to taxpayers of more than 3 billion
dollars. feel confident the saving
could be larger than that. If real
efficiency and economy is to be-
come the rule of the federal gov
eminent, the people will have to
support it.
Time is running short. Our spraw-
ling bureaucracy will not of itself
change its habits. Instead, If left
alone to grow, expand, and mush-
room as 1t will, our financial bur-
dens will never cease. The latest
report of the Hoover Commission
deals with government agencies that
are engaged in business enterprise.
It catalogs more than 100 concerns
of substantial size that are owned
or controlled by the government
Large sums could be saved, accord
ing to the Commission, by cutting
this number by almost one-third.
It is evident that unless we do
put our government house in order,
there is no way for this republic
to survive. AS burdens of supporting
huge and wasteful government grow
in magnitude, we endanger the
whole financial structure of the
nation. Moreover, with continued
growth of big government, we can
arrive at state socialism someday
without ever having voted for it.

of every six adult Americans re-
ceives regular checks from Uncle
Sam!

SMTE A LITTLE

BY the time this column goes to
press tha final. eXcruciating, frus-
tratiro week of exams for students
of the University will be over. AS
one gazes at the feverish activities
peculiar to exam weeks, one begins
to wonder how fundamentally i'm
portant these exams are.
Nearly every quarter, we hear of
students being picked up in neigh
boring towns as victims of amnesia
We hear now and then of young
students committing suicide over
exam Illustrations and dependency
Is II really that important?
To outsiders. the currently non-
students, all this tension must seem
foolish. I remember the few years
during the war when I was away
from school how unimportant
somebody else's exams appeared.
II seemed ridiculous that grown
people should work themselves into
such other just because of a
few questions somebody else was
going to ask
Now back in school again. in the
peculiar role of taking a few exams
and also giving out few. I wonder
again what it's all about When
taking exams, I key up like all the
rest I stay up late the night before;
walk the campus in a half-daze:
walk past old friends without n
sigr of recognition.
In the role of giving exams, I
seem to be able to turn right around
and dish out fancy advice. such as.
get a lot of sleep the night before !;
what you don't know now, you won't
be able to inject into your organism
the last minute; don't worry OF

event, etc.
I am Just about convinced that

tensions before exams; cheating will
continue; last minute examining just
for the exam and forgotten two
weeks later will characterize student
behavior. The kind of educational
system under which we operate pro-
duces the above patterns as an in
evitable consequence.
So that calls for a change in the
system. To what do we change?
And that question very largely ex-
plains the reason we continue 10 &c
year after year with our old system
Surprising there was an adequate
system worked out satisfactory II
most persons involved. We still neet
to improve techniques of ascertain
ing the students status in the class
These exams which the students ge

dents? And at what point should

PRESIDENT TRUMAN has before
him one of the greatest opportunl-
ties that any president has had
during the first half of our century.
Oddly enough. this chance OF the
century comes to the President
through the foresight and states
manship of the Both Congress that
last year absorbed so much punish
ment. politically. from Mr., Truman.
It was the 80th Congress that set
I'D the Hoover Commission on gov
eminent reorganization.
Our only living ex-president gladly
accepted the job of guiding the
task force" of experts through
some 10 months of detailed inves-
tigation. Mr.. Hoover has played
well the role of public servant in
past crises. This time he accepted
the task as chairman of the Commits
sion. believing it to be his last oppor-
tunity for important public service
At this writing, Is task force" re-
ports have been sent to Congress
Only the final summary report re-
mains to be made.

THE WORK of the Commission
is so important that it must bt
placed above all politics. Like Mr.
Hoover says. it's nobody's fault thai
our government has got itself al
tied up in knots, with inefficienc!

