Sea-Faring Man With Long Maritime Ancestry To Form Wooden SaiIShip Fleet For Uncle Sam

commercial strain between carib. bean republics which depend co heavily on import and export7"
 The Board of Economic Warfare Maritime Commissin. War Produc. ton Board and military said kay And that Is where Mir. Peabody came into the picture.
 Peabdy's father. who went to the West Coast in 1889. eventually quit a Treasury job to join the handful of men who formed the Alaska Steamship Company. Peabody's great-grandfather, Charles Marshall established the Black Ball Line-the New York to Liverpool packet serv- ice which pioneered in schedule sail ing. And Peabody himself has done everything you can do on the sea .. except drown in 1t.
 Before World War young Pea body shipped on windjammer and moved from ordinary seaman to sec- ond mate in year. Came the war and he served with troop transports to Europe, later joning the Navy from which he emerged as a neuten- ant. He worked as 8 shipbuilder after the war, and then went to the Barber Lines, a round-the-world freight outfit. He rose to master oi his ship, noSed into every corner ot the world, and then took a shore job with brokerage company. Since 1926 he has been with the Puget Sound Navigation O., of which he is president.
 Peabody is 8 burly, shy sailing man with grizzled mustache from which grows 8 perpetual cigar.
 He believes that sailing ships will throw considerable monkey wrench. es into the Germans submarine of- fensive. Tn the first place, sailing vessels aren't so easily detected as steamers. There is no humming en- zine to give their position away.
 And in the second," says Pea body, T can't picture submarines wasting lot of ammunition on every sailboat that comes along"

err cent are nhvsicians

9 per cent are physicians.
 Private and public hospitals re- port that nearly 10000 employees, who are not physicians, are needed now and twice that many will be needed after expansions have taken place. Of this total, 45 per cent are graduate nurses and q per cent are student nurses.
 While many hospitals are exper- fencing difficulty in obtaining in- terms, resident and service physi- clans, other community agencies are losing personnel to the armed forces and government departments
 Under the pressures of war, speeded education is likely to be in- complete and may result in the ap- peaance of many unqualified pacti- tioners in all the professional fields when the emergency ends" said pr. Creighton Barker, executive secre- tary of The Connecticut State Med ical Society. Nevertheless the needs. as far as concerns the pro- lection of the public health and the provision of medical care for persons in mushroom towns and boom town areas, must be met"
