EVENING STAR WASHINGTON D. c. FRIDAY MAY 2e 1885,
Doctors Are Asked
For Amendments 10
Health Measure
Wagner Says Medical
Group Critieizes, but
Offers No Suggestions
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Members of the Senate Labor
Committee, after hearing repre-
sentatives of the American Medical
Association criticize the Wagner
health bill yesterday, requested
suggestions for amendments to the
measure.
Nine representatives of the as
sociation, including DR.. Rock Sleys-
ter, its president, condemned the
bill introduced by Senator Wagner,
Democrat of New York as "un-
necessary" economically unsound"
and highly Objectionable" In ad-
dition, Representative Austin, Re-
publican. of Connecticut, a physi-
clan, Joined the group in protest.
Senator Wagnes said 1--WE hear all
this criticism, but the association
has offered no suggestions"
He disputed contention of DR..
r. L. Sensenich of South Bend,
Ind, that the proposed act would
give the Federal government con-
troll over the expenditure of funds
to build hospitals and over care of
the INDECENT.
DR.. Haven Emerson of Columbia
University also was challenged when
he declared mo emergency of sick
ness or neglect faces us" necessitat-
ing the health program. 1t provides
Tor expenditure of $85 100000 dur
ing the first year for medical care
of the needy, building of additional
hospitals, maternal and child well
fare and other purposes.
He told the committee better care
OF the sick could be provided "by ex-
tension Of the various promising ex-
periments, such as voluntary pre-.
payment and cash indemnity plans,
than can be expected from attempts
to have the cost of sickness trans
ferred to the Federal Government"
DR.. Wingate M. johnson of Win
ston-Salem, N. c., asked the COM
mittee: Instead of using tax money
to build superfluous new hospitals,
why not use it to pay for the neces-
sary disqualification of the medically
indigent?"
DR.. Walter E. West of Huntington,
president Of the West Virginia Pub
lie Health Council, said the Wagner
measure was not satisfactory" and
would furnish "a stepping stone
toward universal compulsory sick
| ness insurance"

miles of line has been built by fire.
fighters this season IN the contro
of 1918 fires in the Northern Rocky
Mountain Region, according to re-
ports from the regional office OF
the forest service at MiSSoula
Nearly half of these fires started
during the last 10 days of August
when the region was hit by one oil
the worst outbreaks of lightning
fires that has occurred here fol
years. The TIC fires which started
during that period, together with
so man-caused fires, required the
combined efforts Of 1000 CCC en-.
rollees and other firefighters to CON
troll, the report states OF these 76t
fires, 654 were held to less than an
acre in size, 80 were less than lC
acres. and % were of major size
covering more than 10 acres each
Principle damage occurred on two
fires. One on Kelley Creek in the
Nezperce national forest that
burned $4,000 acres, about two
thirds of which was grassland used
by Stockmen for winter range The
other was the Gleason Mountain
fire on the Kaniksu that started in
an old burn and spread to 5000
acres before being controlled. The
fire was kept from reaching valu-
able commercial timber stands,
however These two fires account
ed for $4,000 acres of the total
$1,000 acres of national forest land
burned so far this season.
According to Axel Lindh, in
charge of fire control for this re-
gion. man-caused fires are still bet
ter than so per cent higher than
last year, but this is largely account
ed for by the fact that the season
was exceptionally dry and the fire
danger correspondingly high, he
said In commenting on the situa-
ton. Mr. Lindh stated that the pub
lie generally has given fine coop
Grafton in helping to prevent fires
and that if it had not been for this
the damage would have been con-
siderable more.
OF the man-caused fires reported
this season, smokers With l54 still
head the list; 81 were caused by
railroads. SO by campers, Is by de-
bris-b burners; Is were incendiary or
willfully set; Is resulted from mis-
cellaneous causes: and 8 came from
numbering operations Railroad and
numbering operations are particu-
larly hazardous from fire stand
point during months of tlnder-dry
conditions, the report stated, but
special precautions taken by lum-
bermen, together with the increased
patrols maintained by the railroads
behind all trains. has kept the num-
Der of these fires to minimum, and
the damage has consequently been
small.

