Civic Veteran Works Hard
For D.C.Health Measures
Many Bills Pushed
By FederatiOn's
Health Chairman
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr.


Federation members hand a lot
of the credit for District advances
in the field of public health to their
veteran Health Committee chair
man, DR.. Charles B. Campbell.
A few paragraphs here and there
in the stories of testimony before
the Commissioners and Congress
during the past 10 years bears wit
ness to the activity of this cheerful
septuagenarian but some civic
leaders familiar with some of his
accomplishments are convinced he
should get rave notices.
Take the matter of pre-marital
blood tests for syphilis, for example.
DR.. Campbell, himself a skin spe-
cialist and syphilologist, pushed
support of a blood test bill through
the Federation. which had its Law
and Legislation Committees pre-
pare a bill on the subject. He sup
ported similar backing in the Dis
trict Medical Society.
The proposed bill is now before
the Commissioners for action. 9th
er civic groups, including the Board
of Trade, which had a bill of its own
on the subject, have supported such
tests in the measure which the
Health Department drafted.
Or take the case of the establish
ment of Barber and Cosmetology
Boards for the District. Dr. Camp
bell fought vigorously for approval
of this method of control, even
though my barber has stopped
speaking to me"
Opposed Slaughterhouse.
Without hesitation. though, he
will tell you his most difficult prob
lem in his civic experience was his
work for a law requiring the use
of a l per cent silver nitrate solu-
ton injection in babies eyes at
birth. 1t took neat bit of log

but it finally went through three
years ago.
Many groups" he said, had
been working four or five years to
get that through"
He was a member of the powerful
opposition to establishment of
slaughterhouse in Benning a few
years ago, his attack being from the
health rather than esthetic angle.
Always a strong supporter of the
Health Department and Health
Officer George c. Rutland. he has
defended both on the floor of the
federation and-when the District

weary from u hours of dodging
depth charges dropped by planes
and destroyers.
Many British and American naval
officers here say they believe the
submarine, which was attacked by
the Greer, was sunk in the action
with the American destroyer, and
the Berlin announcement, indicat-
ing that it escaped, was intended
to cover the loss.
May Have Surfaced for Night.
Another theory is that the U-hoat
was damaged but not sunk by the
Greer and that after diving to escape
the destroyer it surfaced during the
night. It's commander may then
have taken a desperate chance and
wirelessed his account of the en-
gagement to the German submarine
base at Brest.
1t was considered doubtful that
the submarine had yet made port.
To do that, naval observers said
she would have to do most of the
trip submerged, following tortuous
course to escape the hunters.
1t is surprising that a submarine
should attack destroyer. Destroy
ers are built to fight submarines and
the latter have little chance of vic
tory unless their first torpedo hits
the mark.
If this fails, the submarines Cnly
chance it to dive and play dead.
Once its position is known its
chances of survival become progress
sively simmer as more surface and
aerial craft enter into the search.

This applies even to Jewish heroes

The action in Hanover followed
one of the most sweeping recent
anti-Semitic measures taken in Ger
many, when police on Saturday de-
clared that henceforth Jews in
Greater Germany and Bohemia
must wear yellow six-pointed star
of David the size of the palm of the
hand when appearing in public.
The measure was intended, it was
officially explained, to make easier
the strict enforcement of regulations
which forbid Jews to shop in the
markets before certain hours, or to
appear in certain restaurants, the
aterS and parks.

cruelties of the German people
The author said Il don't think 1t
was my book that prompted this
barbarity. They employed every
possible German cruelty against the
Jews long before my book was
published"
kaufman added:
In July the Nazis claimed that
President Roosevelt wrote my book,
although I have never met Mr.
Roosevelt. Last week the Nazis
claimed that the President ordered
the destroyer Greer to fire upon their
submarine which is another German

the Presidents plan didn't cover
domestics.
When the controversy over the
census questions was at its height,
Mrs. Roosevelt dismissed the ques-
ton by saying, Il believe in telling
the truth always. I'm perfectly
willing to tell you that I'm 85."
Mrs. Roosevelt not only paid no
attention to her age. She was even
indifferent to such matters as an i'm
pacted hip and cracked bone. The
first the President heard about it
was six days after a bad fall when
she told him casually that she was
slightly handicapped in her walk
ing" She had been continuing her
usual activities. The President
made her go to bed.
Furs, orchids and gold lorgnette
were part of her regular costume
but behind the lorgnette we're blue
eyes that sparkled with humor.
There was the occasion, for in
stance, when young John Roosevelt
was asked by his father to accom-
pany her across rough stretch of
beach at picnic.

grandson. and she loved it.
Wrote Own Letters.
She carried her 5 feet 10 inches
erectly. Most of the time she wore
her white hair piled high, dowager
style. At 86 she read without
glasses, heard every word spoken
to her and took care of her vast
correspondence. She liked to write
her own letters.
Occasionally, Mrs. Roosevelt at
tended her daughter laws press
conferences where she was very pop
ular with the women reporters.
She was a frequent White House
visitor but, although she didn't
travel around as much as her
daughter -in-law, she never stayed
long here.
Over a period of few months
in 1888, for instance, she visited the
White House for the RooSevelts'
wedding anniversary; opened an
Easter sale for a hospital; was
guest at the launching of a ship;
attended a dinner for j. Ramsay
Macdonald, then White House
visitor; visited school in Georgia
where she addressed the student
body: attended the graduation of
grandson from Groton School: de-
livered a Mothers Day broadcast;
distributed the prizes at the
Dutchess County Fair and took
motor trip to Virginia.

She received a medal symbolic of
that title in 1887. But to the people
it was more than a title. When she
stopped off the train here the after
noon before the third inaugural, the
crowds cheered her. Wherever she
went that day spontaneous applause
rippled around her.
1t was a mother they were cheer
ing, a mother who had written
