this is a real tribute to the type of medical care which our
expectant mothers and infants are enjoying in Jackson Coun-
ty.
The last comment that we would like to make is with
regard TO the ten leading causes of death. II is again apparent
that the so-caued chronic, degenerative diseases are our
greatest problem. Only a few of the diseases listed can be
classed as preventable in the usual accepted sense. In other
words, the communicable diseases that we have been able
to attack through suen health measures as immunization and
sanitation, are no longer leading problems. We must now
begin to place increased emphasis on health education with
the older age groups, teaching them how to live more con-
servatively, and thus reduce the tremendous total which we
now have from heart disease, cancer and other chronic dis
eases. ~

For Memorial Fountain
By the Associofed Press

HARTFORD. Conn.,. Aug. s.
The Superior Court has ruled that
a $454,000 trust fund created by
the late Mrs. Ella Burr McManus
must be used as she directed. to
construct a sculptured memorial
drinking fountain for humans and
animals.
Judge Edward ]. Daily rejected
a request by trustees of the fund
that it be used to build part of a
proposed new library.
Mrs. McManus, daughter of AL
fred E. Burr, late editor and pub
Usher of the Hartford Times, died
in 1906. Her will stipulated that
her husband, the late DR.. James
McManus, was to have life use OF
the fund.
DR.. McManus died in 1920 and
the State Capitol Commission on
Sculpture, as designated in Mrs
McManus' will, took over the trust
fund in 1928. At that time it
amounted to $4,000. Since then
it has grown to $454,319.
A decade ago the Sculpture
Commission unsuccessfully sought
Superior Court permission to turn
the fund over to the Hartford

in June.
This years total, however, was
far short of the 52,452,000 nom
agricultural figure posted for July
last year.
Farm Employment Ebbs.
Farm employment slipped to
9,647, 900 in July from 9,696,000 in
June. But this was well above
the s,163,OOO total in July, 1948.
The Census Bureaus figures
were Nationwide estimates only.
They shed no light on the spot
unemployment which the admin
istration seeks to remedy by con-
centrating Federal spending in the
troubled areas.
The Census Bureau distin-
guished only between agricultural
and non agricultural unemploy-
ment, without breaking down the
latter group into factory. trade
and service groups.
Factory layoffs have been the
chief cause of concern to ad-
ministration officials.
100000 on Vacation.
The bureaus estimates were
based on a sample survey taken
in the week ended July 9, period
1t described as near the peak for
the vacation season.
About 100000 persons were on
vacation at the time, but they
were counted among the en-
ployed. So were workers who had
jobs but were momentarily absent
because of illness, layoffs of less
than 80 days, or strikes.
Because the bureau counts as
employed all persons who worked
one hour or more in the survey
week, either for pay, profit or
family gain, it has been accused
by some labor organizations of
putting a too rosy glow on en-
ployment.
These organizations claim many
persons who were classed as en-
ployed worked part-time jobs only
because they were unable to find
full-time work.

The United States has protested
to Chinese Communist authorities
about the delay in taking action
to halt mob violence at the
Shanghai Evening Post and Mer-
curry last week.
It said the police at first did not
respond to appeals for help.
State Department Press Officer

eral building at Shanghai will be

Chinese formerly employed by the

ment of wage claims against the
Navy.

Shanghai's Chinese language
newspapers that American nego-
tiators trying to settle the wage
argument had agreed to three
months severance pay. Mr.. White
said the two American officials
had power only to negotiate. He
said there have been no agree
ments but that negotiations are
continuing.

American ship is being prepared
at Hong Kong to pick up Amer

Dispute Over Farm Bill
In Senate Aids Chance
For House Measure
By the Associoted Press

A dispute over what the Senate
should do about a farm bill built
up support today for the House.
approved plan of another year of
high-level Government price props
under most farm corps.
Senator Anderson, Democrat, of
New Mexico still was trying to
work out a bipartisan compromise
that would include even a piece of
the new farm program of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Brannan.
Other members of a seven-man
Agriculture Subcommittee told a
reporter they appeared to be dead
locked. A three-way split crossed
party lines.
Senator Anderson, former Sec
retary of Agriculture, with sup
port of Senate Majority Leader
Lucas, sought agreement on f1ex-
ible price supports for all food
and farm products, except perish
ables that could not be stored.
Leaning strongly toward the
House plan for another year oi
rigid price props at wartime levels
of 80 per cent of parity were
Chairman Thomas of the full COM
mittee and Senators Hoey. Demo
crat, of North Carolina and
Young. Republican, of North
Dakota. Parity is a calculated
price for farm products intended
to give the farmer a return in
fair relationship to the price OF
things he must buy.
Battling to retain major pro-
visions of the so-called long-range
flexible support plan enacted by
Congress last year, to become
effective at the end of this year
were Senators Aiken of Vermont
and Thye of Minnesota, Repub
licans.
Known as the Aiken bill, the
flexible support plan calling for
supports at from so to 80 per cent
of parity was target for Presi
dent Truman and other Democrats
during the last election.

Ambulance Service

The Commissioners have turned
down a proposal that the dis
patching of ambulances of the
Emergency Ambulance Service be
retransferred from the Fire De-
partment to the Electrical De-
partment.
The city has notified DR.. John
A. Reed, chairman of the Emer-
gency Ambulance Service. who
favors the move. that they believe
the service should remain under
the Fire Department.
In another action, the Com
missioners approved a recon-
mendation of Fire Chief Joseph
A. Mayhem to pass up a number
of proposed amendments to the
building and electrical code with
respect to fire alarm systems.
Former Fire Chief Clement
Murphy had proposed amend
ments to clarity responsibility for
the two types of fire alarm sys-
TENS, private and municipal, as
outlined in the electrical code.
Set Up Several Years Ago.
The emergency ambulance serv-
ice was placed in the electrical
division after it's establishment
several years ago, with Herbert A.
Friede, superintendent of commu-
nication, in charge. Later the
Commissioners transferred the op-
ration to the Fire Department,
with responsibility under the chief
engineer.
In a letter to the Commissioners
of July 27, DR.. Reed said that
some months before the recent
retirement of Fire Chief Murphy
he had discussed with him the
"desirability" of transferring the
service back to the electrical di-
vision.
DR.. Reed said it had been his
understanding that Mr.. Murphy
was going to recommend the move
to the city heads. He said the
reason for the proposal was that
there was inadequate and un-
trained personnel available" in the
Fire Department for operating ane
maintaining the service.
In Favor of Retransfer.
He wrote he was in favor of the
retransfer and asked the "con
sidered judgment of the Com

The proposals involved certain
changes of authority with the fire
chief and the electrical engineer
Some responsibilities would have
been transferred from the fire
chief to the electrical engineer ano
some from the electrical enginee,
