Emergency at Glenn Dole

The situation in which the District f1ndS
Itself with respect to disqualification OF
tuberculosis victims is most deploraole.
Having recently completed mass X-ray
survey of the citys inhabitants, District
health officials now are confronted with
the shocking fact that more than
hundred persons afflicted with the disease
are being deprived of urgently needed care
by the inadequacy of District facilities.
According to health authorities, short
age of physicians at the Glenn Dale SAM
torium not only is keeping the $50 patients
there from receiving the kind Of treat
ment they should have but is preventing
the municipal institution from admitting
81 more patients. This additional number
could be accommodated readily If there
were enough doctors to care for them. OF
the 110 tubercular citizens on the hospi-
tails waiting list, more than half are
described as in critical condition.
The Glenn Dale problem does not arise
from any shortage of medical talent IN
the Washington area. 1t is said 10 De tne
result of the reluctance of physicians 10
accept employment at the sanltorlum.
The reason for this reluctance Is not naro
to find. Although Glenn Dale is ABOUT
fifteen miles from the heart OF the. city, II
has no living quarters for doctors. Mem
bers of the professional staff must take
their chances on finding rooms near the
Notwithstanding that is not easy to
door must commute daily between Glenn
Dale and Washington. 1t is largely be-
cause of this unsatisfactory situation, om-
cials point out, that the medical stan
is at only one-third its authorized
strength. This means that each OF the
five doctors now on duty Zone OF whom
Is leaving shortly has to look after more
than a hundred patients. This response
bility is more than any doctor snoulo pe
required to assume. 1t is load that Is
unfair to the staff and unfair to the
patients.
There is hope of relief in year or two,
thanks to an appropriation for erection
of living quarters at Glenn Dale. Plans
for the building are being drawn. But
the unfortunate TB sufferers cannot wait
for year or two. They need treatment
now-for the sake of their own health
and that of the community. Under these
circumstances, some stopgap way should
be found to increase the medical STAN at
Glenn Dale Perhaps temporary war sur
plus housing could be erected on the reser-
vation until permanent facilities are avail
able. 1t might be that the Public Health
Service could assist in bringing the staff
to full capacity, If even on temporary
loan basis. 1t is apparent that an emer-
gency exists at Glenn Dale that calls for
emergency consideration by public health
authorities and by the medical profession
as a whole

Our Presidents and Science

In celebration of the first centenary OF
the American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, the Library of Congress
has on exhibition an interesting collection
of material illustrating the theme: Our
Presidents and Science" The display in
cludes 112 individual pieces" No Chief
Executive is represented by fewer than two
items, and some have as many as ten In
the show The list naturally opens with
George Washington, surveyor and syste-
matte farmer and orchardist, whose manu-
script map of his land on Little Hunting
Creek, drawn in 1766, proves his right to
remembrance as practical geographer,
and whose published correspondence on
agricultural and horticultural subjects still
is worth reading by persons concerned with
agrarian progress.
Thomas Jefferson also was an enthusiast
for the improvement of crops and fruits.
The Library calls attention to his meteoro-
logical notebook, carefully compiled at
Monticello during A years of regular day.

hibited is his monograph on an extinct
giant sloth, read to the American Philo-
sophical Society in 1797-the first Ameri-

tific work of John Quincy Adams, probably
the greatest scholar ever to achieve the

Smithson for the Smithsonian Institution
1t also is indebted to him for his monu-

The Library display features William
Henry Harrisons Discourse on the Abo-
rigines of the Valley Of the Ohio" which
it labels "the first contribution to the
archaeology of the interior of the conti-
nent";; Theodore Roosevelts Through the
Brazilian wilderness" as an example OF his
labors as a naturalist, and Herbert Hoover's

an engineer and winner of the John Fritz

OF course, the word science" is some
what rigidly defined by the Library. If the
term we're broadly understood to mean
"systematized knowledge as contrasted
with ignorance or misunderstanding"
every President was a scientist and the
exhibition might be expanded tremen-

Johnson was "eager to acquire learning"
and with the help of his wife made himself
master of considerable realm of facts.

until the END of November, merits the

What Next in Indonesiu?

