Physical Fitness Unit
Begins Operations
Today Minus Funds
Original Allotment
Spent, Division Looks
To Budget Bureau

The Physical Fitness Division of
the Federal Security Agency, which
has a staff of athletes and executives
in Philadelphia with salaries rang
ing up to IS 500, began operating to-
day without funds, 1t was learned.
1t won't get a cent until a tangle
with the Budget Bureau has been
Strengthened out, according to the
Office of information in the F. S. A.
John B. Kelly. former Olympic
oarsman who leads physical fitness,
has sought a 100000 allotment
and has threatened to quit unless
he gets at least $500 900, according
to Chairman Byrd of the Senate's S
Committee on Non-essential Expen-
ditures.
Ever since James M. Lands be-
came director of civilian defense,
the Budget Bureau has been try
ing to decide how much cash the
Government should spend for what
athletic feats. At his first press
conference as director, when the
question of dancing Mayris Cheney
was brought up, Mr.. Lands said
a decision by the Budget Bureau
was expected soon" Today the
F. S. A. said budget decision will
be out soon"
On March IA Mr.. Lands an
nounced that physical fitness had
been transferred. by presidential or
der, from o. c. D. to Federal Secur-
ity Administrator McNutt. Since
then inquiries about the divisions
future nave been countered with a
statement that the budget is being
studied" The study is reportedly
taking place in r. S. A. as well as
the Budget Bureau.
Until today physical fitness was
operating under an old allotment
from the Office Of Emergency Man
I:agement, it was said. Today it ex-
pired, and George Holstrom, s4,60C
Washington representative of Oars

War Influx Provides 'Godts'

They've cloaked that old gag in a

Rutland Urges
Cancer Clinic
Examinations
Diugnostic Facilities
Stressed in April
To Check Mortality

Health Officer George c. Rutland
today stressed the value of periodic
medical examinations as a means of
cancer prevention as he announced
a schedule of diagnostic clinics in
Washington hospitals this month In
observance Of a national program
proclaimed by President Roosevelt.
Cancer not only is the second
highest cause of death in the Dis
trict, but It's mortality rate since
1900 has increased somewhat fatser
than the national mortality rate.
DR.. Rutland said this may be due, in
part, to the "notoriously high per-
centage of persons in the higher age
brackets"
The cancer mortality rate for the
District in 1900 was 78.1 deaths per
100000 Of population, whereas the
rate for the United States was 63.
For 1910 the figures were 1919 for
The District and 1918 for the country
at large. Cancer takes about 1000
lives in the District each year.
Heart Disease Leads.
The five major causes of death In
the District in 1910 were: Heart
disease, with 3484 deaths per 100 900
population; cancer, 1913; kidney
disease, Ill; cerebral hemorrhage.
93.7, and tuberculosis, 89.l.
To emphasize the Importance of
physical examinations after a per-
son reaches the age OF 10, DR.. Ruh-
land reported that cancer deaths in
the District for persons under as
occurred at the rate of 6 per 100 900
population, whereas the rate for the
age group 25-44 was so, for the group
1854 was 300, and for persons IS
or older, 872.
Inc dlagnostic cancer clinics. Or.
Ruhland said. aim to give District
residents an opportunity for early
diagnosis so that many lives NAV
be saved through use Of radium
x-ray and surgery. Cancer educa-
ton will be stressed through the
month by speakers, motion pictures

meetings. and the Health Depart
ment will make use of a sound

uary.

Drum, commander of the lst Army,
according to the indictment, but
the general said he had met him
only once or twice. Kimberland
also was said to have claimed he

jutant general at one time, but
authorities declared that he had
never been a member.

