Group Droft Plan
To Meet City Needs

The District of Columbia Medical
Society today announced It Is
making plans for a new type Of pre-
payment medical service to meet
the increased needs OF wartime
Washington.
Details of the plan have not been
determined, but it is understood it
will be different from the mutual
health service which the medical
society abandoned several years
ago.
DR.. Fred r. Sanderson, society
president, said today a committee
Is working on the matter and de-
velopments are expected within q
reasonable time.
Consultant Designated.
At the request of the society, the
United States Public Health Service
has designated DR.. R. c. Williams,

a consultant.
The Medical Society Committee
on Medical Economics, headed by
DR.. j. Lloyd Collins, met at noon

consider progress. Vice chairman
of the committee is DR.. Frank Co.'S
tenbader. The"12 members are con-
sidering comprehensive report on

secretary of the society.
Reports on Meeting.
Mr.. Wiprud reported a great deal
of information on the operation of
medical plans elsewhere which he
obtained at a meeting in Chicago
last week of the Medical Service
Plans Council of America. Mr.
Wiprud said that most of the at
tempts throughout the country to
establish medical care prepayment
plans with "full coverage" had
either been abandoned or had been
restricted in the amount of coverage
available.
Attending this meeting with Mr..
Wiprud were DR.. Costenbader and
DR.. Frank Eichenlaub. AL of these
prepayment medical care plans Mr..
Wiprud characterized as expert
mental" but he predicted that "out

Arlington Cemetery
Expansion Opposed
By County Board
Representative Smith
Given Protest on Project;
Other Sites Proposed

The Arlington County Board and
the Chamber of Commerce have
protested to Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia against the
Federal Governments projected
move to acquire additional land for
the Arlington National Cemetery,
officials of both bodies said today.
Charles A. Toone, president of the
Arlington Board of Trade, said that
organization also was opposed to the
expansion.
Leo C. Lloyd, chairman of the
County Board, said he notified Mr..
Smith yesterday of the boards op-
position to further expansion of the
cemetery. He said the board had
gone on record several months ago
as opposing any such move and
members had suggested that it would
be much less expensive venture to
purchase undeveloped land in other
areas rather than negotiate for the
already highly developed properties
under discussion.
Constant threat of an expansion
move by the Government had al
ready tended to lower property
values in that section, board mem
bers said.
Mr.. Lloyd said that in his estima-
ton the lane which the Govern
ment proposes to acquire is second
in value only to the Clarendon shop
ping district. Mr.. Smith was out Of
town and could not be reached for
comment.
An Executive Committee meeting
OF the Chamber d Commerce was
to be held today for discussion Of
the expansion proposal. The Post
war Planning Committee of the
chamber already has adopted a
recommendation "that the bound
aries of the Arlington National
Cemetery, if expanded, be expanded
only on presently owned Federal
property"
Another Site Favored.
Further acquisition of land
here" Mr.. Stone said, will even-
tually so narrow our base for tax
revenues that the financial struc-
ture of the community will be ad-
versely affected. An extension of
the cemetery to include 81 acres
now privately owned would remove
from taxation some of the most
valuable property in the county.
1t would be better and less costly
if the Government would purchase
a large tract or if necessary several
tracts some distance from Washing
ton for burying the heroic dead of
the Nation"
Mr.. Stone said that accommoda-
tions ultimately would have to be
elsewhere, that it was the chambers
belief that such q decision should
be made now rather than post
poned.

EnIivens Conference
At Pentoeon With
New Song Hit
By NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Irving Berlin, veteran song writer
Of two wars, is returning over
seas soon to rejoin the cast Of
his unforgettable military show,
This Is the Army" in an invasion"
Of North Africa and Italy.
The famed Army troupers, having
completed a conquest of England In
a three-month campaign, Mr.. Ber-
lin showed up Unexpectedly in
Washington yesterday afternoon to
plan for the Mediterranean tour Of
camps and hospitals. He left with
officials an indelible impression Of
how the show Is harmonizing Anglo
American relations.
At the Pentagon, where anything
can happen, he broke with the ira
ditional dullness and dignity Of
Army press conferences by singing
for delighted newsmen a verse Of
MY British Buddy" q new Berlin
song hit written especially for the
overseas version Of the show.
If you haven't heard the lyrics,
here they are:
MY British Buddy,
We're as different as can be.
He thinks he's winning the war,
And I think it's me:
But we're both In there pitching
And on one thing we agree
When the job is done
And the war is won
Well be clasping hands across
the sea-"
First Song Discarded.
Mr.. Berlin confessed he had pre-
viously written a "heavy, pompous"
song called England and America, {"
but substituted the foregoing verses
before the troup sailed overseas. II
tried them out on some Britishers
first and they agreed that the lines
wouldn't create rivalry because they
expressed what they thought, too"
he explained.
"The song requires a voice." Mr..
Berlin protested mildly. But he
sang 1t without benefit of micro
phone in faint, sweet and unaf-
fected tenor. It's a real hit.
This Is the Army" has netted
$7000. 900 for the Army Emergency
Relief, he disclosed. The screen

knights, who was sent to Omaha
at the behest of the food and fiber
committee to make a study of the
entire set-up of the huge plant now
nearing capacity operations there,

The chemist pointed out to XII
wanians that the Omaha plant has
a capacity of 10000 gallons of COM
mercial alcohol a day and that
many farm products including
grains, sorghumS, cantaloupeS, sugar
beets. milo maize, grapefruit and
the like. are used exclusively He
stressed the fact that Imperial val
ley is adapted especially for this
kind of industry because of the
rapid growth and maturing of crops
and because of the continuous grow
ing season here.
In addition to the high alcohol
ccntents of these farm items, the
by-products in themselves increase
the revenue for such plants, lend
ing themselves especially to stock
feeding and contributing to other
valuable products including ele-
ments used in producing dry ice,
fuel oils. imitation extracts and
paint and varnisheS.
Members engaged in general
discussion as to how to encourage
more residents to come to the val
ley permanently
Suggestions included an inten-
sive housing program with modern
and moderately priced homes;
boosting the valley as winter
tourist paradise, more widespread
air conditioning installations and
the building of more industries to
produce stable payrolls.
