Southeast Group Plans
To Appeal Denial Of
School Dental Care

The Southeast Citizens Asso-
citation feels DR.. A. Harry ostrow
director Of the Health Depart
ment's Bureau of Dental Services,
is blocking" their effort to obtain
better dental care for school chill
dren in the area.
In a recent letter read to the
association last night. DR.. Ostrow
termed premature and ill-ad-
vised" the groups request that the
Board of Education authorize x
rays for school children, even
though the service had been
offered free of charge by the
Dental Society of Washington.
Comedies Need for X-rays.
DR.. Ostrow conceded the need
for X-rays, but his letter said the
. project, If successfully conducted,
would result in a greater desire
for dental care" There are. not
dentists enough now to take care
of the demand, he added.
Members of the citizens asso-
citation charged DR.. Ostrow is dis
couraging their project for fear
parents will discover the poor
condition of their children's teeth.
They said his letter was an admis-
sion that their demands for better
care for school children were en-
barrassing to him.
The group voted to "go over the
head" of DR.. Ostrow and appeal
to Health Officer Daniel l.. Seek
niger for permission to proceed
with the plan.
BeautificatiOn Asked.
In another action, members voted
to sponsor a model house building
contest for young people, in which
. prize would be given the person
who could best estimate the full
scale cost of his model.
National Capital Parks Supt.
Irving C. Root was asked to beau
tify the center parkway along
Pennsylvania avenue between the
Capitol and the Anacostia River.
The group favored 40-hour
work week for the Districts police
men. Its delegates to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations
were instructed to favor the ap-
plication of the Northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association for
membership in that body.
The meeting, held in the home
OF Mrs. Ada Minnix. 122 Third
street Sc, was conducted by VIII
liam A. Maio, president.

try But last week spent
four days in lovely, old Savannah

warmth of the hotel staff and the

al Conference of Senior Hadas-
sab was a monument to good
will and brotherhood and it
all happened in what is supposed
to be reactionary, lace-bound
Savannah, Georgia -.
It is still hard to believe = but
it really happened = and it was
wonderful .
While the welcome extended
by the officials was a pleasant
surprise the hospitality of the
Jewish community and the Ha-
dassah leaders was an expected
thing : yet it was overwhelming
and heartwarming and an expert
ence in human relationship not
long to be forgotten.
Mrs. Abraham Tulin, the Ma
tional Treasurer of Senior Hadas-
sab, who attended the Confer
ence later told us that if she were
to choose a model community

come about overnight It is
something which has grown with
the years AS I rode in a car
with Minty Mao and Francis
Rabham behind a motorcycle es-
cort through the streets of the
city we passed historic landmarks
which are as much a part of the
new city as they were of the old.
We passed the synagogue
Mikeh Israel which was the first
in this country and Minty and
Francis told of the descendants of
the original families of the shule
who are still a part of Savannah.
Although many of them are
Christians today they have not
forgotten their connection with
the old Jewish community and
are proud of their ancestry {.
Minty pointed out the many
churches to us and ! believe she
is quite right when she says
that Savannah is the city it is
because there are so many
churches of various denomina-
tons and that the congregations
are those of honest Christians &. i. ..
She also told me of a personal
incident in her family life where
in her young daughters school
class observed Chanukah along
with Christmas The celebra
ton in which the Jewish child
rem of the school took part was
instigated by the Gentle teacher
without prompting from Jews,
and was a tribute to the sound
American thinking of the south
ern city =.
AS for the conference itself it
was a memorable one both
from the historic perspective Of
the division of the Hadassah re-
gion and from the social respect
of the manner in which the Jew
ish community welcomed the
delegates and visitors From
the Slotin family and the South
eastern Regional President: Ida

Miriam Slotin (Jack) Levy and

Bingo! American PaStime Catches on
With Thousands Living in Tokyo

noon when 1 dropped in at the Gin
"a Bingo Palace. but already there
we're several University students and
Young couple waiting.
Getting two cards-each card costs
YOU 20 yen and you are limited TO
two cards at a time-I tried my
luck at the game. The players throw
celluloid balls which bounce around
1uite a lot and are hard to get into
lesired holes.
I had beginners luck and bin
coed in the very first game, win
ming 100 points which entitled me
TO a prize worth 100 yen. Gradually
the place filled up with office
workers who were out on Gina
for stroll during the lunch hour.
The prize counter contained wine.
stockings, canned goods and Am
erican candy bars, chewing gum.
biscuits and soap.
Mr.. YoSnida, manager OF the Gin
"a Bingo Club, was very busy call
ng out the numbers the evening I
dropped in to ask him few ques-
lions. All the high, backless stools,
about 80 in all, were filled. and
there was an equal number of look
ers-on, people who were curious to
know what it was all about. Office
workers on their way home from
work predominated, and there were
a few girls, too. Two CTS were there
with their Japanese girls, and there
was even a family of five trying its
luck.
Mr.. Yoshida said that bingo was
not well known enough yet, but he
predicted that soon everybody
would be flocking to the bingo con-
cessions to try his luck. It's SO
simple even a child can play, and
there is nothing crooked about 1t
like the bike races, he added.
News about countless other con-
cessions being started all over Tokyo
seem to confirm Mr.. Yoshida's pre-
dictions. Who knows? Maybe 1t will
be the Number One indoor recrea-
ton of Japan in few years.

FSA Proposal

WASHINGTON. D. c.. June q
(ADC)-The JACL -Discrimina.
ton Committee today announced it.
support Of a proposal to elevate tho
Federal Security Agency into a Cabi-
net Department of Health. Educa-
ion and Security.
Creation of such a cabinet ha,
been advocated in President Tru-
mans Reorganization Plan No. 81
low before Congress.
Cabinet status for an agency
that functions in behalf of the
health. education and social well
fare of 10000, 900 Americans is
"long overdue. Mike Masaoka,
national JACL Ado legislative dir
ectOr, said.
Because of the scope of the Fed
aral Security Agency. and its inn
portance to the nation, it should
have the prestige and recognition d
Cabinet rank" he said, adding:
The plan now before Congress
has been drafted with view tc
making clear that the professions,
powers and authority of the agency
will continue to be in the hands oil
competent professional leaders
In the interests of efficiency
and economy, Plan 81 permits the
new secretary to establish central
administrative services, but spe-
officially limits this power so there
may be no infringement on the
professional responsibilities within
the new department"
Mssaoka said that Plan 81 does
not embody the recommendation Of
the Hoover Commission that al
health activities of the Federal Gov
eminent be placed in an indepen-
dent United Medical Administration
But to make the Federal Securit,
Agency a Cabinet Department Of
Health, Education and Security will
in no way prevent subsequent action
by Congress to transfer health acti-
vities if and when public and private
agencies primarily concerned agree
that 1t is desirable"

study carefully the proposals II

This time it's bingo, and fifty to
sixty thousand devotees of this game
OF chance are reported to be flock
ing to the 10 concessions scattered
throughout Tokyo.
Controlled by the Bingo Cor
poration Of Japan, which has the
Japanese rights TO the game, these
10 concessions cater at the present
time mostly to office workers and
students. Most Of them open from
noon and close about 10 at night.
Bingo first came to this country
from the United States two years
ago, but the question then cropped
up as 10 whether it was a form of
gambling or pure recreation. After
almost year of negotiations bingo
first became legalized in the Kansai
district in June of last year. 1t was
MT until April of this year that the
police authorities permitted bingo
concessions to be built in Tokyo.
In Kansai prizes range all the
way up to bicycles, but in Tokyo
prizes have been limited TO those
of not more than 200 yen in value
in order to discourage any gamb-
