rick announced yesterday.
The young women, he declared
passed the schools screening
tests and will now take standard
lied tests by the National League
for Nursing. The Commissioner
declared that if they pass these
they will be admitted.
This was reported to the Com
missioner yesterday by Miss

ing at the District General Hos
pital and head of the school, who
returned to meet Mr.. Karrick al
though she is on leave.
Approved by Committee
Sunday The Star reported
that there were no Negroes in
the school and that Negro ap-
plicantS had been turned down
during the initial tests, which
include personal interviews.
DR.. P. A. E. Stebbing, admin
iStrator of the hospital. said the
Negroes have been approved by
the schools Admissions Com
mittee. including Miss Ritter.
The six Negro girls would be
the first of their race to be ad-
mitted to the city's nursing
school. which is located on the
grounds of the hospital.
The Commissioner declared
that any Negro meeting the tests
of the school will be accepted.
He said that he believed the
fact that there are no Negroes
there now to be a "coincidental
matter"
Entirely Integrated"
Mr.. Karrick declared that the
hospital has been operating on
an entirely integrated" basis for
several years, including the nurs-

Earlier, DR.. Stebbing declared

the Canadian side. Hitherto the
granting Of this permission had
been considered almost automa-
tic in view of the joint nature
of the seaway project.
Sees Plans JeOpardize
However, the Canadian gov
eminent suddenly realized that
the simple act of granting such
permission might jeopardize its
plans for parallel navigation
facilities on the Canadian side.
The dredging of a similar ship
channel on the north side of the
river is necessary to the Cana
dian plan, and that would re-
quire American permission for
the same reasons Of water level
land flow.
The American authorities have
been unenthusiastic about an
alternative Canadian route COM
Ipeting for toll revenues.
The possibility occurred to the
Canadians that after the United
States seaway was completed, the
United States might decline to
sanction the dredging required
lin Canadian waters to enable
ships to reach the entrance of
the proposed Canadian canal.
Disagree on Depth
The Canadian government
adopted the position that COM
pensatory dredging must be done
on the Canadian side to main-
tain level and flow. The United
States agreed. Then Canada
proposed that the compensatory
dredging be in a continuous line
and to a depth of 81 feet, the
same as on the American side,
and offered to pay the extra cost.
The United States rejected this
proposal as being unnecessary
for the maintenance of level and
flow as provided under the
treaty. The Canadians are bound
by the treaty not to proceed
Iunilaterally. But Canada has the
United States over the same bar
rel. 1t can refuse PERMISSION for
dredging on the American side,
and thus render the United
States seaway relatively useless,
That is the Stalemate which
Mr.. Brucker and Mr.. Marler are
trying to resolve to their govern
ments' mutual satisfaction at
Itoday's meeting.

part of the joint project. flew
to Ottawa late yesterday with
a group of State Department
and technical experts for a con.
ference with Canadian Trans.
port Minister George C. Marlel
and President Lionel Chevriel
of the st. Lawrence Seaway Au-
thority of Canada.
The meeting, now in progress
was called to try to find a mu-
tually acceptable way out of ar
impasse which, Canadian au-
thorities said, could set back the
5000 million power and naviga-
ton project for a year or more.
Main Issues Listed
These sources said the dispute
embraced four issues:
/. Canadian plans to build ar
all-Canadian seaway along the
north shore of the st. Lawrence
perhaps a decade hence which
would parallel and compete fol
traffic with the navigation facili.
ties now being constructed BY
the United States.
2. An apparent American hope
of maneuvering Canada into 6
position in which Canada coulc
not go into competition with the
United States seaway without
American permission.
8. The date when New York
and Ontario power authorities
can begin feeding st. Lawrence
power into their grid systems.
4. The division of dredging
costs among the navigation anc
power entities of the two coun-
tries.
The dispute has its roots ir
the Boundary Waters Treaty Of
1909. This treaty binds both the
United States and Canada tt
refrain from action in boundary
waters like the st. Lawrence
which would alter the water leve
and flow on the other side Of
the boundary, except in cases
where one country has secured
the others permission.

Now they find him drawn ire

strange" church. and they have
only themselves to blame.
They cannot expect their son
to turn from his spiritual attrac-

and they are not in a good posi-

they develop a positive interest
in their own church and religion.
Their boy is not likely to be

These parents may be panied
by their boys course. but they
should realize they might have
brought about an even worse
result. Had the boy not discov-
cred some outlet for his spiritual
longings. he might have become
a distorted and destructive per-

at the very least expose them to
such values very early in life.

Cigarette Evidence Inadequate
DR.. Hueper makes other OBJ
servations that may be interes-
ing to those who are not stub
bornly against evaluating any
data that doesn't incriminate
tobacco
He says: For occupational
reasons. men are more con-
sistently and intensely exposed
to cancer-producing atmospheric
pollutant than women. Evidence
that cigarette smoking is a major
element in lung cancer is mad
quate. Despite constant contact
of cigarette tars on lips, oral
mucosa and fingertipS, cancer
of these structures is not in
creased in smokers.
Since the correlation between
lung cancer and inhalation of
cigarette smoke is not positive,
the premise that the production
of cancer is directly related to
the intensity of exposure to the
carcinogen (tobacco) is not full
filled"
If you don't like to smoke /
suggest you quit. Quit also if
your doctor has so advised, or
if you think cigarette smoking
is a messy habit.
However, if you do enjoy the
weed, don't be stampeded into
foresaking it until final and UNI
