OF National University

An urgent appear to alumni and
friends of the National University
School of Law to contribute to
the schools building and develop
ment fund drive was made today
by William H. Dyer, campaign
chairman.
The drive will begin November
Il and continue through Decem-
ber /. The goal is 100000 with
$63,000 earmarked for develop
ment of the school through schol-
|arships and professorships and
$4,000 for building and mainte-
nance.
This is the first time in it's
81-year history that the school
has made an appeal to its alum
nj" Mr.. Dyer said. 1T is in
their interest to get behind the
effort. Their academic back
ground is irrevocably bound with
the advance of the university. Its
identity, its existence and above
all, its reputation from year to
year reflects credit upon them"
Mr.. Dyer said that National
University's constant growth and
record of service in Washington
and the Nation as a whole gives
me confidence that it will attain
its objectives during this cam
'paign."
Mr.. Dyer is secretary of the
Perpetual Building Association. A
native of Washington, he is a
graduate of National University
of Law, a member Of the Lions
Club and a member of the WASH
ington Board Of Trade. He lives

precious memory Of the passing of my
dear husband. GEORGE ROBERT PAT
TERSON Of the Metropolitan Police, who
departed this life twenty-four years ago

As the sun was slowly setting,
Twenty -four years ago today.

Took him, oh, so far away.

As helpless I stood by;

AS alone in my bed lie,
To keep my faith in that vacant spot
And I'll meet him again by and BY.

By the Associated Press

President Truman is working on
his relations with those Democrats
who group themselves as liberals"
in a way that indicates to some
politicians he is thinking Of run
ming again in 1852.
For one thing, there was his last
ditch-if futile-f1ght to return
Leland Olds to his job on the
Federal Power Commission. Mr..
Truman told his news conference
yesterday that the overwhelming
Senate rejection of Mr.. Olds was
a bad thing.
Also classed as a bid for the
enthusiastic backing of the same
party element that supported Mr..
Olds was the Presidents nomina-
ton of Mrs. Eugene Anderson of
Red Wing, Mimi, as Ambassador
to Denmark. She would be the
first woman to hold the rank of
Ambassador.
Described as active in Demo-
VI GUlS d1&dA . plIlSC 4O11s GllC 1V~
year-old Minnesota matron is a
member of the National Board Of
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton.
Thus in this appointment, Mr.
Truman has given recognition
not only to the women members
of his party, but to a political
Organization that in the past has
demonstrated some suspicion
about the philosophy of govern
ment held by the President.
Was Opposed by ADA.
The ADA was in the forefront
last year of those who tried fran
tically to find someone else for
the Democratic presidential NOM
ination. II Mr.. Truman wants
the nomination again in 1852, he
obviously would like to avoid a
repetition of this opposition.

APPOINTMENT of Liberals Seen
AS Truman Plan to Run Again

The ADA went along with Mr..
Truman in the campaign-partly
because 1t felt it had nowhere
else to go-but some of its men,
bers had reservations about how
liberal Mr.. Truman would be If
elected.
Their complaint was that the
President talked liberal, but de-
pended too much on conservative
elements in his cabinet for policy
decisions. They complained he
gave his major appointments to
Missouri cronies.
AS for the Olds nomination, sell
dom has Capitol Hill seen such
widely publicized effort by Pres
ident to get confirmation of an
appointee. Amid the trappings of
a crusade, Mr.. Olds was set up as
symbol of liberalism.
Mr.. Truman said the big corpo-
rations were out to get the COM
mission. He put the Democratic
National Committee to work try
ing to stir up grass roots support
for Mr.. Olds.
Truman Silent on Wallgren.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, active
in the ADA, came out strongly for
Mr.. Olds. The CIO supported the
nominee.
Speaking for the President. Will
liam Boyle, jr., the Democratic
national chairman, said Mr.. Olds
stood for what the party stood for.
On the other hand. Senator Ed
win c. Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, said Mr.. Olds had
"sowed the seeds of revolution" by
admittedly radical writings in the
1920's. He said mo Communist
could speak more bitterly about
this democracy.
When the Senate voted. SO to
Is, Wednesday night to reject Mr..
Olds' nomination-about as severe
a political licking as a President
ever got on a nominee-21 Demo-
Gratis went against the President
and only 13 with him. Thirty-two
Republicans voted mo" and only
two-Senators LANCER Of North
Dakota and Morse Of Oregon
voted "yes."
Only two of the Democrats who
supported Mr.. Olds were from the
South, Senators Graham Of North
Carolina and Ellender of: Louisi-
ana.
In another matter on which he
was baked by a Southerner, Sen
ator Byrd of Virginia, Mr.. Truman
refused to say at yesterdays news
conference whether he will give
former Gov. Mon c. Wallgren of
Washington a recess appointment
as chairman of the National Sc
curity Resources Board.
Mr.. Wallgren's appointment was
withdrawn after Senator Byrd
cast the deciding vote to pigeon
hole 1t in the Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee.

Health Unit 10 Fix
Price Tag on Care Of
.ChronicaI|y III Here

The United Community Serv.
ices Health Section has authorized
a committee to draw up program
for the care of chronic disease
with a price tag" to
show the city just what the needs
will cost.
Plans for a study of the needs
were discussed at a section lunch
con yesterday. at which DR.. Dar-
rell c. Grain declared there iE
literally no place to send" many
chronically i'll patients in need Of
hospital care.
DR.. Grain, former chairman Of
a group which delt with findings
of the Washington Metropolitan
Health Survey, said Washington's
greatest deficit" for chronic ILL
ness is in hospital beds. Most hos
pitals, he said, are willing to keep
such patients only until their ILL
ness can be diagnosed and treat
ment outlined.
Clinics Helpful.
The out-patient picture is more
hopeful, he said, particularly with
widespread clinic services in the
two new university hospitals. The
only institutions available for in
patients, he said, are the Home
for Incurable and the Home for
the Aged and Infirm.
The latter institution, he said,
has come in for strong criticism
from surveys. But the Home for
1ncurables was held up as an
excellent example" of good treat
ment and care by a study of the
District Rheumatism Association,
he said.
Isadore Seemen, new executive
secretary of the health section,
stressed that the work of the new
committee will not be just an
other survey" The difficulty, he
said, is that I'VE have never
offered the community a program
with definite price tag on it. I
think we at least should try to
do it,"
Partial Pay Suggested.
DR.. Charlotte Donlan, director
OF the Health Departments Bu-
reau of Cancer Control, empha-
sized that the section must solve
basic economic barriers" to de-
tect chronic diseases at early
stages. A simple test, like the
chest X-ray survey for tubercu-
losis. is not feasible for more gen.
eralized diseases, she said.
A clinic where patients pay on
the basis of their income for
examinations may be a solution,
DR.. Donlan said.
But it must be on for the COM
as a whole, not only the
INDECENT" she said.
Mrs. Lucille Smith, secretary Of
the National Commission on
Chronic Illness, described post
war rehabilitation and home care
programs as important steps
against chronic illness. The Dis
trict Health Department has
asked for funds for the next
fiscal year to develop a home care
program for cancer patients, ex-
pected to result in substantial
savings.
DR.. Winifred Overholser, st.
Elizabeths Hospital superinten-
dent and chairman Of the Sec
ton. presided at the meeting,
held in the Sheraton Hotel.
