V. (Very) D. (Dangerousj

Vs \VcEyD O \Oan8efOusy
 For hundreds of years social cus- tom made ignorance about VD an tmwritten law. Newspapers wouldn't write about 1t. Mice" people didn't say the words syphilis and gon- orrhea out loud. All discussion about these dangerous diseases and how. they are passed on was banned from mediums of public informa- ton. Then Surgeon General Thom- as Parran ten years ago cracked the taboo, after radio station cut him off the air just as he was about to pronounce the word syphilis.
 But that taboo still has power and strength. Radio still fears to tell the wole story of VD across the air waves. Mrs. Grundy still relegateas discussion of this vital topic to ponderous, carefully word- ed discussions by doctors that Joe Doakes, Mrs. Doakes and the kid dies probably will dial out.
 Americas schools (with 8 few honorable exceptions) still fear to let the breath of fresh air into the classroom through frank discus sion of sex education, integrated into the regular school curriculum. Hollywood, which plays to box-of- flee of 80,000, 900, puts the Veto on all mention of V-D on the screen. Only one movie, "The Silver Bull let" ever mentioned syphilis by name in an American film. Yet 13 million Americans approaching 1/1Oth of our population, today &C., tually suffer from the diseases that these self-appointed guardians of our morals refused to let us hear about.
 VD, in case you didn't know it, means Veneral Disease. It also means Very Dangerous Syphilis and gonorrhea, if untreated, can cause death, insanity, crippling and deformity. Today these diseases gre skyrocketing in the United States.
 Approximately 100000 new cases of syphilis and gonorrhea were re- ported to the U. s. Public Health Service in just the first six months of 1946. Dr. John R. Heller, head of the Services, Venereal Disease Bureau, warns: Civilian VD rates are climbing through the entire country" Vice Admiral Ross T. Me- Intire, M. D., Surgeon General of the U. s. Navy, says VD rates have doubled in many cities.
 In New York City Gone of the nations cleanest cities) VD is up 29 percent over last year for the first half of 1946 In August alone vD in New York City was fl percent higher than in the same month a year ago.
 Behind those figures is 6 start ling paradox-of victory in war; defeat in peace.
 It's an amazing fact that dur ing wartime our country has twice been able to register it's biggest advances against the ravages o1 venereal disease. Great gains were made in World War I. Then vigi- lance was relaxed. Government money, formerly allocated for con- trol, was diverted to other pur- poses. Epidemic followed. Thou-

mot hold water! Consult the U. s. Public Health Service. Its find ings prove that wherever houses of prostitution are closed down, VD rateaS go down with them. And New York City is living proof that suppression curbs vice and keeps it curbed as long as enforcement of the law is vigilantly maintained. Gotham bans prostitution, and Gotham, though the gayest town in the world, is still the cleanest!

State Visiting Nurses
 Honor Mrs. J. s. TufeL

New Haven, Oct. 31-Miss Marion H. Douglas, executive director of the Hartford Visiting Nurse Association, was reelected as president of the Connecticut Tuberculosis Associa- tion, was reelected as president of the Connecticut Tuberlosis Associa- tion at its annual meeting here last night A prominent authority on public health nursing, Miss Douglas has served on several national boards and committees, was for mer president of the Connecticut State Nurses Association, repre- sentative on the War Council for Nursing Services, and has done specialized tuberculosis work in New York City.

sands suffered needlessly. It took years to overcome the setback.
 During World War II unprece- dented progress was made. In 1914, while our armies were still fight ing the fascist scum, the VD rate was the lowest in modern Ameri- can history. Right after V-J Day history began its tragic repetition. Syphilis and gonorrhea infections began to spread. Rates shot up- ward. Outstanding public health officers such as former New York City Health Commissioner Ernest Stebbins began to warn of the danger of new epidemic.
 Like war, VD threatens all peo- pie. Like war, it has social ori- gins and can't be stopped by medi- cal and public health activities alone. Science know the cause. Science knows the cure. But ignor- ance, lack. of public understanding of the whole question of social hygiene, stands in the path of prog ress.
 Prostitution is an important source of venereal disease infec- tion. Prostitution is banned by law in most states of this country but the exploitation of American women, most of them young, still flourishes shamefully in our coun- try. Here is another paradox oi war and peace. During wartime this most vicious racket was rigtdly suppressed. Not in the interests ot clean living-as it should be-but because commercialized vice was an obstacle to our war effort.
 Now, only year after V-J Day organized vice is creeping back Only the housing shortage, which makes it hard for the traffickers in women to find facilities fo1 brothels, keeps many towns from going wide open" all over again
 I have documented information about what is happening in this racket. I have the names of Ameri- can cities where law enforcement officers are keeping their eye: closed. Where racketeers are talk ing thetowns over and respectable citizens, who try to invoke police action, get their knuckles rappec instead of their shoulders patted.
 I am not going to name those cities now But I suggest th1I to Wheeling, West Virginia; Gal weston, Texas, and Gary, Indiana newspapers: Assigne your reporter! to the story of vice in your towns if you want to break the biggest story of the year. Authorities ir your towns truculently refuse tt take any action against prostitu' ton. They tolerate the worst kint of commercialized vice in the fact of public opinion and in defianct of the laws they are under oatf to enforce.
 Their alibi is ancient and refute<
 by history. That suppression 0 prostitution is impractical; tha
 suppression promotes VD becaus traffic shifts from women inspect ed for disease to amateurs ire from inspection <. Attention, en forcement officers in Wheeling Galveston and Gary: Public healtl records show that your alibi vii

NEYS SAY LEWIS IN
CONTEMPT FOR NOT
HALTINC STRIKE
(By The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-At-
torneys for John L. Lewis and
for the United Mine Workers of
America, contended in federal
court this morning, before Judge
Goldsborough, that neither Lewis
nor his union was in contempt of
court.
They pointed out that Lewis
had made no statement in full
and complete difference to the
courts ORDER since November
IS, when he notified j. A. Krug,
Secretary of the Department of
Interior, that the governments
contract with the miners would
expire at midnight on November
20.
The attorneys also stated that
their clients denied the jurisdic-
ton of federal court here to try
the case.
AS matters now stand, Lewis
probably will be placed on trial
Wednesday morning, beginning
at 10 o'clock. Judge GoldsbOrough
stated that at that time he would
render his decision as to the jur-
isdiction of his court in the case
and also whether or not Lewis
is in contempt. If the court de-
cides against Lewis, he will then
be placed on trial.
Attorneys for the government
argued that Lewis was in con-
tempt for his failure to halt the
strike.
Judge Goldsborough stated
that proce lure matters
were novel and that he had no
precedent on which to base the
case.
Meanwhile, it was estimated
that 100000 men, including
the 100000 miners, are out of
work because of the strike.
Railroad executives announced
today that they had cut down
operations Is per cent to CON
serve coal, and steel company Of
ficials said that by the end Of
this week their operations would
be decreased 25 per cent.
The 100000 now out of work,
it was explained, will be in
creased daily, due to layoffs in
many industries, until the strike
is settled.
