Montgomery Meeting
Set on $4,000 Deficit
AT Suburban HOSPITAL
Star Staff Photo.

In an attempt to solve a financial
crisis entailing a record deficit of
more than 100000, officials of Subur-
ban Hospital. Bethesda, will meet
tomorrow with the Montgomery
County commissioners and the coun-
tvs legislative delegation to the
General Assembly.
Arthur 3. Solon, hospital superin-
tendent, said the institution soon
would launch a campaign for funds
but he hopes it can be placed on a
paying basis to do away with the
annual financial crisis.
r. Duncan Clark, a member of the
Legislative delegation, said the meet
ing to discuss the problem will be at
7 pm. tomorrow at Normandie
Farms. 7,.
County Aid Held SKINNY
Mr.. Solon said the hospital has
been running at deficit ever since
it opened four years ago and that
it has been struggling along" with
the AID of private contributions and
"skimpy'' county aid
Last years deficit totaled $4,000
Mr.. Scion said. adding that this was
overcome in part by a campaign in
which Montgomery County residents
contributed $4,000.
Most of the deficit, according to
the superintendent, results from
inadequate county contributions for
the care Of INDECENT patients sent
to the hospital from county welfare
and Community Chest agencies.
Although the present average
cost for all expenses in treating
such patients is $13 per person a
day. Mr.. Scion asserted, the county
contributes only $6 per patient
resulting in loss to the hospital
of 81 day.
Makeup Fifth of Occupants.
He said the number of such
patients constitutes about 20 pei
cent Of the hospitals normal oc-
cupancy of between rs and 80 pei
cent of it's capacity. Other factors
contributing to the institutions
deficit are low group disqualification
and State compensation rates.
Mr.. Solon revealed that the hos.
pital is considering the possibilit,
of increasing it's rates, which nov
are from $40 to $11.50 for private
rooms, $3.50 a day for two-bed ward.
and So for four-bed wards.

Gen. Vandegrift Gets
Honorary Degree al
Mary|andC Convocation

Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift ex-
pressed fear today that the American
opportunity to maintain a just and
fair peace may be lost through
ignorance or disinterest.
| Speaking at the fall convocation
of the University of Maryland, dur
ing which he received an honorary
doctor of laws degree, the Marine
Corps commandant said it is now
clear that victory in World War II
! had failed to make the world safe
for fundamental freedoms, even for
the present"
"It is apparent" Gen. Vandegrift
said, that we did not remove every
source of exploitation and aggres-
sion." :. -
The Marine leader said the post
war situation raises two pertinent
questions:
Are we attempting merely to pre-
serve peace in our time, under
standing full well that deluge will
surely follow?"
And "are we so terrified at the
implications of atomic warfare that
we will settle for any kind of peace
at any price?'
/ He said it is not with the prov
ince of a professional Marine to
provide reaaymade answers but de-
clared Il am convinced that the
American people will not consciously
surrender their present opportunity
to maintain peace that is just and
fair"
He added, however, It am less
firmly convinced that this oppor-
tunity will not be lost through ignor-
ance or disinterest."
In addition to Gen.. Vandegrift
the university honored Paul Saun-
ders, editor of the Southern Planter
with doctor of science degree.

DRAGONS Are oid-Fashioned

D1dkOxkS mic VA0IA
WASHINGTON, July 10 The
great flying disk scare is a curl
u commentary on our times.
Even until ten years ago, the
ancient NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., sea
serpents and their relatives-serv-
ed very well. But now instead OF
cosy, old-eashioned Loeb Ness
monsters, the minds Of men are
haunted by the man-made horrors
Of the age of the absolute wea-
ponS.
The trouble is that the man
made horrors are quite real, quite
imminent possibilities. And so the
scare of the flying disks raises
q perfectly serious question. II
there is to be no peace, what
warning shall we have that our
enemies are preparing war?
Most people assume that this
question takes the rather simple
form: "How shall we know when
the Soviets have an atomic
bomb" Oddly enough, there is a
way of learning of the explosion
of an atomic bomb, even in the
distant f%astness of Siberia. 1t has
already been tested, with our own
bombs at Alamogordo and Hiro-
shima, Nagasaki and Bikini.
AS every n knows, the explo-
sion of an atomic bomb releases
a gigantic cloud Of radioactive
particles, which mushrooms UP
ward into the shakespeare. Here.
in the calmer upper air, the radio
active cloud remains for some
time, until it is gradually dissi-
pated or precipitated. 1t will be
recalled how the Alamogordo
cloud vas by chance partly pre-
cipitated in Mid-Western corn
fields, and ended ty running pho
tographic negatives whose base
was made rom the cornstalks.
Before precipitation can occur,
however, the cloud actually cir
cles the earth, Ike the dustclouds
from the volcanic explosion of
Krakatoa. And it a thus provide
the clue to the explosion of an
atomic bomb anywhere on the
earth's surface.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-07-11
Matter Of Fact
BY Joseph And Stewart Alsop

