TB X-Rdys To Be
Made At College

Bluffton college faculty and stu
dents will receive chest X-Ray ex-
aminations for tuberculosis when the
Allen County Mobile unit will be
operated on the campus here We'd
nesday, October IS.
Arrangements for the X-Ray ex-
aminations were made by Dean J. S.
Schultz with Ralph Turner, executive
secretary of the Allen County Tuber-
culosis and Health association.
Chest X-Rays will show tuber-
culosis in the lungs long before
physical symptoms appear and be-
fore the disease has reached an act
i've, communicable stage. Authorities
recommend, therefore, that it is
sound health practice for all per-
sons above the age of Is to have
a chest X-Ray once a year.

The jury awarded SIS, 800 to Will

promptly and effectively alleviated
by foreign aid"
The President said "the continued
deterioration of the Chinese econ
omy is a source of deep concern
to the United States and that the
question of assistance had been
under continuous study since the
return several months ago of Sec
retary of State Marshall as .spe-
cial envoy before he became Sec
retary of State"
He recited the military aid given
China and the support rendered its
Nationalist government and added
that help also had been extended
under the old UNRRA program.
Nevertheless, the Chinese govern
ment and the people are still labor
ing under the double and inter-
related burden of civil war and a
rapidly deteriorating economy" he
said. THE strain placed upon the
country by eight years of war and
the Japanese occupation and block
ade have been increased by internal
strife at the very time that econ
omic reconstruction efforts should
be underway. The wartime damage
to transport and productive facil-
tiles has been greatly accentuated
by the continued obstruction and
destruction of vital communications
by the Communist forces"
China is IAN important factor in
world affairs" and it, has always
been the desire Of this country to
see that nation prosper, Mr.. Tru-
man said.

Top Military Leaders
Praise Army Women,
Ask Regular WAC
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Top military leaders today saluted
the women who served in the war
and asked Congress to give them a
permanent place in the Army, Navy
and Air Force.
Gen. Eisenhower, former Army
Chief of Staff, told the House Armed
Services Committee he was once
horror struck" at the idea of
women in the Army.
But he said he changed his mind
after the WACS Joined the Allied
forces overseas during the war.
Only one woman soldier. he said,
ever asked him a favor.
Asked To Get Near Front.
"She wanted to know how she
could get closer to the front"
He also had this to say about
letting women become regulars in
the armed forces:
After an enlistment or two, most
of them will - thank God - get
married. The woman is very easily
disciplined. She never gives you a
bit of disciplinary trouble"
Gen. Eisenhower refused to
answer question from Representa-
tive Bishop, Republican, of Illinois
as to whether women should be in
cluded in universal military train
ing program. He said, however, he
thinks they would have to be
drafted "just like anybody else" in
case of another war.
Forrestal Also Testifies.
Gen. Eisenhower's praise for the
women was echoed by Secretary OF
Defense Forrestal: Gen. Bradley,
Gen. Ensenhower's successor as
Chief of Staff; Gen. Hoyt S. Van
denberg, Air Force vice chief OF
staff, and Admiral Louis Denfeld,
chief of naval operations.
Mr.. Forrestal said the WACS will
have to be demobilized between
March / and July l If the legisla-
ton to give them permanent status
is not approved. 1t has passed the
Senate,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ia steel
foil-its protective ball-shaped tip

of his neck. ts
University officials said young
Koenig and another student were

Koenig's companion, whose name

Barrett Sees Courtesy
Drive as Successful

Superintendent Of Police Robert
J. Barrett said yesterday ''he would
not tolerate" discourteous police
officers and that he felt he had
been successful in his eight-month
campaign to increase courtesy and
efficiency in the department.
Speaking at an Exchange Club
luncheon at the Willard Hotel, Maj
Barrett said he expected los vacan-
cies to be filled shortly, bringing
his department to its prewar
strength.
Scoring the adverse publicity
he had received after being appoint
ed police head last July, he said
he had done his best to create a
better law enforcement agency and
that he thought morale had i'm
proved.
1t. Robert Murray, chief Of the
robbery squad, discussed the new
police communications unit. He
was introduced by Maj. Barrett, who
declared Washington has "the best
detective bureau in the country"

