The 3,482 069 membership growth during l944 breaks all previous years membership increases rec ords, and exceeds by 982,0O0 the for mer high of 2,500,000 additional per sons who enrolled in Blue Cross plans during 1943.
 In Connecticut 451 ,00O men, wo- men, mad children now budget their hospital bills through voluntary Blue Cross membership. according to c. H. Holt. acting general man. ager of the Connecticut Hospital Service, this states Blue Cross plan.
 Connecticut has been in the foreground of this national move ment for the last several years" Mr. Holt said, During 1944, with one in four of our population enrolled Connecticut kept pace in every re- spect with the nation in it's Blue Cross activities. Throughout the country, one in every eight is en rolled"
 New members enrolled on the average of 12,000 persons daily for each working day during 1944. They joined through their places of em- ployment such as offices, stores, in- dustrial plants, and public and pri- vate institutions and through pro- feSSional groups and farm and com- munity organizations. Employed persons join for themselves, and for their wives. or husbands, and chil- dren. As of the first of January, 54.8 of the total Blue Cross mem bership was comprised of family de- pendents and 45.2 per cent of en- loved persons.
 With the forming during 1914 of four new statewide plans Undiana, Florida, Arizona, and Utah), Blue Cross voluntary prepayment of hos pital bills is now available to the populations of 42 states, the District of Columbia, Canadian provinces, and Puerto Rico. This leaves only Arkansas, Mississippi, South Caro- lima, Idaho, Wyoming, and New Mexico without a community and hospital-sponsored non-profit Blue Cross hospital bill prepayment plan.
 Hospital bills paid by Blue Cross plans amounted to $75,00O,O00 dur ing 1944. Approximately 100000 Blue Cross subscribers, because oG illness or injury, required hospital care during the past year. The average hospital stay for the year was 726 days or 4 of a day less than for 1943.
 Doctor bill prepayment plans doubled in number during 1944, the year starting with II such plans and ending with p. There are now l7 states and 2 Canadian provinces served by medical plans which are sponsored by state and county med ical societies and made available to the public through ordination with Blue Cross hospital service plans. Membership as of January 1 of this year totaled 1500,0O0 per sons.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Research into the effects of trop;cal diseases, flying, and concussion on soldiers and veterans of World War II, has been started by the newly organized American Legion Medical Advisory board.
 Headed by Col. Leonard G. Rown- tree, chief of the Medical division of Selective Service, it includes world-famous specialists including Lieut.. Col. Charles Mayo from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. The board will work and cooperate With medical officers from Army, Navy and Veterans Administration supplemeting their research and study.
 Many veterans are turning up with ittle-understood ailments which are the direct result of trop- ical diseases. Same is true for fly CTS and persons who have been sub jected to severe concussions from bomb bursts or depth charges. Many of these problems are entirely new, incident to high-speed and high altitude flying and fighting in the tropics. The board hopes to find

NO RATION PLAN
 FOR LAUNDRIES
Local Firms Oppose Any Limitation of Service to
 War Workers

Despite the shortage of help and the large demand for service local laundry owners are opposed to a laundry ration plan, it was disclosed today. Such program would hinder morale, health, and conservation of goods, several operators claim.
 The WING recently suggested a plan to limit laundry service to war workers. The laundry owners of the city express the belief, however, showing of partiality to customers would have a detrimental effect on the business.
 One operator has pointed out that persons who board out, who are in validS, or who have small children need laundry service as much as do war workers, and it would be un- fair to rule them out.
 One large laundry closed down re- gently because of the shortage of help. Six major laundry industries are now in operation in the city, but it is reported one of them ex- poets to suspend operation shortly for the duration.

.'Conodo' Lee
 In New Role

New York, Jan 26 - CU.P0 - A former Negro prize fighter gave Shakespeare a workout and vice versa last night at the Alvin the- ater where The Tempest" was dLs- played in one of It's rare produc- tions. Rare because it is probably the least interesting and rewarding of the Bard's plays
 However, 1t enabled the ex-pug, Canada Lee, to add considerably to his stature in the theater by giving fine performance in the role of the grotesque monster Caliban. He was made up so he looked like a piece of seaweed with hangover.
 Lee, who was born Lionel Cane gata only to have the late an- gata only to have teh late an- nouncer Joe Humphries give out with something that sounded like Canada Lee, has come to theater prominence in an odd fashion. He's only been in the acting game about a dozen years, got into 1t by acci- dent in the early days of the fed eral theater and has had only four roles that meant anything on Broadway. Yet he is one of the towns prime favorites and is high ly esteemed in the profession for his histrionic ability
 Canada took Caliban in stride last night. It is role susceptible to many interpretations and he played 1t for all the hatred and revenge full spirit he could muster against his master. Prospero. Yet he kept Caliban a character about whom it was possible to feel sympathetic, softening him up bit in the late sequences. His reading" sounded as though he had been playing Shake speare all his life.
 Lee, who is 36 years old now. started professional boxing as a in 1927 after brief shot at being jockey He had g fights that year and won seven of them. He developed into promising well terweight and fought most of the topnotchers during his five years in the ring He quit in 1881 when the eyes began to go bad and had brief careers in Harlem as band leader and restaurant proprietor.
