MEDICINE SAVES MORE GI LIVES
General Credits Gains To Training As We'll As New Drugs

We are at war. Some men are go- ing to be wounded and some will die, But one thing Is certain everything known to medical sci- ence will be used to save them"
 General Hawley then went on to speak about the all-nround health of the Army. He said that during the influenza epidemic here not one patient died from 1t. He talked about the cases of shell- shocked and nerve-racked men and told of the eft1cacy of power full electric and insulin shocks upon the former and of strong sleeping draughts for the latter. He also stressed the fact that ale though there had been consider able talk about the prevalence of venereal diseases among our boys over here, he did not think 1t was any higher than at home.
 HAS SON IN ARMY
 "The difference is," he explained, that here the boys must 90 to the Army doctors. Tn the States, many of them are treated by pri- vate physicians and there is no record of them"
 As the general talked, his hu- man side continually came to the fore. He was neither @ grufi military man nor Q cold scientist, He was born 53 years ago in Col lege Corner, Ohio, where an old lady still lives who proudly reads about her son,
 After studying medicine at tine University of Cincinnati and be. coming a doctor, he kept up his studies for some seven years at the Army Medical school, Later ht attended the Command and Gen. eral Staff College ct Lort Leav- enRorth and the Army War Col lege at Washington. Two and a half years ago he arrived in the European Theater of Operations and began organizing the medical service.
 II have two children" he told mo as was leaving. "a boy and Q girl. My son is in an armored die vision and so is my son-ir-law. They have dangerous jobs, But know that If either of them is wounded he will get the best medi- cal care in the world. And that goes for every boy in the Army"

URGES FITNESS PROGRAM FOR
 POSTWAR YOUTH
By JAMES .. BTxBY

ny SANA8o As DAaADA
 United Pres Stan COrrespondent)
 Chicago, March 20-tUp)--Rigors Of war have re-emphasized to phvsl- cal education leaders in the Chi- cago area importance of adequate postwar training programs to keep the nations youth in l-A physical condition.
 And Northwestern university and the University of Chicago plan to do something about "the coddled children of today.
 Prof. Leon KranZ, quite. Speoken head of N us physical education program, wants to provide Q rigid postwar training plan for youth, stressing mass participation and patterned on present Army-Navy standards.
 Kranz referred to recent figures showing that 50 per cent of the first 100000 men exar'i O. were physically unfit f'r selective service, and nearly half of those inducted were far from being top physical specimens,
 We've become too soft" Krans said.
 We should have learned our les- son in World War l." he added. Instead we returned to life of ease and luxury"
 Kranz said postwar training twill be a challenge to American edu- cators."
 Years ago, he said, youth devel- oped stamina from farm chores and walking miles to school, To- day children are coddled by riding to school and performing chores by pressing buttons
 He outlined a tentative peace- time program which would set aside one hour Q day for physical exer- else, establish standards of body condition and institute health in- struction in elementary and high schools.
 Far from producing a physically 1t people, our sports program Is in large way responsible for the physical shortcomings indicated by the high percentage of draft rec jections," Kran2 said.
 He said he believed too great em- phasis has been attached to com potitive sports at the expense Of mass training.
 "The standards set by the Army and Navy physical training pro- grams in college and camps during the war should form the basis of peacetime plans" Kranz asserted. Tt will be regretful if we do not retain them"
 Meanwhile, Erwin F. Beyer, physical education instructor at the University of Chicago, pointed to the recent crowning of the uni- versity's Lou Levet us l943 AAU Sidehorse champion despite the handicap of infantile paralysis as a boy, indicating that physical edu- cation may play large role In restoring the use of the lower limbs to returning war veterans.
 Such re-education," Beyer said, might possibly play a tremendous role in psychological rebirth of the men with lower limb war injuries. Well trained teachers would choose activities in which success has the best chance to accrue"

FIGURES ON LOCAL
 SURVEY RELEASED
Slight Change Noted in Number of Homes for
 Sale or for Rent

Waterbury has 28,0o0 dwelling units of which 995 per cent are oc.. cupled according to the results oi Q recent sample survey made by the Bureau of Census of the Depart' ment of Commerce. This survey released by Director J. c. Capt ana made at the request of the National Housing AgencWy covered all types of residential structures except pun- lie housing developments.
 The percentage of 0.5 unoccupied dwelling units indicates slight in- crease in the number of unoccl- pied dwellings in this city since April, lo43 when @ similar survey was made. At that time the gross vacancy rate was 0.2 per cent.
 Of this 0.5 per cent of habitable dwellings 0.4 were for rent and O,l for sale. Units under construction are not included in this table.
 All the unoccupled dwelling units in the sample were habitable. The average size of these units was five rooms and about two-thirds were equipped with all the standards fa- cilities - installed heating, gas or electric light, running water, flush toilet and bathing unit. Three fourths of the habitable vacancies were rental units for which tho average (median) monthly rental asked was $3l and the average size was five rooms.
 Tn addition to the vacant dwell- ings, 1t is estimated from inter" views with household members that approximately 130 rooms in occu- pied dwellings were available for rent. These rooms were expected to accommodate some 175 roomers.
 The estimate was released by John M. DobbS, Regional representative of the MIA and was made to esti- mate the possibilities of housing in- migrant war workers in existing structures.