NEW YORK, June l5.-An g.
year-old girl leukemia victim.
whose veins were connected with
those of a healthy Sing Sing
prison inmate in a complete ex-
change of blood. Is dead.
The New York girls unusual
transfusions we're given the first
week In June, on four successive
days. Her death was announced
yesterday.
Whether this means there is no
merit in this new treatment for
leukemia. which is cancer OF white
blood cells, Is not yet known.
This child had the acute form
of leukemia which is not helped by
X-rays and other usual treat
ments. Before the Sing Sing ex-
pertinent, she was given what is
known as blood substitution. In
successive stages some Of her blood
was withdrawn and whole blood
from q donor substituted. This
went well until she had received
an amount Of new blood equal to
or more than her own blood.
Extended Life Three Months.
The substitution gave her three
months of life. When it started.
she had been expected to die In
two days.
One of the narrowing facts
about leukemia is that the treat
ment which works well for while
often cannot be repeated, because
the second time it does no good.
A second substitution was thought
useless for her.
A Sing Sing convict. healthy In
every way. volunteered to ex-
change his blood with hers. Veins
of the man and the child were
connected 30 that his blood flow
ed into her veins and hers into
his.
Four times this was done in the
prison hospital. until 18 quarts of
blood from the convicts body had
flowed through the girls veins.
Some of this was her own leuke-
mic blod returning to her.
For the child this was a last
resort experiment, in no manner
dangerous to her. The doctors
did not expect to save her this
second time but were making a
last try by varying the method a
little. Possibly the mans blood
system would do some purifying
that bank or donor blood had fall
ed to do.
Convict's Fate Not Determined.
Whether the convict was HARM
ed is not expected to be known for
months. So far as records show
no human being ever before vol
unfairly and knowingly took leu
kemic blood into his veins.
In animals it is known that
cancer can be transplanted from
one to another. and that the
transplant will grow into a new
cancer in the animal receiving this
piece Of malignant tissue.
In leukemia the same principle
might hold. but the situation is
different. Leukemia is a vast ex-
cess of white blood cells. These
extra cells come from a person S
own bone marrow, where they are
manufactured. The co1yict's
Ichance of life rests on whether
the leukemia cells he, borrowed
upset his own bone-msrrowg fac
tory. .-.-s-
The physicians In this case are
Drs. Charles G. Sweet, Sing
Sing physician. and Henry Wal

Arizona Sun Devils
At u. N. M. For
Annual Clash

The defending champions of the
Border Conference track and field
realm, the Arizona State Sun Devils
are ready for Friday and Satur-
days annual clash for honorS, this
year to be held at the University
of New Mexico in Albuquerque,
N. M.
The ASC crew, coached by Dom
Kinzle, have been coming along
through the season and hope to hit
their peak against Border Confer
ence rivals. Last Saturday the
Devils roasted an invading National
University of Mexico by score OF
SO to 38.
Coach Kinzle will be handicapped
in his effort for another champion
ship season by injuries. His ace
broad jumper and quarter miller,
Wilford "Whizzer" White is on the
questionable list with an injured
thigh muscle. The All-American
football prospect hurt lis leg
against the University of Arizona
in a broad jump effort.
Another question mark is Bill
Miller with his ailing right arm.
Miller is the defending champion
in the javelin throw.
Defending champions for ASC in
clude Bill Watson in the mile; Fred
OLSON in the half mile; Joe Payne
in the shot put; Miller in the
javelin throw; George Diggs in the
broad jump and Merlin Thevenot
in the high jump.

Welch Air-Flight
Circu1ator Now

Have you seen the new Welch
Air-Flight Circular? If not stop
in at Karam's, 546 East Dunlap,
and ask for a demonstration.
You will be surprised-at least I
was-that such refreshing GOODNESS
could be had without the use of
water.
This circular is called Americas
most beautiful fan, but don't let
that mislead you. It is really a
beautiful piece of furniture. It has
a large round top that may be used
for a coffee table or, if you are
tired, you can sit on it and rest
awhile. It will support twenty
times its own weight.
If you have convalescents in
your home this circulator will not
distrub them. The motor cannot
vibrate las it literally floats on rub
Der cushions. There is no buz, no
blasts, no draft, but the air is kept
in constant motion.
This smartly styled piece of fur
niture comes in two colorS, a
lustrous black and a rich ma
hogany, and it can be moved about
at will.
Approved by Good Housekeeping
and bearing the Underwriters
Laboratories seal of approval, the
Welch Air-Flight Circulator carries
a five year guarantee.
To really appreciate this new
type of air circulator you should
