Tuke Disaster Study
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS


Everyone in Russia. from the
teen-ager up, must attend a first
aid class at least once every
month. an Army surgeon de-
clared this morning.
Each individual has a card
that is punched after each class,
These classes are a matter of
law. Col. Joseph r. Shaeffer,
chief of the Department of
Atomic Casualties Studies at the
Walter Reed Institute of Re-
search, said.
At the same time, he added
America as a nation has a VERY
low familiarity with first aid"
This. ne continued. may make
the difference when disaster
comes.
Col Shaeffer addressed 1000
physicians at the sectional meet
ing of the American College OF
Surgeons at the Sheraton Park
Hotel. The scientific sessions,
which opened yesterday, last
through tomorrow.
Col. Shaeffer declared that
every American should have a
working knowledge of first aid
1t should be taught in the schools
as mandatory subject matter and
doctors should take the lead
in insisting on this, he said.
A major reason for this, the
surgeon said. is the fact some
20 per cent of the available doc
tors will be wiped out in a given
area should an atomic bomb be
dropped. 1t would be 72 hours
before the remaining physicians
could give treatment other than
emergency types.

School Lunches
Studied Here

Senator Morse. Democrat OF
Oregon told the Senate today he
would have the Health and We'll
fare Subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee make an in
quiry into reports that there are
a large number of Washington
school children who are lacking
lunches.
The inquiry was proposed by
Senator Humphrey. Democrat OF
Minnesota.
Meanwhile. members of the
District Board of Education have
requested of school officials an
examination of a possible hot
lunch program in District
schools.
The action was taken yester-
day on the heels of a recon-
lmendation by a Southwest civic
group. which asked the school
system to expand its free lunch
program to cover elementary
schools in that area.
The move was spanked by Mrs
Ruth B. Spencer. who said she
was troubled over reports chill
,dren are going hungry in the
Southwest section.
How can these children
achieve properly if they're hun
gry?" she asked School Supt
Hobart M. Corning.
Walter N. Tobriner. another
hoard member, asked for the
study. He requested DR.. Corning
to determine just how many
children are in critical need OF
lunches, what schools they at
tend and where they live. He
said the study should reveal if
such a program could be f.
nanced either by the school sys-
tenn or some other department
IF there are people in want, 9
he said. 1--WE might just as well
assume the responsibility"
Williams Puzzled
Wesley S. Williams, board
member. added that he has
always wondered why no lunch
program exists in elementary
schools, as 1t does on junior ano
senior high levels.
School officials have main
tanned that the great majority
of elementary school children
could get home during the lunch
hour for meals.
Charles N. Zellers. deputy
superintendent, warned board
members that the present school
lunch plan. partially subsidized
by the Agriculture Department
in both food and funds. cannot
stand any enlargement without
jeopardizing the entire program
financially.
He said the answer might lie
in the passage of legislation tC
allow the school system TO draw
funds from the Districts general
fund to support the free lunch
program.

liquor directly from the dis.
