most valuable contribution toward
the control of cancer that a depart

The Health Department estimates
also recommended that only one
new dental clinic be established in
the eastern sections Of washington,
instead of the three requested by
the Board of Education, because Of

mate said dental services in the

The Bureau of Public Health
Engineering, DR.. Rutland said. is
faced with the serious problem Of
being directed to carry out certain
functions for the protection Of the
public health for which it does not
have the necessary personnel. Be-
cause of the overcrowding Of hous-
ing facilities and the lack of ade-
quate maintenance OF sanitary con-
ditions, he said. many complaints
have been received that could not
be handled.

corps is the cost of uniforms, which
must be furnished by the boys. New
uniforms this year probably will
run from S35 to $40 each.
After an inspection of the schools
last year by officers from the I'd
Army Headquarters at Fort George
G. Meade, Gen. Gay was told by
1t. Gen. T. Gerow, I'd Army head,
that:
1T is the opinion of this head
quarters that unless reasons exist
which are unknown to this head
quarters, action should be initiated
by you with a view to withdrawing
Federal aid from these schools"
Gen. Gay charged that the pres
ent arrangement for the cadets to
drill outside of school hours is not
satisfactory. The white high schools
drill in the afternoon after classes,
while the colored schools drill in
the morning before class. He called
upon school officials to devote three
hours week to the cadet program
during school hours.
Academic Program Cited.
1T can't be DONE" Mr. Nelson ex-
planned, adding that the high school
academic program was so full that
it was impossible if the students
were to get their educational re-
quirementS in.
Gen. Gay said that, since the ca
diets must drill after school hours,
athletes do not participate and the
cadet corps loses the attendance OF
these potential leaders"
The commanding general also said
that, "in most instances, no time in
the training schedule is devoted to
instruction and practice in care,
preservation and familiarization
with the rife"
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
said the reason for the decline in
the popularity of the cadets is hard
to explain,
1t is reflection of a natural post
war antipathy toward things mill
tary, he suggested. Anyway, he
added. school principals and mill
tary science instructors are doing
everything they can to popularize
the cadet corps.
Not Compulsory.
He pointed out that boy cannot
be forced to join the corps.
The act of Congress governing the
enrollments in the cadets was passed
in 1907 and provides that every male
pupil shall be admitted to and
shall serve in the high school
cadets, unless excused from such
service by the principal, on certifl-
cate of one of the medical inspectors
of schools that he is physically dis
qualified for such service, or on the
written request of his parent. or
guardian"
DR.. Corning said that each year,
when school opens, all the boys are
given cards which they take home
to be signed by their parents. If the
parents say the boy may not join
the cadets, he cannot be made to do
so, it was pointed out.
The cadet corps has been in ex-
istence here for 66 years. Among
those who have been members are
Maj. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe, 1t.
Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, 1t. Gen.

ton rates." he added. To-day, our
payments to hospitals have reached
point where 1t Is no longer pos
sible to meet them from our pres
ent income and We are compelled to
draw them from our reserves"
To illustrate increased costs Of
medical service, CHI pointed out
that in June 1899, the bill for a
maternity case in one hospital was
$6225. In the same hospital for
the same month, CHI said. bills
for the same period were $3.50 IN
1943, $103,5o in 1916 and sl65.2o this
year.
Service Expanded.
Present CHI contracts cover
charges for subscribers for semi
private rooms, meals and special
diets, routine nursing care and
laboratory examinations, all drugs
and medicines, surgical dressings
and use Of operating and delivery

Under the new contracts, payment
for these additional services also will
be made by CHI:
/. Coverage for 80 days Of hos
pItalization, instead of the al days
now allowed per year.
2. Discounts on semiprivate room
charges beyond the 30.day period
will be increased from 10 per cent
to so per cent-up to an additional
180 days of disqualification a year

Oppenheimer would head the ex-
panded~ Division of Medical Inspec-
tion of Schools, because DR.. Joseph
A. Murphy, present chief Of, the sip-
spectio1 bureau, IS expected to retire
before next year.
DR.. Ruhland said the other divi-
sions tentatively would be set down
as follows: Administration to in
clude Vital Statistics: Food Inspec-
ton Service, to include Public Health
Engineering, and the Hospital Per-
NIT Bureau. Dispensary and Clinics
would operate under independent
status.
Inspectors Asked.
At the same time, DR.. Ruhland
asked for two new medical inspec-
tors for colored schools at S4,902
year each. He said the school
population of the District has in
creased considerably in the last few
years. without a corresponding in
crease In the number of medical
inspectors. The workload of ply
sicians who examine colored school
children has increased to the eX-
tent that these children cannot be
served adequately, DR.. Rutland
said.
Provision for the two new in
Spectors, he said, would equalize
the workload of all the inspectors
fol- both white and colored chill
dren.
In fiscal 1850, DR.. Rutland said,
the Health Department particularly
hopes to group the dental service
with the maternal and child-health
services. He emphasized that den-
tai service under this setup would
be provided for INDECENT adults as
well as for children.

THE ROOTS OF
ANTI-SEMITISM
BY Rabbi Milton Steinberg

BY Rabbi Milton Steinberg
Editors Note: The brilliant
young b b. of New York's
Park Avenue Synagogue, DR..
Milton Steinberg, analyzes the
causes of anti-Semitism in an
article digested from his new
book, ''The Making of the Mod
ern Jew" 1t is essential to
know its roots, it's historic back
ground.
The Arizona post., 1948-10-01

If the survival of the Jew be
one riddle of history, the hardi-
hood of hatred for him must be
another. For this, like the Jew
himself, has outlived all vicissi-
tudes of time. 1t has fourished
among cultured and benighted
peoples, in periods of prosperity
and adversely. 1t has dogged the
steps of the Jew like some shadow.
It is almost as old as he is
INDOCTRINATION
In large part, prejudice against
the Jew is the direct result of in
doctrination. Anti-Semitism is a
time-honored component of Wes-
tern culture, and the child who
is reared to the latter is quite
likely to acquire the former also,
and to get the one where and as
he gets the other-at his mothers
knee, on the playground, from his
teachers desk, in the books and
newspapers h e re Is, and in
church.
THE CHURCH
Especially in the last, since of
all the sources of anti-Semitic in
doctrination, tn e Christian re-
ligion would seem to be the most
potent. The pulpit having for
centuries taught worShippers to
regard the Jew as the Christ
killer. This unhappy practice
continues to the present, and that
despite the doubts raised by Bibli-
cal criticism concerning the his
toricity of the crucifixion story,
