Medical Standards at Stake

It looks as if quick Congressional action is needed to preserve the present high professional standards Of the medical fraternity - and so protect the public health. It is probable that when the yari- ous antitrust laws were passed, Congress did not think that they would be applied to scientific groups such as the American Medical Association, as they are applied to profit-controlllng industrial combina. tIoEls.
 However, more than year ago, the principal officials of that Association, which includes doctors with international reputatlons. were tried on a charge Of 'scrlminal conspiracy to restrain trade" and found guilty. The decision was sus- talned by tie U. 6.

 The opening on Saturday of the Charter Oak Bridge, over the Con- necticut River at South Hartford, marks the completion of an im- portant link in Connecticut's park way system. New Workers familiar with the Merritt Parkway are aware of the skill and artistry with which that route has been laid out. Its broad dividing border separating the east and west bound traffic is one of its most attractive features. From the Housatonic River onward the parkway is named after Governor Wilbur Cross. This section runs north of Bridgeport and New Haven and will tunnel through the famous West Rock. Thence it goes north of Meriden to South Hartford, whence it will cut across diagonally to the northeast corner of Connecticut to join with the Massachusetts, park way system.
 Apart from its structural interest 1t Is 104 feet above the normal level of the river and has a length of 842 feet-the Charter oak Bridge deserves attention because 1t shows how wise planning can alleviate traffic congestion. It is only since the development Of parkways in the last two decades that the principle has been followed Of q 'oidIng traiiic centers. The new bridge will enable

You can look for greater governmental control over the production and flow ot raw materials of all kinds. This control VIII be exerted by the War Production Board. The very heart of the mass-pr production Sys- tenn is rigorous control of this kind. In peacetime we make better and cheaper cars than any other country made be- cause the auto industry had developed an astonishing system whereby every part, from a screw to an engine, arrived where it was needed at the moment 1t was needed. So far, the War Production Board has not succeeded in achieving really efficient harnessing of materials.

Congress is to be congratulated upon the decision not to defer payments to service mems dependents until almost the day before election. Perhaps there was no political significance in the date originally set for the checks to go out. But people do talk and some of the things they said weren't pleasant. If the legis- lators thought they were slipping over fast one by arranging to have the Treas uryS reminders of federal thoughtfulness arrive just as families were leaving for the polls, they were mistaken. The pub lie used to be naive. Its eyes are opened wider now.

News reports the last few days indicate that 5OO0O homes on the East coast would change from oil burners to coal burners within the next two months. At the same time hundreds of thousands of large buildings may be equipped with coal burning furnaces. Congressmen have been told by Federal Fuel Ration Chiefs that the shortage of fuel oil may make it necessary to shut down several of our war plants this winter. This short age is laid to lack of transportation. Somehow the problem is bound to be solved. The folks in the United States aren't accustomed to suffering from lack of fuel and they'll get it and when they do, it vii lnot be too late.

 He is the rootin-to -tootin, rip- snorting ex-preacher, ex-disciple of Huey Long, Gerald L. K. Smith, now engaged in haranguing every crossroads in Michigan in his campaign to become the Repub- lican candidate for the U. s. Sen- ate.
 The Michigan primaries are on Sept. 15. And according to
 current political dope, Gerald L. K. Smith has a good chance of winning the Republican nom- inatiOn.
 To Washington, the Rev. Smith Is a familiar figure. He first appeared on the horizon with Huey Long, when that ebullient senator was accompanied by a host of bodyguards, cannp-follow- CTS and others interested in &C., quiring the secret of Huey's poI- tical magic.
 After he had sat at Huey's knee long enough to learn the secredt of rabble-rousing, Gerald went out to help Lemke organize the Funny Money" Third Party in 1886, and he has been haranguing ever since. Incidentally he gets part of his financial support from certain big business leaders and isolationist newspaper publishers who have leaned toward Ameri- can fasciSm.
 TIRES FOR EVERYBODY
 In his Michigan campaign, however, Gerald is moxing the Huey Long recipe for grand-- standing with a lot of smart poli- tics. His chief platform is TIRES FOR EVERYBODY" and he car- ries with him asynt hetic tire which he says was made out of farm products. He quotes Henry Ford and Dow Chemical to the effect that it is easy to make these tires out of alcohol and thereby help the farmers.
 Instead, the Roosevelt Ad- miniStratiOn he says has played into the hands of the big oil companies, who don't want cOm- petition from the farmers in making synthetic rubber after the war is over.
 What Gerald L. K. Smith has to say about the bungling of synthetic rubber has a great deal ;,du of truth ]. in it. And tHe public
 So Smith has pounded home this simple issue, which every child can understand, at hundreds of crossroads up and down the state of Michigan. Speaking sometimes to ten communities a day, he has organized automobile owners, with a captain in each community, on the promise that he will get "Tires for Everybody"
 NOTE; If the rabble-rousing 1. Smith should won the Republican nomination and later defeat Dem- ocratic Senator PrentiSs Brown, he would sit beside Michigan's scholarly, bespectacled Arthur Vandenburg. considered one of the most "sound" and solemn conservatives in the Senate. WAR FLASHES

 Q.why does dry sand weigh more than wet sand?
 A. When sand Is dampened mod erately its volume increases out of all proportion to the amount of water added.

