Peace Panic
Hits On
Wall Street

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 (FP)-
Rumors of an early end of the
war have set off peace panic"
in the Wall Street stock market.
Terrified by the possibility of an
Allied victory which might end fat
war profits, spectators began un-
loading shares of every company
closely or remotely connected with
the war effort.
The rush to sell was so great
that the high-speed ticker could
not keep pace with transactions
and at one time was four minutes
behind. Paper values of shares list
ed on the New York Stock Exchange
dropped about a billion dollars iii
the sharpest price break in years.
Men who clip coupons for a liv-
ing and incidentally own the great
industries of the country fell over
each other in their eagerness to get
rid of securities in wheat, rail-
roads, Bethlehem Steel, Douglas
Aircraft, nickel, oil, DUPONT, Good
rich and Westinghouse, all of which
might enter into a period of lean
years should war profits be halted.

NAN Aeainsi
Labor Draft

NEW YORK, Nov. Is (FP)-To
avoid compulsory drafting of labor,
the National Association of Manu-
facturers has designed a program
for voluntary use Of manpower
which includes the cooperation Of
everybody except labor.
NAM President Frederick Cool
idge Crawford announced the pro-
gram here, declaring that the asso-
citation opposes conscription as un-
American" and aims to do every
thing possible" to hold fast the
Stats in the manpower barrel" The
MANS sudden concern about un-
American treatment of labor stems
from a feeling that conscription OF
labor might also include conscriQ-
ton of industry.
The NAM program actually isn't
so bad. It includes periodic check
ups to avoid labor boarding and
overmanning, expansion of training
and upgrading activities, control of
absenteeism by remedying causes
found in housing, transportation,
recreational, educational, shopping
and child care conditions.

Doctor Shortage
Hits War Output

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is (AP)-
War workers are leaving jobs to
take their ailing children back
home where they can get medical
care, while others cool their heels
four and five hours in doctors of
fices before they can claim the
weary doctors attention.
The pitiful condition of entire
war industry communities virtually
stripped of physicians to fill army
requirements for doctors was de-
scribed in full to the house appro-
priations committee by DR.. Thomas
Parran, head of U, S. Public Health
Service.
The committee turned deaf ears
to Public Health's pleas for ST.
100000 to recruit 800 doctors in
surplus areas to go to war industry
areas as uniformed officers of Pub
lie Health and 800 private physi-
clans who would relocate under a
plan paying them moving costs and

TB Kills
thousands

tuberculosis is far from
being under control in the
United States. Since 1904 the
disease has moved from first
cause of death to seventh,
and the death rate has been cut rs
per cent. In spite of this, tuber-
culosis killed 10000 people in this
country last year and it is still
the greatest disease killer of per-
sons between Is and 45. To these
tragic figures is added the fact
that this country is now threatened
by wartime rise in tuberculosis.
War, with its overwork, strain,
anxiety, and overcrowded living
and working conditions, creates
conditions which foster breakdowns
with tuberculosis and its spread
from the sick to the we'll. The
whole country faces the need of
intensified tuberculosis control pro-
grams.
Weapons Against TB
One of the most important
weapons in the war against tuber-
culosis is the X-ray. A chest X-ray
is a part of the medical examina-
tion of all men before induction
into military service. This step pro-
tects our armed forces from tuber-
culosis, which in World War | cost
our government approximately a
billion dollars in compensation, vo-
cational training, insurance, and
disqualification for disabled vet
erans.
The 1943 Christmas Seal will go
on sale November % as the means
of raising funds to support the
work of the 88 countrywide tuber-
culosis and health associations in
Ohio affiliated with the Ohio Pub
lie Health Association. The Seal
Sale is held in conjunction with the
nationwide sale and will continue
until Christmas.
This year, for the first time, the
Seal of the American tuberculosis
associations is being used by the
national tuberculosis organizations
of England, Canada, Mexico and
Brazil to raise funds for their re-
spective campaigns against the di-
sease. The use of the identical
Christmas Seal by five of the
United Nations is particularly sig
nificant in the face of the wartime
rise in tuberculosis that is accur-
ring in many parts of the world.

Seventy-six per cent of those
surveyed thought that such union

cent insisted that a military police
