BY THE OUT-EAsTER

BY THE OUI-EAS lEh
 Kindly and good people were the residents of the West End of years ago. People are still good down that way, but our acquain- tanceship was with the families when the Irish predominated in ana about so-called Seeryville, Sperry street, Ann street and nearby West Main street.
 If you went to the circus around 1900, you may have a re- collection of the railroad track running through Seeryville at grade, and continuing southward to the old New England station in muddy Meadow street, at the foot of what was once Cedar The engine whistled it's warning as the train roared by, but there were no gates, except at West Main street, and consequently some people were killed and number injured. But that was the way it was in those days; rail- roads controlled the commissions, and safety angle was not observ- ed in the manner we find it as of the present.
 We recall many of the old fam lilies, such as the Shanleys around the bend from West Main street, the Kilmartins, the Ryans the Fox family, the Freeneys, the MoranS the HenebryS, the F'ruinS, and the Spellmans. The other day Mrs. Spellman died at her home, 30 Willow street, her husband, Mi chael, died few years back. We knew them well, especially MT. Spellman. The family was too young to remember us. But we can never forget the hospitality of Mrs Spellman, as we appeared with MT. Spellman. The house was open, and we were as well come as the flowers of May. We were the family guest, not once, but often, like others, and our appetite never failed us when there were good things to eat.
 The tenderness and gracious ness of Mrs. Spellman was ob- servable from our very first visit. After all, one can hardly forget such manifestations of good will, unless it be he lacks the con- science of the sincere. Still, we know many who in their advance in life, neglect the common de- cency of recognition, and fail in their thoughts, and memory of dear ones, solictious of their well fare and progress, at time when their struggles were heavy and when they actually cried out for help. Mrs. Spellman was one who responded in this matter from time to time; she was born that way; she loved to do the right

Fund to Aid In Research
 Heort Disease
 To Be Studied

New York, Nov. 2-(UP)1The life insurance industry announced yesterday the establishment of $3,- 5Oo,OO0 fund for a six-year medical research in the United States and Canada.
 M. Albert Linton, chairman of the joint committee of the Amer ican Life Convention and the Life Insurance Association of America, said 143 insurance companies in the United States and Canada had pledged support of the program, the first goal of which will be re- search into what was called the number one killer"-heart and atrerial disease.
 The first project was chosen, Lin ton said, because heart and arter1al disease are the chief cause of death in the United States, causing roughly 30 per cent of all deaths annually.
 Recommendations for allocation of funds will be made by an ad- visory committee of eight medical men, all of whom are connected with medical schools or universities. A scientific director of the fund will be chosen shortly from recognized leaders in the field of medical re- search" following which headquar- ters will be opened and consider ation of a location will begin.
 Annual contributions from the life insurance companies will total $78000, or two and one half the total annual grants from founda- tions for research in the circula- tory disease field.

Fire in Tokyo

Tokyo has many wide fire-breaks
and special park areas to block off
and confine conflagrations, but
these appear to have been made
quate protection against the inferno
just let loose by more than 800 OF
our Super Fortresses striking from
the Marianas in their mightiest and
most devastating blow to date.
AS described by the Twenty First
Bomber Command, the target area
of approximately fifteen square
miles was central Tokyo, congested
with railroad stations, small fac
tories, workers homes and an esti-
mated population of more than
100000. Significantly, as if indi-
eating decision to supplement pre-
cision bombing with area satura-
ton, the attack was entirely an in
cendiary one. No high explosives
were unloaded; instead, the B-29s
let down a deadly rain of about
1900 tons of fire bombs calculated
to create vast sea of flame within
the heart of the city.
Dropped on any metropolis, 1900
tons of incendiaries are certain to
cause widespread havoc, but dropped
on Tokyo they must be two or three
times more destructive than any
where else. The reason for this is
well known: 1t is simply that the
imperial capital, despite all it's fire.
breaks, is jammed with f1imsy real
estate, making it's combustibility
unique among the major cities of
the world. This peculiar weakness
has now been grimly underscored by
the great attack from the Marianas.
According to the airmen who TOOK
part, including high officers, Tokyo
never before in the war has suffered
such blow, the damage wrought
being described as perhaps fifty
times heavier than any inflicted in
any previous visitation by the B-29s.
AS General Lemay, chief of the
TWenty-First Bomber Command,
cautions, we must reserve judgment
on the results achieved until COM
plete Photographic evidence is avail
able and all reports are correlated,
but he himself does not seem to
doubt that the final report of the
attack will show the Super Fort
resses scoring by far their most i'm
portant victory since entering the
war. The smoke and smoldering
ashes In Tokyo today must leave the
japanese tremendously depressed,
and they must be more depressed
still when they contemplate the fu-
ture and give thought to the fact
that one of these days 1000 or more
B-29s may come over.
The prospect is quite clear: The
capital of the Empire of the Rising
Sun is now well on its way to be-
coming the Berlin of Asia. How far

