Board Asked for Test
OF Medical Research

DR.. Lewis H. Weed, chairman of
the division of medical sciences of
the National Research Council, to-
day proposed to Senate subcom-
mittee that the Government set up
a board of 16 persons, representing
both medicine and the lay public, to
survey the whole field of medical re-
search and its importance to the
health services of the Nation.
4 Testifying before the Senate Sub
committee on Wartime Health and
Education, DR.. Weed stressed the
need IN the postwar period of Fed
eral support to stimulate medical re-
search. But he recommended a sur
vey before the Government takes
any definite steps.
He said the proposed board should
be made an Independent agency and
be given broad advisory functions
1t should be the body to which Con-
gress and the executive branch
would look for advice and recon-
mendations regarding medical re-
search, medical education, hospitali-
zation, medical practice, nursing,
dentistry and public health" he
said.
DR.. Weed said the board should
include the surgeons general of the
Army, Navy and Public Health
Service.
The suggested six lay members
from outside the medical and allied
professions might include one each
rom industry labor, farming, edu-
tatlon, volunteer health agency, and
me woman representing the special
interests of women and children, he
kaid.

The Nazis apparently have lost
their last battle to hold weather
observation posts on the strategic
coast of Greenland.
The end came in a two-month
battle, described at the Navy De-
partment today, between a small
Coast Guard task force and German
shore stations and armed trawlers
few hundred miles from the North
Pole.
Crews of the cutters, which
smashed through ice-packed waters
TO the scene of the Arctic battle,
believed to have been the farthest
north of any in this hemisphere,
captured so Nazis, sank an armed
trawler, captured a second, forced
abandonment of third and de-
stroyed a mined German radio
station.
Reports of Commodore Earl G..
Rose Of Muncey, Pa, commander of
the Greenland Patrol, revealed that
three of the four cutters participat-
ing were damaged by ice foes and
one cutter was disabled and had to
be towed 5000 miles back to its base.
The continuing battle against
German weather and shipping OBJ
servation expeditions, which began
before Pearl Harbor, came to ascli-
max last October 16 when the cut
ters Southwind and Eastwind, both
on their maiden voyages, closed in
on 180-foot armed Maxi trawler,
also on its first voyage The vessel

Burroughs Group Favors
Subway, Hospital Center

Endorsement of the proposed
subway system for Washington and
the proposal for a modern hospital
center were incorporated in resolu-
tions adopted last night at meet
ing of the Burroughs Citizens As
sociation at the Taft Junior High
School.
The subway Endorsement specified
that the construction costs be dis
tributed equitably, the major por-
ton to be assumed by the Federal
Government and that no monetary
benefit accrue to the Capital
Transit Co. through the construc-
tion or operation of the system.
Declaring that Al States had a
lower infant death rate than the
District of Columbia during 1912,
the resolution urged early construc-
tion of adequate and modern hos
pital facilities.
The next Burroughs Citizens As
sociation meeting was scheduled for
January Is at Taft Junior High
School with q movie as the feature
attraction.

Memorial Stadium Bill
Sent 10 President;

Legislative action on the WASH
ington memorial stadium bill was
completed late yesterday when the
Senate accepted two minor amend
ments proposed by the House, and
the bill now goes to President
Roosevelt for signature.
It provides for the creation of a
nlne-man commission to consider
plans, sites and means of financing
the postwar project on a self -liqui-
dating basis. The bill authorizes
S25 200 to cover the costs of the
commission studies.
The Speaker is directed to name
three members of the House as
commission members, and the presi-
dent of the Senate, Vice President
Wallace, will name three from the
Senate. The other three members
are to be appointed by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The Commissioners already have
held several discussions about ap-
pointments, they said at the District
Building today. Commissioner Young
indicated, however, that it might be
some time before the appointees
would be announced.
Sponsors of the bill have assumed
the President will sign the meas
ure into law.
Soon after the Senate. without
debate or objections, had put its
final stamp of approval on the bill,
discussion started in some quarters
as to who might be named to the
commission. House members who
were mentioned included Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee, who piloted the bill
through the House; Representative
Harris, Democrat, of Arkansas, head
of the Recreation Subcommittee
Representative Hebert, Democrat,
of Louisiana, head of the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee, and Repre-
sentative Dirksen, Republican, of
Illinois.