America Will Choose

Inc latest episode of free style
namecalling and nation-saving be-
fore the Dies Committee illustrated
nothing more forcibly than the fact
that there is little distinction between
some of the alleged diseases and
some of the proposed cures with
which the world is currently afflicted.
Major General Moseley, U. S. A.,
retired, in his attack upon the Jews,
flew squarely in the face of American
ideals to urge discriminatory treat
ment OF minority of our citizens.
Insisting that he is no lover of
Fascism or Naziism, he recommended
tactics identified with both in the
form of nationwide military espion-
age and the supplanting of civil rule
by martial rule.
He did this in the name of patriot
ism, directed at thwarting the ex-
tremists on the left.
Now it may be assumed that Cen
eral Moseley is entirely sincere in this
objective and that the great mass
OF Americans are DESTROYS of resist
ing the extremism of the leftist pro-
grams for changing our form of gov
eminent. But General Moseley and
those who stand with him should
realize that Americanism is a demo-
cratic structure founded upon equal
rights and non-oppression; that the
form of government which Amer
leans want is no more that of the
Fascist and Nazi states than it is
that of the Communist states.
In other words, few Americans who
look deeply and internationally into
the ideologies of those consumed
with determination to make this ma
ton over-a process which usually
comprehends the "liquidation' of
some minority-are likely to find
anything attractive about them. For
the past $50 years American public
opinion has successfully resisted
these propositions. 1t will undoubt-
edly do so again, both in the case of
General Moseley's program and that
which he believes in the making on
the left.

Victory in Spain

Germans and Italians are COM
petlng for the honor of having saved
Europe from the Red menace" in
Spain. The German Condor Legion
which provided General Francisco
Franco with the experienced aviation
personnel and planes he needed to
smash the Spanish Republicans are
receiving a conqueror's welcome from
the Fatherland, and soon the Italian
veterans will march in victory pa
rade before Premier Mussolini in
Rome.
The proud boasts in the German
press of the glorious and dominant
role which Germans played in win
ming the war for General Franco, al
most from the very day of the out
break of the revolution, contrast
sharply with the disclaimers of inter-
vention which emanated from both
Rome and Berlin in the early months
OF the war, when, although it was
known that Germans and Italians
were fighting against the Madrid
government, Nazi and Fascist lead
ers loudly protested their innocence
OF any such irregular actions.
In all candor, what the German
press now claims is probably true.
General Francois cause would have
been lost early in the war if it had not
been for his foreign assistance.
Throughout the conflict Italian
troops and German planes shared
the laurels with General francois
Moors and native Spaniards When
ever there was victory to report. So
that the Nationalist success can
scarcely be said to have been a vic
tory of Spanish Fascism over Spanish
Republicanism. It was more an in
ternational war than civil war, with
the combined military forces of Ger
many and Italy allied with a minor
ity group in Spain against the gov
eminent which also sought and OBJ
tanned aid from Soviet Russia.
The history of the Spanish war
will have to be written in the light
of German and Italian accounts of
the role their armies played in de-
stroying Spanish Republicanism.
Present indications are that that
participation will not be minimized
in any respect.

The Noble Red Man

Seminole Indians, employed on a
W. P. A. road project in the Florida
Everglades, want to be paid in cash.
They do not want government checks,
their attorney says, because it is
necessary to indorse them. The Sem
inoles are chary about afhxing their
signatures, or their marks, on any
Government paper for fear of sign
ing away their rights.
The situation has its amusing as
pect. These Indians never have adj
mitted the sovereignty of the United
States. For generations they have
lived within it's boundaries, peacefully
enough and willing to accept govern
ment aid in emergencies. But they
have signed no treaties. In theory,
in their own minds, they constitute
an independent nation whose terri
tory is occupied by foreign invader.
This may seem very theoretical in
deed. Doubtless the more intelligent
of the Seminoles have their tongues
in their cheeks when they maintain
such a position. But their prejudice
against allowing the government to
get their signatures on any kind of
paper has its justification. The Semi
noles are aware of how just such
ruses have been used in the past
let us hope in less ethical day-to
obtain the land and property of their
fellow Indians. They do not pretend
to be able to match their wits against
government lawyers. This has been
bad business for the red men ever

