Red Threat jim Germany

On more than one occasion In the past, the
Kremlin- directed Communists of East Ger
many have made loud and threatful noises
against the Anglo-French American peace con-
tract with West Germany. Now they are doing
so again, this time with special emphasis on a
warning that the people of the free sectors OF
Berlin will be in "the most dangerous situation"
If the pact is ratified at Bonn.
Some have interpreted the warning as
threat to subject the city to repetition of the
infamous Soviet blockade of 1948-49. The Ian
guage used by the German Communists, how
ever is not quite so specific it refers instead, to
further isolation distress and endangering of
the West Berlin populations statement sug
gesting that the promised trouble may be limited
to sealing off the free sectors from East Berlin
and resorting to various types of pressure de-
signed to cause hardship without attempting
another all-out blockade The Kremlin, after
all, may have learned SOLDERING lesson from
the defeat inflicted on it few years back by
the American and allied airlift and counter
blockade.
Nevertheless, even though it seems unlikely
that another blockade will be tried and even
though the German Communists may be en-
gaging in nothing but nerve warfare made up
more of empty bluff than genuine threat, it
would be imprudent to rule out the possibility
Lnat serious new LrOuple may De III Cne making
for West Berlin. Chancellor Adenauer's gov
ernment at Bonn has declared its intention to
submit the peace contract for ratifying vote
some time next month, and the Soviet-con-
trolled East German Red regime has been at
pains to warn against the expected affirmative
action. In the circumstances, the Anglo-French-
American authorities, along with the free Ger
mans, should be prepared to cope with some
kind of mischief making reaction.
In any event, however, the West Germans
should not hesitate to ratify the peace contract.
What they ought to keep in mind Is that
France, Britain and the United States have
solemnly declared that they will consider any
attack on the Federal Republic or on free
Berlin, as an attack on themselves. That is
guarantee enough against the kind of threat
that the Communists have been mouthing.

Vital Health Insurance

substantial part of the 1921 million
investment in city hospital improvements
recommended by the Commissioners advisory
committee is designed to meet a shocking
health problem here. The doctors on the COM
mittee recognized community hazard about
which average citizens give little thought
the presence in their midst of tubercular per-
sons who should be isolated until danger of
injecting others has passed. These ailing
persons must remain at large until the District
provides more adequate facilities for their
treatment.
The Advisory Committee on Municipal
Hospitals gravely worried about this health
risk. has given priority in it's hospital program
to an entirely new emergency project Urgent
ly advocated for immediate construction is a
S00-bed unit at Gallinger Hospital for tempo
rary care of convaleScent TB patients Stated
bluntly, the committee wants to remove these
walking sick people from the public places
where they now are free to go. It wants to
keep them under observation and give them
treatment as long as their condition calls for it.
The special unit, to cost So million, would
not be permanently used for this purpose. The
unit would be used for general hospital services
when the long-planned expansion of TB ia
cilities at Glenn Dale is completed The Glenn
Dale program is long range undertaking that
the Districts shortage of beds for sufferers
from tuberculosis. The improvements at Glenn
Dale will cost about SIS million.
Also listed for immediate construction by
the advisory group were 25O-bed psychiatric
unit and other improvements at Gallinger
Hospital, and temporary central clinic to
replace the overcrowded tuberculosis clinic at
469 street NV. Listed for later construction
were numerous technical, administrative and
housing facilities at Gallinger and at Glenn
Dale. Health centers in the northwest, north
east and southeast were urged, too.
The whole program as finally approved
by the Commissioners, will become an i'm
portant part of the city'S $3.50 million public
works program soon to be presented to Con-
gress. without Federal aid in the form Of
grants and loans the program will remain
largely visionary. The Advisory Committee on
Municipal Hospitals has prepared a persua-
sive case for liberal allotment of the funds
to Washington's sadly tagging health program.

would cost to pay the salaries Of two
more Commissioners and to provide
them with secretaries, secretaries to

While scheduling of BLOOD
donor appointments for the
Bloodmobile visit at the Eagles
Hall in Chardon, Feb. 26 got
under way this week, the
chairman of the visit, Mrs
Arthur c. Dade, made a spec
ial request:
please don't let the schedule
down." she said, IF you can't
make your appointment call
Red Cross headquarters at Char
don. 5-4911 so that the time
saved for you will not be lost,
Otherwise, come when your
card says to come - and eat
before you come
Mrs. Dade explained that
many donors have the false
idea they shouldn't eat before
they give blood.
Eat your reguar meal" this
registered nurse advises, "but
not fried foods. Anything that
isn't greasy is fine. We serve
coffee and cookies, and lunch at
noon, but you need some food
before you donate"
Cards turned in at Red Cross
this week show
that Geauga county business
firms and factories are again
cooperating with the drive for
blood by encouraging their wor-
kerS to donate.