B, the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt signed yester-
day q measure which sets up $780,
O0O, 900 Government corporation to
help small businessmen get war
contracts and also eases the re-
strictions of the antitrust laws to
forward the Nations war program.
After consulting with the Attor-
ney General, the chairman of the
War Production Board is authorized
to approve war production pro-
grams without regard to the anti
trust and Federal Trade Commis-
sion laws. The WPB chief would
have to certify that the programs
he approved were necessary to the
conduct of the war.
The section was designed to re-
move the fears of businessmen that
they might be prosecuted later for
carrying out certain projects as
signed them by WPB.
The smaller War Plants Corp.
created by the new law is author
lied to finance plant construction
and expansion by small businesses
and to enter into Government con-
tracts which would be sublet to

Motor Corps Assured
Gas for Transporting
Donors Of Blood
Members Are Eligible
For Supplemental
Rotions, Officials Soy

Members of the American Red
Gross Motor Corps. many Of whom
have exhausted their gasoline ra-
tions using their cars to transport
donors to the Red Gross Army and
Navy blood donor center. were as
sured by District rationing authori-
ties today that they may obtain
supplemental rations to continue
that work.
This development came as Mrs.
Vera D. Stout, who is in charge of
appointments at the blood donor
center at Twenty-third street and
Constitution avenue NV. report
ed that about three-fourths of an
original force of about 40 volunteer
drivers had been forced to stop
transporting donors to the center
because they have used all of their
gasoline rationing units, most of it
in the transportation work.
The situation had threatened to
hamper the work of the center Sc
riously. because it is dependent to a
large extent on the Motor Corps
transportation service. Members of
the corps have been transporting
100 or more persons to the center
every day. the great majority OF
them from Government depart
ments.
In many instances. Mrs. Stout
said, this transportation service
means the difference between hav-
ing donors or not having them.
Under agreements worked out with
Government personnel officers,
groups of workers are given linn
tied leave to visit the center and
donate the blood so vitality needed
by the Nations armed forces If
the cars aren't available to trans
port them. the employees often can't
make the trip. In recent days. many
prospective blood donors from the
ranks Of Federal workers have been
unable to 60 to the center because
there weren't enough cars to take
the entire group waiting to go.
Officials of the District Rationing
Administration pointed out that an
amendment in the gasoline ration
ing regulations put in effect by
OPA recently makes specific pro-
vision for work of this type
The amendment states: Persons
rendering volunteer services for, or
receiving training by, the Ameri-
can Red Cross may obtain a sup
Elemental ration if such services
are essential to the public welfare
or the war effort, and no other
means of transportation reasonably
adequate for the purpose is avail
able"
Rationing officials said members
of the motor corps are eligible under
this provision to obtain supple
mental rations, and they may do
so by presenting statements from
the Red Cross showing the number
of miles they are driving in con-
ducting the transportation service
and estimating how much gasoline
they will need to continue that work
until the permanent gasoline ration
ing plan goes in effect.
Some members of the corps ad-
ready had obtained supplemental
cards, but virtually all of them were
given only "a" cards-the basic
ration card-and in some instances
a number of units Of the supple
mental cards were detached before
the cards were issued.

tobacco Heart Prevalent
In Youths, Speaker Says

Many young men are being re-
jected for military service because
they have narcotic heart caused by
tobacco, the Rev. c. S. Longacre
told approximately 1000 persons at
services last night at the annual
camp meeting in Takoma Park,
Md, of the Potomac Conference
of Seventh-Day AdventistS.
Declaring tobacco is doing practi-
cally as much physical harm AS
liquor. Mr.. Longacre said heart
disease among the youths. almost
unknown a generation ago, is be-
coming prevalent. He also en-
phasized the necessity for action
restricting the use of liquor in the
Army camps.
During the business session the
Rev. J. Ernest Edwards of the Home
Missionary Department reported
that 1928 persons we're given help
in the conference area, and 43,277
articles of clothing distributed dur
ing the last two years.
In addition the welfare work of
the Washington Sanitarium and
Hospital amounted to s7S,42o55 for
the l940-4l period. The Prince
Georges Health Center at Hyatts-
vile, which is a clinic sponsored
by the Adventists. reported 1895

tions. -