tuberculosis Control

Under the existing administrative
organization of the Health Depart
ment, the health officer is charged
with responsibility for the public
health program and policies in
Washington, including control of
tuberculosis. The tuberculosis Bu-
reau, as a division of the Health
Department, is concerned princi-
pally with the discovery of cases,
assignment to hospitals and clinical
treatment. A deputy health officer
has the immediate supervision over
hospitals, including ALLEGATION of
bed space and hospital treatment of
tuberculosis patients
Representative Mcmillan of South
Carolina has introduced bill which
would place all functions of the
Health Department pertaining to
treatment and control of tubercu-
losis under the administrative con-
troll of a new assistant health Off
Ger in charge of tuberculosis. He
would formulate general policies,
appoint and fix the compensation
of clinic supervisors, allocate the
hospital space available and review
all the estimates of appropriations
for tuberculosis control
The bill reflects lack of confidence
In the present system of tubercu-
loSiS control in the District. But
whether deficiencies in this system
are the result of defects in the
administrative organization or
whether they are due to the in
compatibility of personnel is mat
ter that should be threshed out in
hearings on the bill. If the in
ability of officials to get along we'll
together is the source of difficulty
in tuberculosis control, the remedy
would lie in changing personnel
rather than the organization of the
Health Department.
The Importance of tuberculosis
control may warrant an eXtraor-
dinary grant of authority to the
individual in charge. But as long
as the health officer is given the
responsibility for all phases of the
health program, it would seem that
he should continue to be the arbiter
between claims as to the Importance
of one health activity over another.
Regardless of the merits of the Nc
MILAN bill, hearings on that meas
ure should offer a good opportunity
for exchange of points of view over
how efficiently tuberculosis control
in the District is functioning now.
1t may be found that better team
work, rather than new legislation, is
needed.

Air Competition

In his report opposing single-com-
pany operation of the Nations inter-
national air transportation. Attor-
ney General Biddle, like many others
who have looked into this particular
problem, espouses the cause of COM
petitive free enterprise but says at
the same time that the competition
must be controlled.
Mr. Biddle stands with the ma
jority of American airlines against
the so-called community company"
idea. This proposal-favored by Pan
American Airways and United, and
embodied in a bill advocated by Sen
ator McCarran-would do away with
competition in the overseas field by
establishing single organization
owned and controlled by all United
States avia ton interests able to con-
tribute to it.
Advocates of the plan argue that
1t would be much more sensible to
have it than to have dozen or more
of our airlines trying to prosper in
the transoceanic business by COM
peting not only against each other
but against powerful foreign monop-
olies as we'll In support of this. it
is claimed that since Britain and
other key countries have long since
adopted the single-company setup,
the United States. under the present
arrangement, faces distinct compel
itive disadvantages 1t is claimed.
further, that there is simply not
enough profitable opportunity to JUS
tify the operation of several Ameri-
can lines in the overseas field and
chat such operation can be main
tanned only with Government sub
sidy.
The opposite argument, however,
is that the community company"
proposal, if adopted, would result in
monopoly and that our interna-
tional air transport industry-sub-
ject only to reasonable Government
egulation-must have competition
to develop and thrive. just as our
domestic industry must have it. Mr.
Biddle takes pretty much the same
view. but with important qualifica-
tions. For although he opposes the
single company idea and recon-
mends special measures to encourage
competitive operation. he makes
clear that he favors definite limita-
tions on the number of competitors.
Thus, he suggests two alternative
control plans. Under the first, the
Atlantic service would be allocated
to one company. the Latin American
service to another, and the Pacific to