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Trace1UeH

Morning GOODNESS is worth getting up
for, in case you haven't thought of 1t.
Few things strike the great average
person rs queerer than early rising ex-
cept for necessity.
What do you want to get up so early
for?" Their question is almost plant
Their world, evidently, would quite come
to an end, II they went and did likewise.
Goodness Is enough.
In summertime, or an unusually hot
spring, there is no feeling quite like it
for everyday comfort.
This GOODNESS is the real thing, as
natural as sunshine, and quite as invigo-
rating but you must get up to get it.
Out In the garden is best OF all, but
the porch or even living or dining room
will do. How nicely the lower tempera-
ture has seeped in!
This is vitality
There can be little doubt that one of
the drawbacks of modern life is the
tendency to cut ones self off from the
great springs of fresh air circulating
around the world.
Modern cooling systems have a great
deal to recommend them. Basically
they are an attempt to put the city
person back in touch with real fresh air.
How accustomed we are to windows!
They seem to be the right place to get
fresh air, but actually it might as well
come In through a duct as any other
way, provided it is blown around.
Still there will be great many per-
sons who cannot or will not avail them
selves Of the advantages of modern ma
chinery
They will stick to windows and doors
for what GOODNESS they get in summer
and fresh air in winter. Fresh air is not
such problem with house living people
in the summertime. 1t is all around
them wherever they go. No doubt the
benefits are plain in the lessened num-
Der of colds. Many people snif1e, even
in summer. but their colds are not usual
ly Of the virulent type. Often the ex-
PLANTATION of this is increased perspira-
ton, which no doubt plays a part, but
many will feel that more fresh air is
the real reason for increased resistance
to colds.
Morning GOODNESS is appreciated partic-
ularly by those who have some interest
in nature. 1t is the best time for walk
ing, not only because there is far less
traffic, but mainly because of the lowered
temperature, which makes it possible to
take this exercise without becoming
too hot.
1t is, of course, light enough at 4
o'clock in the morning to make any sort
Of outdoor exercise feasible.
There is novelty value to walking at
this time of day which must not be
forgotten. Five o'clock is not too late
Even then there is an unusual tinge-at

Commissioner Huzen

Commissioner Hazen will not forget
quickly June, 1899. Today he receives
the honorary degree of doctor of laws
from the University of Maryland;
where he spent many happy days as
an undergraduate. On June % he

groups for his fifty years of service to

many other friends in offering con-
gratulations.
To recount adequately his rise from
transit man in the street extension
division of the District government

government today as chairman of the
Board of Commissioners would re-
quire columns. It must, therefore,
suffice to say here that Mr.. Hazen, at
the age of seventy-two, is still work.

congressional committees, tackling

A faithful public servant for half
a century, kindly, considerate gen.

a passion for horses, Commissioner
Hazen has won a firm place in the
hearts of the community. It is
pleasant to anticipate the deserved
tributes of friends who are now plan

honor.

