DR.. WHITE GOT the job.
As he writes of it: "If any
one entertainS the idea that
I passed with flying colors,
there is margin for error. I
was the only applicant =. :"
Later, as chief resident
surgeon at Emergency Hos
pital, with a salary of SIS a
month, DR.. White handled
the case of a zookeeper Bit
ten by a rattleSnake. A spe-
cial serum was rushed to
Washington from Philadel-
phia and the patient eventu-
ally recovered, and went
back to his job.
A few days later, two Phil
adelphia doctors informed
DR.. White that the serum
that had been sent was
effective only in cases Of
poisonings from cobra bites.
In those early days at
Emergency, DR.. White also
operated on an ape and once
removed a stovepipe from
around the head of a little
boy. DR.. White arrived on
the latter scene after a run
by a horse-drawn ambu-
lance. As he tells the story:
ION the outside steps of a
small house a man held a
little child on his lap, with a
short section of stovepipe
resting on the child's shoul-
ders. Only the top of the
head was visible, and this
was firmly engaged in the
rim of the pipe. The cries of
the infant were filling the
air.
THE father, holding the
child, was vigorously filing
on the iron rim, with no Wis
ible effect. My experience in
obstetrics at Columbia Hos
pital came to my rescue. BY
grasping the iron rim with
one hand and flexing or
bending the infants head
down onto its chest with the
other, I was able to lift the
pipe off quickly. A great
cheer went up from the
spectators"
DR.. White relates the story
of a prominent physician
who came to town to lecture
on Thyroid Pathology" His
views were unorthodox and
after his lecture a young
doctor differed with the
visiting physician Gin very
uncordial terms" The guest
was then asked, at the end
of the program, if he had
anything further to say. He
stood, looked the young doc
tor squarely in the face, and
said: 81 have always been
very fond of children.

In some classes, little or
nothing about sex is taught,
either because the teacher
feels she is not properly pre-

students are not yet ready for
such information.

many films produced for the

generally unsuitable for school

Workshop Set Up
At the same time the expert

series of workshops were set UP
for teachers and a special
course was offered at DC
Teachers College so that teach

they knew what they were

Education in health and
family living is nothing new in
the schools, but District teach
ers and their supervisors felt
for a long time that the failure
to include sex instruction was
a serious shortening.
I'VE were simply not doing
what we felt ought to be done"
said Birch E. Bayh, director of
the District schools depart
ment of health, physical educa-
ton, athletics and safety. He is
also chairman of the steering
committee that began a study
of sex education in 1856.
The committee began its
work with extreme caution.
Members had seen colleagues
in Arlington get badly burned a
short time before when the use
of a film in the schools resulted
in fight that ended with a
state law virtually outlawing
sex in struction in Virginia
schools.

Mrs. Sarah Higdem and
someone else from Whiteriver
has sent me copies of the new
publication of a paper by the
Whiteriver Apache Indian

the Tribe has progressed to the
point where they can edit a pa
per containing some real news
of the community there. 1t is a
very good thing when a COM
munity can put out such a good
little paper. 1t was most pleas
ing to me to know that the Apa-
ches had arrived at the point
where they could have such a
forward insight in the develop
ment of their small community.
I'm sure their Reservation and
Tribe will progress a great deal
IN the years ahead. ana L WISH
them every luck.
I think I would be quite lost
if | were to return to Whiteriv-
er now when hear of the great
development that has taken
place there and on the Reserva-
ton. I am so glad that it has
been accomplished and know
that it will continue in the fu-

I am enclosing my $l.OO and

HAWKINS OF THE PARIS
HERALD. BY Eric Hawkins
and Robert N. Sturdevant.
(Simon & Schuster; $3.50
Was there ever such a
Paris? 1t was the capital of
a nation that had suffered
unparalleled manpower losses
in World War I, where one
found disfigured veterans
selling tickets at museum
windows. where initiation had
driven the old gold franc
into oblivion and where the
memory Of Verdun cast a
dread spell over politics and
military thought.
Yet to some American and
there it seems to have been
just a playground for lovable
and rich eccentrics, zany
stunts by aviators, week ends
at Deauville. and reporters
whose zest for Harry's Bar
was only exceeded by their
indifference to time clocks.
Mr.. Hawkins was O staff
member of the Paris Herald
for As years, SO Of them as
managing editor.
This collection Of anec-
dotes, some Of them humor-
Gus, others trailing off with
out much point. are his
legacy from a lifetime in the
heart Of Europe during a
grave interregnum.
Much of his journals his
tory was told previously by
AL Laney In Paris Herald,
the Incredible Newspaper"
But Mr.. Hawkins, If nothing
else, has cleared UP just why

