presents leading experts speaking for both sides on controversial ques- tions, and gives members of the studio audience their opportunity to question the speakers, was found ed in May, 1885, as a public serv- ice feature of the network. Its founder, George V. Denny, Jr., president of Town Hall. New York, is it's moderator.
 Cary Grant, famous film star, will portray a heroic army major in the first broadcast of ''The Doctor Fights" which makes it's debut to- night at 9:30 p. m., over CBS sta- tions. The new series will feature leading Hollywood motion picture stars in half hour dramatizations of the actual feats accomplished by medical officers of the armed forces during World War II.
 First broadcast of the series, star ring Cary Grant, will dramatize the achievement of Major Livingstone Pope Noell, Jr., the physician who elected to stay with the litter cases on Bataan when the hospital unit and all the nurses were evacuated to Corregidor. He was in the March of Death to Camp O'Donnell, then, in succession, to the military camp at Capatuan, a Jap labor detail on Bataan, Bilibid prison, returned to Capatuan and finally secured his transfer to Santo Tomas. The 29- year-old major, who wears a Pres idential Unit citation, two clusters, two Filipino decorations and two campaign ribbons, will be heard in person on the program.
 In the broadcast in which Cary Grant will portray Major Noell, the story of the night of the liberation of Santo Tomas will be graphically portrayed. Dr. Noell, four other doctors and 70 nurses cared for the casualties which occurred when the Japs ambushed the American First Cavalry Division a few blocks from the camp. The hospital unit was set up in small building, with sec ond emergency operating room in the basement of the main university building.
 The medical staff was so weak from hunger that it was necessary to feed them hot mush while they worked.
 And there was only one operat- ing table for more than 100 casual ties. To reach the second table meant exposing themselves to Jap snipers, 50 of whom were still hold ing out and keeping up intermittent firing all night long
 It is the story of saving lives by hlckering portable lamps in the face of bullets and the risk of having ether fumes at any moment blow up in the emergecy hospital that will be dramatized in the first pro- gram Of The Doctor Fights

Salary ReclassificatOn for POstmen' was the theme of special radio broadcast heard WOR at 1I5 o'clock today. The speaker was William Doherty president of the National Association of Letter Car riers The audience included a section Cf WaterburyS contingent of loyal, efficient post office employees who managed to get radio for the speech. The folks at home warned to tune in for the ad dress. The Postal Pay bill is to be voted on in the U. S. Senate within a few weeks It has passed the House and from all indications the members of the Senate of public support of the measure and the we'll known fact that Postal employees are justly entitled to readiustment of their wages, substan tia boost after waiting 20 years! In these days of political pressure groups it seems incredible that such worthy group of employees could have remained so silent about their wishes when hard-boiled union leaders intimidated the nation into kicking" in plenty.

Japanese school children are taught that there was an emperor of Nippon before there was a ruler over Hell-or, at any rate, before his present Satanic Majesty took the hot seat. The first Mikado, -mikoto, ultimately be- came the devil himself.
 Without being really explicit, Jap anese history infers that Hirohito, emperor since 1926, is a direct lin- cal descendant botk. of Susanoo (now the Old Nick) and of his sis- ter, the Sun Goddess Amaterasu- O-Mikami.
 Should we bomb the imperial pal ace and try to kill tn Mikado, to demonstrate that he is merely mor- tai? Should we spare him, and omit him from any war c: .minal list, both because he is supposed to have a personal preference for liberalism and peace, and because any threat to his person would aggravate Jap- anese fanaticism?
 Any intelligent decision must rest upon study of the status of the god Emperor idea and of Shintoism in the Nipponese political setup.
 WORSHIP MIKADO
 The Mikado on the throne at any given time is boss god to all but a minute minority of educated Jap- anese. Every member of his family, however remote, is a superior god. Every Jap, however humble, is a descendant of gods. So is the very soil of Japan.
 These things are taught as "his- tory" and fact to Japanese children. They are, narrowly, the tenents of Shintoism, which is accepted as a religion by only about 16,500,000 persons as contrasted with more than Al, 10000 who avow Buddhism. But whatever their religious affilia- tion, virtually all JapS accept the divinity of the emperor and the myth as to his lineage.
 The minority which rejects the identity of the Mikado with boss god is made up largely of the same oligarchy that promulgates the god Emperor myth. Throughout recorded Nipponese history, the group that possessed the person of the Mikado has traded upon his accepted divin- ity, with tongue in cheek, in order to rule the nation according to it's Whims.
 That situation involves some Or iental reasoning. The god-Emperor has to be divine and sacrosanct as an institution, but mortal as an in- dividual. Otherwise he could, if he had character, upset the oligarchy. So it is accepted that the Emperor is born of woman, marries, fathers heirs and dies. He can even be de- posed. Many have been.

night announced it has reaffirmed

cate an airport on the site-of former

ing Appeals to oppose the plan.

