Maybe there have been other ball players who

so, their memories have been dimmed by the years.

Unified Medical Unit
For Armed Services
Held Long Way Off

Unification of the medical services
of the three branches of the armed
forces is still long way off, accord
ing to officers in the Army Medical
Corps
Speaking today before the Society
of the United States Medical Con-
sultants in World War II at their
annual meeting at Walter Reed
Hospital, Maj. Gen Raymond w.
Bliss, surgeon general of the Army,
reviewed the progress toward uni
fication made in the last year by
the Committee on Hospital and
Medical Services of the Armed
Forces.
The committee headed by DR. Paul
r. Hawley was directed last year by
Secretary of Defense Forrestal to
make q thorough. objective and
impartial study of the medical serv-
ices of the armed forces with a
view to obtaining at the earliest
possible date the maximum degree
of co-ordins tion, efficiency and econ
omy in the operation of these serv-
ices"
Gen. Bliss told the society that
considering the "infnitesimsl degree
of coordination and integration
which existed at the time this board
commenced it's deliberation" he was
not disappointed in the result of
their years work.
He said they had made Is pro-
posals for major changes in the med
ical services to Secretary Forrestal,
three of which have been approved
to date.
Members of the society questioning
Gen. Bliss and second speaker, Col.
Earle Standlee, special assistant to
the Surgeon General. expressed i'm
patience at the progress so far. They
said the years work had netted
"only a few crumbs" in the way of
unification.
Not until the services lay aside
their old competitive ideology pride
of place and desire for pre-eminence
will the efforts of any such commit
tee" bring about any real uniflca-
ton, Col Standlee said

Tonight Is Dead|ine
For Tax InstaI|ment
By the Associoted Press

Midnight tonight is the deadline
for mailing the second quarterly
payment of Federal income tax If
your taxes aren't paid up fully by
withholding.
You can reduce today's check by
changing the estimate Of your l948
income to take advantage OF tax
cuts granted since filing the original
estimate March Is.
Those who prefer, however. can
wait until later to amend declara-
tions and take reductions. But If
YOU do, then a one-fourth payment
must be made on the old tax esti-
mate. Those who overpay total
taxes will get a refund after filing
final 194s income tax returns next
year.
Taxpayers who file amended dec
larations can take advantage Of
these provisions of the tax cut bill:
A s100 increase to $500 total for
each exemption claimed. Also, a
taxpayer reaching IS during 1948
gets an extra $500 exemption for
himself and another extra $500 if
his wife will be IS this year. Blind
persons get the same extra exemp-
tions as persons over IS.
For married persons, the split-in-
come provision of the new law per-
mits reduced taxes and quarterly
payments if they file joint decla-
ration. Even if couple filed sep
arate declarations in March. the tax
collector permits joint ones now.

Lutheran Convention

Membership Report
BY Cospor konnes

The Southeastern District of the
Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod,
has increased in membership by
more than $500 since it was organ
lied nine years ago, the Rev. o. A.
Sauer of Richmond, president, an
nollnced today.
Mr.. Sauer, addressing the opening
meeting of the Districts sixth con-
vention at Christ Lutheran Church,
said the total communicate mem
bership now is 1851. The South
eastern District now has u
churches, % advisory pastors to
mission churches and IL full-time
parochial school teachers.
MIR. Sauer also told the gathering
there was a serious shortage OF
ministers and equipment for many
churches.
The approximately $50 delegates
from Delaware, Maryland, Virginia
North and South Carolina and the
District of Columbia heard the Rv.
Eldor A. Cassens of Baltimore call
for more church interest on the part
of laymen.
He declared the "5 per cent of re-
ported church memberships do not
exist: that 10 per cent cannot be
found: that 25 per cent never go to
church; that so per cent never con-
tribute a cent to the church and
that IS per cent never attend mid
week service"
Mr.. Cassens declared the increase
in church membership of 2ls per
cent in 10 years indicates something
drastic must be done to bring people
into the church.

National Junior Trials
Wednesday Draw H
CAPITAL Golfers

Twenty-nine junior golfers will
compete for seven places to the first
United States Golf Association Ma
tional Junior championship in sec
tional qualifying rounds for this
district Wednesday at Columbia
Country Club.
Pairings were announced yester-
day by the USGA, through Frank
Emmet, officer in charge of the
trials.
The championship will be held
August lila at the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor. Washing
ton boys who made the grade will
be aided with their expenses from
the District Golf Associations
Junior golf fund.
The allotment of seven places
for 20 players probably will more
than take care of the number of
players from this section who want
to make the trip.
AS the USGA event is limited to
boys II and under, several of this
sections top junior golfers are not
entered. Pat Browne, jr., of New
Orleans will attempt to qualify from
this section as a ''floater."
Emmet also is anxious to remind
;he junior golfers that entries for
