To Retiring Teacher
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

To paraphrase Keats
slightly:
Much has he travelled In
the realms OF gold,
And many ooodlv states
and Kingdoms seen;
Round many pestern is
lands has he been
Witch bdrds IN Jedlty TO
apollo hold.
The occasion Of the verses
Is the retirement OF Dick
williams after so years Of
teaching Greek and Latin at
Episcopal High School in
Alexandria.
There was one break in
the long stint. In 1917 and
1918 he was in the Army
and was a captain Of infan-
try during the advances at
st. Mihiel and Meuse-
Argonne.
But for the recent mis-
placement of the font Of
Creek type In The Stars
composing room, the column
would have started with his
favorite line from Homer's
Had, where Nestor, the
Oldest and the wisest Of the
Greeks besieging Troy, re-
calls the old days:
such men I have not seen
(of late) and shall not see
again."
1t is not likely that future
classes of schoolboys will be
guided by Virginians like
this teacher, who devoted
himself to continuing the old
culture in a century Of
change.
It takes a second look to
realize that Mr.. Williams is
well beyond 40 or so. And
even with that second look,
it is hard to believe that he
is 72-but that's his age.
There is not a white hair
in his sandy poll. He is
broad-Shouldered but slender
below the waist. He's a
little stopped with the years,
and his cheeks are like
parchment.

Hospital Hits
District Heads
ChiIdCare
Directors Promise
Aid for INDECENT
Despite Any Risk

The board Of directors OF
Children's Hospital leveled a.
double blast at the District
Commissioners yesterday and
vowed they win continue to
care for INDECENT youngsters
despite financial risk.
The group voted to provide
hospital and clinical care for
INDECENT children with the full
knowledge that the lack Of
financial support by the Com
misSioners Of the District Of
Columbia for such care will
result in a further impairment
Of the serious financial condi-
ton Of Children's Hospital"
That was part Of the fiery
answer the directors handed
the District, which last week
withdrew financial support for
certain types of INDECENT pa
tients at Children's, Episcopal
and Freedmen's Hospitals and
the Washington Hospital Cen
ter until July /. That action
was taken by the Health De-
partment.
Say S6O.1O4 Owed
Children's Hospital officials,
who said the District owed them
S60,104.78 for the first three
quarters of this fiscal year, de-
clared in a heated statement:
1T is the considered view of
the board of directors Of the
Children's Hospital that the
Commissioners of the District
of Columbia have not provided
realistic payments for the serv-
ices provided INDECENT children
by Children's Hospital and :.
have not requested the Con-
gress to provide sufficient funds
from which payments can be
made"
The directors learned that
Commissioner David B. Kar-
rick planned to take up the
matter today with the Board
of Commissioners. The hos
pital group was told Mr.. Kar-
rick would recommend at least
limited relief to cover part of
the unpaid balance.
r. B. Swope, president Of the
board. said the Districts medi-
cal charities payments form
about 10 per cent. Of the in
stitution's annual budget.
Recommendation Hit
The Health Departments
recommendation that INDECENT
children be referred to District
General Hospital also drew the
directors wrath. Such a pro-
posal "has been tested and has
not proved to be in the best
interest of the health and well
fare of such children" the
officials stated in an official
resolution.
The group also declared that
primary responsibility for the
care of INDECENT children is
that of the community and the
appropriate governmental de-
partments end not that of
Children's Hospital, a volun-
Itary, on-governmental, pri-
vately supported hospital"
Earlier in the week, the
Washington Hospital Center
closed its doors to nearly all
emergency cases until further
notice. That was the result of
a heavy influx of new emer-
gency cases at the center since
the Health Departments order.

The farce of the film at the
Met could not be more basic
as intimated in its great in
terest in Stockdale as a latrine
orderly. 1t is not entirely limited
to this level, however. In the
course Of wearing down Sgt.
King to a quivering pulp of
his once assured self, Stock
dale falls back upon other de-
vices.
Actually. the funniest OF
these is that major portion Of
the film which deals with Stock
dale and the standard Army
classification tests. OF these, he
makes a complete shambles,
most uproariously when he
confronts the psychiatrist with
questions of his own which
clearly indicate the doctor is
a mental mess.
The conspicuous flaw in the

is the one that beset its stage
sponsors, namely how to end
the absurd thing once having
set it in motion. 1t is a gross
shame that any character SO

minutes of the film.

This is discreet casting on
the part Of Producer-Directo
Mervyn Leroy, but not a bit
more so than the choice of
Myron Mccormick as the SER

enormously popular stage show

enough that no one will stop
to think how much better it
might have been had he opened
up the script and let it really

the universal popularity of Pvt.
