For q Stronger America
Cannon 100 Pct.' for Stepup
In School Medical Proqroms
Has His Doubts
About Expanding
Physical Education
(15th of q Series.)
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr

by JOdN w. IdOMfSON, JT.
With only a few exceptions, nearly
all the physical defects for which
men have been rejected by the
Army can be and are being cor
rected, DR.. James A. Cannon, a
member of the Board of Education,
said today in giving his 100 per
cent" support to proposals to step
up the public school medical, dental
inspection and follow-up programs
carried on by the Health Depart
ment.
The surgeon, however, expressed
doubts whether a stepped-up physi-
cal education program in the schools
consisting of more activity and
health study periods-would con-
tribute to improved physical fitness
among the population.
But my mind is still open on
that question" he added, until
see all the evidence"
Several other members of the
Board of Education and school off,
Gals favor introduction into all
senior high schools of the FIVE
period-a-week physical education
program now in effect for all pupils
at Calvin Coolidge High School and
partially at Woodrow Wilson and
Roosevelt High Schools.
Most Can be Corrected.
Pointing to the fact that about
one third of the physical reflections
were for dental and eye defects, DR..
Cannon, who is vice chairman of
a local draft appeals board, said
most of these cases can be corrected.
With the exception of cardiovas-
cular diseases, some hearing defects,
mental and nervous diseases, some
musculoskeletal diseases and some
lung ailments, the surgeon said prac-
tically all conditions which caused
rejection can be and are being cor
rected.

Asparagus Industry Warned.

SAN FRANCISCO, March II up.
The Office Of Price Administration
got its dander up yesterday over the
price of asparagus.
Harry Camp, regional director,
told the industry that prices had
to come down or the Army wouldn't t
eat asparagus
The Army refused to buy aspara-
gus from last years pack, Camp said,
because 1t considered the price too
high. So there Is a lot Of aspara-
gus still in the warehouses-though
other lines of canned goods are sold
out.
The o. p. A. spokesman had this
to say:
"The price of asparagus has been
so high that Government agencies
have uniformely refused to purchase
asparagus during the last several
months.
"The public is not buying aspara-
gus In normal quantities.
Some in the industry seem to
think the Government will pay any
price.
This is q very grave mistake.
Washington has advised this Office
that asparagus will be entirely elm
mated from the Army menu and the
Government will not purchase q siA-
gle case Of asparagus at excessively
high prices"