the next session, possibly tomorrow,
Senator LANCER said.
DR.. Martha NJ Elliott, associate
chief of the Children's Bureau, fa-
vored the measure and recommend
ed that the 60-day leave proposal
be extended to 80 days. She also
urged that the measure apply to
unwed women.
In other testimony, Miss Mar
garet Plunkett of the Womens Bu-
reau, said that almost every other
nation has already in effect laws
to provide special maternity bene-
fits to state workers. She favored
the bill and cited standards of ma
ternity care drawn up by the bureau.
Chairman LANCER retorted that
the bureau has done "a rotten job"
in not reporting its finding to Con-
gress and urging legislation similar
to his bill.
Passage of the measure also was
urged by Maj. Humbert L. Rivas,
chief of obstetrics at Walter Reed
Hospital, who said the bill will en-
courage women to have children,
and to have more than one" He
added his belief that the legislation
should also 60 to unwed women.
The Navy and Army, however, are
on record in opposition to the
LANCER bill.
Rear Admiral Paul B. Niebecker
told the committee yesterday that
his department opposes the bill.
He said the Navy's present ma
ternity leave regulations are prefer
able to the proposal. The Navy now
permits leave by use Of accumulated
sick and annual leave, and addi-
tional time off without pay may be
taken.
Speaks Also for Army.
The admiral said he was author
lied to say for the Army that it, too,
is opposed to the more liberal pro-
visions of the Senator's bill.

Campagna' Says
She Paid $4,000 for
Aid in His Parole
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-Mrs. Char
lotte Campagna, wife of former
Capone gangster, says she paid $l0,-
600 to Attorney Paul Dillon of st.
Louis, who once was one of President
Truman's campaign managers, to
help obtain her husbands parole
from Federal prison.
Her husband, Louis 0ittle New
York; Campagna and three other
former Capone hoodlums, were
paroled last August after serving
one-third of their 10-year sentences.
They were convicted of extorting
more than 81 100000 from the movie
industry.
Mrs. Campagna, testifying yester-
day before a House subcommittee
investigating the paroles of the four,
said Mr.. Dillon presented her with
a bill for $4,000 after he appeared
before the subcommittee last fall.
Bill Not Itemized.
Asked by Chairman Hoffman
what the bill was for, Mrs. Cam
pagna replied: "It was to help my
husband get his parole. She said
the bill, which was not itemized,
was paid last December.
Mr.. Dillon, who had been St.
Louis campaign manager for Mr..
Truman when he was a candidate
for the Senate, testified before the
subcommittee last fall that he had
helped the four men get out of
prison but said he had not received
any fee.
Mrs. Campagna, in telling about
the $4,000 fee she said she paid to
Mr.. Dillon, said she never had re-
tanned him directly. She said she
asked a friend, a member of the
Missouri legislature, to ask Mr..
Dillon what he could do about
getting a parole for her husband.
The three others paroled with
Campagna are Philip dAndrea,
Paul (the Waiter) Ricca, and
Charles CHERRY Nose) Cioe, all
formerly associated with the old
Capone gang.
A. Bradley Eben, former United
States attorney here who partici-
pated in the defense at the hood
lums' trial in New York. was an
other witness. He denied having
anything to do with the paroles.
$4,000 Fee Paid.
"When I finished the case in New
York that was it, PERIOD Mr.. Eben
declared.
He said he was paid a fee of $15,-
900 for his work at the trial. Mr..
Eben also was questioned regarding
his mother, Mrs. Mary Agnes O'Con-
nor Eben, who he said does clerical
work in the White House.
He described her as an intimate
friend" Of President Roosevelt and
said Mr.. Truman has retained her
in the White House employ.
Mr. Eben testified that published
reports had implied" his mother
had something to do with the pa
roles. He said he "emphatically"
denied this.
Chairman Hoffman told Mr.. Eben
there was nothing in the record
"to reflect" upon his integrity or
that of his mother.
Six Treasury Department officials
refused to testify in the case. Chair
man Homan said they would not
be considered in contempt of Con-
greSs because they were acting un-
der orders of William Sherwood,
acting commissioner of internal
revenue.
