Hidden tuberculosis
Gases Set at 4,000

Approximately 1000 persons in the
District have tuberculosis without
being aware of it, according to Ed
ward K. Funkhauser, executive Sec
retary of the tuberculosis Associ-
alton of the District of Columbia.
Speaking at a Civitan Club lunch
con at the Mayf1ower Hotel yester-
day, Mr.. Funkhauser said that fig
ure was based on an estimate of |
per cent of the population of 900, 900
residents in Washington and vicin-
ity. He said there were $3.50 known
cases, which, according to normal
estimating figures, would leave the
others as "undetected" sufferers of
the disease.
Mr.. Funkhauser deplored the lack
of hospital facilities. Only 1,l0O
beds are available in the District
for care of tuberculosis patients, and
$50 of these were recently closed
for lack of personnel He stressed
a need for minimum of at least
1900 beds, according to. estimates
of the D. c. tuberculosis Associa-
ton. calling for three beds for each
fatality. There were 600 deaths
from tuberculosis alone in the Dis
trict last year, he said, believed to
have cost $4,000 per death or total
cost of $6,0O0,000.
In addition to the closing Of the
$50 beds, Mr.. Funkhauser declared

Patterson Lauds Unity
Shown by Chap|ains

Secretary of War Patterson today
praised as a symbol Of desirable
world unity the mutual regard of
Army chaplains for faiths other
than their own.
He spoke before the Army and
Navy Religious Activities Commit
tee of the National Jewish Welfare
Board.
Situations such as that at Daniel
Field in Georgia illustrate the atti-
tude of the chaplains, he said. The
Methodist chaplain at the camp re-
ported: MY assistant is a Jew; the
Catholic chaplain has a Protestant
for his assistant; one of the Protes-
tant chaplains has a Catholic and
the other a Negro for his assistant
Perfect harmony prevails"
That one field is indicative of
the universal spirit among the
chaplains wherever they serve in
the armed forces" he said.
I'VE have won a war that in the
last analysis was started by two IA
natical gangs whose only creed was
race hate and whose chief political
weapon was racial and religious in
tolerance. We have purged the
world of their menace. In doing
so we have restored a large meas
ure of human unity and sanity to
the world. And we have pledged to
perfect that unity through the
United Nations Organization. That
we can do. We Americans have
proved that unity is possible on q
continental scale. To prove it pos
sible on world scale is goal
worth striving for with all our will
and might"

Britain, Siam Asked 10 Gel
U.S.. Views on Peace Pact

The United States has asked
Britain and Siam to delay conclu-
sion of peace agreement until
they have considered American
views, Acting Secretary of State
Acheson said today.
Mr.. Acheson did not discuss the
substance of the proposed agreement
at a news conference but news dis
patches have reported that the
British were seeking to impose eco
nomic and political conditions on
Siam which would interfere with
the independence of that country
and threaten the open door" trade
policy which the United States in
sists on in the Far East.
Under japanese domination, Siam
declared war on the Allies but the
Siamese government worked secretl,
with American forces during most
