With 1886 persons attending its
inaugural luncheon, the zena

Sanatorium gained 1875 new mem
bers yesterday-an increase OF 142

nonsectarian sanatorium at Browns

and who presided at the luncheon
held at the Mayfower Hotel.
A vivid account of the work done
at the sanatorium was given by

a member of the Advisory Council
of the Deborah Society. Mr.. Gold
smith related the story of young
student who worked his way through
law school, only to be stricken down
by tuberculosis two days before
his bar examinations. The speaker
told how the student, who was
without funds to pay for the treat
ment his doctors said was neces-
sary, regained his health at the
sanatorium and then revealed tEat
he, himself, was the patient.
I'm telling this to help you
realize that the patients are real,
live human beings, no different
from yourself, except they have a
problem-they want to live" he
declared.
Pointing out that, in addition to
being nonsectarian, the institution
admits only those who cannot afford
to pay for sanatorium care, Mr.
Goldsmith said it was the only in
stitution of its kind in the East.
DR.. Leon Gerber Of this city was
POSTMASTER for the program. which
included talks by DR.. I. Rubin, staff
physician at the sanatorium, and
Mrs. Clara Falk, hospital superin-
tendent. Mrs. Benjamin KasoW

"Not an angel with ideas, but the
the little woman with the pocket
book"
That was the role set for mem
bers of the League of Women Voters
by their first vice president. Mrs
Harold Stone, as they met at Pierce
Hall today to conclude a two-day
conference on international trade.
The group, which is seeking to
awaken interest in world trade, was
encouraged in its efforts by DR.. Mi
chael Heilperin, economist and au-
thor of THE Trade of Nations" who
addressed a dinner session last
night.
DR.. Heilperin asserted that this
country's leadership in world affairs
and maintenance of a high standard
of living at home depend largely on
a radical downward revision OF
United States tariffs.
The role of American women's
organizations is very important in
this area he said. women are the
best spokesmen for American con-
sumers. They have the authority OF
daily, practical experience. A rea-
sonable tariff policy for the United
States may depend on their clear
understanding of these problems
and on their active political support
for the contemplated program"
DR.. Heilperin contended that, be-
cause of protective tariffs, American
consumers now pay far higher
price than necessary for great
variety of goods. Without such pro-
lection, many producers would have
to give new proofs of efficiency and
imagination to meet foreign COM
petition, he asserted.
Internationally" the speaker

continued, "our tariff reduces the
ability of foreign producers to sell
in the American market, cuts the
amount of dollars they can earn and
makes them more dependent on our
loans. This backfires on our own
economy, for the practical limit OF
our sales abroad is set by the dollars
foreign countries can secure through
sales in our markets or through
loans"
The conference, which is bringing
together members from four States
and the District, is one OF nine
slated this fall on international
trade. The opening session featured
panel discussions on the United
Nations machinery for a stable and
prosperous international economy
the position of the United States In
foreign trade, reciprocal trade
agreements and trade in the emer-
gency postwar period.
Participating were Mrs. Parke
Engle of Arlington, Mrs. Carson
Duncan of the District, Mrs. Morris
Fussell of Swarthmore, Pa, ano
Mrs. Francis Russell of Glen Echo
Md. Mrs. John F. Thomas, District
League president, and Mrs. Olive