A Seasonal Racket

That the numbers racket has
grown rich at the expense OF vic
Tins who can i'll afford to lose their
money has been proved in court on
numerous occasions. That many of
the victims are children also is an
established fact. That there is a di-
rect and decided relation between
school terms and seasonal trends"
in the numbers game has just come
to light, however. The disclosure was
made by Federal income tax agent
in support of income tax evasion
charges against one Austin Clark,
alias Dick Austin, colored, onetime
resident of Washington but now with
headquarters in Atlantic City, New
Jersey.
According to the agent, Clark or
Austin told Internal Revenue inves-
tigators that his take" in the Dis
trict OF Columbia "got way down
when the schools and buildings
closed for the summer" Things
picked up again when vacation time
was over, however, with the result
that in 1887 this lone operator "took"
total of $118,843 in dimes, nickels
and pennies from gullible gamblers,
young and old, the agent testified.
Coupled with the take" in Atlantic
C1ty-for Clark alias Austin was
working both ends of the Washing
ton-Atlantic City axis-his gross
business" in 1887, the government
alleged, was approximately a quar-
ter of a million dollars.
Local police remember this man
WELL but not favorably. They say he
maintained two headquarters in the
northwestern part of the city-until
Congress passed the act outlawing
possession of numbers slips. Then he
moved across the District line into
Maryland, police assert, apparently
to continue his operations by remote
control. The testimony concerning
Clark-Austin's income gave no fig
ures for the period since passage of
the law, so that it's effect on the
take" could not be measured. But it
Is significant to note that prior to
passage OF the Numbers Act police
ralded one OF the Clark-Austin places
here and conf1scated stacks of num-
bers slips, but the charges were dis
missed on grounds of insufficient evil
dence. Had the present law been in
effect then, the slips themselves, if
they were unexpired ones, would
have been prima facie proof of lot
terry activities.

borders established for all time" In
proclaiming the entente, Chancellor
Hitler glorified it as a pact of per
manent peace" while the Regent
affirmed his country's determined
will to live and work together with
the German people"
At a morent when the democratic
powers are attempting to align the
small states Of Central and Eastern
Europe in partnership capable of
curbing German expansion, the sig
nif1cance of bringing Yugoslavia into
the axis orbit is not to be under
estimated. For one thing, it drives
almost the last nail in the coffin Of
the Little Entente. Czecho- Slovakia
already had Disappeared; Rumania,
the second member of the military
alliance engineered by France for
the purpose of blocking Germany's
eastward path, has come under Nazi
domination; and now Yugoslavia
goes the way of all flesh coveted by
Germany in pursuance of her Drang
mach Osten program.
There must thus be great Joy in
the Wilhelmstrasse over Yugoslavia's
decision at this particular moment
to cast her lot with the totalitarian
powers. Military implications are
denied, but in case of a general
European war the Yugoslavs would
hardly have any other choice than
to fight on the Italo-German side.
With Italy on its Albanian border
and greater Germany" now firmly
planted astride it's northwestern
flank, the Kingdom of the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes would be COM
ptetely at the mercy of the dictators.
The purely Balkan situation, mean
time, is affected by the Yugoslav-
German deal. AS the Nazis contrived
by successive maneuvers to destroy
the Little Entente, it is now more
than possible that Yugoslavia's &C.
ton will pave the way to the dissolu-
ton of the Balkan Entente. This
grouping was already compromised
by the Anglo-Turkish pact and the
adhesion of Greece to the non-ag-
erosion bloc.
Exactly twenty-five years ago this
month Yugoslavian soil was the
scene of the tragedy which led to the
World War and the defeat of the
Germanic powers. Their conquerors
included the state that now seals
bond of friendship with the nation
to whose downfall it contributed
after feeling the heavy hand of in
vasion and occupation.
There have been few stranger
whirls of the Old World Kaleidoscope
in this hectic era of postwar history.

Moral Rearmament
Meeting Timely.

To the Editor Of The Star:
With Jay Franklin arguing in his radio
debate with Mark Sullivan on the eve
ming of May 81. 1899, for re-electing
President Franklin D. Roosevelt as
kind of high priest of the New Deal,
made ever into kind of religion, the
M. r. A. meeting on Sunday night, June
4, 1899. is timely. It presents the real
question for consideration. Shall real
religion be supplanted by host of ma
tionalistic dogmas and dream phan-
tastes?
1t is fine that your paper gave special
space in its early edition yesterday to
the announcement Of the forthcoming
M. r. A. meeting. Did 1t not rate bet
ter position in the later edition? The
teams from Scandinavia, Great Britain
and Canada contain some interesting
headliners from outside the United
States. Our national leaders rate good
news positions, it would seem to this
