome of the suit.
Justice ODonoghue then requested
that the commissions hearing be
suspended pending trial of the suit
and that both sides discontinue CIV
ing out releases In the meantime.
