Unity Of Command
To Protect Coasts
Urged by Vinson
House Naval Chuirmun
Points to Lesson
Of PeurI Hurbor
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Unity Of military command in the
continental United States was urged
today by Chairman Vinson Of the
House Naval Affairs Committee to
coordinate the country's defenses
against the possibility of a sudden
enemy stab on either coast.
Representative Vinson said he
had placed his suggestion before
Navy Secretary Knox and other
high-ranking Navy officials.
IF we are to take advantage OF
the lesson taught at Pearl Harbor, -
the Georgian told reporters, I'VE
must provide for use of the Army
Navy, Coast Guard and the air
arm as a team with a single COM
mand. And we must have fixeo
responsibility"
Particularly was this true, he
said, in the great industrial areas
along the coasts.
Although the Army Is charged
with the defense of these coastal
factories" he said. 'the Navy patrols
the sea on one side, and their pro-
lection is a joint responsibility. The
need for obtaining coordination is
obvious"
Under his plan the country would
be divided into military areas, with
a single Army, Navy or air officer
assuming full responsibility for the
protection Of each.
Before Mr.. Vinson advanced his
suggestion, the House Naval At
fairs Committee yesterday had voted
not to institute a separate congress
sional inquiry at this time into the
Japanese surprise attack on the
island stronghold, and Secretary OF
War Stimson had announced a
speeded = up process for unifying
command at important outposts and
for task forces.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
said yesterday better prices and re-
moval Of production restrictions
should encourage domestic producers
to grow more sugar cane and sugar
beets this year to help Offset prospec-
tive losses in imports Of sugar.
The Secretary said production in
Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Hawaii and other Of shore
areas which normally help supply
this country, was expected to be
larger. However, supplies from these
areas available for civilian use in
this country may be reduced, he said,
because of needs Of Great Britain,
Russia and other Allied nations and
because Of the utilization of large
quantities of sugar cane in making
industrial alcohol for war needs.
Because Of the prospective reduc-
ton in supplies, the Government has
announced plans for consumer
rationing Of sugar.

then great strides have been made

widely accepted by civilian hospitals.
A register of o. T's was set up in
1890 and by 1886 the American Med

standards of training for o. T.

The procedure is comparatively
simple, requiring only that a person
be in good health and able to give
about As minutes of time. One i'm
portant stipulation is that donors
refrain from fatty foods, including
butter, cream, mayonnaise or ba-
nanas, six hours before donating.
The blood donor unit OF the club
hopes to secure at least $50 names
of persons willing to volunteer for
this service.

Projects Help Restore
Normal Function.
For adults the principles are the
same. although the project may
differ. The important thing is that
each project involve the tool whose
use will restore normal function.
Miss Hitchcock has a definition
indicating the scope Of this form oi
healing. "Occupational therapy,
she says, sis any activity-vocational
diversional. recreational, cultural
educational or manual-prescribec
by the physician and under super
vision of an occupational therapist
which will assist in the restoration
of either physical or mental func-
tions."
Occupational therapy is youns
but growing profession. There have
been scattered instances of its ust
for trea tment of the mentally dis
turbed since It'll, but it came intt
Its own as treatment for physica
as we'll as mental disabilities during
the World War.
1t was widely used in Canada fol
the Canadian wounded and in Eng
land for the re-education of the wal
blind. France also established work
shops, but they were largely for vo
cational rehabilitation.
Its use by the United States Arm,
started from tryout at Walter Reet
Hospital in January, 1918, when th'
first group of reconstruction aides
-four o. T's and one physica
therapist-was established.
Others joined the original groul
and in March, 1918, Congress for
mally approved them as civilian
aides attached to the Army Medica
Corps. Soon group, which included

therapy looks pretty much as if it
were just game. But volunteer
aides must be carefully chosen
embodying such qualities as SYM
pathy, patience, imagination. in
genuity, controlled and disciplined
emotions and a high sense of
responsibility.
Volunteers Prove
Valuable as Assistants.
That they may be of invaluable
assistance to the professional ther-
apist is attested by Miss Hitch
cock, who has corps of volunteer
aides at the Children.s Hospital,
where she has headed the o. T.
clinic for the past 10 years. Many
OF her aides come from the ranks
of the Junior League, Red Cross
and similar organizations. The Jun
ior League, incidentally, in cooper
alton with the Board of Lady Wis
itors, was responsible for establish
Ing the occupational therapy de-
