scores of letters from commune
ties throughout the United States
telling of medical needs, asking
''Why can't a refugee physician
come to practice here ?" The truth
seems to be that most graduates
of American medical schools want
to S stay in the cities or larger
towns where hospital facilities are
better, work less grueling and re-
wards potentially higher. The
country doctor, famed in story,
drama and autobiography, is a
vanishing American. Consider, for
instance, this petition addressed to
the State Medical Examiners of
Virginia:
1--WE the undersigned do hereby
petition you to allow a well
trained German emigre doctor to
come into our community at Fort
Blackmore, Va, and practice med
icine. We have lost by death both
the doctors that took care of us
and at the present time do not
have adequate medical care at a
price we can afford to pay. We
have tried by all methods known
to us to get doctor for our COM
munity but have failed and now
many of our people are suffering
from a lack of medical care. :"
This petition was signed by 1874
adults who had, in addition, I'll
children. a total of 1,145 per-
sons almost completely deprived of
a physicians attention. Paradox
cally enough there are, in New
York and elsewhere, many ready
and anxious to go out into one of
these medically deserted regions
to build a modest practice. These
are the refugee doctors, many of
them trained in the best schools Uf
Europe, some with internationally
brilliant regulations, yet barred
from practice in all but a few
states.

threats by agents of the German
Secret Police, who operate quite
freely in this country and who
make every effort to change the
allegiance of the German Ameri-
cans from the United States to the
Hitler-Fatherland.
The most amazing feature of
this campaign of terror and black
mail, according to DR.. Dunner, is
its effectiveness. The victims at
first are naturally outraged and
indignant. But German mass psy-
chology is different from that of
any other group, writes DR.. Dun
ner. The German worships force
and success. Even though born
in America he tends to return to
the German conceptions of au-
thority and blind obedience" And
so, although originally drafted in
to the Bund movement by black
mail, he remains in it and is gradu-
ally converted to sincere admira-
ton of Hitler's victories.

The st. Louis Cardinals may not
be going anywhere, but they re
unquestionably going there fast.
Since Billy Southworth assembled
CD to the managership last week
the club has won five games and
hasn't been beaten. But the Cards
were in such desperate circum-
stances to begin with that this
spectacular streak hasn't been good
enough to get them out Of the Ma
tional Leagues second division and
they'll have to keep going at a good
clip to overtake the Chicago Cubs,
who are five games ahead Of them.
Cards Boost Nuisance Value.
But regardless of whether the
Redbirds ever get into the first
division, they are pretty sure to
cause a lot Of commotion for the
rest OF the season. They created
quite bit yesterday by blockading
the Brooklyn Dodgers, 81, and
enabling the Cincinnati Reds to re.
gain first place.
All Of the Cardinal runs against
Brooklyn were unearned, because Of
four Dodger errors, but this does not
mean st. Louis didn't deserve to win.
Clyde Shoun made his first start
OF the season and went the complete
route for the first time since 1898,
holding Brooklyn to four hits.
While this was going on the Reds
reaped 90 triumph at Philadelphia
to take a full-game jump over the
Dodgers and also shove the Phillies
into the National Leagues cellar.

NEW YORK, June 18-The pass
ing of no British player could have
affected American poloists more
deeply than the death of Hugo
Hesketh Hughes, killed in France
while serving as second lieutenant
in the Welsh Guards.
Hexie Hughes was a blithe per-
sonality. He was infectiously gay
His presence in any gathering
meant an accentuation of good fell
lowship and convival spirit. A gen.
tleman wanderer of the world, he
was not precisely the accepted type
of nomadic Englishman, inasmuch
as he had either sloughed of the
characteristic reserve of his kind
or never had possessed it.
Had American characteristics.
American polo players found him
very much of their sort. which is to
say that his humor and his reac-
tions were the same as theirs. In
his polo all his instincts were for
the hell-for-leather, hard-hitting
type of game which is so charac-
teristic of high-goal polo in this
country. He never gave ground,
with him it was always attack.
Short, bow-legged, inclined to
badness, he was a veritable fire.
brcnd in game. Hughes was here
last year as a member of Lord
Cowdray's invading force in quest
OF the international Trophy, and
why he did not make the team
puzzled expert observers of the
American side.
AS matter of fact, he was tried
two or three times when the Brit
ish were practicing in California
and the supposition is that his slam
bang style of play did not fit into
the British plan of conquest.
But when the United States team
went to England to play for the ia
nous trophy in 1896 Hughes was in
at No. for the English four. His ex-
ploits in the first game of the series
at Hurlingham were not short of
extraordinary. Out of six chances
to score in that contest he made
good on every one.
One goal he shot, hitting a weirdly
bounding ball with the shank of
his mallet, has gone down in inter-
national polo annals as one of the
brilliant expositions of stickwork in
the long polo rivalry between Great
Britain and America. Because of
his fiery play and accurate hitting
the British tied the score in the
