DR.. A. Magruder Macdonald Dis

ciety. He reassured the public, how.

typhoid cases or insanitary water or

Act After Discussions.
The Medical Society's statement
was made public after the matter
had been discussed at several in
formal meetings. it was learned.
The proposal was advanced by the
Medical Society's Committee on
Public Health, Of which DR.. John A.
Reed, chief Of emergency service OF

committee post to take over other
society duties. DR.. Paul F. Dickens

The statement, issued with the
approval Of the Medical Society S
Executive Committee, declared that
due to the influx Of many thousands
of Government war workers. the
danger OF epidemics in Washington
cannot be discounted
The threat to the health of the
community" continued the state
ment," lies in the fact that some OF
these workers may be disease carriers
and others have not been properly
immuniZed against communicable
diseases. Those who have resided in
Washington for some time have been
afforded protection, but they. too
may be In danger because OF the
great movement of persons in and

The lack of medical and hygenic

People (Iamoring for
Real War News, Good
Or Bad;Maybe Coming
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 13.-In spite
of all that has been written or said,
1 doubt if the reading public, as
whole, is much excited over the APP
pointment of Elmer Davis as chief
of the office of War Information.
If it isn't, it's one of those mis-
takes which democracies sometimes
make. There hasn't been a man
come to Washington since the war
effort started who has had such
whole-hearted support-in advance
as Elmer Davis. If he fizzles in
his broad task to give the public all
of the news, clearly interpreted,
which won't seriously damage us by
providing information to the enemy,
it will be because there is something
incurably wrong with our informa-
ton system - and not necessarily
with Mr.. Davis.
The press relations battle in our
government is a four cOrnered fight.
The people, who after all are en-
titled to the first say, have as their
No l complaint that they are not
being reliably informed; that much
information is conflicting; and that
too much of it is delayed.
There is a second group, centered
in Congress but not exclusively
there, which contends that the pres
ent set-up is costly. inept. and con-
cerned principally with grinding its
own agency axes.
A third faction in the battle royal
feels that the public SHOULD be fed
only propaganda -should be told only
what is good for 1t in the light OF
our war effort and that all press
relations agencies should be CO.
ordinated with this in mind.
The fourth battalion is composed
of certain "ins' and their supporters
and some of these, sadly enough,
would be willing to sabotage any
change to prove their present SET
ups are the most effective.
Davis enters the arena a Top
flight favorite with all but the last
group and those who think the news
should be buttered on both sides be-
fore it's handed over for public con-
sumption. Davis, in his journalistic
endeavors both in print, and on the
radio. has proved that he belongs to

major Robert s. Allen on active duty)

Observation-Disclosures the Ar
Navy attempts to blast the Japs
out of the Aleutian Island is more
than natural antipathy to having
an enemy on American soil or the
fear of an invasion of Alaska.
These are important. But, in adj
dition, events in Egypt may mean
more than ever we shall have to
use these vital stepping stones Of
the Aleutian Islands to carry the
war to the heart of Japan.
To get the full significance of
the picture it is necessary to recall
that ever since Pearl Harbor there
has been an honest difference of
opinion among U. S. war strategists
as to whether we should concentrate
on fighting Japan in the Pacific
or Hitler in Europe.
At one time, shortly after Pearl
Harbor, high-up U. S. naval adj
visers worked out an elaborate war
plan, which is no longer secret,
for concentrating almost all our
naval strength in the Pacific and
making direct attack on the Jap
anese islands-at a time when the
Japs had their lines dispersed TO
Manila, Singapore and the South
Seas.
But the plan meant leaving the
Atlantic coast relatively unguarded,
also virtually abandoning conveys 70
Britain and Russia In the end It
was decided that the Russian front
was all-important and must be sup
piled at all costs. The wisdom OF
this decision seems to have been
borne out by subsequent events.

However, those who urge the all

their argument has been streng

is the fact that the Japs, obviously