and its crew of 20 men were seized.
The cutters opened fire with s.
inch deck guns, and the Nazi
trawler ran into blind alley in the
ice pack and was trapped.
Two weeks earlier the Eastwind
landed two platoons on Little Kol-
dewey Island in predawn attack
on a Nazi weather and radio sta
ton. They captured three Nazi Of
ficers and nine enlisted men, along
with their armament and scientific
equipment.
The Germans, who have long
sought to chart the course of Green
lands storms, which have a direct
bearing on European weather sew
eral days later, apparently had tried
to set up three stations on the
northeast coast last summer.
One of these parties was captured
by the crew of the cutter North
land on September l after a To-
mile race between the ice foes. The
8 German officers and 20 enlisted
men scuttled their ship and came
aboard the Northland.
The last operation against the
Nazis began in July when the cap
tain of the Greenland sledge patrol
reported the presence of German
radio and weather station near
Shannon Island.
An Army combat group and Coast
Guard patrols finally reached the
German outpost and found it de-
serted and Uttered with the wreck
age of equipment.

D. c. Bar Urges
; for Post on
District Court
Curron, Two Lawyers
Termed Acceptable
To Succeed Eicher

District Attorney Edward M. Cur
ran and two lawyers. Edward
Burroughs, jr., and William j.
Hughes, jr.-were recommended to
Attorney General Biddle today by a
District Bar Association committee
for appointment to the District
Court bench to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Chief JUS
tice Edward G. Eicher.
The committee said that any one
OF the three would be acceptable to
the Bar Association and suggested
appointment as associate justice.
For chief justice the group urged
either Justice James M. Proctor or
Justice Bolitha J. Laws.
The committee also asked the At
torney General to urge the President
to fill the vacancy on the Court of
Appeals bench existing since May,
l943, when Justice Fred N. Vinson
was appointed director of economic
stabilization. For this vacancy the
Bar Association suggested Justice
Laws, Solicitor General Charles
Fahy, South Trimble, jr., Commerce
Department solicitor, or E. Barrett
Prettyman, former corporation coun-
sci.
MargoId Considered.
Mr.. Biddle, it was learned, gave
no indication of what recommenda-
tions he would make to the Presi-
dent, but thanked the committee
for its suggestions and promised to
give them consideration.
1t previously had been reported
that Judge Nathan r. Margold of
the Municipal Court was slated for
District Court justiceship and that
either Justice Proctor or Justice
Laws would be named chief justice.
The committee in urging local
man for the District Court vacancy
also pointed out that no Washing
ton judge had served on the Court
OF Appeals since the death of JUS
tice William Hits in July, 1885.
The advantage of naming some one
to the appellate bench familiar with
local practice and procedure, with
which this court is largely con-
cerned, was emphasized
One in War Department.
In recommending District Attor-
ney Curran, the bar association
renewed a recommendation pre-
viously made when the death of
Justice Oscar R. Luhring left a Dis
trict Court vacancy. Henry A..
Schweinhaut of the Justice Depart
ment was appointed to his place.
Mr.. Burroughs, member of the
law firm of Cummings e. Stanley,
Of which the senior member is
Homer Cummings, a former Attor-
ney General, formerly was an as
sistant United States attorney. Col.
Hughes, at present on the Judge
advocate generals staff at the War
Department. is law partner of
William E. Leahy, District selective
service director. Col. Hughes also
is on the law faculty at Georgetown
University.
The bar association committee
consisted of Paul B. Cromelin, a past
president, acting chairman of the
Committee on Judicial Selection;
John j. Carmody, new president,
and Seton Darr, past president.

0utlays Of Red Cross
Since Pearl Harbor
Near Half Billion


American Red Gross expenditures
since Pearl Harbor will be well
above half billion dollars by the
start of the next campaign for con-
tributions in March, according to
Basil O'Connor, chairman of the
organization.
Mr. O'Connor, former law partner
of President Roosevelt and successor
to the late Norman H. Davis as
Red Cross chairman, returned re-
Gently from an inspection of Red
Cross work behind the French and
Italian fronts. His reappointment
by President Roosevelt as chairman
for the coming year was announced
yesterday at the annual meeting Of
the organization before he made his
report. The meeting was held at
national headquarters, Seventeenth
and D streets NV.
Three vacancies on the Board of
Incorporators, caused by a resigna-
ton and the deaths of Mr.. Davis
and Alfred E. Smith, were filled by
the election of Mr.. O'Connor, Aaron
M. Frank. Portland (Oreg) depart
ment store proprietor. and Mrs
Stuart Chevalier, Pasadena tCalif)
writer.
Mrs. Colt Is Elected.
Mrs S. Sloan Colt, wife of the
president of the Bankers Trust Co.,
of New York, was elected a mem
ber of the Central Committee. Mrs.
Dwight F. Davis, wife of the for
mer Secretary of War, was re-
elected to the committee.
Mr.. O'Connor gave some oper-
ating statistics in his report. Red
Cross clubs, ranging from grass
huts on Leyte to the Rainbow Club
in London, are serving 10000 GIs
a month and Red Cross hospital
service has helped 100000 cases in
the last year, he said.
1--WE hear a lot about letter writ
ing in hospitals, but helping boy
write a letter that has to explain
to his family that he is blind or
manned is something more than
mere letter writing Mr.. OCon-
nor said. How would you phrase
such a letter."
Went Ashore at Leyte.
Fourteen million communications
have been handled in the past year,
and 4,500,0 900 servicemen and their
families have been assisted. Forty
Red Cross men went ashore with
troops at Leyte. The Red Cross has
just finished packing the 20, ,000, 900
packages for American prisoners of
war. Forty million people have
been aided in devastated areas.
There were 259 disasters in the
United States to which the Red
Cross extended relief, the greatest
number for any single year.
Eleven million pints Of blood have
been tapped from donors since Pearl
Harbor. Expenditures up to the
beginning Of the next campaign in
March will be 1894, 600 900. Govern
ment-flnanced supplies handled by
the Red Cross total $l79, ,000, 900.
Il have no idea what the figure
would be II we tried to include q
dollars and -cents estimate Of the
services Of our 5000. 900 volunteers" !"
Mr.. O'Connor said.