The apparent breakup of the Communist
rebellion in the IndoneSian Republic Of
fers at least possibility of constructive
settlement covering the entire area of the
former Netherlands Indies.
If the Republics official reports are to
be trusted, organized resistance by the
rebels has been broken, and the leaders
have fled into the mountains, where the
reorganized Government troops should be
able either to contain them or eliminate
them shortly.
This test of strength should logically
produce a tWofold effect within the Re
public. In the first place, it confirms the
authority of the regime headed by Mo-
hammed Hatta and other relatively mod
crate elements. In the second place, the
removal of the Communist element from
the political picture gives the Hatta Gov
ernment greater freedom of action IN
negotiations with the Dutch and those
other native regimes in other parts OF
Indonesia who have come to terms with
the Dutch on the basis of United States
of Indonesia.
To comprehend the overall situation in
the Indies, it should not be forgotten that
these other native regimes are going con-
Germs. The self-styled Republic of Indo-
nesia controls only the central part of the
island of Java, plus certain districts in
Sumatra And those other regimes are
going ahead with plans for setting up the
United States of Indonesia, in friendly
relations with the Dutch, by January /,
1949
This means that the Republic confined
virtually to central Java, alone remains
out Of step. That should be strong in
centive to the Hatta Government to get
in line What has prevented any settle
ment with the Dutch has been the in
fuence of the Communists and other kin
dred radical elements, who have sabotaged
any attempt at agreement. The Com
munist rebellion was a supreme attempt
to perpetuate the feud with the Dutch and
prolong the strife and economic chaos on
which communism thrives If the rebels
had seized power, any agreement with the
Dutch would have been impossible. In
deed, another Dutch police action" would
have become imperative, since a Com
munist state in Java would have been
intolerable for both the Dutch and the
other nom Communist native regimes In
the Indies, But that danger has been

The Series Comes to Life

That game yesterday was not so good
for the Cleveland Indians, but 1t was a
good thing for baseball. Until the hits
began to rattle off the bats of both teams,
but especially of those of the Boston
Braves, the interest of the fans had begun
to show signs Of collapse. Good pitching
is admirable, OF course, but the better the
pitching the less the action. And 1t had
begun to look as though the l948 World
Series would 60 down on the record books
as a long-drawn-out pitchers duel, with
a minimum of slugging and base running.
The stage was perfectly set yesterday for
a climactic pitching exhibition, with
Cleveland's Bobby Feller matched against
Boston's Potter, but something went wrong
with both Feller and Potter. The
Braves bats began to connect with Bobby'S
fast ball and the Indians jumped on Pot
ter. The action was on. In that seventh
inning the boys from Boston really opened
up and before the uprising was quelled by
a succession of Cleveland pitchers, includ-
ing Satchel Paige in his first World Series
appearance, six big runs were across the
plate and the great but not always in
vincible Feller was under the showers
The final 11-to-5 score tells the story, ex-
cept for the relief-pitching role of Warren
SPAIN, who proved to be magnificent in
the pinches. as when, after letting Boud-
reau double in the eighth. he struck out
the next three dangerous batters; and
when, in the ninth, he sent the Indians
down one-two- three, the last two by the
strikeout method.
So the television addicts and the box
office people get break, with the return
of the series to Boston. Will the action
continue? With Lemon and Voiselle on
the mound. it could be another tight
pitching contest. But the Braves have
regained their confidence and anything
could happen. After yesterdays slam
bang contest, it would not be surprising

@. When blood is taken from the body of q
person for transfusions is it turned into blood
plasma?-A. j. S.
A. The United States Public Health Services
says that blood taken for transfusions is by
no means always converted into plasma. It
has been estimated that, in the average gem
eral hospital whole blood transfusions are re.
quired in 30 to 90 per cent of the cases. whereas
plasma is needed only 10 to 20 per cent of the
time. When plasma is used it is not necessary
to consider the blood type, providing the blood
of several individuals has been used to pre-
pare a pool of plasma from which the in
dividual bottle of plasma has been obtained.
If the plasma has been prepared from single
blood donation, the blood type may be of some
importance, but only in unusual cases.
Q. How are the joints of the body iub-
ricated?-L. A. T. p.
A. The joints are fabricated by the synoyial
fluid secreted by the synovial membrane with
which they are lined.
Q. When did the United States Navy first
have band?-t. T.
A. According to the Department of the Navy,
the earliest known Navy band was acquired in
q rather unusual manner. In 1902 the Aneri-
can corvette Boston put into the Italian port Of
Messina, and group of musicians were invited
aboard ship to play. While rendering .encores
and bowing to the enthusiastic applause OF
the seamen they suddenly discovered that the
coastline of Messina was fading into the dis
lance The sailors had liked their playing so
much they had decided to keep the musicians
on board! In 1912 the second Navy band was
obtained, not by kidnapping, but was captured
by the frigate United States from the British
ship Macedonian. Later records show that the
U. s. S. Constitution cold Ironsides) shipped
a band of 20 pieces. Musicians in these early
bands were usually drawn from the crews.
Q. Is there river in Colorado that actually
flows uphill to a plateau that has seven lakes
on top of it?-R M. B.
A. The United States Geological Survey says
that Seven Lakes, group of small lakes lying
in the mountains of Colorado approximately
miles southeast of Pixies Peak, drains south
wardly through a marshy stream into Middle
Beaver Creek Below its junction with the
stream, the creek flows down a steep rocky
gorge As the area of Seven Lakes is viewed
from the lower end of the marshy area, the
high mountains in the background give the
optical illusion that the valley slopes toward
them and that the stream flows over rise into
the gorge at the point Of observation. A SIM
liar effect is experienced as one motors along
a road through evenly sloping plains toward a
mountain. When the car loses power as the
grade increases, the driver may not realize the
reason for it until looking back he sees the
steep grade up which ne has come.
