Lack Of Funds periIs
IVA Medical Activity.
|Dr. HawIey Says
BY George Beyeridas

Dr.. Paul r. Hawley, Veterans Ad-
ministration medical chief, today de-
clared that until Congress grants a
deficiency appropriation the agency
is without funds to carry on medical
activities.
DR.. Hawley and his medical aides
participated in panel discussion Of
veterans hospitals at the opening
session of q four-day American
Legion Conference on Veterans Re-
Mobilization at the Hotel statler.
The financial question arose when
DR.. Hawley told 500 conference dele
gates that future. activities depend
|on a deficiency grant to carry the
Veterans Administration through
this June.
Out Of Money Now.
Frankly, we're out of money right
now he declared.
The medical chief explained that
rapid mobilization OF the armed
forces primarily was responsible for
sthe medical divisions funds running
out.
I'VE filed our budget estimates for
this year as long ago as V-J day.
DR.. Hawley said, based on the de-
mobilization planned at that time.
But public sentiment forced de-
mobilization of lot of men we
would not have had on our hands
until next year under the original
estimates"
DR.. Hawley. said there were two
principal questions that will affect
medical service to veterans in the
immediate future:
First, whether the deficiency re-
quest will be passed. Second, wheth-
er our budget for next year will be
tremendously cut"
Personnel Shortage Cited.
After DR.. Hawley told delegates the
agency will put emergency cases in
private hospitals contracted to the
Veterans Administration, William
R. McCauley, a Legion official of
Olney, ILL.,, said that veterans hos
pitfalls would have plenty of beds if
the agency had been farsighted four
or five years ago.
well, new hospital beds are no
good unless we have doctors to 70
with them,9 DR.. Hawley replied. He
referred to his frequent statements
about the current shortage OF medi-
cal personnel.
Later today F. H. Dryden, veter-
ans Administration construction
chief, will discuss the agencys new
hospital program. H. v. Stirling,
education director Of the agency,
also will participate in a discussion
Of veterans education and training.

PedcSCrlanS passing the Franklin
School Building now are reminded
of an experiment by Alexander
Graham Bell which found practical
application In wartime military
communications.
A plaque commemorating the first
successful wireless transmission Of
|voice-by using q beam Of light-was
unveiled yesterday. Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, president Of the
Board of Education. dedicated the
marker In one of number Of cere-
monies marking the 100th ami
versary Of the inventors birth.
The plaque, affixed to the front Of
the building, notes that light
beam carried a human voice from
the roof of the structure to Bells
laboratory at 1925 L street NV,
June s. 1880. The apparatus used
was a photophone. a Bell invention.
Employing infra-red rays instead Of
sunlight, it found wartime useful
ness for line-of sight communica-
ton.
In dedicating the plaque Mrs.
Doyle noted Bells wish that his in.
ventions better the lot of mankind.
She accepted the marker from G. G..
Coleman, president Of Alexander
Graham Bell Chapter, Telephone
Pioneers of America.
Mr.. Coleman related the story of
the experiment as written by Bell:
While I was observing Mr..
Tainter (Sumner Tainter, Wash
ington optical instrument maker)
on the top Of the school house, al
most blinded by the light that was
coming in at the window of my
laboratory and vainly trying to
understand the gestures he was
making to me at that great distance,
the thought occurred to me of
listening to the telephone connected
with the receiver Mr.. Tainter saw

Hitler completed his Army service.
"Since then, we've lived In two
different furnished rooms and have
subleased two or three other places,
but have had to get out after q few
months" Mr.. Hitler said yesterday.

LEv|ES NEEDED
TO MAINTAIN SCHOOLS

The levies that m to be voted on at this school election are
essential to the welfare Of public education in Silver Bow coun-
ty. Should the taxpayers turn down these levies they will
leave the schools in a deplorable condition, inasmuch as there
are rot sufficient funds to meet the increase in salaries for
teachers and the increased maintenance expenses necessary to
carry en- the schools for the next school year. Butte has been
very fortunate in the past in not having to vote for additional
leNicS for school purposes inaSnuch as the educational systems
have been carried on within the millage allowed by Law. Butte
is about the only city in the state of Montana that has been
in this cnNablr condition. az almost every city in the state Of
Montana has been compelled to increase the milage. some as
high as ninetN mills. TO carry on school activities. When YOU
consider this proposal. the people Of Butte who want the best
in teachers and education for their children must know that
they have to pax for the same.

Jap Surgeon on Trial
In Tests on Prisoners
Nv the As.oeiofsd Press

GUAM, June 11.--A nervous little
Japanese fleet surgeon charged with
using American prisoners for inhu-
man medical experiments went on
trial before military commission
yesterday with 10 subordinates ac-
cused of spearing, strangling' and
beheading 10 Of their captives.
Capt. Hiroshi Iwananni, who al
legedly ordered prisoners injected
with virulent bacteria on the island
of Truk, squirmed and licked his lips
as the charges were read.
After this preliminary was COM
pleted, the commission recessed un-
til June "a to give Japanese defense
counsel from Tokyo time to prepare
their case.
The United States Navy. which is
conducting the trial, charges that
bacterial injections killed four
American prisoners. Experiments
with tourniquets took the lives of
two men, the charges state, and two
who survived were injected with
morphine. When that did not kill
them, they were strangled. the
prosecution asserts.
Two other Americans allegedly
were strung up like football dunn
