know that, then we can decide
whether or not it is in the interest

THAT view was explained to
all of them. They all agreed that
we would consult and that no one
would take any action without any
clear and advance information to
the others, so you could adjust

done it. Nobody has Welshed on

Injection Treatment
For Alcoholics Praised
By Richmond Doctor
BY the Associated Press

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, Oct. Q.
A highly successful hypodermic
treatment for alcoholics that de-
stroys the craving for spirits was
described here today by DR.. r. G.
McAllister of Richmond.
DR.. McAllister told the Medical
Society of Virginia that II out
of 100 acute alcoholic patients had
been cured without hospitaliza-
tion using the new method, which
involves injecting small doses OF
adrenal cortical hormone and
Vitamin c.
The injections seem ito result
in an almost specific action in
stopping the nee6 and craving for
alcohol in both the acute and the
chronic alcoholic" he said.
Reports Sedatiye Effect.
However, he added. "it has nc
lasting effect in preventing further
alcoholic bouts. although it can
prevent a binge. if taken prior to
indulgence"
He said the injections brought
"a "sedative effect upon the acute
alcoholic, along with a definite
sense of relative euphoria (sense
of well being)."
Some of the patients required
only one shot. others a consider
able number.
Crossed eyes cause juvenile de-
linquency. the society was told in
another talk today.
A cross-eyed child, ridiculed by
his classmates. will play hockey
from school. said DR.. E. G. Gill
|of Roanoke. And truancy is a
first step toward more serious
delinquency. he added.
Crossed Eyes Not Outgrown.
Dr.. Gill said the family doctor
often advises the parents of a
Icross-eyed child to do nothing
about it on the theory that the
child is too young and will out
grow the condition.
This is a mistake" said Gill
children do not outgrow crossed
eyes" .-..
Backs Admittance of Negroes.
DR.. Gill said medical treatment
should be begun "as soon as the
squint is definitely manifested
regardless Of the age"

president Of the medical society
told the convention last night that
Negro physicians should be admit.

Local Units to Be Consulted.
He added:
1T is not fair. It Is not lust
1t is not democratic. It does not
manifest the Christian spirit tc
limit membership to this society
to white people only"
Before he spoke, a committee OF
the society said it would ask all
local units Of the organization to
consider the admission of Negro
doctors. It asked the local So
Icieties to report next year Their
views on such admission.
The committee also voted to
crack down on society members
who accept kickbacks from medi-
cal firms to whom they may pre-
scribe work-such as a physician
Recommending a certain optical
company. Hereafter, any docto,

TO CHAN GURNEY.
;. At the present time we are
keeping our military expenditures
below the levels which our mill
tary leaders must In good con-
science estimate as the minimum
which would in themselves insure
national security. BY so doing
we are able to increase our ex-
penditures to assist in European
recovery. In other words. We are
taking a calculated risk in order
to follow a course which offers q
prospect Of eventually achieving
national security and also long
term world stability.
If we refuse to take such q
calculated risk the problem
will not approach solution during
the years Immediately ahead.
Military Factors Listed.
During those years-of which
the exact number is indetermi-
nate-we will continue to nave
certain military advantages which
go far toward covering the risk
There are really four outstanding
military facts in the world AT this
time. They are:
/. The predominance of Rus
sian land power in Europe and
Asia.
2. The predominance of Ameri-
can sea power.
3. Our exclusive possession of
the atomic bomb.
4. American productive ca
pacity.
AS long as we can outproduce
the world. can control the sea and
can strike inland with the atomic
bomb, We can assume certain
risks otherwise unacceptable in
an effort to restore world trade,
to restore the balance Of power
military power-and to eliminate
some Of the conditions which
breed war.

New Names Are Easy but Streets Are Headache

District Surveyor F. F. Healy,

Clinically, it may be attributed
to a combination of Washington
topography. street nomencla-,
ture and a deficiency in fore
sight on the part Of the found
ing fathers.
Professionally, it means that
Surveyor Healy heads a depart
ment which, among many other
things. must approve the open
ing of new streets in areas the
founding fathers didn't exactly
have in mind. Then he submits
a street name to the Commits

Washington's fabulous growth

AS far as the opening Of new

estimates it is about 80 per cent
full.
The original plan for Wash

Streets Follow Contour
But topography and modern
day money appropriations cre-
ate the first difficulty. Excess

and Scraping away the hills
would cost too much. so new

contour.
Obviously. with numbered
streets running north and
south, We can't bend a projec-

it run east and west" the sur
veyor sighed again.
Finding names is no great
problem. Until completion Of

open up new subdivision,
name it, name all the streets
and then come into the sur
