American surgeons are perhaps
equal to any in the world, but
there are not enough of them who
have had the long training neces-
sary to become highly skilled in
their profession. This is the view
OF the American College of Sur
geOns itself, which is making plans
to increase training facilities.
These plans include a 3-year sys-
TEN Of "super-raining," which is
expected TO ultimately turn out 900
or more new surgeons of excep-
tional skill each year. By this
means it is hoped to provide bet
ter surgical aid to smaller COM
munities as we'll as to the larger
cities.
Following a study of the prob
lem, 3S1 hospitals have been ap-
proved to give this advanced train
ing in accordance with official
standards to be established. One
object sought is to broaden the gen
eral surgical knowledge of spec
ialists who now work in restricted
fields. Additional hospitals will
be approved as qualified to give
this higher training from time to
time.
Aside from the designation of
training hospitals, the American
College of Surgeons has also an
nounced it's general approval of the
staffs, equipment and methods of
2,720 hospitals as being up to a
satisfactory standard.
The total number of hospitals in
the United States is 6,166 accord
ing to latest available figures.

Now that business is again on
the upgrade, the pail can be made
muah less difficult if banks will
maintain a reasonable and sane at
titule toward businessmen who
need loans.
OF course, no banker wants to
lend money unless he is reason
ably certain he will get it back,
but when a bank - as most banks
do - demands mortgage on a
business establishment in return
for a 500 loan, progress is being
stymied by a money hoarder with
a small, mean soul.
Banks are in business to make
money, and they can make money
only when they put their assets
to work in the realm of manufac-
ture and trade. Government bonds
are a poor investment at best for
banks = poor because the return
is too small to afford a profit on
the banks business.
That town is indeed fortunate
which has a bank that cooperates

Gentlemen that we are, we yell
ourselves hoarse for the home

tie sad when the visiting team
travels miles and miles just to lose
a football game.
If the out-Of-towner wins an hon

stadium, our enthusiasm for most
visiting teams ends. We think the
home team is pretty good. But we

was their job to teach the differ
ences between foods and food.
In their view, the trouble is not
that Mr. and Mrs. Average Diner
are not willing to learn but they
have been denied the opportunity
to learn. A major difficulty, the
chefs hold, has been that menus
are printed in some language other
than English and hence the Amer
lean never learns to eat some fine
dishes because he is afraid of the
names. SO this is all to be chang
ed, in the hope of developing a
race of gourmets in this country.
Our guess is that the suggested
menu change is not all that stands
in the way of giving us keen and
discriminating appetites. An Eng
lish menu does not necessarily go
hand in hand with full pocket
book, and if one is to practice the
art of fine eating he must have
more than a widows mite.

POLL TAX Observation-Disclosures


Eight states have in force laws which
require the payment of poll taxes as
condition to voting in local and
national elections. They are Virginia,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Texas, all of them in the south
Through the operation of the poll tax
statutes thousands of the adult popu-
lation in each of the eight states are
DISTINGUISHED The laws hit both
white and colored low-income families,
who are unable to raise or to spare
from their meagre earnings the neces-
sary amount of money to meet the re-
quirement for registration and voting.
The effect Is to restrict the right of
suffrage to the well-to-do upper and
middle classes, who are able to pay.
In an attack upon this restriction,
Congressman Leo f. Geyer of Cali
fonia introduced a bill which would
outlaw the poll tax in Federal cleo
tons. In effect it is an amendment
to the Corrupt Practices Act. 1t is
sponsored by the Southern Conference
for Human Welfare and was intro
duced at the request of that Organiza-
ton of progressives. If the bill is
enacted, the law would make it "un-
lawful for any person, whether or not
acting under the authority of the laws
OF state or subdivision thereof. to
require the payment of a poll tax as
a prerequisite for voting or register
ing to vote, at any election for a Presi-
dent or Vice President or presidential
elector or Senate or member of the
House of Representatives of the United
States" Progressives are vigorously
pushing for the enactment of Congress
man Geyer's amendment They point
out that as matters now stand the 'poll
tax is frequently paid for whole blocks
Of voters by INSCRIPTIONS politicians
and thus furthers corrupt elections"
Squirting action for the bills pas
sage Is the notorious fact that it was
the Southern Congressman, led bv Rep
resentative Eugene Cox of Georgia and
Howard W. Smith Of Virginia, who
were chiefly responsible for the sabot-
age of New Deal measures. Leaders of
the progressive and liberal forces argue
that the abolition of poll tax laws
holds the only hope for liberalism"
The poll tax system makes it possible
for the Coxes and Smiths to be elected,
year after year, despite their anti
labor and anti-hberal records"
