RUHLAND SEEKS FUNDS FOR FIGHT ON SCARLET FEVER At Least Two More Doctors Needed, Says District Health Officer. 18 NEW CASES MAKE 429 SINCE JANUARY 1 Warm Weather Expected to End Mild Epidemic. but Inspections Now Held Essential. With the number of scarlet fever eases in the city increasing daily. Dr. George C. Ruhland. District health | officer, has called upon Daniel J Donovan, District auditor, for the transfer of sufficient funds to cm- | ploy at least two more doctors. He is THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., Furniture in anxious to have them aid the regu- lar staff in trying to check the spread | of the disease, which is prevalent in a | mild form. | Yesterday 23 new cases were re- | ported to the health office. On | Thursday there were 18 new cases, and the total for March has reached | 169 cases. Since January 1. there has been a total of 429 cases. For the | comparable period last vear, there was a total of only 180 cases. | Warm Weather Benefit, Dr. Ruhland said today the addi- tional men are wanted only until warm weather begins. That. he be- lieves. will end the mi'" « T Until then, however, the staff s wholly inadeq; to mak. i alees sary inspections, in spite of the fact all doctors and nurses are working ' extra hours daily. Dr. James G. Cumming, assistant health officer in charge of communi- cable diseases, has only three men on | his staff. School children, it has been agreed, should be checked daily upon their arrival at the schools, but with | only four men in that department the impossibility of their task is apparent. | The District of Columbia Medical Society has thrown its support to the health officer in an effort to obtain | sufficient funds. The society issued a statement last night asserting the in- | adequacy of school physicians and nurses is dangerously hampering the efforts of authorities. “There are only 12 doctors and 14 | nurses,” the society’s statement said, “to take whatever precautionary meth- ods are necessary in the schools where the disease seems to have gained a foothold. The situation requires ade- quate inspection of the children upon | their arrival at the school building With the present personnel at the di posal of the health officer, this safe- guard for District of Columbia chil- dren is denied. This, in itself, consti- tutes a strong indictment of the in- adequate budget for the District ap- proved for 1935-36. Community Pays Nurse. “One community, it is underflmd,} 1s paying for the services of a trained nurse to help in this inspection serv- ice.” The Medical Society declared the | circumstances place responsibility for spread of the disease upon the in- dividual family Children even re- motely suspected, the society said, should be isolated at once until a physician can be called. The welfare of both the child and the community is involved. The society called particular atten- tion to the mild case in which the child does not appear to be ill enough to be put to bed or kept away from £chool. Such a child. the society added, may become the center from which 8 dozen or more other cases may develop. Dr. Walter H.

The “hobby” exhibit, along with displays of scientific and his- torical interest to dentists, is being set up at the National Museum The gold flowers were created 'by Dr. W. Chase in his dental laboratory. The flowers were first frozen and im- mersed in a fluid mold which hard- ened about them. The mould was then burned clear of stem and petals and filled with molten gold. Almost per- fect reproductions resuited. Inlaid Dental Cabinet. Another prize display will be the in- laid dental cabinet which Dr. D. D. beeckman carved with a 30-cent pen- knife from mahogany and bits of fine wood he collected in Florida. Dr. Beekman went to infinite pains to per- fect every detail of the decoration. He carved two alligators on one of the panels and discovered later he had been working from a photograph of a crocodile. The pattern of the skin did not correspond and Dr. Beek- man discarded the panel, taking his second model from a bona fide Flor- ida alligator Only a few months ago Dr. Beek- man took up oil painting.

Ten days of fear for the family of Representative Edmiston of West Vir- | vain vigil by detec- tives came to an end today with the written confession by William Cor- nelius James, of 613 K street southwest, colored chauffeur for the Representative, that his elaborate tale of a kidnap threat against the family was merelv a hoax to cover up the fact he was late for work. James was placed under arrest yes- terday afternoon, but was released last night without any charges having been placed against him. He returned voluntarily to police headquarters to- day with a signed confession, which he turned over to police officials. He has been dismissed as chauffeur and the case declared closed. James, a native of Norfolk and resident of Washington since 1923, told the Representative a strange tale who asked him a number of ques- tions about his employer's family and the plans of the Edmiston home at 1325 Ingraham street. A telephone call received by Mr. Edmiston from an unidentified man seemed to cor- roborate the tale and detectives were called to guard the family.

