Committee Is Planned
To Follow Up x-Ray
Findings in District

A committee to follow up the find-
ings Of the mass chest X-ray survey
of Washington opening next month
will be sponsored by the Council of
Social Agencies. it was decided yes
terday at meeting of the council
Board of Directors.
The committee, which will be
under the council, but attached also
to the survey organization, will have
twofold purpose. 1t will :
Attempt to supply social work
personnel to aid newly discovered
tuberculosis patients who are not.
able to make plans for themselves,
using whatever community facilities
are available.
Gather material which will aid in
the general planning function of the,
council.
The board was informed the sur
vey of some 100000 persons was ex-
pected to uncover about 5000 cases
Of tuberculosis, 1900 of which would
be advanced cases. Many of the
patients, it was felt, would not be
able to make plans for themselves
and would need guidance.
The committee will include repre-
sentatives from all agencies and pro-
fessional social workers, as we'll as
volunteer social service personnel.
1t was announced at the meeting
that agency workers have raised
more than 95 per cent of their Com
munity Chest campaign quota Of

Loyo|a Will Install
New President Today
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 3.-The Rev.
Francis Xavier Talbot will be in
stalled as the Goth president of the
Jesuit Loyola College today before
200 delegates from 100 colleges and
societies
The academic procession will be
led by the Rev Harold C. Gardiner,
official delegate from Cambridge
University.
Father Talbot was doing historical
research at Georgetown University
when he was appointed president
of Loyola, which was founded in
1852. He is a former editor Of
America, the Jesuit weekly maga-
zine, and the author of several nov
els on North American Jesuits.
The installation address Is to be
delivered by the Very Rev. Martin
Cyril Darcy. provincial of the
Jesuit order in England. Father
Darcy also will accept an honorary
doctor of laws degree for Evelyn
Waugh, the British novelist who
entered the = Catholic Church
through Father Darcy.
Similar degrees will be conferred
on the Right Rev. Thomas J. Nc

committee hasn't committed himself
on the pay-raise question. it seems
likely Mrs. St. Georges measure
will be the one the committee will
act on.
Unofficial polls show the majority
of committee members favor some
sort of pay raise. Conversations
with the members indicate they
won't go for the $1,000 raise advo-
Gated by Chairman LANCER of the
Senate Civil Service Committee. But
the House group members seem re-
ceptive to the type of bill intro
duced by Mrs. st. George.
1t would rescind the pay boost
when prices reached the July, l946,
level, which was the date when Fed
eral workers received their last pay
raise. Since then. according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, living
costs have risen % per cent as OF
September, the latest month for
which figures are available.
The BIS price index stands at

went down to 140-the July, 1946,

withdrawn.

The opinion that the Russians
now have more than four times
as many submarines in service
as the Nazis could muster when
they launched the nearly sue
cessful battle of the Atlantic was
expressed here = yesterday by
Secretary of the Navy Sullivan.
This estimate was given the Pres

stress the Navy's need. under uni

aircraft in addition to carrier types.
The Secretary pointed out Con-
gress has assigned to the Navy the
responsibility for antisubmarine
warfare.
The commission, which will close
more than six weeks of public and
executive hearings tomorrow with
testimony from Secretary Of Defense
Forrestal, was told that Russia re-
inforced a fleet of 200 of her own
submarines at the end of the war
with 10 new German underwater
craft, four Of the latest type.
This latter has the "breather" or
Schnorkel improvement and "the
highest underwater speed developed
to date" the Secretary said. These
and its deep submergence char
acteristics make it extremely valu-
able and extremely difficult to de-
tect and counterattack.
In addition to these operating
submarines, the Russians now con-
troll four large shipbuilding yards
in former German territory, which
built German submarines in World
War II, and at which the most
modern German blueprints are
available. At these yards prefabri-
