'B0JANGLE5' DANCE IN Street
TO AID CANCER DRIVE

NEW YORK, Apr. 9-Bill (Bo-
jangles) Robinson did his famous
time step in Times Square, and
with the magic of rhythm turned
the area into a giant collection box
for the $12,00O,O0O campaign to
fight cancer. The celebrated Robin
son feet were doing their part for
the drive and toward dedication of
the 40 foot red, white and blue
pylon which will serve as contribu-
tion center in the square all dur
ing April, cancer control month.
Robinson, CT, appeared first on
the platform halfway up the py-
lon and announced he would dance
around the square if the throngs
watching would "rain money down
in the streets" He said, 81 feel like
dancing, but you must throw me
pelnty of money"

NO DRAFT, PAY
hike PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, Apr. 9-Chair-
man Carl Vinson (Dem., Ga.) of
the house naval affairs committee
today introduced a bill to suspend
the draft for six months in favor
of high-pay recruiting drive,
despite Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's stern warning that anti
conscription legislators were "gam-
bling" with the national security.
Vinson, one of the most influen-
tial members of the lower house,
voiced growing sentiment on
both sides of the capitol against
outright extension of the selective
service law beyond it's May Is ex-
piration date.
His bill proposes that the status
of conscription be frozen from May
Is to Nov. Is, during which time
the armed forces would conduct an
intensive recruiting drive to bring
in volunteers at pay rates averag-
ing 80 to 100 per cent over the
present scales.
eff, by the end of that period,
the required numbers of enlisted
personnel have not been obtained" J"
Vinson told the house, "the bill
provides that the President shall
declare that a national emergency
exists, and shall invoke the draft
for one year until Nov. Is, 1947.
His bill was introduced a few
hours after Eisenhower went be-
fore the senate military affairs
committee in last-minute bid to
win support for the extension
which President Truman has called
the keystone of his national secu
rity program.
WILSON'S measure also proposed
giving the Army an additiona
$3,O00,000 to conduct the recruit
ing campaign.
1t would raise the base pay of {
private from $50 to $100 month
with a graduated scale of increases

ranks. The smallest boost would
be 80 per cent for master SER

 Perhaps. But not without some lingering regrets.
 Some Allied occupation officials Shrug off the fact with an, "It's only natural" Here are some req sons why:
 l. The bitter contrast between the days of Fascist glory and Italy's present subjection.
 2. Disappointment over the AL lies failure, as the Italians regard it, to fulfill promises they believe were explicit or implicit in proga- ganda preceding Italy's surrender.
 3. Humiliation over the recent ly published terms of the secret armistice signed at Malta in Sep tember, 1943, which gave the AL lies far more complete control than most Italians realized.

Mussolini's territorial conquests but also of some areas today'S generations always thought of as Italian.
 5. A faint nostalgia for the pomp and circumstance of Musso- lini.
 6. The uncomfortable hardships and privations," in Prime Minis ter Parri's phrase, that wars dew astation, short crops, lack of fuel and soaring black market prices impose.
 The Good Old Days
 To state the fact that the era of the dictatorship is coming to be, by comparison with the present, "the good old days" for many Italain foes of Fascism and friends of democracy are not counted in the hundreds of thousands.
 It is merely to say that an emp ty stomach tends to blur ideologi- cal istinctions-never too sharp, at best, to the great mass of Ital- ians.
 A thoughtful Italian journalist, Mario Vinciguerra of the indepen- dent morning paper Giornale del Mattino, recently retold the myth ological story of the death of Her clues-how, having slain the cen taur Nessus, he was persuaded to don his victims blood stained coat by assurances that it would pro- tect him against harm, and promptly died of contact with the poisoned blood.
 Fascism's Legacy
 Fascism has left it's own "black bloody, filthy shirt to an ingenu- ous Italy," Vinciguerra said. "She has not destroyed the black shirt: she has put it away in a corner of the wardrobe and now, rummag- ing among her rags she looks at it hesitant and embarrassed, saying, Can it really be true that it will deliver me from my woes'?"
 Liberty Vs. Food
 "At least" as one middle-class Italian said, "there was order and, thought there was no liberty, most of us ate"
 Another spoke of the Italian youngsters who, under Mussolini, wore uniforms and marched and counter-marched in mock war fare. "They thought, then, that they didn't like it. But now, they miss it." he said. We've given them nothing to take the place of the panoply of Fascism."
 Allied officers, freely admitting the existence of the problem, say frankly that they do not know its solution.