Photographers
Defend Their
Street Trade
Requirement of D. c.
Residence Urged
On Commissioners

Ten sidewalk photographers ap-
peared before the District Commits
sioners today to defend their busi-
ness as a morale building WASH
ington institution" and to suggest
requirements of District residence
and financial backing as a means to
eliminate "fly-by-n might" operators.
The Commissioners are currently
considering legislation banning
them from the streets.
Commissioner Guy Mason told
photographers attending the hear
ing at the District Building that
ne feared possible accident to pedes-
trians by photographers jumping
TO lake the pictures; objected to the
litter of order cards on the streets,
and said the pictures might be
stolen from the files for use in a law
suit.
Represented by Attorney.
The Commissioners had originally
asked Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech to prepare a draft of
the proposed ban as result of COM
plants to the Better Business Blu
reau, district attorney, Post Office
department and superintendent of
licenses for the District.
The photographers, who have Or
ganized themselves into Associated
photographers, Inc, were repre-
sented by A. p Commit, an attorney.
Jointly with Lyman Page, pho
tographer, he suggested that in
stead OF a sweeping ban on the
commercial street snapshots, the
commissioners insist on residence in
the District as qualification for
license to operate. They also sug-
gested the price of the license be
raised from the present 81, and that
bond of perhaps from 5000 to
$500 be posted with the District
government as proof of ability to
meet refund claims or other de-
mands against the company.
Orders on 1870 of Pictures.
Mr.. Page added that photog-
raphers were willing to print COM
plant cards for distribution to any
one wishing a refund on pictures.
He said the group would welcome
supervision of their refunds to DEM
onstrate integrity of the business"
About 18 of these photographers
are now operating, Mr. Page esti-
mated, each taking about 1000 pic
lures a day. Orders are received on
about 10 per cent of the pictures
taken, Mr.. Commit added. Both
he and Mr.. Page said that photog-
raphers who had failed to mail pic
lures ordered, taken poor pictures
or annoyed pedestrians were mainly
from other cities. The 10 men in
the association, he said, are all resi-
dents of the District.

being crushed-and there is not the
slightest doubt of the ultimate VIC
tory-there cannot be moments
slackening of the drive. Further
more a flight from this base to the
Philippines and from Eniwetok in
the Marshall Islands to Sydney
Australia, impressively develops the
fact that the greatest obstacle to
the American forward advance out
here is time-consuming distance.
In 25,000-mile flight the writer,
with seven other war correspond
ents who regularly are assigned to
the Navy Department, covered in
days the fighting areas which
would require weeks and even
months not only for the combatant
ships but the endless chain of YES
sells which are needed to supply
these forces at the front.
Fight Japs, Mud, Wind.
Into the forward areas we went
to see American sailors, marines
and Army units fighting the Japs
on the one hand and the typhoons,
with their winds, rains and mud, on
the other. And with typical Amer
lean stamina, ingenuity and re-
sourcefulness overcoming all OF
them.
During my visits to the fighting
areas I talked with Admiral Ches-
ter w. Nimitz, commander in chief
of the Pacific Fleet; 1t. Gen. Rob-
ert C. Richardson, Army commander
of the Pacific areas and former di-
rector of Army. public relations in
Washington; Vice Admiral John
Hoover, commander F3lward area /;
Brig. Gen. Haywood S. Hansel,
commander of the B-29 forces on
