when the clubs lost three OF
their clubhouses because of the
non-integration policy of the
clubs, late last year, District
Court Judge Burnita Shelton
Matthews upheld the operation
of the police boys clubs on a
segregated basis. but by that

Why did this years fund

always done it before and they

HIT BY STRIKE
Cruise Ship
Leaves 200
Ashore Here

A small band of excited va
cationers arrived at Pier 5 yes
terday just in time to see their
nearly empty cruise ship leave
without them.
The $500 ton Yarmouth
pulled out into Washington
Channel at 3 p.m.-just ar
hour before the vessel was
scheduled to depart with 26C
passengers for Bermuda. But
the cruise was Cancelled because
of a labor dispute and about
80 forlorn persons who had not
been notified were left at the
dock with no place to go-ex-
cept home.
"Some of the people came
from as far as Indiana. Illinois
and West Virginia" said one
policeman.
Just after the vessel. which
began its cruise service only a
year ago, departed for dry
dock in jacksonville. Fla. four
young women from Virginia
arrived.
THE cruise has been can
celed," a policeman told them.
Detection showed on all their
faces.
I'VE planned this cruise for
three months" said Mary
Catherine Newberry. 81, Of sos
Fisher drive. Falls Church,
This is real tragic" she added.
"We tried to get the agent all
day long and couldn't. Now
we'll have to go back to work
and wait for another cruise
How long do you think it will
be?p
Miss Newberry stood on the
pier with her three compan-
ions. sisters Matte, Lois anc
Annie Clark Of 1407 Hunting
ton avenue, Alexandria. They
had dreamed of sun-drencheo
beaches and instead were
standing at an empty pier ano
it was beginning to rain.
This is an awful disappoint-
ment," said Matte.
The ship sailed with a skele-
ton crew Of about 30--mostly
officers. With the forlorn trav-
elers on the pier were some Of
the 1875 crewmen who walked
of the ship Thursday. About
10 policemen were on hand. but
there was no trouble. After the
vessel left, the seamen boarded
buses and departed.
The cruise was cancele d
because of a labor dispute
involving demands of the crew
for recognition of the Sea-
farers' International Union as
their bargaining agent.
Timothy F. Kane, vice presi-
dent of the Eastern Shipping
Corp, said the agency had
tried to contact all persons
who had booked passage to tel

Some Want to Stay
The willingness of foreign
doctors to come here and serve
in hospitals is not the whole
story. Some would like to stay
on and practice in this coun-
try.
This situation was one of the
factors causing District officials.

for revamping the entire sys-

He explained that some for

.cense in the District come from
schools not well known to the

Mr.. Gasch said the commits

to screen the foreign doctor by
American standards in the cam

Exams Expedited
He was referring to the newly
Established Educational Coun-
Gil for Foreign Medical Gradu-
ates. Its purpose is to act as a
central evaluation center which
would aid graduates of foreign
medical schools in establishing
their qualification to assume
internships or RESIDENCES in
United States hospitals, and
prepare them for board exams.
Sponsored by the major ma
tional medical groups, the
ECFMG gives an American

Foreign Doctors Sought
For Local Hospital Stats
BY WILLIAM BASHAM
Star stan Writer

Star stan Writer
persistent shortage of newly
graduated doctors has forced
Washington area hospitals to
import stats physicians from
foreign countries.
-Four hospitalS-Sibley, Doc
tors, Casualty and Alexandra
have staff made UP 100 per
cent of foreign interns and
residents, according to a Star
survey. OF eight other area
hospitals, foreign participation
ranges from 10 to so per cent.
Hospital officials agree that
foreign physicians are needed
to staff the institutions.
Without the assistance Of
foreign doctors, 1t would be diff
ficult to provide the required
medical services" one admins
traitor said.
Reasons Cited
DR.. Herbert p. Ramsey, exec
utive board chairman Of the
District Medical Society, cited
several reasons for shortages
of American interns in area
hospitals:
/. For several years there
have been more internships
available than could be filled
by the number Of students
graduating from American
medical schools.
2. Many interns naturally
gravitate toward the larger
municipal medical centers
and university hospitals, which
maintain well-developed train
ing programs and greater areas
of study.
3. Medical graduates enter
ing military service can usually
complete the normally required
one year of internshlp before
returning to civilian life.
AS a result, American hos
pitfalls regularly advertise for
foreign-train doctors in med
ical journals published abroad.
Others send representatives to
conduct recruiting overseas.
And foreign doctors training
here will always draw a few by
writing to friends at home, tell
ing them of the advantages to
be had.
DR.. Huge F. Keunen, a tall,
blonde Belgian in mis- late
twenties at District General
Hospital, voiced an opinion
common to many in his posi-
ton:
I'm in the field of plastic
surgery. When I started looking
for a training center, I found
that the closest was in Holland.
They told me there would be
a wait of a couple of years be-
fore could be admitted. I nat
urally investigated the posi-
bilities in the United States and
found l could come over"
DR.. Abdul H. Shojania is a
resident in general practice at
Casualty. He said about one
third of his class in Iran came
to the United States to study.
That's out of a total of 800,
he said, adding. Practically all
of us will return to our country,
although some will probably
want to stay here"
Training Appreciated
Another Casualty resident,
Philippine-born DR.. Melquiades
M. Lazaro confessed he would
like to remain in the United
States. I'VE have too many doc
tors for the number of people
in the islands," he commented.
A Fulbright scholar at Dis
trict General said she was
grateful for the equipment she
needs" in her research. She