French and British veterans.
1t wasn't that the Dough-,
boys were able to push
through the tle-hardened
Germans and win easily
they fought furiously for
every mile they gained-but
they were fresh, eager and
as courageous as any soldiers
have ever been. Many went
to the front with virtually no
training, some hardly know
ing how to load their rifles,
but they were fighters, as
Americans have always been,
and wouldn't give UP.
Pershing had his troubles,
not only in training and
equipping an army Of a mil
lion, but in staving off the
demands of the Allied gen.
eralissimo, Ferdinand Foch.
Marshal Foch constantly de-
manded that the Americans
be absorbed in the French
and British forces, and
Pershing as persistently held
out for an independent
American command. '
Mr.. Stallings' attitude to-
ward Pershing, the austere
disciplinarian, whom the au-
thor calls the Iron Command
er. obviously is counterbal-
anced by his admiration for
Pershing, the superb soldier.
But Pershing never had q
chance to show himself as q
strategist, because he had to
follow Foch's overall plans.
Mr.. Stallings does not feel
that either Foch or Sir
Douglas Haig, the last Brit,
ish commander, was a great
strategist. Ludendorf, the
most able German, had been
shelved toward the last, and
Hindenburg made supreme.
Hindenburg was never very
bright, Mr.. Stallings points
out, and he didn't seem to
realize what was going on
when the final Allied push
got under way.
Mr.. Stallings has recount
ed many exploits Of individ-
ual heroism, some widely
known, as those Of Sergt.
York or Maj. Whittlesey,
others dug out of forgotten
files or the memories Of sur,
viving comrades.

their friendship was two years

Of a serious foot injury which
Shaw sustained and seemed
unable to heal. Charlotte

proposal Of marriage. and was

ner? Janet Dunbar, the
author Of the present biog-
raphy Of Charlotte, does not
profess to hold the key to
the little mystery. Charlotte
had refused the proposals Of
many friends she admired
and loved, and had wanted to
marry only once in her 40
years, but Axel Munthe, the
famous physician, was con-
spicuous among her close
friends In not wanting her.
Shaw considered himself ir-
resiStible to women - the
truth is that this mercurial
man very nearly was. For his
part, whatever we're the rea-
sons for marrying, he never
regretted his proposal-his
wife became the perfect cul-
tivator Of his burgeoning and
ceaseless literary activity. AS
for physical love, Miss Dunbar
says that the popular rumor
that the Shaw marriage was
never contaminated can be
neither proved nor disproved.
Charlotte never spoke of the
matter; the extrovert Shaw
talked Of their love-life many
times-always brilliantly con-
tradicting himself.
Their long married life was
admirable, although some
aspects of Charlotte's per-
sonality Shaw never under

death, he read her long and

for her strenuous husband.
Shaw wittily made high
comedy out Of his epistolary
flirtations by sharing them
with his wife; only his affair
with Mrs. Patrick Campbell
was a secret, although an
open one.
That Charlotte plays so
surprisingly small a role in

THE RAIDER. BY John Jen.

THE RAIDER. BY John Jen-

Co.; $4.95.)
One Of the few glorious as
poets Of World War I, which
was more like a knife fight
in q closet than a passage at
arms, was the brief but bril-
liant career of the German
raider Emden.
In q war blighted by the
Kaiser's Kulturkampf in Bel
GUM, the stupidity Of British
generals, mutiny in the
French Army and the Phoe-
nix rise Of Soviet Russia from
the ashes of the Cars, the
story Of Emden is a rare ex-
ample Of courtly conduct and
a mutual respect between
enemies.
Never was there a ship that
faced greater odds, Mr.. Jen-
nings writes in his novel about
the German light cruiser.
She sailed from the empires
TSingtao base in North China
just before the Japanese be-
seiged the place leaving the
Emden without a home port.
While the rest of the Ger
man Asiatic squadron sailed
toward Cape Horn, the EN-
den steamed into the Indian
Ocean and became a lone
wolf, shrouded in mystery
and pursued by every war
ship In the Allied navies. EN-
ploying radio silence, a false
funnel and the vast reaches
of open water, the Emden
became the scourge of the
eastern seas, Selling contra
band cargoes and enemy
shipping.
Kapitan Karl Won Mueller
and his men staged daring
raids on Madras and Penang,
sank a Russian cruiser, cap
tured untold millions In war
cargoes and cut the underseas
cables at South Keeling Is
land before the Australian
cruiser Sydney ended her ca
reer in a blazing battle.

Except for those old enough
to remember, the lack Of

I seems to be appalling.
Divisions which saw the
heaviest action in the AEF
of the war suffered heavier
casualties than any other
divisions in any American

Including a brigade Of
Marines) had SIS killed or
fatally wounded and 1900

was a young Marine combat

for What Price Glory" the

Anderson. He also did q
Photographic history Of the

its day; a novel called
"Plumes" and many screen

Here Mr.. Stallings has
written the most absorbing,
yet authentic history of the
Doughboys Chose valiant
ancestors Of the brave GIs
Of a later war; ever put to-
gether. He never overlooks
the large picture, what the
high brass was planning and
hoping for, but his emphasis
is always on the average SOL

France.
In the pre-nuclear inno-

At the time Pershing ar

close to winning the war. The
Russian revolution and a

tanned them in betrayal, If
not a normal life.
The tangled story of how
they got David Greenglass,
Ethel'S brother, to obtain
atom bomb secrets while
working at Los Alamos as q
machinist comes out mostly
through trial testimony.
Mr.. Roots reporting of the
trial, at which Greenglass
testified against his sister
and helped send her to the
chair, is less well handled
than his telling of some
other aspects of the case.
The names of Harry Gold,
Morton Sobell, Elizabeth
Bentley and other figures in
the case bob in and out Of
the complicated testimony.
On balance, and with 10
years perspective, Mr.. Root,
in a too-brief final analysis
of the case, raises no doubts
as to the actual guilt Of the
convicted Rosenberg couple.
But he argues that Judge
Kaufman. If he imposed the
