Officer George C. Rutland that the
general health of the District last
year showed an improvement over
194l, but found fault with the health
departments inspection service
which it said should be reorganized
In this connection, the committee
report said:
1T was brought to the attention
OF the committee that there was a
need for reorganization of. the in
spectlon service. 1t is felt by the
Commissioners that this function
OF the health department is not
working as efficiently as it might,
and, as result, it was suggested
that a supervisor of inspectors was
needed to control the overall work
OF the inspectors and to attempt to
merge the functions and capacities
of individual inspectors SO that the
personnel would be more versatile.
1t is good proposal and the COM
mittee will look with favor upon it
when a formal request is made
COnvalescent Pay Explained.
The committee explained that in
Recommending an appropriation of
$4,000 to pay convalescents at eileen
Dale who help out in the war effort
by working at the institution, it did
so for this reason:
Being impressed with the posi-
bility of making some use of the
patients at this sanatorium who are
talented in certain directions and
at the same time aiding them
through the physical therapy which
would accompany their activities,
the committee has inserted language
which, would authorize the use of
these convalescent patients as tenn
porary employees. Here is an appli-
cation of the desire of the committee
to conserve manpower by putting to
valuable use these patients who are
or will be in need of reha abilitation"
The committee, recommending re-
movar of the present ceilings on
public assistance grants, had this to
say to the House:
The committee approached the
proposal to lift the ceilings on direct
relief payments with utmost care
and consideration. It made survey
of how the problem was handled in
other cities and localities compar-
able with the District.
Traffic Request Cut.
The committee found that in
almost every instance there were
ceilings. but they were the RESPONSE
bility of those directing the public
welfare programs. The committee
has agreed to the deletion of the
language providing for such ceilings,
but it has done so with the reserva-
ton that the administration of
public assistance money will be
studied and investigated fully when
the estimates for l945 are con-
sidered.
The committee charges the Com
missioners to share in the RESPONSE
bility of imposing administrative
ceilings on direct relief and watcn
carefully for successful and eco
nomical distribution of these funds"
The committee made a dent O.
1921 in the funds sought by Traf-
flc Director William A. Van Duzer
to purchase new traffic equipment"
in the coming fiscal year. 1t sug-
gested that Mr.. Van Duzer might
save that much money by cutting off
the operation of traffic lights in
non-rush periods and turning off
some of the others that flash all
night.

should, he feels that ignorance Is
the great tragedy Of nations, and
that If one nations ignorance OF

borliness might be achieved.
That this is no mere cliche in the
vernacular of diplomacy when DR.
Duhart uses 1t is evident in his
knowledge Of the practical difficul-
ties in international film making
That Is to say, he does not believe
that liberty, equality and fraternity
are going to mean the same thing
to a Maine fisherman and a Peru
Wan rancher because their countries
begin exchanging movies.
There are so many differences
between peoples and the movies
will have to show these" DR.
Duhart says. you may find of
ours, for instances, that they are
slow. The action is not at that
tempo Of your pictures. But that
is as 1t should be. Our way of living
is slower. If we made our movies
your way. our people would laugh
at them. II we make them our way
which we must, maybe you will
learn not to be impatient with us.
That is what we are like"
DR.. Duhart did not say so, leav-
ing the obvious to speak for itself
but that is one Of the reasons Holly
wood pictures have not been an un-
qualified success In the other Amer
icas. 1t is process Of understand
ing, which will take time in all cor
ners Of the hemisphere.
He is the first to admit that the
Mexican movie industry, which is
developing rapidly, is in It's forma-
tive stages.
1--WE do not have your techniques,"
he says. I'VE need to learn all the
things you have learned. We need
to learn them, of course, in our way,
how to apply them to Mexican pic
lures"
The Mexican market for motion
pictures, DR.. Duhart says, is a thing
of inconceivable proportions. In
Mexico City alone, there are 800 mo-
ton picture theaters, proportion
ately four times as many as in
Washington and its immediate sub
urbs
ut is the peoples entertainment, ;"
he says, Ito degree that is hard
for you to understand. I can make
it clear, perhaps, If I say that Mex
lean people will pay twice as much
to see motion picture as to see a
dramatic production. Theater pro-
ductions are advertised for one peso,
as against two-peso admission fee
to movies"

Of the North what we have been

that Hollywood is not the only spot
in the hemisphere which makes
movies.
1t is not in the, sense OF a COM
petitor that DR.. Duhart, an intel
ligent, tactful. and agreeable per-
son, speaks of Mexican movies. He
gives no impression Of being
merely diplomatic in adopting the
noncompetitive attitude. On the
contrary, he approaches his subject
as if he did not place too much
faith in these tales of the movies
being commercial.
He thinks of them, he makes
clear, as fine agency for creating
