CANNES. France, April TO-
The Japnease film, 1.-THE Gate
of HE'LL" tonight was awarded
the top prize at the Cannes Film
Festival after the American film,
From Here to Eternity" was
ruled out of competition on the
ground it had already been am
ply awarded with prizes.
However, the all-French jury
gave From Here to Eternity"
special recognition as one of
the best films of the festival.
This compromise apparently
satisfied the jury, which has been
torn between a desire to give
From Here to Eternity" the top
prize and the reluctance to look
as if it were following the Ameri-
can Acdeamy Award.
From Here to Eternity" got
eight Oscars in the Academy
Awards.
In addition. five other movies
were awarded international
prizes They were "Skander-
Beg, entered by Russia; Before

Japanese Movie Wins Over
Eternity at Cannes Festival

Mon" in Japan tells a 18th CEN
fury tale about a palace guards
man who falls in love with the
wife. of another guardsman. Dur
ing the night while trying to kill
the husband. he accidentally
kills his beloved. When the hus-
band refuses to take vengeance,
the slayer enters religious order
to expiate his sins.
The film was directed by Ma
gaia Masaichi. The color effects
of the film were universally
praised, but some critics found
that the movement was too slow
and the acting too styled for
Western tastes.
One of the events of the festi-
val was the return of Russia
after a two-year absence.
Minimum of Propaganda.
The Russian film, ISLANDER
Beg" which got an "interna-
tional prize" was the story of a
18th century Albanian warrior.
Beautifully photographed in
color. it had theme of intense
nationalism but a minimum of
theological propaganda.
The Polish prize winner, 1.-THE

pedalled the propaganda line.

A group Of predetermined
women is pitching in to help add
a complete modern heart lab
oratory to Georgetown Univer-
Sity's Medical Center.
The Ladies' Board of George
town Hospital has piled up an
impressive list of contributions
since its organization in 1907.
The latest effort looks toward
establishment of an up-to-date
angio-cardiographic unit which
will be one of the few of its type
available to the general COM
munity.
Georgetown already is at
tracing cardiac patients from
all over this country and from
abroad. Many serious heart
conditions now may be cor
rected by surgery. But special
equipment is necessary to de-
termine the nature and location
of the trouble before surgery.
At present, some patients have
to be sent elsewhere for certain
diagnostic procedures prior to
surgery at Georgetown.
Benefit Concert and Dance.
The ladies board will present
a benefit concert and dance at
McDonough Gymnasium April
"a, from which the proceeds will
apply toward purchase of equip
ment costing from $4,000 to
$35 900. Appearing will be the
University and Nursing School
Glee Clubs and 1.-THE Chimes"
Some of the apparatus re-
quired for intricate diagnostic
tests are a ballisto-cardiograph
designed to measure mechanical
forces generated by the heart
beat. oscilloscopes, special cath
eters for obtaining blood from
the heart chambers for analyses,
instruments for measuring the
electrical impulses of the heart
beat. and complete X-ray equip
ment.
DR.. Charles Hufnagel is in
charge of the Cardiovascular
Department at the hospital.
Recent Operation Acclaimed.
The Georgetown Medical Cen
ter, noted for its research as well
as its teaching facilities, recently
won acclaim for accomplishing
the successful insertion of a

This is only one of the surgi-
cal triumphs in which the center
takes pride, along with other
Announcements in the detection
and treatment of the ills of men.

calls.
The School of Medicine at
Georgetown University was es-
tabliShed in 1851. The hospital
was the outgrowth Of six-bed
infirmary at the southeast of
Twelfth and F streets, and an.
other medical building on H
street between Ninth and Tenth
streets.
No Hospital For 10000.
After the need for a we'll
equipped clinical hospital be-
came apparent in 1896. a survey
disclosed that ola Georgetown,
with a population of from go
900 to 10000 people had no
hospital except the Home for In
curables. The corner of Thirty
sixth and N streets was picked
as the new hospital site.
The central wing was COM
pleted in May, 1893, at a cost Of
about $4,000, all of it raised by
private funds. Patients, treated
regardless of creed, color, ma
tionality or ability to pay. came
in increasing numbers and more
buildings were added.
The new Georgetown Hospital,
opened July 81, 1947, was made
possible by the Lanham Act.
Grants were approved by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1914. The new
hospital cost $3.6 million, of
which subscriptions amounting
to $750,000 were raised through
the university. 1t has a capacity
of 407 beds and go baSsinetS.
The Ladies Board has a num-
Der of income producing prof.
ects, and in the last two years
has put some $13,4O3 into the
hospital in equipment. Included
were four infant incubators cost
ing $2,995, and a special scale
for weighing bed patients, which
cost $1,143.
Fund for Indigents.
Besides this type of contribu-
ton, it has a special drug fund
for INDECENT patients and its
finances Christmas and Easter
parties for patients in the hos
pital.
Among the boards projects
are a gift shop in the hospital,
portable gift shop for bedside
visits, memorial fund and par

Bartlett Asks for
 Alaskan Committee For Land Disposal

Delegate Bartlett has suggest ed to Secretary of the Interior Mckay that a committee of AL askans be appointed by Cover nor Heintzleman to assist the De- pertinent in carrying out the pro- visions of a bill now before the President designed to dispose of land in Alaska for recreational and other public purposes.
 The action was taken in an ticjpation of presidential appro- val of the bill which was sent to the White House this week 1iberalizing present law relating to acquisition of land for recrea- tional purposes in the States and in Alaska. At the present time, so far as Alaska is concerned, the Secretary of the Interior may lease or sell to an incorporated municipality only in Alaska 160 acres for recreational or park purposes and 80 acres for cene- tery purposes. The new measure would permit only the Territory and political subdivisions to pur- chase or lease land for any public purpose but would permit non- profit organizations to rent or buy land for recreational or other public purposes.
 Tt is curious fact" the Senate committee report stated, that there is no provision of law under which any part of the pub lie domain can be sold to a pri- vate nonprofit corporation or association for any purpose no matter how desirable. Yet in cer- parts of the country there is very little land available for pur- chase other than public domain lard. That is particularly true in the Territory of Alaska where 999 percent of the total land area is owned by the Federal Government. As a result, the Congress and it's committees have found it necessary each year to consider and act upon numerous private bills authorizing the sale of particular tract of land to a particular nonprofit organiza- fion."
 The Secretary of the Interior is given authority to classify lands in Alaska for the purposes of the bill, but the lands would be re- stored to the public domain if no application has been filed for benefits of the law within 18 months after classification. The bill does not apply to lands in national forests, national parks, national monuments, national wildlife refuges or to any Indian lands. No more than $40 acres may be conveyed to any one ap- plicant on any one calendar year.
 In suggesting an Alaska com mittee to assist the officials of the Interior Department" Dele gate Bartlett stated, it is my thought that among other bene- fits the administrative problems might be eased if such a commit tee could work as a liaison be- tween communities or nonprofit organizations desiring acquisitior. of land under the bill ard the h. terior Department.n