The presence Of the radioactive
cloud in the upper air is revealed.
Of course, by the newly familiar
Geiger counter, which measures
radio-activity. The heavy hand Of
the security officers has silenced
the government scientists who no
doubt traced the course of the
Alamogordo, Hiroshima, Maya
saki and Bikini bomb clouds. But
there are also amateur physicists
who have their WY Geiger count
ers to keep check on the strength
of the cosmic radiation from in
ter-galactic space, just as farm
ers used TO maintain measured
rain gauges in their backyards for
the enlightment OF the weather
bureau. Their work. has also prov
ed the effe ctiveness of this odd
technique.
For example on July is, 1915,
shortly after the Alamogordo ex-
piosion, Lieutenant Commander
A. R. Coven, U.S.N.R., noticed an
Increase in the normal rate of his
Gelger counter at Annapolis, Md.
The increase continued until July
IL, about sixty hours after EMF
mute at Alamogordc, when it had
almost doubled. The next day ii
returned to normal. Again. in
July, 1916, a couple of days after
the first Bikini explosion, C. Her,
zog noticed a sharp rise in the
rate of the large Geiger counter
on the second floor of his house
in Houston, Tex. BY the following
day, the count had almost dou-
bled, to return to normal by eve
ming Of the next day. Both these
occurances have been reported in
letters to 1.-THE Physical Review
together with oae or two others
of the same sort, and negative
results from amateurs in other
areas over which the clouds did
not pass.
Expert, although unofficial,
opinion gives these remarkable
facts a simple meaning. a really
adequate net of watching stations,
designed TO detect the presence Of
a radioactive cloud in any lati-
tude, will announce the explosion
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-07-11

of an atomic bomb anywhere on
earth. AS usual, since the net
must be extensive, its main
tenance is likely to be expensive.
But this is by no means the
end of the story. Nothing, in the
first place, will prevent a poten-
tai enemy from accommodating
great stores of fashionable mate
rial and great numbers of bombs
before putting his bomb design to
the final test Of detonation-and
it is only the explosion which
makes the cloud. Thus the detec-
ton of an unexplained radio
active cloud in the upper air, if
ard when it comes. is entirely
likely to be a sign that the worst
is Immediately at hand. Inded,
in this age Of lightning attack,
the worst might already have be-
sun to occur. for the maximum
speed Of the clouds on their earth
e%ncircling journey seems to be a
trifling sixty miles per hour.
Against the slight reinsurance
in short, must be balanced new
reasons for disquiet. Diplomatic
reports from Europe describe the
extraordinary frankness of Soviet
diplomats seeking to dissuade ma
tons on the fence from joining
the Paris conference on Secretary
Marshall's plan for European re,
construction. They have warned,
in effect, that in ten years the
Soviet Union will have all the
weapons of total destruction now
possessed by this country, and
that, when this happy time ar
rives, non-cooperators must ex-
rect to suffer.
Nor is this testimony unsupport-
ed by other facts. The Soviet re-
cruiting drive for German and
ether European physicists and en-
gineers has been without parallel
and Soviet orders now overload
the Swiss, Swedish and other Eu.
ropean factories which can pro.
duce the complex apparatus need
ed tor such plants as Hanford and
Oak Ridge. Here, in the evidence
OF an armament ace to produce
weapons of total destruction, is
the raw material of a world night.
mare, which is merely reflected
in the scare of he flying disks.
What is being done to exercise or
minimize this nightmare is still
another vital question.
