Urges Reelection
OF Roosevelt.

Of Roosevelt.
To the Editor of The Star:
Some Republicans fear that the two
party system will be destroyed Well.
If they destroy the party that wraps a
Republican cloak around a Democrat
and dominates him to run as a Re-
publican for the presidency, it might
be good thing for the United States
of America as it may force the party
opposing the Democratic party to i'm
prove They do not come out against
Mr.. Roosevelt's policies, but they did
not offer these advantages to the people
Men and women who toll make up
most of the 100000 population surely
will appreciate what has been done
while they work for their future and
security in old age.
AS the world stands today, an I'M
known, inexperienced man might ruin
us in three hours! God bless America
with Roosevelt for another term, with
greater service to grateful people.

To Unpaved Streets.

TO the Eoltor OF Inc star:
In Montgomery County. Md, there
has existed a situation for over two
years that can only be described as
intolerable. Two streets in a suburban
section called Huntington Terrace have
been unpaved for two winters and
although taxes on these properties pre-
sumably are being paid there is no
way by which residents can reach their
homes during bad weather.
One Sunday last winter a tow car
stationed itself profitably at the inter-
section of Garfield and SouthWick
streets. One housewife, whose auto

TO the Editor OF The star:
This independent voters mind is made
up. My vote will be cast for Willkie
in November because I believe he can
do better job than Roosevelt.
He is young, strong and vigorous-not
worn out by seven years of killing re-
sponsibility. Roosevelts idea of re-
firing in year or two df elected and
letting Wallace take over Gas reported)

do the job himself for four years.

After a year Gertrud Jacob resumed
her pilgrimage. The deadly tuberculosis
was sapping her strength. Accompanied
by DR.. Fromm- Reichmann she came to
the United States. Arriving here in 1885
she served on stats of several psychiat.ic
hospitals, until her illness forced her to
go to the artists colony at Santa Fe,
N. Mex-following the steps of her fellow
tuberculosis victim, character painter in
words, and psychoanalyst, D. H. Law
renee.
In America. she resumed her psychia-
trio painting but it took new form.
The German faces had been those Of
flends out of the depths of the hells
in which they lived. They were hard,
fierce and bitter. Hate was the
dominant emotion of all Of them.
The American faces portray the same
turmoils within-but they are softer and
more gentle. They are jewellers in the
borderlands Of purgatory, close to the
sunshine of the earth.
This was an unconscious recognition,
say her associates, Of the actual differ
ence between the sufferings of the
regimented insane of Germany and the
relative freedom with normal human
associations of those in the United
States.
These were the ones selected by DR..
Adolph Myer of Johns Hopkins, one of

VYoU ask how | managed to escape, to
reach your country alive. But perhaps
- my story is one which you have heard
before. You may even have grown a little
weary of it.
A guard is taken by SURPRISE killed. A
gray-haired fugitive plunges into the edge of
the forest. near the concentration camp.
For days he hides there, nibbling wretchedly
at the pieces of bread he has stuffed into his
shirt.
Then on the first starless night he dashes
past the sentries and jumps into the river,
with the bullets tipping and spashing as he
swims for the opposite shore.

to me these very dramatic details, they do
not seem of great importance in the story of
my escape.

strength, and the courage? That is what
seems important to me now.

Please do not ask me for names.

people.
For this crime, they came and dragged me
from my desk. And the fat sergeant - this

hate him, because understood. But Herman
- he did not understand much Of anything.
And he hated me, because he had been taught
to hate me.
I 1E WAS just an ordinary man, in an abnor-
NAL country. And because | was a former pro-
fessor, it was natural that he should be curious
about my opinions.
So at first he would ask me questions, pre-
tending that he was, as you say, pulling my
leg. would answer them honestly, and the
truth would send him into rage.

