WHAT ARE WE DOING
FOR OUR CHILDREN?

Greensboro is a great edu1
cational center, but we are at
least twenty-five years behind.
In previous years we have over
looked one of the most important
needs of our schools. We are be-
ginning to wake up and see the
need Of a good PIT A. This Or
ganization is to promote the well
fare of children and youth in
home, school, church and COM
munity. Parents and teachers
should be able to cooperate in
telligently in the training of chill
dren. Are we satisfied with the
achievements and progress that
cur children are making? Are
we doing our best to help the,
schools to secure needed equip
ment?
We ARE busy parents, but we
should take an active part in
any organization that is for the
welfare Of our children. This is a
good way to decrease juvenile
delinquency. We are tax payers
and citizens, too. We have right
to- ask for improvements in our
schools. A PIT A. is not a social
club. It should be large voters
group. Where there is unity
there is strength" We've all got
to get to work; we don't want
to let our children down!

u. n. Votes Resources Plan
Over U. 5. Opposition
By the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS. NY, Dec
23.-The United Nations General
Assembly, over United States op-
position, has adopted a resolution
affirming the right of government
exploitation of natural resources.
The proposal was branded by its
opponents as a naturalization
resolution, although the sponsors
had dropped the specific reference
to naturalization contained in the
original draft.
The United States. warning that
the resolution would be a danger
signal" to private investors and
discourage investment in under
developed countries, fought the
plan every step of the way but
suffered stinging defeat.
BY a vote of So to four with 20
abstaining. the Assembly approved
the plan sponsored by Uruguay
and Bolivia. Bolivia recently ma
tionalized its immensely rich tin
industry and the United States,
ordinarily Bolivia's largest Gus
toner. has stopped buying.
Only Britain-also a capital
exporting country-New Zealand
and South Africa joined the

Baltimore Officials Urged
To Avoid Increasing Debt
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 23.-Balti-
more City officials were urged
yesterday not to go any deeper
into debt which already is the
highest in history.
The Commission on Govern
mental Efficiency and Economy
an unofficial citizens group
asked the city not to seek authori-
zation for any new loans at the
General Assembly next month
The General Assembly must give
the city permission to have loans
voted on by the taxpayers.
The commission pointed out
Baltimore already is in debt for
1888 million and has authority
to borrow $153 million more. The
interest and principal payments
now account for 13 per cent of
the city's general fund budget, the
commission stated.

$15O,OOO Damage Suil
AGAINST D. T.. Doctor
Reinstated on Appeal

A $l50.000 damage suit charging
q Washington physician with mall
practice, and which had been
thrown out Of court, was rein
stated yesterday by the U. S. Court
OF Appeals for the District of
Columbia.
Plaintiffs in the action are Mr..
and Mrs. Gordon A. Goodwin, 612
Sixth street NE. Named defend
ant was DR.. Herman Hertzberg,
1726 I street NV.
Doctor Testified.
During the original trial of the
case, 1t was brought out that Mrs.
Goodwin's urethra had been per-
forated during surgical opera
ton. At that time DR.. Hertzberg
testified: II must have made the
opening myself in the process of
operation. I am only human"
There was no expert testimony
that DR.. Hertzberg had acted
negligently, and the trial jury dis
agreed and was discharged. Judge
Jennings Bailey of the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia. refused to grant a new
trial and directed judgment in
favor of the physician.
Past Opinion Cited.
But the Court of Appeals held
there was enough evidence of
negligence to entitle the Good
wins to a new trial. The court
cited a past opinion which reads:
THE rule applicable on al
motion for a directed verdict in
an action founded on negligence,
Is that the evidence must be con-
strued most favorably to the
plaintiff; to this end he is en-
titled to the full effect Of every
legitimate inference therefrom; i'll
upon the evidence, so considered,
reasonable men might differ, the
case should go to the jury.
In surgical cases especially,
there are many instances where
the facts alone prove the negli-
gence, and where it is unneces-
sary to have the opinions of
persons skilled in the particular
science to show unskillful and
negligent treatment"
