revealed.
Less professionally stated, the ma
chine makes it possible f1guratively
to slice a patient and photograph
the particular slice pertinent to the
diagnosis. The same room houses
another camera which takes the
full thickness, but gives a stereopti-
con effect.
Adjacent to this room is that in
which the huge deep therapy ma
chine is located. It packs SOC, 600
volt wallop, but the three-ton
movable section is well-behaved
when the proper buttons are
touched. The rays can be focused
on a small area. They are likely
to bounce around after passing

To Study Pressure Effects.
Enough facts for a book. or at
least q thick pamphlet, were tossed
at the party as 1t wound in and out
of wards and laboratories. Here are
few:
The research building will have
elaborate equipment for the study
of pressure effects on deep-sea div
ers, submarine crews and aviators,
now considered the most important
field Of naval physiological study.
The Navy Is obtaining . patent
on a type Of light metal brace de-
veloped by the Dental School for use
in treatment of jaw fractures.
The medical library at the center
can accommodate 10000 volumes,
now has more than 10000. including
q number Of rare 18th and 18th
century works believed the only
copies in existence because only
known duplicates are understood to
have been destroyed In London
bombings.
Present construction provides q
bed capacity Of $50 which will be ex-
panded to more than 1000. Sepa-
rate buildings house 276 Hospital
Corpsmen and n nurses. Houses
for principal officers are located on
the grounds.
Much Stainless Steel
Stainless steel has been used
freely in cabinets and other equip
ment, because orders were filled well
in advance Of priority restrictions.
The main operating room Is lined
with pink Tennessee marble anc has
two glass-enclosed viewing labora-
tories and a public address system
by which the surgeon can explain
through a lapel microphone.
"Dr. Kildare" is not called by q
metallic voice issuing from loud
speaker. Numbers of those wanted
flash simultaneously on glass panels
throughout the institution, and q
buzzer attracts attention.
The auditorium, with balcony,
seats nearly 600 and is intended to
serve for recreational and instruc-
tive programs and church services
on Sundays.

Tire Rotionine Is One
Of Foctors Threatening
Educational System
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Feb. Tire ra-
tioning is intensifying teacher short
ages and creating a serious problem
of its own for Maryland school ad-
ministrators.
The results have been felt most
Immediately in the crowded Bal
timore- Washington area, but ulti-
mately they are expected to be most
severe in sparsely populated areas
of the Eastern Shore and far West
ern Maryland.
Supt. Erwin w. Broome Of Mont
gomery County says effects Of tire
rationing "are going to be q ter
rife problem" bringing, with other
rationing, changes in living habits.
Begins Training Teachers.
Before Thanksgiving 81 teachers
left Montgomery schools, three
fourths of them men. Since Christ
mas, Dr. Broome says. there hasn't
been a day we haven't had to call
in more substitutes"
To fill personnel gaps. DR.. Broome
has instituted a school now train
ing approximately go teachers for
positions for the duration OF the
war;
But DR.. Broome classes the per-
sonnel problem last on a list Of
three. First, he says, is the "dif-
ficulty of doing anything In a normal
way" because of rapidly changing
conditions. Second is a tremendous
population shift with a rapid turn
over of students as Government
families move in and out Of WASH
ington.
Orem Cites Student Flood.
Nicholas Oren, Prince Georges
County superintendent, feels his
greatest problem is handling stu
dents who are flooding in here"
He has been forced to close voca-
tional shop courses in Greenbelt
and Hyattsville because he could
not replace two man teachers. There
have been a total 152 vacancies in
q stan of 557 teachers since last
July. On the last two Saturdays
IS teachers have given notice Of
resignation.
To meet tire rationing, Mr.. Orem
said, Eve are attempting to change
teacher assignments to schools near
the teachers present homes SO they
will have q shorter distance to
travel"
