under construction for the university
near Washington Circle, it was dis,
closed yesterday.
Exact sites for the two new build
i1gs were not specified. The project
was announced at a press conference
when DR.. Walter A. Bloedorn, dean
Of the medical school and medical
director Of the hospital. presented
the new hospital superintendent. Leo
G. Schneider.
Mr.. Schneider took over his duties
yesterday. He explained that a uni

twofold duty, which included service
to the public and instruction of med
ical students.

When the present plans of Cloyd
Heck Marvin, president of the uni

ried out, Mr.. SCHNEIDER said, II

be one Of the outstanding teaching

Russia, and it appears their dele
cations are entitled to admission
whenever they present themselves,
properly accredited.
The utmost optimism prevails
among the delegates now that the
conference has shown its ability
and willingness to give and take in
the settlement of disputes. The feel
ing that the Russians might be un-
willing to make compromises or to
carry onsif their wishes were not
fulfilled In every respect, which Iex-
listed in some quarters, has been
diSsipated.
"The conference is getting well
started" commented Senator Con-
nally. AS a member Of the United
States delegation I am highly graft
fed that the conference rejected
the proposal Of Mr.. Molotov as to
the seating Of Polish delegation
until such time as the new govern
ment OF Poland may be organized
according to the Yalta agreements. !"
Whether Poland will have q
chance to participate in the work
OF the conference depends entirely
upon how soon the Soviet-spon-
sored provisional government now
functioning in Warsaw can be re-
organized and recognized by the
four sponsoring powers. Despite
the desire of the delegates to have
Poland included in the delibera-
tions OF the conference. the pros
pect OF its doing SO now appears
dim.
U. s. Delegates In Agreement.
Senator Connally declared that
the United States delegationsi is in
general agreement as to all major
questions which may come before
the conference. 1--WE have had mar
velous unity Of purpose and har-
mony within the delegation" he
said. Since the arrival of the dele
gates here they have spent many
hours in closed session, meeting
morning, afternoon and night.
They have considered many modifi-
cations and amendments of the
Dumbarton Oaks plan.

The Texas Senator forced this
issue at meeting Of the delegation
today. Up to the present, American
correspondents have had to rely
largely upon foreign delegations for
information, which could well have
been given them by the American
delegation.

ican delegation, Chairman Bloom OF
the House Foreign Affairs Commit

publican, OF New Jersey, Joined
Senator Connally in expressing high
hope the conference viii conclude
its work successfully and speedily
Unanimity. Of Purpose.
THE thing that impresses me
most" said Mr.. Bloom, "is the
unanimity Of opinion among the
delegates from every country. They
all have one thought in mind, to
take back home with them what
they came for. and that is the COM
pleted plans for world organiza-
ton"
Mr.. Eatbn commented that "this
conference is the most hopeful ex-
perience in human history"
The fact that the conference has
nothing whatever to do with peace
terms. but only with setting up the
machinery for an international or
ganization, is making the problems
OF the delegates vastly easier.
Both Mr.. Bloom and Mr.. Eaton
gave Secretary of State Stettinius,
head of the American delegation,
credit for the progress which has
been made at the conference, and
for handling situations which have
arisen here.

and without any foundation in fact.
Senator Connally replied:
Il know what all of you boys know.
The Germans can't last long. On
the basis of information that has
been given to me and what I have
been told, expect the announce
ment OF the surrender to be made
momentarily."
When the AP reporter noted that
Senator Connally, who sat beside
Secretary of State Stettinius at this
afternoons sessions of the confer
ence, had access to information that
was denied reporters, Senator Con-
nally replied that this was true.

thorized 7,035 overtime hours for
women, of which 138,098 were in

DR.. Bloedorn and Mr.. Schmelzer
said the new institution will have
many unique features" One Of
these will be the obstetrical depart
ment, all on the third floor, where
small nurseries, ranging in size from
one bed to eight beds at maximum,
will be in close proximity to the
maternity wards, so infants can be
taken to their mothers with the
least possible corridor exposure
and provide opportunity for "edu-
cation" of new mothers in child

The physical medicine depart

of the most modern devices, includ-
ing water tanks for hydrotherapy
and devices for scientific uses of

One Of the most unusual new in
struments will be so-called "elec-

When the new hospital is ready
for occupancy, DR.. Bloedorn said,
the old hospital will cease accepting

