 Anne Baxter, in the role of Evelyn Heath, has part entirely different from anything she has done in her short but varied career.
 Heading an outstanding featured cast is Ralph Bellamy, fresh from a New York triumph in the hit play Tomorrow The World" MT Bellamy enacts the role of Douglas Proctor, sensitive artist whose life is nearly warped by the malicious lies of the willful guest"

Chicago, Feb. - (U.PD - Com jlete victory over venereal diseases In the near future was predicted today by Dr. Thomas Parran, surg eon-general of the U. s. Public Health Service.
 "The first job is to find a larger proportion of the people who are in lected to get them under treatment promptly, not only for their own welfare, but so they may no longer infect others" Parran told meet ing of the American Social Hygiene Association.
 Millions of Americans will re- ceive blood tests this year but these must be done even more widely. Such tests should be a part of all medical examinations; should in- clude a routine test before marriage and test during pregnancy. Tho latter examinations are now con- pulsory in many states aand should be extended nationwide. What has been done in this direction has greatly lowered the amount of con- genital syphilis"
 IlC CACClACllO "aA ASNOhO AA venereal disease control has been due to intelligent work of family physicians and other health work CTS, but would not have been pos sible without consistent public sup port, Dr. Parran said. He emphasiz- ed that the outlook for the future is in what Penlcillin and other rapid treatment methods can do. but the big task Is prevention of these dis eases through cooperation in the homes, school and churches.
 The group awarded the William Freeman Snow Medal for distin- guished service to humanity to Ma jor General Merritte w. Ireland. former surgeon-general of the U. s. Army. Honorary life member ship in the American Social Hygiene Association was conferred on Dr. Bertha Shafer, director of the Illi- nois Social Hygiene League.
