u. 5. Medical Supplies
Deferiorate in Greece
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Sept. 13.-Dr. Oswald
F. Hedley, director Of the American
aid missions public health division,
said today considerable amount
of medical supplies in three ware
houses in and near Athens was de-
teriorating because of inadequate
storage facilities and natural aging.
DR.. Hedley said it was difficult to
determine the proportion Of the
supplies which had deteriorated.
Between $4,50O,000 and $4,000, 900
worth had been brought to Greece
during the past two years under
UNRRA.
He said failure to distribute drugs
for immediate use allowed much
Of the supplies to become ineffec-
tive, and that there was also de-
terioration in such medical equip
ment as X-ray machines and re-
frigerators.
Dr. Hedley said there was an in
determinate amount Of other medi-
cal supplies In other warehouses in
villages throughout Greece in which
many items exist in such large
quantities it would require years
for their consumption"
The aid mission has requested
the Greek government to make an
inventory OF such supplies and sug-
gested that some be disposed of
through trade channels at fair
prices. The mission also asked the
safe storage Of the remainder.

Police said the young American
rabbi showed no signs of ending his
hunger strike and that his condi-

complaining of an ailing heart.
Rabbi Korff was arrested last
Saturday night at an airport near
Paris after police were informed by
Reginald Gilbert, young American
pilot, that the rabbi planned one
airplane operation over the British
capital. He has not touched food
since his arrest.
Brought before Magistrate Fer

questioning, he protested again that
he was innocent of plotting to dror
the leaflets on London. He said
Mr.. Gilbert was to drop the leanetS
and that he was going along merely
for the experience. explaining that
he was piling up flying hours pre-
paratory to his plan to parachute
into Palestine.
Rabbi Korff was urged by two
groups of rabbis, American and
French, to end his fast.
He said he received a message
from the Federation of Orthodox
Rabbits of America saying that a
special meeting unanimously urged
him to stop fasting in accordance
with the tenets of his faith. A

 President Truman's proposal for amendment of the law of PreSiden- tial succession is very much to his credit. Under the present law, if a vacancy occurs in the Presidency when there is no vice president, the secretary of state becomes chief executive. The secretary of state is appointed by the President. Truman argues it is wrong to have system under which President can select his successor and sug- gestS that the speaker of the House hOuld be the No. 1 replacement for the White House when there is no vice president. The fact that the President is a Democrat and the present speaker is a Republican shows there is no thought of par tisan advantage in the Truman recommendation
 Universal military training is one of the most vital issues before the American people today. Adop- tion of such system would mean a radical departure from policies of the past. But if this country learned anything from its experi- ence in two world wars, it must realize that a policy of unprepar- ednesS is the most dangerous and most costly that can be followed. Twice, the United States has had time to arm. When the next war comes, either this nation will be ready to defend itself or it will be doomed. As General Kenney warns, We are number one prior ity on the list of objectives which the next Hitler will hand to his boss gunmen."
 "Universal military training says Secretary of War Patterson, lis important to national defense because it would CD give the nat ton reservoir of trained men. and @ provide a way to recruit men for the National Guard, upon which we are going to have to rely heavily" The logic of that is ap- parent.

Negro Unionisfs
Win Court Test

Washington (LPA)--A tempor-
airy court order stopping the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Firemen a
Enginemen-unaffiliated from con-
tinuing allegedly discriminatory
practices against Negro firemen
has been obtained in U. S. District
court here.
Attorneys for 81 Negro firemen,
who contended that the Brother
hoods policies made them and
"1200 others similarly situated" in
eligible for promotion on two
southeastern railroads, obtained
preliminary injunction against the
union.
In granting the injunction, the
court ruled that the case did not
involve any question of social
equality but whether a faithful
employe who has earned a place
for himself may be stripped of his
means of livelihood by his own
bargaining agent" Under a 1941
agreement with the railroads, the
Negro firemen contended, they
were listed as mon -promotable,"
while white firemen were rated
"promotable." The suit claimed
that this disqualifies Negroes from
jobs as engineers and positions on
better paid runs.