He said, however, that he had au-
thorized the statement as quoted by
the Associated Press and had no
wish to change it at that time.
At the opening of the session, the
United Press reporter stated that
his service had not carried either
the earlier story in which the AP
quoted a high Government official
or the later story in which Senator
Connally was quoted by name. The
ms reporter followed suit.
The reporters in the conference
were Jack Bell, head Of the Associ-
ated Press Washington Senate stan
now assigned to the United Nations
Conference here: Charles B. Degges
Of the United Press and William
Theis of International News Service.
At the beginning, Senator Con-
nally asked reporters for two San
Francisco newspapers to leave the
room and talked only with the three.
Senator Connally several times
said that there was no use to have
arguments. The conference broke
up when Senator Connally observed
that there isn't any use going on
with this conference any longer"
Felt Report Justified.
After the UP and ms men left,
the AP reporter discussed with SEN
ator Connally the reaction which
the story had aroused.
Senator Connally reiterated that
he felt justified in having said what
he did.
Previously, the AP reporter had
spoken at some length with Senator
Connally as he left the afternoon
conference meeting.
The AP reporter walked with Sen
ator Connally across the street. The
chairman OF the Foreign Relations
Committee related that he had been
informed that the Germans had sur
rendered Internationally and that
an announcement had been ex-
pected earlier.
In the course of his conference
with the three wire service report
ers, Senator Connally was. asked by
the UP if it wasn't true that he had
no information from offcial sources
about the surrender.
No Ofiicial Information.
At that point Senator Connally
said he knew what everybody knew
and what had been told him, add
ing that he had mo official infor-
nation
Il know what all of you know
about it, Senator Connally said.
But" the AP correspondent re-
minded him, you have sources of
information that are not available
to us, Senator"
Senator Connally agreed that was
true.
Both the International News
Service and the United Press car
ried stories pegged to Senator Con-
nally's having said tonight that he
lacked any official information when
he spoke with the AP reporter.
The United Press reporter wrote
that Senator Connally was asked
specifically if he made the state
ment on the basis Of information
from all sources" adding that
Senator Connally replied:
Yes, from all sources. I had no
ohicial information"
The story was handled similarly
by the international News Service.
The Senator told the AP reporter
previously and repeated that he be-
lieved the of1cial word of Germany's
military collapse would be forth
coming in a matter of hours.

Mr.. Ickes believes that "the race

100000 tons of coal, if possible,
by the end of this year for the
purpose of saving both American

Compulsory Physical
Training
CORNELL UNIVERSITY

CORNELL UNIVERSITY an
nounces the adoption of per-
manent compulsory physical train
ing program for freshmen and So
phomores who will be required to
devote three hours weekly to some
sport.
The idea is ITO make such train
ing enjoyable rather than a chore'
by emphasizing games and partic-
ularly carry-over sports beneficial
to health after graduation. In
structors will teach swimming.
tennis, golf, badminton, squash,
bowling, hand ball, fencing, volley
ball and other sports.
We call attention to the action
Of this university because the num-
Der of men and women rejected for
the armed forces reveal the neces-
sity of greater attention to physi-
cal development in our schools and
colleges.
The program announced at Cor
nell is along the right line, because
it attempts to enlist the pleasur-
able interest of participants in the
various sports and because the stu
dent, upon leaving the University,
will be able to enjoy participation
in the sports in which he has ac-
CURED some proficiency.
Other schools and colleges would
be well to follow the example set
by Cornell which is, after all,
along the lines of the physical edu-
cational program installed in the
schools Of Washington some years
ago.

noted and after considerable ques-
tioning the suspect confessed,
clearing the man who had served
nearly four years in prison for a
crime he did not commit.
An interesting angle of the case
is that the guilty man told the
police that-in 1941, in an effort to
help the innocent man in prison,
he attempted to commit another
forgery, hoping that the police
could then recognize that the
other man could not have forged
the checks for which he was con-
victed. He admits that the attempt
to help the innocent man failed,
but that the transaction Melted
him profit of $4,000.
Police state that the forgeries
Of the guilty man were so artistic
that they fooled bank experts and
enabled him to steal $480,000 in
fifteen years in various parts of
the country. OF this amount, some
100000 came from banks in the
City of New York.
The question now arises as to
what compensation can be made to
the man who served term in pris-
on as a result of the miscarriage
Of justice. Under New York law,
we understand, he can sue the state
for false Imprisonment and prob
ably receive money award.
Nevertheless, there is no pecuniary
compensation that will make good
the suffering endured by this man,
his wife and family.
