physician whose. four-volume SIN
tegrated Practice Of Medicine has
been called ''the practitioner
bible" by Time magazine. But be-
fore I ease into DR.. Hyman's no.
tion, let me give you some Of the
reasons behind it.
IN THIS WEALTHIEST Of ma
tions, where we have more doctors
per capita than anywhere else, mil
lions OF people get periodic medical
check-ups-but seldom are they
checked for cancer until something
begins to hurt. The reason, accord
ing to DR.. Hyman, is that these ex-
aminations seldom include sur
vey" for cancer. even though this
involves little more than a few
probings and scrapings.
rs I get ii from DR.. Hyman,
person bas so per cent chance
of licking cancer if it is spotted
in its ineipient stages and treated
by competent physician. BHt
once THE malignaney is ia, enough
along to eanse pain and the asso-
ciated symptoms, the odds against
killing fbe man-kiIley drop to 20
per cent.
Which, in my simple arithmetic,
means that 80 out of every 100
cancer deaths can be prevented
If we find a way to make every
Doctors office in the country cam
Ger detection center.
Here's where DR.. Hyman's notion
and your brothers money come in.
Why wouldn't it be a good idea
for the Black-Stevenson foundation
to compile all the latest knowledge
on cancer diagnosis in one hefty
volume and then. working through
the various local medical societies,

Idea On Marine
Reserves Untrue

The x-marines in this area
have mistaken impression that
they were placed in the u. S.
Marine Corps Reserve for a period
OF ten years beginning with the
date of their discharge from the
regular or reserve Marine Corps.
This belief has no foundation.
If upon discharge, from the reg
ular or reserve Marine Corps, you
did not enlist in the Volunteer
Marine Corps Reserve (inactive)
and did not sign a contract vol
unfairly enlisting into the u. S.
Marine Corps Reserve you are
not now member of the Marine
Corps Reserve and the present
calling of the Marine Corps Re-
serves to active duty does not
effect you in any manner.

IF THIS PROGRAM were backed
up by an educational campaign to
alert both doctors and public to the
importance of nipping cancer be-

mate that each OF our 100000 gen.

least one incipient case each year.
And since there's a $3.50 chance
of curing cancer in its baby stages,

could be saved annually-either by
local medicos or by specialists and
hospitals equipped to deal with the
malady.

I'm not suggesting, of course,

put your entire $4,000, 900 into this

Lyman has outlined could be car
ried out for a tenth Of that sum,
leaving the bulk Of your endowment
for ell-administered agencies and
projects such as the Damon Run

And by putting a couple Of hum

At Cairo (1943), United States,
China, and Great Britain promised
that Korea would be free and in

The Soviet Union agreed to it
when it entered the Pacific War
against Japan in August 1945.
When Japan surrendered, it
was agreed that for military con-
venience the u. S. S. r. would
accept surrender of Japanese
forces north of the 38th parallel;
and the United States, south.
But after the surrender, the
Soviet Union began to block off
northern Korea at the 38th par

iron curtain"

Usually the tanager flies high, and
lights even higher.
It is not much use to look for him on
the ground, or even in bushes.
Usually he takes to the treetopS.
His feathers in summer have an almost
electric quality. The red is. entirely Diff
ferent from that Of the cardinal.
Z; Scientific description calls the red
birds coat vermilion red. and that of
the scarlet tanager flame scarlet.
Call them as one will, they are BEAU
tiful creatures, veritable splashes Of
color in the best sense.
Another really bright one is the Bal
timore oriole, visitor here each summer.
The CLINT of his rich orange contrasts
wonderfully with the black.
Something Of this is shown in one Of
the birds common Names golden robin.
In some sections 1t also is called fire
bird.
The bit OF gold in the towhees coat
Is another instance Of this peculiar
brightness in bird feathers.
Fortunately, such vividness is not
really essential What species is prettier
than the wood thrush? He has no glow
at all, yet not even the vivid cardinal Is
more beautiful. !,

ing, really alarming news reached the
operators: The big producers in Illinois
and Indiana we're just about ready to
break away and sign up.
Then on Friday President Truman
asked Congress for powers to seize and
operate the mines. Some parts Of the
seizure plan frightened the operators,
especially sinister section providing for
"just compensation" of the owners for
use of their properties IN the period OF
Government operation.
The Keech decision, on the other hand,
had by no means freed Mr.. Lewis OF
pressure. He knew the end OF the trail
lay just. ahead, so far as the strike was
concerned. The miners, desperate as
they were, could be counted on to hold
out longer. But the fuel shortage was
really beginning to hurt, and the public
was angry, The strike just could not, be
permitted to continue.
And Mr.. Lewis disliked the Presidents
seizure plan about as much as the oper-
ators did. He wanted the Government to
negotiate the new contract with him.
There was no provision for that. Sci
zure meant an end of the strike; end of
the strike meant the end of the coal
shortage. Full coal bins meant loss Of
the contract battle. The miners might
even turn against the union.
So both the operators and Mr. Lewis
were amenable to reason when Mediators
Ching and Cole arranged secret"
meeting Friday afternoon.
The meeting was between Mr.. Lewis
and George H. Love, chief negotiator for
the Northern Western operator group.

To Speed Reorganization

It is gratifying to learn that President Tru-
man is preparing to send to Congress shortly half
a dozen additional proposals for Government
reorganization. There has been increasing
impotence among reorganization advocates over
an apparent lag in the reform program since
last year. So far only 20 per cent OF the Hoover
Commissions recommendations have become
law. While some of the remaining 80 per cent
can be carried out by administrative action,
many of the more controversial changes will
require legislation. The longer congressional
consideration of new plans is put off, the more
likely it will be that members of Congress will
become preoccupied with up-coming campaign
worries. And political atmosphere is not con-
ducive to objective, statesmanlike action on
measures for curtailing patronage and reducing
Federal expenditures. .
Fertile fields for economy still untouched in
the current reorganization movement include the
Veterans Administration, the Post Office Depart
ment, personnel management, accounting, agri-
culture, medical services, commerce and natural
resources Already the calamity hoWlers are at
work in opposition to any drastic alterations OF
the status quo in most of these areas. These
critics think that reorganization is fine, so long
as it does not touch their favorite department or
agency One of the most vocal and vehement OF
the pressure groups is the American Legion
which has announced Nationwide "mobiza-
ton" against what it calls the proposed dis
memberment" of the Veterans Administration.
Veterans have lot of votes. But not all veterans
favor the Begion's stand as Is evidenced by the
action of the American Veterans Committee in
supporting the Hoover VA plan. And the Citi-
zens' Committee for the Hoover Report has an
swered the Legion's incorporate charges with
facts and figures that are quite impressive
Nor does all the opposition to further re-
organization originate outside the Federal
establishment Dr. Robert L. johnson, chairman
of the Citizens Committee, recently declared:
"Some of the biggest agencies of the Government
are among the most wasteful the most COM
placent and the most powerful. They maintain
strong Hobbies. They have well-organlzed pressure
groups at their disposal" Past experience with
reorganization efforts has shown that this Is no
exaggeration. In past years, however, there mas
been no counter movement of the sort being
undertaken so effectively by the Citizens Com
mittee. The stage is being set for real battle
the outcome of which will depend largely on
how much time Congress is willing to devote tc
thorough, impartial study OF the Presidents
proposals
