Saturday night to play the

Woodland said he had a good

he wouldn't make any changes

The SMU coach said the fact
that Notre Dame had some
sophomore linemen influenced
a decision to run to those posi-
tons IN order to change up the
Notre Dame defense and give
a better opportunity for passing.
The Mustangs threw 10 passes
and completed IL.
Another factor that entered
into the startling defeat of Notre

They require only IA in their

There's some consolation for
the Senator's. They can't extend
their losing streak to record pro-

of games. They have a pair of
games in Boston tomorrow and

a most powerful promoter of sense

Consumer credit as we now know
it apparently got going strongly in

rowing on scale equal to about 7
per cent of disposable consumer

OF about IL per cent.

DESCHAPELLES, Haiti. - The

millionaire was beginning to unfold
for William Larimer Mellon, jr., in
1947.
Scion Of the Pittsburgh Melons
and granddaughter of tycoon An

at 81, already had retired-from
whatever it is that millionaires re-
tire-to his new house and ranch

The house was exquisite; the
scenery gorgeous. Life opened like
a flower, and Mr.. Mellon calmly
plucked it for his well-tailored
laps. What more could man ask?

banks in the family.
Then one day he CHANGED to flip
through a picture magazine and
came across an article on the work
of DR.. Albert Schweitzer in the

Here was another man who had
retired--retired from brilliant

Economic Report, has given rise to
suggestions that the Federal Re-
serve Board again, as in wartime,
be given power TO control such
lendings. The official inquiry points
up the great change since the 1906,
when the Keynsians were deploring
the public's excessive propensity
to save and the problem was to
find useful outlets for the invest
ment of savings. Now investment
demand for capital is in excess of
available supply of savings and
money is tighter than it has been
in generation.
Unbalanced by the outlook, one
economist has noted that while
consumer debt may involve dangers
and special economic problems 1t
has its virtues, too. Much of what
the borrowers buy with the money
may be termed part Of our national
wealth. or consumers capital" If
it is all right for railroads to use

government to operate on borrowed

m ScHWEITZER's STEPS
A Millionaire With d Mission

From that day on, Larry Mellon
was never the same. He was con-
sumed with passion to serve life
rather than constantly call on it
for room service.
At an age when most millionaires
are trading in their polo ponies for
racing stables, Mr.. Mellon, who had
quit Princeton in his freshmanl
year. went back to school to begin
the long preparation for new days
ahead.
Seven Years Of Preparation
Seven years later he emerged
from Tulane University Medical
School in New Orleans as DR.. Will
liam Larimer Mellon, jr., devoted
disciple Of DR.. Albert Schweitzer.
The man in the smoking jacket
had become the man in the white
coat. For DR.. Mellon, the next step
was inevitable.
With his wife. the former Gwen
Grant, whose family established the
philanthropic Grant Foundation, he
had visited Haiti in 1852 to gather
material for his doctors disserta-
ton on tropical ulcers"
The paper was well received by
the examining board. Like most dis

his trip to Haiti: the poverty, the
helplessness. the physical miseries
Of the rural population.
In the broad. sloping Artibonite
valley at Deschapelles, he built the
Albert Schweitzer Memorial Hospi-
tai, So million. 50-bed hospital in
one Of the poorest and most thickly
populated areas in the Western
hemisphere.
On his 46th birthday last June
-26, two years after construction
began under the direction Of archi-
tect Robert Law, DIR. Mellon quietly
opened the doors Of his cyclone and
acknowledgment structure to be-
gin carrying out his belatedly dis
covered life mission.
But the doors did not swing
open to everyone. To avoid being
swamped with applications from all
over the island, DR.. Mellon had to
limit treatment to the $4,000 ma
tives who lived nearby. He mapped
out 400-acre hospital district.
Those outside the perimeter must
