The Nazi-controlled Paris radio
and the official German news
agency, DNB. have begun beat
ing the drums of warning against
an American invasion of Dakar,
on the west coast of Africa.
There has been much loose

our intention to occupy that re-

French, but also the Cape Verde
and Azores Islands, both of which
are Portuguese. we're mentioned

if the principal ports, cities ana

interfere,
While Vichy succumoed to
German blackmail and allowed
the Nazis to occupy strategic
positions in TuniSia, it has re-
manned adamant in regard to
Algeria and Morocco. The most
important concession made by
Vichv to Berlin was to order

As far as is known here the
French naval bases at Oran,
Cesablanca and Dakar are still
in Vichys hands. So, presum-
ably, are the important and mod
ern air bases at Casablanca,
Rabat, Meknez and Colom- -Bech-
ar. Nazi submarines have been
using the Atlantic ports as re-
fueling stations, but Vichy au-
thorities are still in control. The
same thing applies to the air
dromes, which are the best in
Africa.
Excuses for Laval.
It is considered likely that the
Nazis' scare -broadcastS are in
tended to give the Vichy govern
ment an excuse for letting the
Nazis send important air forces
to Morocco to help the French
people defend their possessions
against British and American
greed" Such high-sounding
phrases may help Chlef OF Gov

people why Nazi air squadrons
will be permitted to use the ex-
cellent airdromes in Africa.

to New York's old Seventh Ward
from the colorful eighties and nine
ties to the First World War
Down near Corlears Hook. in a
neighborlood packed with fiercely
independent Irish and German emf
grants, young Doctor Vandegrift
hung out his single. His capital
consisted Of two dollars in cash, a
little anatomy, less physiology, one
drug, ipecac, and an invincible belief
in the efficacy Of castor oil and qui-
nine He had an almost intuitive
diagnostic ability and a hynotic in
fluence over his patients, and he was
soon seeing from fifty to sixty pat
tents daily in his office and respond
ing to from thirty to fifty calls out
side
Full of energy and a devouring
curiosity, he had an extraordinary
gift for making friends, and impress
ed his will on men and women alike.
He bossed not only his own family,
but the whole Seventh Ward: hob
nobbed with everyone, from burglars
and longshoremen to O. Henry and
Oliver HEREFORD; sported his opal
studs and pale yellow linen busters;
and thoroughly enjoyed every mo-
ment Of tremendously busy life.
His biography is delightful read
ing not merely for its picture of the
Corner Doctors impressive foibles,
but because his personal story is so
much part of the social history Of
American medicine and public health.
1t has much to offer, too, in its vivid
pictures of a colorful New York;
comment on the green horse cars
which wound from Grand Street ferry
to Union Square; the highwheeled
bicycle on which the author first
learned to ride; the fashionable dogs
of the Newfoundland and
pug-the great day when Lord and
Taylor moved way uptown-from
Grand Street to Nineteenth and
Broadway; comment on the pictures
que Bowery at its height.
Warm with humanity, humor and
vitality, DR.. Vandegrift's biography
of his father adds another strong, APP
pealing picture to the growing gal
lery of American Fathers who have
come back in recent years to amuse
US, to entertain US, and to remind us
of our rich heritage.
