Reorganization Unit
Quits Without Action
Gurrett Report Cites
Unjust Criticism
Of Association

A committee appointed to con-
slider the reorganization of the Dis
trict tuberculosis Association re-
signed today with the statement its
members are convinced there is no
possibility of making any report or
taking any action which amounts
even approximately to a satisfactory
solution
The committee issued a statement
signed by Ross Garrett. chairman,
and DR.. Watson w. Eldridge and
Willard c. Smith, declaring the
members have and will have no
further comment" on the matter.
The committee, it was said. feels
that it can no longer use its au-
thority to suppress any answers
f1cm any source. 1t therefore turns
back to the Board of Directors all
the information which it has COL
lected, Surrenders its authority, and
suggests the exercise of freedom of
speech by all individuals concerned
according to the dictates of their
respective judgments and con-
sciences"
Criticisms Unjust
The statement said further:
1T tthe committee knows that
the District of Columbia Tubercu-
losis Association throughout its en-
tire existence has done a splendid
service for the community. The de-
velopment of scientific knowledge
about tuberculosis has led to periodic
changes in its program 1t appears,
however, that the association can
not make further desirable changes
without criticism from some capable
and estimable sources. The COM
mittee, even with all the facts at
hand, cannot answer criticism on
one hand without incurring criticism
on the other.
1T sees merit in some of the
viewpoints which have been pre-
sented and injustice in many of
the criticisms which have been
made. Moreover, it is unsatisfed
with most of the recommendations
and suggestions of local and other
authorities. In an effort to uphold
justice with dignity, the commit
tee has used its plenary authority to
silence those who cOnScientiOuSly
believe, and have reason to believe,
that they have adequate answers to
unjust criticism"
Steps to reOrganize the association
were taken several weeks ago at
about the time sharp criticism was
leveled at the group by DR.. A.
Barklie Coulter, director of the Bu-
reau of tuberculosis, District Health
Department. DR.. j. Winthrop Pea
body, president of the association,
| announced that the reorganization
was ordered on the basis of a years
study under his administration.
Coulter Voices Charges.
DR.. Coulter charged a large part
of the associations funds were being
spent for salaries and administra-
| ton expenses.
Addressing the Medical Society of
the District. he asked that judgment
be withheld until the society had a
chance to "straighten out it's own
affairs"

association and chief of the Health

If it does I'm ready"
Referring to the Nazi regime, the
North CarOlinian told his colleagues
that IF We were as peaceful as
lambs-if we appease them with
everything We have, they would not
hesitate TO attack US

The plea of Senator Bailey for
passage of the bill. not as a favor
to Great Britain, but in our own
best interests. moved many of his
colleagues to hurry over and shake
his hand as he sat down.
Speaking without prepared manu-
script, the North Carolinian, who
frequently disagreed with the Presi-

those who insist on knowing Eng

Mind Utterly Changed.
Senator Bailey recalled that he
had opposed repeal Of the arms
embargo in 1889 but said he had
utterly changed his mind because
OF events since then and favored
intervention" by the United States
TO aid Britain.
Describing Britain as mot an
ally Of the United States but only
a customer-for cash" under pres
ent laws, Senator Bailey asserted:
To go on as We now are doing is
to invite triumph of the otalltarian
powers"
This, he said, would mean that
these powers would divide up the
world and attack the United States.
This British aid bilD course is

not neutrality. 1t is a reversal Of
the policy We laid down in the Neu-
trallty Act and for which I spoke.

Answering the iSolatiOnist plea
for a negotiated peace, Senator
Bailey shouted, I don't want Hit

You can have negotiated peace

LOCAL ROTARIANS VISIT
CRISFIELD WE'D. NIGHT

The local Rotary Club attended a
meeting in Crisfield on Wednesday
evening, this being the final one stag
ed by the clubs from Princess Anne,
Pocomoke, and Crisfield in "get-
together" annual event. Between rs
and 80 were present. The dinner
was served by the ladies of the East
ern Star in the Masonic Temple.
The speaker of the evening was DR..
R. G. Steinmeyer, Professor of Po-
litical Economy, University of Mary
land, and his talk was concerned with
the situation in Europe. The Doc
tor was rather pessimistic with re-
gard to the outcome, that is, so far
as the British fortunes are concerned.
He closed with a very eloquent ap-
peal COR a defense of Democracy
which we think is the finest system of
government in the world.
Besides DR.. Steinmeyer, the presi-
dents of the Princess Anne club and
the Pocomoke Club, Messrs. C. N.
Baughn and r. Harlan Robertson, re-
spectively, made short addresses.

CONSTRUCTION OF
MANY MILES OF
ELECTRIC Use
Somerset County Advised OF
Approval Of Contracts For
More Than 600 Miles

The office of the county agent of
Somerset County, has been advised
by the Van Mort Engineering Com
pany that the rural identification
administration this week gave formal
approval to the contractor and orders
have been given by the Choptank Co.
operative, to the Day and thinner
man Company, of Philadelphia, to
start the construction of the more
than 600 miles of electric line in the
three counties of Worcester, Wicomi-
co and Somerset, also several extern
sions to the lines in the Upper Shore
counties.
The stalking of the lines have been
practically completed in this county
and it is expected that the contractor
will start force, clearing the right
of way within the next ten days or
two weeks. The contractor is allow
ed 100 days to complete the entire
project, this will require the building
of about three miles of line a day,
for the next six months.
Final steps were taken this week to
obtain lot for the substation, where
the rural electric line will be wired
into the high transmission line of the
Eastern Shore Public Service Com
pany which will sell the current at
wholesale rates to the cooperative.
It is expected that the 377 members
in Somerset County will receive Of
ficial notice within a few weeks from
the Cooperative, to wire their homes
and be ready to receive the electric
current when it is made available
later in the summer. The coopera-
tive will furnish specifications for
wiring, type of inlets, and the type
of wiring which should be used in
the home and farm buildings and for
electric appliances and motors.
Several hundred members of the
Cooperative attended the series of
community meetings held several
weeks ago in the county and heard
Mr.. A. V. Krewatch extension spec
ialist discuss the wiring of homes and
electric power on the farm.

Fred Caspari of the State Department
of Health in Baltimore. His talk
should be sort of a warning to those
who are drinkers of raw milk as it
was very plainly told of the countless
number of dangers that are always
present when people drink raw milk
and how all of these can be remedied
by the simple process of pastueriza-
ton, which takes nothing away from
the quality of the milk but adds one
big factor and that is safety.
The meeting was under the direc-
