Alexandra Jail
Physical Tests
Urged by Court
Judge Duncan Sees
Community Danger
Due to Contogiion

Physical examinations of all per-
sons committed to Jail In Alex
andria Civil and Police Court have
been recommended by Judge James
r. Duncan Of that court.
His recommendation was made
public In letters addressed to the
mayor, City Council members and
the city managers Office.
Judge Duncan pointed out in his
letter that this requirement would,
in my Judgment, be in the interest
|of the health Of jail inmates in par
ticular and the community in gen
|eral." When asked about the object
of the recommendations, Judge
Duncan said if all prisoners were
examined, those infected with dis
ease could be segregated.
Cites Case Of Week Ago.
"only about a week ago." his
letter stated, there was committed
Ia vagrant from South Carolina
whose principal concern seemed to
be whether he was infected with
lice. This defendant Is now in the
jail awaiting sentence and was COM
mitted with the request to the jailor
to see that he was thoroughly de-
loused."
Unless this defendant had COM
planned of the lice, however, prob
ably his condition would have been
undetected and may have spread to
other prisoners, the letter explained.
Judge Duncan added that tuber-
cular inmates can dangerously affect
other prisoners and the condition
of the city as a whole. Frequently
arrested drunks who may contact
germs from diseased prisoners could
easily be the source. of widespread
infection when released, Judge Dun
can explained.
Present Practice.
Under the present practice pris-
oners committed from the Civil and
Police Court of the city to the City
jail do not undergo any physical
examination prior to their admis-
slon," city officials were informed
In fact, the only time have heard
OF any kind of an examination of a
prisoner is when I have reason to
believe or it is strongly suspected
that the defendant might be venere-
ally infected and, if ordered by me,
an examination is made"
His chief concern, he explained
later, was not with inmates who
were venereally affected but with
those who have other highly con-
tagious diseases.
Judge Duncan said he believed
necessary physical examination
could be handled in from one to two
hours by one physician.
When asked about improvements
ordered at the jail yesterday by Cor
poration Court Judge william p.
Woolls, Judge Duncan emphasized
his recommendation only covered
examining of Civil and Police Court
prisoners before they were admitted
to jail.

we have been fortunate to be able to

Miss McBee.
Mr.. Trotman, County Administra-

foods, some of them from stock no

funds made available under Section
6 of the National School Lunch Act.
The purchases he said were made
in line with the Departments two
fold objective of "a providing food
needed locally for balanced lunches
and (2) continuing the extension of
post war outlets for farm products.
In addition to these ~processed
foods the school lunch programs of
Holmes County have received $4,000
pounds Of Irish potatoes during the
current school year. These potatoes
we're purchased by the Department
Of Agriculture in the purse of its

ALLEGATIONS of most of the process

counties in the State, The size of the
allotment were based on the number
of children participating in the sch

counties. The ALLEGATIONS r in adj

Holmes County schools.
Although varying types of lunches
are served in individual schools the

4 millionaire Statesman Whose Passion Is Work
Born in a Sharecropper's
Cabin and Once Drove
Laundry Truck

was building his cotton business,
he toiled from morning to midnight.
An early riser from boyhood, he
arrives punctually at his desk. at
7::30 an, after walking to the de-
partment from his residence near
the Shoreham Hotel. Usually he is
still at his post II or more hours
later. While the rest Of the depart
ment is relaxing in q two-day week
end, he labors on Saturday morn
ing and frequently in the afternoon.
Made Fortune in Cotton
His second passion is an addiction
to accuracy recalling the lines of
w. S. Gilbert: Ellis taste exact for
fiawless fact amounts to a disease"
He has often confounded experts
with detailed knowledge Of their
special fields. Most men are content
with round numbers. Mr.. Clayton's
memory for data runs on to many
decimal points. If the average mind
resembles q carpenters plane, his
intelligence is a machine tool, pre-
else to a minute fraction Of an inch.
He Is said never to trust man who
has once given him an erroneous
statement.
It will not be forgotten that the
Henry James heroes, however naive,
generally react to emergencies with
startling efficiency. To presume that
MIR. Clayton's velvet glove contains
no hand Of steel would be a mistake.
It was scarcely a gentle, perfect
knight who wrested a fortune from
the trickiest and most hazardous
occupation known to man, that OF
cotton merchant. And 1t was Mr..
Clayton who told British officials
blunt1y they had failed In the Ruhr
because they were less interested in
getting out coal than in socializing
Germans mines.
Compliments showered upon him
during a session of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee on June
10 last, when the question of giving
the State Department q second
Undersecretary was under consid-
Grafton. "He Is doing a wonderful
job" exclaimed Secretary Byrnes.

him exceed those Of any man Of my
acquaintance" He was described

sense" and as 'one Of the ablest,

briefcase full of concessions on
tariffs, quotas and exchange restric-
tions. In that case, he expects to
see the world 60 to work again at
its fundamental business OF pro-
ducing and sharing goods and SER
vices.
Without moments preparation,
he could sit for the portrait of one
of those modest, kindly, simple and
soft-spoken Americans whom Henry
James loved to pose against a back
ground of European subtlety and
sophistication. He carries with
easy erectness the weight Of ST
years and o stature Of feet 4
inches. He Is obviously . man ca

pable of finding himself at home
in the greatest company.
His personality is so faultless as
to terrify less exemplary associates.
In seven years of public service he
has never billed the Treasury for
an expense account. He has never
smoked, and was innocent Of the
favor of alcohol until his 5Sth
year, wnen a son-in-law, who
is a physician, prescribed sweet
sherry as a medicine. His gifts of
patience, self-command and COM
posure are almost inhuman.
So far as is known, he has only

II Henry James were searching

over not a few Of its well-born, col

courtly and towering figure. with

profile of an eagle, who was born
in a Mississippi 'sharecropper's
cabin and left school in the eighth
grade to drive q laundry truck.
When establishing his present
Office OF Undersecretary of State
for Economic Affairs, Congress paid
william Lockhart Clayton the honor
OF framing q special act. The de-
partment had been slow to aban-
don a prejudice against soiling Its
hands with trade. It condescended
first to admit economic advisers
In December, 1914. Mr.. Clayton be-
came its pioneer Assistant Secre-
tary for Economic Affairs. On his
behalf and at the entreaty Of then
Secretary of State Byrnes, Congress
last summer created the new post OF
Economic Undersecretary.
An Impressive Figure
It is by way OF personal tribute
to Mr.. Clayton that State is the
only Government department with
two undersecretaries. To avoid
setting precedent. the life of the
Office was restricted to two years
BY statute he is subordinate not
only to Secretary Marshall but to
Robert A. Lovett, who is Under
secretary for the entire department
Mr.. Clayton is the organization's
No. 3 man. During June, in the
absence Of Gen. Marshall and of
Mr.. Lovett's predecessor, Dean
Acheson, he served as Acting Secre-
tary, holding press conferences,
signing official documents and at
tending cabinet meetings.
Mr.. Clayton is one Of a small
group Of men upon whom rests a
fearful responsibility for mankind's
well-being. He recently spear
headed the American campaign at
Geneva to break down commercial
barriers and set up an international
trade organization. No one would
be surprised If he also 1abored be-
hind the scenes to forward the
Marshall plan for European recov-
cry. He hopes to return with .

Polish youth are looking to the

There would be no trouble about
