Anti tuberculosis League Sponsoring
 Campaign Locally
Work of Organization in Combating "White Plague Outstanding ,OOO Needed to Carry on During
 Coming Year; Seals Mailed to Friends Today

leagues report showed mortality rate of 32 per 100000.
 Tt seems" says Miss Anna G. Murphy, member of the nursing staff, that the mortality rate is lowered with the addition of every bed for Sanatorium care"
 In the past 10 months, the league was responsible for the discovery and diagnosis of 90 cases of tuber- culosis in Waterbury. In many cases the victims were young people of high school age, and altogether too often the disease struck in poor families. In many cases, however, through the efforts of the league to provide quick treatment, com- plete cure was effected.
 Arrangements for sanitarium care is only one phase of the organiza- tion's work. Other phases include the educational program, the tuber- culin tests, and the X-ray research.
 This years financial goal is $500 higher than last year, but the amount is reasonable when it is con- Sloered that last years drive netted $200 more than the goal.
 The Anti Tuberculosis League is Waterbury institutio nsponsored by Waterbury people. William J. Pape is president; Rt. Rev. Monsignor Jo- seph Valdambrini is president: Stuart E. Judd is secretary and C.. Raymond Ganung, treasurer. Mem bers of its board of directors are Henry D. Burrall, Thomas J. Con- don, Miss Edith M. Chase, Dr. John H. Foster, William M. Harris, Miss Margery K. Hayden, Mrs. E. Burn ley Powell, Jr., Walter Torrance and the officers. Frederick s. Cor ham is director emeritus
 The administrative staff consists of William M. Harris as manager and the two nurses, Mrs. George T. Jackson and Miss Murphy.

TURKEY TO FIGHT
 SAYS DR LENCYEL
Beth=El Men Told Russia Suspected of Sailing for
 Time By Famous Author

Turkey has finally made up it's mind to fight the Axis powers" stated Dr. Emil Lengyel, author and lecturer, at the Beth-El Mems Forum last evening in the syna- gogue's auditorium.
 Molotof's visit to Hitler was prob- lematic, sand Dr. LengyeI, who sus- poets that Russia is stalling for time, meanwhile deciding what course to follow thta will prove most advantageous to Russia.
 The speaker foresees a United States of Europe in the future ad- mitting though, that the vision right now is very faint. He added that he would not be surprised to find Russia secretly or openly giv- ing help to Turkey.
 A native of Hungary, Dr. Leng- vel served in the Hungarian army during the World War, was cap- tured and exiled to Siberian pris- on. His experiences there turned his hair white and provided him ma- terial for the first of number oi interesting books. He said last night that he has never had any desire to return to Hungary because he regards the country as reactionary and futile. He became an American citizen in 1921.
