Rochester Surgeon
Appointed 10 Staff
Al Glenn Dale
Action Ends Policy
Of Transferring
Surgical Cases

DR.. Harlon Webster Harrison, a
chest surgeon from Rochester, N. Y,
has been appointed to the staff of
the Districts tuberculosis Sanatorja
at Glenn Dale, Md, Health Officer
George C. Rutland announced yes
terday.
Need for a resident staff surgeon
at the institution was cited some
weeks ago, after DR.. Rutland had
announced policy of transferring
major surgical cases from Glenn
Dale to Gallinger Municipal Hos
pital. The major reason for the
transfer policy, DR.. Rutland had
explained, was that while visiting
physicians went to Glenn Dale to
perform operations the resident
staff did not include a surgeon to
follow the case.
Appointment of a resident sur
geon to the Glenn Dale staff, DR..
Rutland agreed, would obviate the
need for the plan for transferring
patients to Gallihger.
DR.. Harrison, whose selection was
said to have been indorsed by the
Health Department Advisory Com
mittee Oh tuberculosis, is grad
uate OF the University of Rochester
Medical School and took special
training in pathology, X-ray and
surgery at the Iowa and Minnesota
Universities. He has served profess
sionally at st. Anthony, Newfound-
land
The salary in the District post IS
$4,000 a year, but recently it was
understood that private sources had
agreed to make donations to raise
the pay to $500
DR.. Rutland said he had surveyed
the Washington field for a physi-
clan qualified and willing to take
the post, but was unsuccessful.

Just why the Brazilians, tradition

ticularly clear, but it's a fact that
they have. Possibly, it's because we
have never landed marines on their
soil, as we have in various other
parts of Latin America. An addition
al count is that the rest Of Latin
America is predominantly Spanish,
and our war with Spain is remem-
bered against us. But Brazil isn't
Spanish; it's Portuguese. The Span
ish and Portuguese aren't altogether
brotherly.
And Brazil is corking good ally
for us to have on the southern new

bigger than we are. In population it's
a quarter of our size. In natural re-
sources it's tremendous-an large

it's SO percent of Latin America

nv HENRY, AVERILL

Raleigh, March 16.-Roland Nc
Clamroch, Orange county represen-
tative. has introduced a roadside
identification and safety measure
designed to meetethe objections made
to a previous Measure as taking in
entirely too much territory and con-
ferring entirelz@toO much authority.
The new bill would authorize the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission to designate areas with
in 1000 feet of the center Of any
State highway Cd embracing scenes
ty or (2) potential traffic hazards
to give notice of such designation to
the owner. : !.
After the notice has been given, it
would be unlawful II make anv No.
terial alteration without giving 60
days notice to, the commission.
On receipt of such notice the Com
mission would be authorized to ac-
quire title in fee by purchase, gift
or condemnation. If it failed to ex-
ercise this right within the specified
period any restrictions on use of the
area would automatically lapse.
The Commission would likewise be
authorized to dispose of any property
acquired under the act at any time
the need for it ceased.
Proponents of the measure point
out that it confers none of the ar
bitrary powers which made a former
|. bill obnoxious. 1t protects, every
right of the property owner and does
not permit the Commission to order
him to make expensive or radical