You will despise YOURSELF
I'VE will destroy you and your kind

And he would laugh. 'As tough as iron."
he would say laughing. But he could see the

He had me trained, finally, like an intelli-

for the sandbag.
Speak Professor" he would say. Speak

And would speak. Pick it up. put it

until my voice grew faint.
He knew the limits of my strength. Lift
it twelve times, ;" he would tell me, knowing
that the most could manage was nine or ten
There were three lashes for every time less
than twelve that | could lift the sandbag
from the ground to my shoulder.
When | was finally able to lift it twelve
times there were no beatings for few days.
Then the order was raised to sixteen From
sixteen it went to twenty, and at last to forty.
In two years, thirty-eight was the most
was ever able to do.
Il hope you have strong heart, he kept
saying. Il want you to die little at time"
Yes, | think he wanted to keep me alive.
1t was only while he watched my ridiculous
performance with the sandbag that he was
able to forget some of the things had told
him.
DOME nights | would lie awake thinking
Thinking of the other prisoners who were
there because they had been born, or because
they had the courage to speak the truth.
Thinking of the secret discussions we had,
and of the things we were pledged to do
those of us who got out alive. 1t was when
thought of the others that | felt sure my
heart was strong.
One day number of us prisoners were sent
to the edge Of the forest. to make clearing
for the enlargement of our camp.
1t seemed that many new arrivals were
expected.
We were under heavy guard. of course.
Herman never took his eyes off me for a
moment.
You are enjoying your work. he asked.
He was watching me with that greedy look.
1t meant trouble. Cutting down bushes, a
change from lifting sandbags, yes
Yes" said
Then you must quit it, he told me.
Come along | will give you some lifting to
do. A nice pile of rocks Your two years of
lifting experience should not be wasted my
friend"
He led me to path in the forest And he
started talking He was going to miss me.
he said He was being transferred to other
work

so you will not have to lift sandbags any

that is all over he said You are going to
be shot for trying to escape
There was a rifle in his hands He glanced
quickly over his shoulder looked, too There
was no one in sight.
On the whole. you have been good pupil
these two years." he said.
1t was then that knocked the rifle out of
his hands and got his neck in the crook of my
arm.

MANY YOUNG
MARYLANDERS
ARE EXAMINED
Over $4,000 Given A Complete
: Health Examination By
Bureau Child Hygiene
FURTHER CONFERENCES
y DURING CURRENT YEAR

Over 10000 young Marylanders
were given a complete health-exami-
ration and their mothers, or others in
charge, were advised as to follow-up
aRre at the health conferences held
II the counties in 1889 under the aus
rices of the Bureau of Child Hygiene
Of the State Health Department and
he County Health Departments.
Nearly 5000 of the children were
taken to the conferences for a return
ehecking-up. To 1875 of the young
sters, S,257 white and 5,478 colored,
ii was a new experience. The chill
dren ranged in age from very young
babies to their older brothers and sis
tiers who will soon go to school. Near
ly 1900 were under year old; over
5000 were from one to four; and
5,82S from five to six years old.
In issuing the report, DR.. r. II.
Riley, Director of the State Health
Department, explained that the pur-
pose of the conference is to prevent
sickness and to advise the mothers
how they may help to keep the chill
dren in good health. An effort is
made to point out conditions that
would develop into serious handicaps
if allowed to run on. Older children
who are attending school have similar
health supervision, DR.. Riley said, in
connection with the health services in
the schools.
Nearly one-fourth of the children
over 4,400-were free from conditions
requiring special attention. The next
big group, 3,550-2,645 white and 900
eolored-needed dental care. Tonsils
and unfavorable conditions of The
throat came in for special considera-
tion for $500 of the white children
and 1000 of the colored. Special ad-
vice as to food habits and food COM
binations was given for about 1000
ehildren-700 white and 500 colored
who were underweight or showed
ether signs of bad nutrition.
Protection against diptheria had
been neglected for 1000 of the chill
dren and over 1890 had not been vac
einated against smallpox. The i'm
portance of having the children safe
guarded against these diseases was
explained to- the mothers and clinics
were arranged in many places so that
they could be attended to. In con-
Aection with the various follow-up
activities resulting from the health
conferences, over $4,000 home visit
were made by the nurses from the
county health departments.
One or more child health confer
sAces, each month, is planned for each
81 the County Health Departments,
for the current year, DR. Riley said.
During the summer months they will
be supplemented by the tour of the
Health Trailer, which will reach
places Of fthe main highways. Ar
zangements are also being made, in
cooperation with the superintendent
Of schools and the Parent Teacher
Associations, for the usual series of
spring and summer conferences for
ne examination of the youngsters
nearing school age, in preparation for
their admission to school in the fall.
