and is working out way to do
it. Some new legislation may be
needed, but it is not expected to
meet any opposition in Congress.
The Army's decision to permit
families of all to 60 overseas on
an equal basis is in line with
wishes expressed last year by Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, then com.
mander of the European theatre.
Asked if Mrs. Eisenhower woul
join him in Europe, he said:
f'Until it is possible to establish
policies by which any CT as well
as myself can take advantage, it
would seem to be out of character
at least for me, to seek favored
position"
When it was decided that sol.
diers' dependents would be admit
ted to overseas theatres, includ-
ing Europe and the Pacific, as
accommodations became available
Eisenhower was determined that
the privilege made available
to all ranks. This would be done,
he decided, whether transportation
for them at government expense
was authorized or not.
Present army plans for trans.
portation Of dependents cover the
occupation period.

SERGEANT'S FAMILY
TOLD PROPER MANNER
TO SPEAK TO "TINA"

The family of S-Sgt. S. T. Glover
is learning how to talk TO dogs
that is. foreign dogs.
eHTina'' is a 2-year-old Peklngese
which was brought back by Ser
geant Glover from Europe and has
been missing from her home sew
eral days during which time a
widespread search has been in pro-
gress by friends.
During a telephone conversation
between Sergeant Glover who is in
a Fort Bragg hospital, and his
mother yesterday, the sergeant told
his family not to worry too much
about his dog being lost, that he
will help find her when he gets
home and by the way Nom, if
you see 'Tina'' Chat is the dog $
nance yell at her sorta Like SER
geant would yell at a private.
Sergeant Glover's dog which he
brought from Europe when he re-
turned a short time ago has OBJ
viously not become accustomed to
the kind words to animals used by
Americans. His brother said last
night the members of the family
had been unusually mild and con-
siderate when in the dogs presence
-''but if we do find her, guess we
will have to use some of the SER
geant's technique
Sergeant Glover told his mother
he thought he would be able to
come home today.

VD Clinic Piles Up Work
On UnderstaHed Office
Continued from Page One)

"Penicillin administered at the
proper time and in proper quanti-
ties has also helped to cure many
cases in a short period of time
which would otherwise have taken
weeks and sometimes months, I"
DIR. Elliott said. The drug, properly
administered, will cure the veneral
disease of it's contagious qualities
in three or four days. according to
the officer.
Regarding the early employment
of a medical officer to replace
DIR. Cutter, DR.. Elliott indicated
that the possibility of interns who
are now completing their hospital
work before becoming licensed
doctors, having to work for Uncle
SAM" brings little hope for
immediate relief to the depart
ment's VD clinic operations.
DR.. ]. Roy Hage, state board
of health officer who was in town
recently, advanced the supposition
that the above may pe the reason
new doctors are not available now.
He said that a large number of
the medical students during the
past three years have entered in
situations for medical study under
the sponsorship of the Federal gov.
eminent and are now being used
to fill in the gap caused by medical
corpsmen who are being returned
from occupation zones and who
have sufficient points for discharge.
DR.. Elliott said yesterday that
replies from three hospitals to
which inquiries have been mailed
have netted the department nothing
in the way of a doctor to assist
in tie city-county departmental
work. He expressed the hope that
there may be a chance that some
of the returning doctors will be
available for the position left va.
cant by the withdrawal of DR..
Cutter.
The department has had replies
from the Baptist hospital, Winston
Salem, which works in connection
with Wake Forest medical school,
a hospital with college affiliations
in Louisville, KY. and Duke hospital
and medical school, Durham. All
institutions report they will not
have a medical officer who would
be available for the local work
soon.

or demolished insolong as the Fed
eral Public Housing authority ad-
judges the veteran situation here
as critical.
Meanwhile, however, the joint
city-county board on disposition OF
aforementioned housing, is pre-
pairing a recommendation, soon to
be forwarded to the mayor and the
chairman of the board of New
Hanover county commissioners,
urging the sale of certain other
non-dWelling structures in each OF
the three housing projects.
Meeting Thursday in the offices
Of the Housing Authority of the City
OF Wilmington, the city-county
committee, chairmaned by E. L.
White, made four specific recon.
mendations concerning disposal OF
non-dweiling structures in each of
the federal housing projects here.
The recommendations, to be en-
bodied in a letter to the city and
to New Hanover county, for con-
sideration and transmission to the
FPHA in Atlanta if agreeable with
members of the City council and
the county board OF commission
ers, were:
l. That the Hewes and Worth
community buildings in Maffitt
Village be demolished when their
present occupancy is completed.
Both are now used as community
recreation centers.)
2. That the Vance community
building in Maffitt Village be sold
as a part, OF separately, of the
previously-recommended sale OF
the Vance housing project.
3. That all community, admins
tration and maintenance buildings
Of the Lake Forest project be sold,
together with the houses, to private
owners. Or, as an alternative, that
the Lake Forest community build
ing be sold separately to private
owners, which ever would be of
greatest benefit to the federal
government
4. That the Hillcrest community
building be sold, along with the
projects dwellings, to the Housing
Authority Of the City of Whining
ton.
In December, the Advisory COM
mlttee made its initial recommen-
datlons concerning disposition of
all war housing in this area, Those
recommendations, passed On to the
city and county, were as follows:
All of Maffitt Village, except
300 demountable units, be dec1ar-
ed temporary and demolished and
carted away. This applies to 1892
units.
Remainder OF public war housing
be declared permanent and dis
posed of as follows:
A. The PIG units for Negroes at
Hillcrest be sold to the Wilmington
Housing authority.
B. The 584 masonry units att
Lake Forest be left in place and
sold to private owners.
c. The 300 demountatIe units
at Maffitt Village and the ATS at
Lake Forest be retained on their
present sites, if postwar demand
exists Tor them and that, if retain
ed they be sold to private owners.
