Then there are the men who quit
school long before the war because
they had to 60 to work. A man who

WPB Aide Opposes
FederaI|y Managed
disqualification Plan
F., the Associated Press.


BUFFALO. N. Y. Sept. l4.-Ev-
erett w. Jones, head hospital con-
sultant of the War Production
Board, said today he Is opposed to
compulsory hospital insurance under
Government management and de-
clared Federal agencies cannot
hope to approach private initiative
and enterprise in efficient manage
ment.
After working Is months in
Washington, have no delusions
left as to the efficiency of govern
mental agencies" he added in an
address before the American Hos
pital Associations wartime confer
ence. Delay and red tape just can't
be eliminated in any political organ
ization as gigantic as our Federal
Government. The record speaks for
ITSELF"
Mr.. Jones. director on leave of
Albany IN. " Hospital, declared
voluntary hospitals cannot continue
to assume the "straggering finan-
cial burden loaded onto them in
the past in the disqualification of
in-patients or for out-patient clinic
services for the medical INDECENT of
this country"
Governmental agencies must give
more help to carry the load" he
said. Bankruptcy for many of our
voluntary hospitals is Threatened
unless our financial load is light
ened by adequate and fair payments
for the services we sell to govern
mental agencies"
Mr.. Jones said he expressed his
"own personal opinion" and that
his statements in no way reflect
the views of the Government agency
with which he is connected.
He asserted that If the Federal
Government really wants to i'm
prove" the hospital situation, it
should pursue the following pro-
gram:
l. Provide Federal subsidies to
State governments when and if the
States enact proper social welfare
laws.
2. Foster cooperation between
Federal, State and local government
agencies, voluntary hospitals ana
the medical profession In working
out complete health and hospital
plan for each State, city and county
3. Federal grants to provide ad-
ditions to existing voluntary and
government hospitals and for new
hospitals where such new or added
facilities can be proven essential.

took the view that, once the mill
tary services reach their maximum
strength, the need for requirements
should be amply met out of the
youths who reach draft age
annually. He reasoned, therefore,
that there should be no reason for
taking fathers. beyond the 100000
expected to be called to complete
the 1943 quotas. If some way could
be found "to get over that hump"
he said. it would seem fathers would
not be needed. He renewed his sug-
gestion that men over 80, particularly
fathers, be deferred. e.
Senator Gurney. Republican, of
South Dakota. a member of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee, supported
the demand that military leaders be
called in before the question Is de-
bated in the Senate.
Martin Has Similar Views.
Similar views were expressed by
House Minority Leader Martin, who
declared "the public is entitled to
know what shape we are in," and
by Representative Kilday, Demo-
crat, of Texas, sponsor of House.
passed legislation to retain depend
ency deferment status for fathers
and to put draft quotas on State
wide basis. Mr.. Kilday's bill has
been sidetracked in the Senate, but
it is in position for early action.
Il don't think the public would
object to the induction of fathers
If the need for them was proved"
said Mr.. Martin.
Mr.. Kilday asserted the man.
power review ought to take up the
question of the Army's size to de-
termine whether its. demands for
men ARE reasonable and neces-
sary." Mr.. Kilday, however, ex-
pressed reluctance to put con-
gressional ceiling on the strength of
the armed forces because it might
affect the Army's strategy.

In the background of the draft
controversy is the problem OF having

By MIRIAM OTTENBERG

Along with his Workmanship
medals and his battle stories, a
young soldier may also have the
equivalent of high school diploma
to present to his family when he
comes home from the war.
That's the armed forces educa-
tion program at work-giving the
soldiers and sailors a chance to
study everything from elementary
grammar to higher mathematics
while they are fighting for their
country.
The education program is de-
signed to increase the mems eff
cheney as fighting men and many
of the students" are working for
higher ratings or chance to 60
to officer candidate school, Many
times, they may need to brush up
on their mathematics in line with
their Army or Navy jobs.
But the officials know that the
men are looking into the future.
They're taking the courses that
help them in the service, but they're
also choosing courses that will pave
the way toward civilian jobs.
Fifty per cent of the men in the
Army are enrolled in special train
ing courses. Out of that group will
come men trained as specialists in
fields which have a parallel in
civilian life. Then there is the
Army specialized training program
to develop doctors and engineers.
These are both duty time" COM
pulsory programs.
Supplementing them are the vol
untary, off-duty courses chosen by
the men. About $4,000 men are now
enrolled in the correspondence
courses of the Armed Forces Insti-
tute and enrollments are increas-
ing at the rate of $500 a week.
The men can take any of the 81
courses offered by the Institute or
take high school or college course
from one of the 80 colleges with
whom the armed forces have con-
tracted for extension courses.
If youth wants to finish high
school, he simply writes to the
principal of his home town school to

The men asked that the certifi-
Gates they get on completing a
course be made smaller so they will
fit into barraok bags.
Since correspondence courses can't
reach all the men scattered through
out the world, self-teaching courses
have been developed. BY November
it is expected that all school SUBJ
jets from the 5th to the 18th grade
and some college subjects will be
covered
Languages Also Taught.
The arithmetic course gives an
example of how the self teaching
method works. The serviceman gets
an elementary arithmetic, which be-
gins with a test. If he gets a Ger
tain number right he can send that
book back and get a more advanced
one. There are tests all the way
through the book. If he's just brush
ing up he can skip the parts of the
book that the tests reveal he has
already mastered.
When he gets through a course
Az 'ono AOl lltldl CAdIIllIldClOl1,
which he takes with his command
ing officer as teacher His exam
ination is graded, he gets his GER
tiflcate and goes on to the next
course.
Some of the troops who went into
Sicily could speak Italian before the
nvasion-thanks to the foreign lam
guage self-teaching courses which
come on records. Education officers
claim they can teach a soldier
enough in 8 or 10 hours by this
method for him to get along when
he gets off the boat.
The third type of education for

classes in the camps, which are

Betty Ann Smiths S Marriage

One of the prettiest traditions OF
Delta Kappa Psi Sorority of the
University of Redlands, is the an
nual spring ceremony whereby
brides and those about to be
brides announce their marriages or
engagements by stepping through a
huge ring made of daisies.
This years ceremony took place
recently, being held in the beauti-
ful grotto where the daisy ring was
placed in the center of exquisite
pansie beds, their soft colors max
ing a lovely picture.
To Imperial Valley this particular
ceremony had real interest since
one of the brides who stepped
through the ring to announce her
marriage was Betty Ann Smith,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dwight
L. Smith, prominent valley resi-
dents. living in the McCabe district.
Betty Ann was married on Feb.