Objections Cited.
The renort contained only oy

The report contained only one dis
senting opinion. That was the one
voiced by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Ufford,
who for many years has been promi-
nent in social welfare work. She
objected to the establishment OF a
special division Of the Council of
Social Agencies as an unnecessary
expense. She also contended that,
before the new Home for the Aged
and Infirm is built, a careful study
should be made of a plan which has
been suggested by the Health De-
partment for a special building on
the Gallinger Hospital grounds for
the bed-ridden aged, where they
could have the advantages of equip
ment and staff of Gallinger and
would not have a depressing effect
on more active aged.
She also advocated that the Board
of Public Welfare change it's policy
Of not giving old-age allowance to
inmates OF Blue Plains or private
institutions SO they could have a
little spending money. She urged
that a strong plea be made to Con-
gress for appropriations for aged
rather than more private care.
The committee which made the
report was headed by the Rt. Rev.
Angus Dun, Bishop Of Washington.
Mrs. Henry Gichner was vice chair
man and Theodore M. Wilcox

Protesting their principals refusal
yesterday to let q few precocious

blouses outside their skirts instead
of tucked in, about one-third of the

the most outlandish clothing they
could find.
The girls were clad in mems shirts,
pajama tops or blouses, all with
sfirttails flying. For good measure
some of them wore the sloppiest
skirts they had in the house. Not
to be outdone, the boys wore faded
dungarees and corduroys, complete
with tennis shoes or slippers. The

to tuck their shirts in. Ladies just
don't go around like that, you know.
The rebels spread the word in
the school corridors that it would
be a good idea to make today
"crumb day." and dressed to suit
the occasion. About 800 students
thought it was fine idea, with the
resultant sartorial horrors today.
Mrs Cookery viewed the spectacle
good-naturedly. "I'll let them get

LISA 10 Consider Move
10 Revamp AgeneY's
Work With Hospitals
By Harold B. Rogers

Health Security Administration,
a private agency operating hos
Ipital admissions bureau for the sick
poor, soon will consider the proposal
to set up a joint committee with the
new Hospital Council of the Metro
politan Area to work out the health
agency's future.
Center of q spirited controversy,
Health Security Administration had
been scored as ''misfit" in the local
hospital picture but recently was
defended as an organization which
could serve a useful purpose If its
setup were changed.
Improvement in relations between
the administration and hospitals,
where there had been some fric-
ton, will be attempted when the
health agency's Executive Commit
tee considers plans early next week
to join with the Hospital Council
In committee TO work out its new
|place in the community.
Approved by Delegate Body.
The step will be in line with a
recommendation approved unani-
mously late yesterday by the dele
gate body of the Metropolitan
Health Council. The recommends
ton was part of a new blueprint
for the Health Security Admins
tration laid down by the Survey
Committee of the Health Council.
The Survey Committees report
was presented In person by Vice
Admiral Ross T. McIntire, surgeon
general of the Navy. 1t previously
had been approved by the Health
Councils co-ordinating board, with
minor amendments.
In adopting the McIntire report,
the co-ordinating board of the
Health Council said there was a
need for an agency of the type of
HSA in this Metropolitan Area" IT
foresaw further services which
HSA may perform on behalf of the
hospitals and the community"
Sharp criticism Of Health Security
Administration as a "misfit" came
last June from a board Of three
experts from outside Washington,
who analyzed the health and, hos
pital facilities of the Metropolitan
Area. The McIntire Survey Com
mittee made several recommends
tions for the agency's revision.
The new Hospital Council of the
National Capital, Area should be
broadened in its membership to in
clude representatives from the pub
lie. from planning bodies, from
medical and other professions, the
Health Councils delegate body also
said.
Chest Aid Proposed.
The Hospital Council, it also was
proposed, should be underwritten by
the Federation of Community
Chests, and should provide active
leadership in Community Chest
campaigns.
DR.. Herbert P. Ramsey, chair
man Of the Health Council, declared
the aims of the Health Council to
provide more and better health for
the people of the Metropolitan
Area" had been only partly accom-
pIished. More remains to be done,
he said. He called for stronger
financial support of health facilities
In the area, both ofiicial and volun-
tary.
"A substantial budget for the
Health Council itself viii be pre-
scented to the delegate body soon, he
predicted. !.
