Revised Makeup
For Health Board

Abolition of the Alexandria Health
Board was recommended last night
by a committee of the Alexandria
Health Council.
The committee, headed by DR..
G. w. Bogikes, asked that the pres
ent board be replaced with a board
selected on a different basis. 1t
recommended that the new board
include three physicians, one dentist,
one attorney and two lay members
as voting members. and the health
officer, city manager and Mayor, or
his representative. as ex-officio men,
bers without votes. The change
would require amendment of the
health board ordinance.
At present, the health board is
composed of two doctors appointed
by the medical society, the Mayor,
city attorney, city manager and two
councilmen.
Held Council dominated.
Our present health board is
council-dominated,' said DIR. Bogikes.
He said his committee believed the
health board should be comparable
to the school board, which form
ulates policies and makes recon-
mendations to the council.
The committee report was
amended to require that at least two
members of the new Health Board
would be women. The report, as
amended, was referred to the Execu-
tive Committee of the Health Coun-
Gil for further study.
The newly-formed Health Council
last ngiht adopted a constitution and
elected officers. The constitution
provides that membership shall in
clude representatives of public. pri-
vate and voluntary health agencies,
private individuals and representa-
tives of the health committees of
civic, service, fraternal and religious
organizations.
Rev. johnson Elected.

said:

was some small arms fire from the
ground. The leader was flying at
500 feet. I was No. 2 and was

Mr.. Close said that up to that
time his flight had encountered
anti-aircraft fire nor hostile

Asked whether he knew another
British plane had been shot down
into the sea off the Israel coast
a few weeks earlier, Mr.. Close re-
piled he had read about it in an
newspaper.
He said in reply to questions that
he and others had instructions on

Mr.. Close said British pilots were
instructed not to use Egyptian land

or make a forced landing, he said,
they were to try to do so along a
main road otherwise to make it
across the country for Ismailia, in
Egypt.

Peace Depends on Chang.
During the past month possible
end of the war with the Reds has
depended principally on the decision
of Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
himself. Today a new factor has
entered the situation-the question
of the continued loyalty of his
subordinates, especially his military
commanders who control troops in
the field.
Should these subordinates decide
the time has come to act for them
selves, 1t is possible they are ready
to do so with or without Gen. Chi
ang's approval.
If the Tientsin experiment ends
successfully, it is possible other re-
gions may seek a similar solution.
