The District Medical Society
last night disclosed plans for a
voluntary prepaid medical care
system whereby subscriber-pa-
tients in hospitals could meet
doctors bills for some surgical
and obstetrical services.
Briefly, the plan provides for pay
ment by the subscriber of a fixed
monthly sum into a pool, from
which the doctor would receive a
fixed fee. 1t is further provided
that in case the patients ability to
pay is considered sufficient, the doc
tor would be permitted to charge
and collect an extra amount from
the patient.
The dues expected from subscrib-
ers were revealed, but not the fees
which the doctors expect to obtain.

BY the Assoeiofed Press

CAIRO, Mar. 2.-The Arab
League today told the British
American committee inquiring
into the Jewish problem in Pal
estine that Palestine in Jewish
hands would be the center of
conflicts and international in
trigues and religious strife"
The league asserted that Zion
ism will never be able to stand
alone on its own feet in Palestine. :"
To-day, the Arabs are faced with
a grave danger which might compel
them to offer maximum sacrifices" Z"
the league said in a memorandum
to the committee, under no cir
cumstances will they accept that
control over their country be trans
ferred from their hands to those of
people who threaten not only the
existence of Arabs in Palestine but
also that Of the whole Arab
world"
UNO Contribution Welcomed.
Abdel Rahman Azzam Pasha,
league secretary general, told the
committee, sitting in Mena house
at the base of Egypt's ancient pyra-
mids. that the Jews were "our BROTH
ers" and "our cousins" but "un-
fortunately many of our brothers
have gone to the west and returned
something else again: Polish Jews,
English Jews and other European
Jews. And the Jew is coming back
with reactionary or revolutionary
ideas, aided by British backing,
American pressure and terrorism. +"
Azzam Pasha said any United Ma
tions Organization plans for solv-
ing the Palestine question would be
welcomed, but that "zionists, Boil
shevik or imperialistic capital will
always be suspected"

Last night was the first time in
more than four years when the
association entertained a President
who was not under the stress and
strain of war conditions. Although
the dinners were continued through
the years of strife, the soberness of

the wearing of formal dress.

Republicans Consider
Brown and Reece as
Possible Chairman
Both House Members
Strongly Urged os
BrowneII's Successor
By Gould Lincoln

Representative Brown OF Ohio
and Representative Reece of
Tennessee, both members of the
Republican National Committee,
are being seriously considered
for the Craftsmanship of the
committee, it was learned last
night.
While not announced candidates
both have been strongly urged by
Republican leaders to permit their
names to be considered. Crystaliza-
ton of sentiment is expected within
a week and friends of both say
there will be no contest between
them, but agreement will be reached
on one or the other.
Republican leaders feel the COM
mittee should elect a man to sue
ceed Herbert Brownell, jr., of New
York, who is familiar with the
issues involved in the coming con-
gressional campaign and one who
has personal knowledge cf the can
didates for the House and Senate
Mr.. Brownell is resigning the chair
manship effective April l.
A third member of the House.
Representative Halleck of Indiana,
although not member of the Ma
tional Committee, has been men
toned as a possible successor to
Mr.. Brownell. However, it is re-
ported that Mr.. Halleck, who is
chairman of the Republican Con-
greSsional Committee, is not in
terested. 1t is possible the Repub-
licans of Indiana may call on him
to enter the senatorial race this
fall.
Leave From House Essential.
Either Mr.. Brown or Mr.. Reece
if chosen as the new chairman,
would be expected to request leave
of absence from the House from
April until the election in Novem-
ber. If Congress is able to finish its
work and adjourn by July l, a long
leave of absence would not be in
volved. The Craftsmanship of the
committee is full-time job, but
neither Mr.. Brown nor Mr.. Reece is
said to want to resign from the
House in order to take it. Both
come from congressional districts
in which they anticipate little
trouble being reelected next fall.
While Mr.. Brown is from a State
which is expected to have at least
two candidates for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1913
former Gov. Bricker and Senator
Taft--it is said that fact should not
initiate against his candidacy for
the national Craftsmanship, since
the campaign this year centers en-
tirely on congressional elections.

that the Republican organization
confine itself entirely to electing a

Reds Have Big Army

Munchurions Feel Soviet

By Richard Cushing,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
DAIREN. Manchuria, Feb. 26
Delayed. This port city of
Manchuria, occupied by Red
Army troops, is considered by
the Russians as their own per-
sonal property for the moment.
From all indications, they are
in a forceful condition to stay.
Full dress Red Army maneuvers
are being held over extensive areas
of the rolling country to the north
Of Dairen.
Dairen civilians feel strongly that,
while the Reds may leave other
parts of Manchuria in return for
certain economic concessions, they
will not evacuate Dairen at any
price.
The Russians have built tremen-
dous military strength in Dairen,
80 miles from the big naval base at
Port Arthur and clearly are seen to
be taking strong hold here.
Close Surveillance.
Official Soviet secret police are
keeping foreigners under close sur
veillance.
Huge quantities of industrial ma
chinery, I have been informed re-
liably, have been taken from Man
churian factories as booty of the
to Vladivostok. I was told that 80
Russians To-day war and shipped
per cent of the equipment of the
Anshan steelworks between Dairen
and Mukden was put aboard 80
freighters which sailed for Vladivos-
tok in a convoy last year.
Tn a broadcast from Tientsin,
China, monitored in San Fran
cisco by the American Broad
casting Co., Frederick B. Opper of

were Liberty ships lend-leased
to Russia by the United States.

Big Batteries Seen.
AS we neared Dairen we could
see. on either side, fully equipped
soldiers crawling across fields on
their bellies in mock battle rows
Rows of surprisingly big antiaircraft
batteries were being placed in stra-
tegic spots.
Some Soviet planes are based !

.'World Fellowship in the Atom
ic Age" was the subject OF a talk
by Rev. Walter B. Freed to the
fall membership meeting o. the
Young Women's Christian assocl-
alton at the YWCA on Thursday
evening. Rev. Freed called atten-
ton to the fact that the three
greatest discoveries OF mankind,
fire, gunpowder, and atomic ener-
ay. have been destructive forces,
but which, rightly used, further
the welfare Of mankind. He said
that the atomic is neither good
nor bad, but that mans use OF
1t determines its power.
Mr.. Freed poineG. out that
science has made great strides
with inventions n industrial
progress, but that spiritual values
have Jagged and that human en-
g~ineering needs to catch up. New
Testament, or Christian motives,
determine whether science is a
blessing Or a curse" Rev. Freed
declared. "a knife IN the hand
can be used to kill, or else to
cure disease depending upon the
will of the person who holds it,
He urged that Christians over
come the barriers of class, race,
nationality, geography, economy,
language, and customs, and that
zone world" begins with each in
dividual. Each person must have
right motives and friendship for
all others.
Miss Harriette Cochran, Bible
teacher in the high school, gave
an inspiring devotional based on
the brotherhood Of mankind.
