cowboy were reflected by the image of himself an
actor In West Side delcatessen at school football
games and at parties he saw himself as the swash-

When his family moved to Los Angeles, his day

A broad medical service pro.
gram for Haiti, one of the most
needy republics of Latin Amer
.ica, was announced here today
The Medical Internationa.
Cooperation Organization, q
voluntary agency known as
.MEDICO, will organize ano
staff hospitals throughout the
small Caribbean country with
American volunteer physicians
nurses. technicianS and ad-
illustrators.
The organization also will
service satellite" clinics with
a mobile unit operating from
each hospital.
The plan was announced al
a press conference by Ambas-
sador Ernest Bonhomme OF
Haiti and DR.. Edgar F. Ber-
man, deputy secretary general
of MEDICO.
Haitian hospitals will be sup
piled with badly needed equip
ment for operating rooms. lab
oratories, pharmacies and
wards. Medicines and antibio-
tics will be shipped in a steady
flow.
Evening star., 1960-04-13
Wide Medical Proqrom
Is Planned for Haiti

The program is similar to
one established in Laos by DR..
Thomas A. Dooley, a founder
of MEDICO. The hackers say
the key to the success of this
program lies in the fact that
American physicians volunteer
their services to bring direct
medical treatment to areas
where no physicians are avail
able.
The voluntary organization
has established hospitals and
clinics or support programs not
only in Asia, but in South
America, Africa and the Middle
East.
/ In Haiti. the initial project
will be the reorganization of a
l00-bed hopsital in Jeremie, in
the populous lower peninsula OF
the country. The hospital will
serve 10000 persons.
The original staff in Haiti will
include a number of Maryland
ers. Among these are DR.. Re-
mold Llghston. jr., of Baltimore
a general practitioner: Miss
Shirley Ward of Baltimore. and
Miss Shirley Wolfe of the Uni
versity of Maryland, registered
nurses; DR.. Giraud Foster OF
the University of Maryland
and DR.. Arthur B. Cecil, chief
of surgery at Memorial Hospital
in EaSton, Md.
Physicians from Johns Hop
kins Medical School will CO.
operate in a teaching program
on a postgraduate level at the
University of Haiti to help
Haitian physicians acquire the
latest technical skillS. These
local physicians eventually will
staff the hospitals.
The initial financing for the
project was made possible
through a 100000 grant from
the Public Welfare Foundation
of Virginia.
