Doctors Take Course
On Medical Aspects
OF Chemical Warfare
70 Attend Lectures;
New Series to Be Held
On Jan. IS, u and 70

Seventy physicians have completed
an advance course on the medical
aspects Of chemical warfare, it was
announced last night by DR.. Joseph
H. Roe, assistant chief of the Civilian
Defense Emergency Medical Service.
They will receive certificates from
the Civilian Defense Training Sec
ton.
The second series of lectures under
similar auspices will be held at the
headquarters Of the District Medical
Society, 1718 M street NV, on
January Is, 20 and 20, in periods Of
two hours each, beginning at $50
pm, 1t was announced.
1.-THE 10 physicians who have COM
pleted the course" DR.. Roe said,
ARE unanimous in their opinion as
to the value of such specialized in
struction. but are Of the opinion
that preventive and curative meth
DDS only are too little" DR.. Roe
said, adding:
1T is the opinion of the physicians
that program also should be set
up to educate the public on gas
protection. So little Is generally
known about this type OF warfare
that the public has an exaggerated
idea upon its effect. The public
education would do much to remove
the mystery and fear of chemical
warfare agents which now exist in
the minds of most citizens and
would be a positive contribution to
morale"
DR.. Roe added that such a pro-
gram has been placed before DR..
Paul Douglass, OCD director Of
training, and plans are being for
mulated to carry it out.

ARE THEIR FACES RED?

(Marysville Appeal-Democrat)
Sacramento police officers must have
red faces today, following the discovery
of Raymond Latshaw's automobile in the
Hotel Senator garage, right under their
noses. Latshaw, suspected of whole
sale murder on a Placer county farm,
parked the car there on February IL,
the day of the killings. Meanwhile a
description of the car was broadcast. and
one peace officer declared Latshaw prob
ably was dead. because the automobile
could not vanish from sight, even if he
could.
The police announced they were search
ing the country for Latshaw with a fine
mesh dragnet Yet any investigation
that neg ected to check on public gar
ages in TIE vicinity of the crime was
pretty poor detective work. If the car
had been located promptly when the
alarm vas spreod. Latshaw might have
been apprehenoed in San Francisco,
where the fugitive was having high time
on money that may have been bathed
in blood.

Some time between now and the

soldiers will invade the continent

quite possibly from all three, hun

be ferried across waters in which
the greatest submarine fleet of all
times, now being readied, will lurk.
From the air they will be bombed
by the Luftwaffe-pcrhaps by these
Nazi aircraft which have been so
mysteriously missing of late.
After they land-the majority
that does land-they will seek to
whip mighty German army which
has had years in which to pre-
pare powerful Notifications against

wounded but not fatally, and will
need loving care. Thousands, per-