for the use of said property for
airport purposes shall be granted
by the appropriate zoning authori-
ties for the territory In which pro-
posed airport is situated and proper
evidence of said action is presented

'DDT Test Kills Insects
On Parson' S Island

DR.. E. N. Cory, chief entomologist
at the University of Maryland, re-
ported yesterday that very excel
lent results" have been achieved in
dusting with DDT, potent new in
secticide, in an experiment on Par
sons Island in Eastern Bay.
DR.. Cory said that the use of only
OF pound of DDT per acre killed
virtually all flies and mosquitoes
on the island. He said expert
menters will double the dose Tues
day to catch insects that have mi
grated from the mainland and also
in an effort to kill the mosquito
larvae.
Officials at the Fish and Wildlife
Refuge at Patuxent, where DDT Was
sprayed by air over a 117-acre tract
last month, said this experiment
will not end until fall when COM
plete results will be released. Five
pounds Of the insecticide per acre
were used in this experiment.
While early laboratory tests have
indicated that DDT is injurious to
aquatic life, DR. Cory said the dust
ing on May 80 has had no harmful
effect on fish, birds, wildlife or live
stock.
DR.. Cory said Parsons Island was
selected for the experiment because
1t is owned by Mccormick g. Co.,
Baltimore spice firm. Under State
law, property owners within range
of the dusting operations must give
permission for the experiment.

School Group
lndorses Lynch
ForAssembIy
Fuirfux Association
To Luunch Active
Drive for Candidate

The Fairfax County School I'M
provement Association prepared to
begin this week an "active cam
paign" in support of the candidacy
of Edwin Lynch for the Democratic
nomination as Fairfax County men,
ber of the House of Delegates. Mr..
Lynch is opposing 1t. Robert j. Nc
Candlish, jr., incumbent now serv-
ing in the Navy overseas, in the
August primary.
In indorsing Mr.. Lynch, the asso-
citation said it was following its poll
Icy of supporting at the polls those
candidates who stand for improved
educational facilities.
The association said it had ex-
amined 1t. McCandlish's record and
found that he voted against a pro-
posal to increase teachers salaries
by about $4,400,000 during the 1914
session of the General Assembly,
and opposed an alternative proposal
to add $875, 900 to teachers salaries.
Both appropriations would have been
payable only If surplus existed in
the State.
Cites Aims to Group.
Mr.. Lynch, who addressed the
association last week, told members
that he has been disappointed at
the level of politics in Fairfax
County.
He said he favored use of the
States surplus for school purposes
cooperation with the Federal Gov
ernment to secure aid for adequate
buildings; free textbooks for all
school children; increased voca-
tonal education facilities; l2-
year school system; an effective
school health program, and a sim
plif1ed method of selecting school
trustees, either by a direct vote of
the people or by appointment by
the board of supervisors.
In addition to these school meas
ures, Mr.. Lynch said he stood Tor
better rural health facilities, more
adequate facilities for tuberculosis
patients and the creation of a.
State loan fund to enable localities
to construct hospital facilities.
Source of Revenue.
He said he would favor paying for
these improvements by a slight in
crease in the State income tax, and
small increases in the corporation
tax, the tax on merchants capital
stocks and an increase in the tax
on public utilities. He said he also
would favor temporary" sales
tax If this were needed.
Lester Kellogg, association chair
man, said members of the group
have been 4amused" at the tricks
pulled by politicians"
The actions of those who hank
around the courthouse are interest
ing and Disappointing" Mr.. kellogg
said--s.sIt Is disappointing to see
the lack OF regard fos the people |
shown by this group"
John H. King, member, said he
had conferred with Senator Byrd |
and Representative Smith, Demo-
Gratis, of Virginia, and both had
agreed that school improvements |
are needed IN the area.
He said Senator Byrd favored a
reorganization of the school board
setup, and had agreed that the
Board of Supervisors should have
more control over school measures.

BALTIMORE, July 21.-A possible
loss of 100000 to tobacco growers
on Southern Maryland auction mar
kets because of weather conditions
this week was reported today by
the Agriculture Department
The department announced, how
ever, that the weather aided in the
selling of the 1914 crop and made
possible an increase of volume dur
ing the last two days of the week
because farmers were able to handle
and strip out the unsold portion of
their crops.
Gains of 81 and 50 per 100 pounds
were reported for low green and
nonaescript tobacco, A very small
percentage of these offerings and
practically all other grades sold at
the $57 ceiling.
On Monday one set of buyers will
be taken of the Upper Marlboro
market and two sets taken off the
Hughesyille, La Plata and Waldorf
markets, the agency reported. This
leaves one set of buyers, to care for
the three warehouses in Upper
Marlboro and one set to cover sales
by rotating daily on the four ware
houses at the old markets.
Auction sales this week totaled
2 ,l65, ,526 pounds at a $56.31 average.
First-hand sales for the season now
stand at 24,s57 ,450 pounds at a
$55.16 average.