Auto Tag Sale
Drops 2,4t6
Under 1941
Lust-Minute Crush
!, Heaviest in City's
History, However

For the first time since the auto
mobile has been regarded as a con-
traption here to stay, reduction
has occurred In the total number
of District license plates sold before
the deadline date.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer reported today that at the
close Of business yesterday the total
number Of sets Of tags sold so far
was 137,512, compared with 139,-
s28 In 1941-a reduction of 2,416.
The drop is believed due to re-
strictions on purchases of tires and
automobiles, since the city's popu-
lation has increased by leaps and
bounds in the last II months.
Closing Crush Sets Record.
The closing day yesterday, how
ever, was the heaviest in the de-
partment's history, 7,542 sets of tags
being sold. compared with the pre-
vious record established in 1941 Of
$3.50.
About IS to 100 persons were in
hne when the Office opened for busi-
ness today. Motorists driving with
out 1912 tags were subject to arrest
today.
During all OF last year, slightly
more than 10000 tags were sold
here.
The last IN the line seeking tags
was Mrs. K. L. Rowsey, 5l2 Twelfth
street NE. who said her husband, q
cab driver, has been sick for some
time. She stepped into the breach
at the last minute, literally and
hguratively, as a pinchhitter for her
husband.
Line Clears Door.
Six cashiers worked at top speed
Ia delivering the auto plates. The
block-long line that had formed
outside the building for three days
cleared the tag door at $3.50, a cir
cumstance highly pleasing to Mr..
Van Duzer. I'VE were hoping no one
would be turned away, and that's
what happened" he said.
Licenses were obtained at rate
Of almost 1000 per hour in the clos
ing days rush.

motion picture writer producer now
on Navy duty here, until she read
about it yesterday morning in Chi
cago.
That's the story the pretty Miss
Lands told an obviously skeptical
group of reporters who met her
plane at Washington National Air
port late yesterday afternoon. It's
the story she told and retold.
This Is all very sudden" the
movie star insisted, 80 sudden even
I don't know about it."
Sticks to Her Story.
Repeated pleas of "Aw, come on
now, let's get this straight" were
met always with the same answer.
There was nothing, Miss Lands
maintained, to get straight. She
woke up in Chicago, read the morn
ing papers and learned her mar
riage to Comdr. Markey was imni-
nent 1t seemed strange, she said
prettily, to discover in the morning
papers In Chicago what the future
held for her.
What was she doing in Washing
ton then? Why, visiting, of course.
Visiting whom? Well, friends.
Some one" was going to meet her,
she said, as she wandered the airport
waiting room, trailed by insistent
reporters and ogling fans. Some
one" she insisted, as she posed will
ingly for innumerable photographs,
was going to meet her.
"Some One" Finally Meets Her.
Some one" finally did meet her
1t was not Comdr. Markey-who is
or is not in town, according to the
rumor you feel is hottest-but it was
a naval ensign. Lips sealed, he
whisked in, whisked Miss Lands out
and took her away from there in an
expensive car with California
license. 1t was just such a car as
might be owned by a motion picture
writer producer.
And Miss Lands still was insisting
she didn't know anything about the
story. She hadn't talked to any one
as she left Hollywood the night be-
fore. So how could she have an
nounced she was going to marry
Comdr. Markey?
Well, somebody announced it, for

the West Coast.
Another Romance Rumored.
Somebody" also announced that
Madeleine Carroll and Stirling Hay

spend a honeymoon. When the sub
ject was broached at Union Station

she'd seen Mr.. Hayden, but mot re-

I'm getting a bit cynical" she
said. you know there's new pic

now just shrugs off items linking her
name in romantic duos.
Last week it was Clifford Odets
and this week it is Stirling Hayden"
she said "I thought of sending that
columnist a wire asking, 'Odets,
where is thy ring?' but then de-
cided just to let it pass. haven't
seen Odets in three years and then
I just met him and shook hands"
Miss Carroll is, 1t must be ad-
mitted, competently glib in switch
ing the conversation from mention
of Mr.. Hayden to denials that she
feels about Mr.. Odets the way it
has been rumored she feels. But she
maintains she was here merely for
a visit with a naval officer and his
wife, whom she met in Madrid.