and others reconstruct the
shooting. Mr.. Lester was seated
at the kitchen table, slipping
coffee. He was fully clothed and
wore a hat, indicating he was
about to take a morning walk.
The ofice-apartfnent is built
on a hill, the front half two
stories high, the one-Story
apartment being at ground level
at the rear.
Bullet Path Traced
Slipping up to the left rear
kitchen window. con e
placed the muzzle of a .38 cali
Der gun at the lower lefthand
corner of the window, aimed at
Mr.. Testers head and fired.
The bullet creased the lower
window frame, pierced screen
and glass and struck the victim
over the right eye. In his sitting
position, Mr.. Lester would have
had his left side to the gum
mans sights. So it appeared he
was starting to rise, perhaps
attracted to a noise outside, and
was turning to the left.
The force Of the heavy bull
let perhaps spun him around
so that his head fell against a
sink about three feet to his
left. This was shown by blood
stains on the sink, at first
leading police to believe Mr..
Lester was injured in a fall.
When the body was reported
found from six to eight hours
later, it was lying on the side,
face down. Mr.. Lester was
clutching his spectacleS in his
right hand.
Accident First Suspicion
Shortly after noon, Saturday
Mrs. Helen Brunger, one of
three Alpaugh sisters con-
nected with the firm, was up
stairs and heard a "gurgling"
sound from the Lester apart
ment.

Wutch On The
POTOMAC
by
Robt. G. Spivack

THE BATTLE OF DETROIT
Sen. Dirksen of Illinois has now
joined Sen. Goldwater of Arizona
in making "Reutherism" a major
political issue for the Republican
Party in 1858. Before long, l
suspect, The White House too
will be joining the campaign
against the United Auto Work
ers chief. Actually some of the
Presidents aides have long con-
Sidered some sort of verbal as
sault on Reuther, but have re-
strained themselves in public -
so far.
Walter Reuther is an enigma
for the Republicans - and may
be for others, too. They don't
quite know what to do about
him. Some businessmen seem to
almost regard him as the single
most dangerous man in America
since FDR.
No one suggests that Reuther
kindles the same sort of popular
enthusiasm for himself h
Roosevelt managed to evoke in
millions of Americans. Reuther
moves in the realm of ideas ra-
Their than trying to win friends
via the personality pitch. But
when you are part of an Admin
stration that regards don't rock
the boat" as a code to live by,
a man like Reuther can seem
downright subversive.
Goldwater and Dirksen appar-
emily are determined to make
the name Reuther as feared and
hated in some circles as the Old
Guard Republicans once manag-
ed to make the words New
Deal. There are many Repubi-
cans, though, who don't like the
way the Observation-Disclosures team
operates. Some are afraid that
the more they attack Reuther,
the more popular he will become.
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1958-03-13

the Administration The Repub-
.licans can't very well campaign
this year on a continuing pros7
perity theme, if they insist that
Big Business can't afford the
Reuther Plan or something like
it, The auto industry can't keep
lacking up the cost of cars and
then complain that their market
is shrinking.
But they are up against some
thing else, too. Reuther is deter
mined to educate" the public
about the argument that wage
increases are the greatest factor
contributing to initiation. price
increases imposed by the auto
mobile corporations have been
up SIS for every 81 gained in
wage increases" Reuther main
tains.
And then he goes on to say,
Arrangements greed for bigger
and bigger profits has been the
major factor responsible for price
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1958-03-13

And worse than that, his profit
plan will win wide ac-
ceptance.
When | watch Goldwater and
Dirksen in action I'm reminded
OF a story l heard in New York
during the Asian flu epidemic.
Two girls were riding in the
subway when one let out a
powerful sneeze. Say" said the
second, you want to watch out
with those germs"
ooh, don't worry about that"
answered the sneezer. I'm so
full of miracle drugs figure
every time 1 sneeze l cure at
least five people"
Goldwater and Dirksen like
wise seem to be deluding them
selves.
IS PROFIT SHARING GOOD?
= There is a Great Debate going
on in Wall ST.. over Reuther's
proposal to share profits with
the auto industry's Big Three. A
similar debate is going on in
union circles. Not every union
leader is enthused about the
idea.
Reuther's plan, as explained to
the Senate Antitrust subcom-
mittee is essentially this: the
union is willing to defer its
equity" in company operations
until the year-end fiscal account
ing shows whether or not there
has been profit. If there has
been solid gain, the union
wants part of it, with provisions
that consumers get a cut as well
as COM any executives and
stockholders.
Reuther himself notes that
General Motors managed to make
a profit in the midst of the de-
preston, when there were nearly
100000 iobless, w h n the
banks were closing down and
when farmers had to protect
their land with Shotguns against
foreclosure.
If. he argues, GIN could make
a profit in those days then the
JAW will take its chances on
cutting up the GIN melon in 1858.
X X X
The argument creates a diem
ma for the auto industry and for
