Timed Beef Buying Seen
Aiding U. s., Argentine Ties

American prohibition OF the I'M
portation of fresh meat from Ar
eentina has caused Argentines Sc
riously to question Americas good
neighbor policy, though the recent
.admittance Of timed beef has i'm
proved the situation, Julien Bryan
told members of the National Geo
graphic Society at Constitution Hall
last night.
Argentine newspapers, he said. re-
ceive most of their news from
American press services and publish
more foreign news than papers in
the United States.
American motion pictures in the
last 20 years have proved the
greatest influence in the Argentine
and much merchandise has been
purchased from the United States
because the product was seen In
the movies" Mr.. Bryan said.

know that the citizens Of Washing
ton will not forget that the work
you are doing must continue" she
told the volunteers.

children in the city" Workers, he
added, must take hold OF the Job and
see it to completion.
With police officers unable to So
Icit funds this year because Of in
creased wartime duties, volunteers

gave the invocation. Guests includ-
ed Mrs. Ernest w. Brown, wife OF

Tour of Naval Medical Center
Reveals Rare Health Factory
Lotest Equipment and Comfort Facilities
Available to Enlisted Men as Well as Officers

The National Naval Medical
Center, the services most extensive
establishment devoted to study and
practice of the healing arts, is a
place of many wonders. They were
shown and explained proudly yes
terday in a press tour which lasted
more than four hours, including
lunch, for those who went all the
way.
Two points were emphasized re-
peatedly: that the institution is
more than a hospital" and that en-
listed men are provided facilities
and care equal to those OF officers.
The first was explained at the out
set by Rear Admiral Charles M.
Oman in greeting the party. He
pointed out that he commands the
National Naval Medical Center-or
everything on the 2647-acre tract
bordering the Rockville pike Just
beyond Bethesda, Md.
Separate subordinate commands
have been constituted for the vari-
GUS elements-Naval Hospital, Naval
Medical School and Naval Dental
School. A research department, for
which quarters are about to be built,
also will have its own commanding
officer under Admiral Oman.

The most recent developments in
equipment are incorporated in the
center. Outstanding are a tri-
of the largest X-ray deep therapy
units In the country. The plant now
is engaged in q counterpart of a
warship's shakedown cruise.
Despite the early stage of opera
ton, the laymen were given ample
reason to conclude the hospital had
been outfitted with every known aid
to major and minor repairs of the
human body.
The tour began with the solaria
and lounges Of the 17th and 18th
floors, where striking views OF
the surrounding countryside are
offered patients as they bask in
the sun on open balcony or in bright
rooms.
A sample officers room was Wis
tied next and was found to be
furnished attractively, including
easy chair with ottoman uphol-
stored in a CHEEKY print. 1t was

limitless combinations of elevations
in its various sections, was dupli-
