to this agreement for the WPB.
BY october, the FWA had an
nounced the results of its survey
and a hospital building program OF

cost of s4,869, ITO Also in October
the WPB approved the first FWA-
approved project-the building of a

WPB Opens Own Probe.
Since then, however. no further
projects have been approved by
the WPB and last week it wa,
learned the WPB had launched ar
investigation of its own to deter.
mine the Districts hospital need,
and what should be done about
them, particularly with a view to.
ward eliminating construction pro.
Jects and doubling up on space ir
existing hospitals.
In the connection, Chairman
Randolph's letter said:
The newspapers of the last few
days have carried stories concerning
the studies made under your direc-
ton, the results of which apparentl,
indicate that full use is not being
made OF the available hospital IA
cillties and expansion is not neces-
sary. This Office has had numerous
cases presented where it was i'm
possible to gain admittance because
all hospitals were filled to capacity
A case in point is the Georgetown
University Hospital Under the
authorization of the Federal Works
Agency, two buildings were dcmol-
ished with the understanding that
they were to be immediately re-
placed by larger and more modern
structures. At this time the nurses
recreation room is being used as q
receiving room for cadavers.
Mr.. Randolph reminded Mr.. Nav
erick that when he appeared before
the House Committee last January
Mr.. Maverick said he would like tc
have report made within a week

Boston Girls Rejected

BOSTON, July ga civilian de-
tense agency request for the names
and addresses of delinquent girls so
that social workers could visit their
homes has met firm refusal from
Police Commissioner Joseph F.
Timilty.
John ]. Walsh, director OF the
Boston Committee on Public Safety,
which requested the names, ex-
pressed hope last night that Mr..
Timilty would change his decision
after comforting with Army and Navy
authorities.
Mr.. Walsh described conditions in
some Of the city's night-life sections
as deplorable and said it was one of
the functions of the civilian defense
program to protect the morals and
safety OF young girls.
Mr.. Timilty, terming the home,
the police and the courts the proper
agencies for dealing with delin-
quency, said in a statement:
'The idea of social workers at
tempting to enter the home and tell
the parents what they should do
with their children Is, In my opinion
a step toward Communism, step
toward Naziism. 1t is certainly un-

Marshal Fronchet-dEsperey
Of France Dies at Age of sc
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VICHY, July 9-Marshal Louis
Franchet- d 'Esperey, who rose from
volunteer soldier to marshal, the
highest dignity in the French Army,
is dead at the age Of 86.
His death, announced last night,
left Frances chief of state, Mar
shall Petain, as her only living mar
shall.
Louis Felix Marie Francois Fran
chet-d 'Esperey was living example
of the fact that under the French
republic, as in the days of the first
empire, Napoleon's dictum that
every soldier in the ranks car
ried a baton of marshal in his
haversack" could come true.
Joining the army as volunteer
at the age of 18, dEsperey rose from
a soldier of the second class to the
highest military dignity that France
can confer. He did not miss a

single grade from corporal up to
marshal of France.
A rigid discIplinarian, dEsperey
was the type of officer who was re-
garded by the man in the ranks as
hard boiled"
During the summer campaign in
the Balkans, which caused the COL
lapse of Bulgaria and opened the
road to Vienna, the general on many
occasions ate with the troops and
shared the soup of the soldiers.
He never forgave Clemenceau for
preventing him from pushing on to
Vienna. The orders to halt came
from Paris at time when the
armies under dEsperey's command
held all the passes in the noun
tains, all the main roads and rail-
ways and the crossings of the
Danube, and the march on to
Vienna, with a demoralized enemy
offering not the slightest defense,
would have been simply a parade,
d'Esperey always claimed. But po-
litical considerations were already
entering even then-October, 1873
in military affairs and the conquer
ing armies were stopped.

Jocko, the monkey who appears

rule that all monkeys shall be mis-
chievous rascals. Though perhaps
in Jocko's case it isn't so much

plain testiness. the kind frequently
found in homo sapienS.
One of Pal Jockos chores in the
show is to wear feminine attire and
jog about the ring on the back of

Being bounced on the back of an
undersized horse, it appears, works
hardship on Jocko's delicate nervous
system, but it is a stunt to which he
has become resigned.

when it comes to being dressed like

he will invariably try to tear off the
garments before they have a chance
to settle about his knotty figure.
There is but one prohibitive: warm
toast. Give him warm toast and

man until the act goes on. Once
On, he has enough staying on those
furiously bouncing backs to worry
about frocks.

So many of our rich and success

how they got that way, "Oh, guess

heh, heh." And then they will settle
back into their plush and casually
flick an ash from their king-size
cigarette, while you uncasually
loosen your collar and stagger to-
ward the fire escape for some fresh
air, mumbling "Oh, where have
heard that before?"
But in the modest case of Gloria
Hope you must either accept the
lucky star or nothing at all. She
believes it, and what's more stares
levelly at you as she confesses 1t

That Miss Hope fits into the "suc-

NEWS In THE WORLD
OF RELIGION
By w. w. Reid

Sunday, February /, will be OBJ.
served by the Baptists of the world
as a day of united thanksgiving
prayer, and testimony, according to
the call issued from London, Eng.
of the Baptist World Alliance. In
connection with this day, Brit
ish Baptist are celebrating the
one hundred fiftieth anniversary OF
the founding among them of the
Baptist Foreign Missionary Society
in 1892. THAT, says DR.. Rush
brooke, twas year of war and
confusion; but precisely then God
brought new and glorious thing to
pass. Surely it is conceivable that
amid the turmoil and distress of a
vaster war, he may bring to birth
something yet more splendid.
Something of the suffering of the
Chinese and the way in which Chris
tian groups are trying to help the
victims of war is pictured in this
report from DR.. John Hylbert, OF
Tinghai, Checking Province: "Daily
new inmates arrive, little wasted
babies and children from other
islands where there is famine. AL
ready we have two overflow War
Relief Nurseries; these are full, yet
room must be found for these little
newcomers. Many of them are too
far gone to save their lives; they can
only be made warm and comfortable
until God takes them to Heaven
Old men and women also arrive beg
cling for a place in the Hospices for
the Aged. These are full, not an
empty bed, and there is waiting
list of those in the town who want
to come in. Urgent cases have to be
received in the hospitals until there
are empty beds. The hospitals, too,
are full, with bad cases of dysentery
and malaria. All are poor, free cas-
es; no one can pay these days"
The American Baptist Foreign
Mission Society and the Woman's
American Baptist Foreign Mission
Society, both with headquarters at
152 Madison Avenue, New York
City, have issued call for young
Christian people to prepare for and
enter Christian service abroad 'to
help reconstruct a broken world"
The call is especially for nurses,
doctors, teachers, and evangelists.

SENATE VOTES TO KEEP
BEER IN ARMY CAMPS

The U. s. Senate declined to con-
slider a proposal to keep liquors,
wines and beer as far away as pos
sible from Americas fighting men.
It defeated by standing vote of al
most two to one a motion for i'm
mediate consideration of a bill to
prohibit the sale and possession of
intoxicants ON all military and naval
establishments and adjoining areas.
The question, Senator O'Daniel
said, was whether powerful and
ruthless organized liquor traffic
should be allowed to pursue for
profit the business of making alco-
holic addicts of the American boys
who are called to the colors'.
Sale Of hard liquors in and around
military establishments already is
prohibited by War Department or
der, but 80 wines and beer are
exempt.