HARRIMAN Voices Warnings to Board of Trade to Disregard Talk of Demagogues. PROPER GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL SEEN NEEDED a People Worried Lest New Deal Fail to Furnish Jobs, Says C. of C. Head. Bespeaking optimism for the imme- diate future of business, but at the same time sounding a warning against “demagogues and soothsayers,” Henry 1. Harriman, president of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States, told the Washington Board of Trade last night that very definite recovery has been accomplished and further improvement would come “during the | present calendar year.” Mr. Harriman, now serving his third term as head of the national chamber, appraised the first two years of the Roosevelt administration and declared “proper intrusion of Gov- ernment in business” necessary thing The President, however. the popularity he enjoyed during the first half of his term, said. Through last Fall, he said, people were willing to blame the Hoover administration, but now they | are beginning to wonder what the Roosevelt policies will bring. Election Held Turning Point. “Up to the Fall election of 1934, Mr. Harriman said, “the President had | fully maintained his remarkable popu- larity with all classes of our people. ‘They admired his daring, his courage, his confidence. They were charmed by his radio addresses, and his smile became the symbol of better times soon to be with us. “For the last four months, how- ever, the story has been different. | The people still admire the President | and want to have faith in his policies, but they also want jobs. Some blame | the last administration for the bitter days of '30, '31, and '32. Now they are beginning to wondgr whether the | | New Deal measures will give them work and the comforts of life. “Many are beginning to listen to the soothsayers and quack doctors of the body politic, not with enthusiasm, but because they are told that neither of the old parties has the ability to solve the problems of the day. Work Seen Insurance. “The oracles are speaking in Del- phic terms, and the people are inter- preting these new sayings in the light of tneir wishes. Give them work and wages and the gas bombs of the dema- gogues and the mirages of the sooth- | sayers will be as harmless as the puff | and the thistledown of the | fields.” After reviewing the beginnings of the depression and citing figures to | show the progress made toward recov- ery. Mr. Harriman declared: “It would, indeed, be dangerous to prophesy the exact time of the final upswing in this depression, but I be- lieve there is distinct evidence that the demand for durable goods will become marked during the present calendar year. “I am basing my belief for better | business, not primarily on what !he} administration has done. or has not done, but upon immutable economic laws which indicate that great depres- sions follow rather definite phases of fall, readjustment. and recovery. There are clouds on the horizon; there are | many business problems to be solved; | there are many men still out of work, | and there are many debts still to be paid. Co-operation Held Necessary. “In my judgment, the stability and progress of industry depend largely upon the degree of immediate co- operation which can be had between the Government and the leaders of business, agriculture and labor. This necessarily involves agreement on measures of legislative action and upon methods of administration. “It is my belief that the country at large is not so much interested just in experiments looking toward permanent reforms in our economic and social structure, as it is in action that will bring an acceleration of busi- ness, with a consequent further in- | crease in employment. “Is government in business to stay, and are we really trending toward a greater degree of Government regula- | tion of business? Much as I may regret it, my fear is that it is. * * * ‘'We may, indeed, long for the mpler life that preceded the great war, but we can no more turn back the tides of economic and social | movement than we can turn the tides of the sea: and I think, as busi- ness men, we are not foresighted if we do not realize that the inter- relation between Government and business will be stronger in the fu- ture than it has been in the past. Extent of Control Vital. “The age of power has made im- possible any reversion of either in- dustry or Government to simpler forms of a century ago, and the prob- lem of this generation is the problem of determining wisely the direction and the degree of Government par- ticipation in business and industry. “In my judgment, our people will not give up the advantages that spring from the power to produce abundantly, because our economic philosophy is not yet adapted to its nor will they put the bridle upon productive enterprise be- cause our political economy has not kept pace with it. “The greater intrusion of Govern- ment in business does not, in my judgment, mean necessarily the pass- ing of individual initiative. It should neven mean the dead level of social- ism or communism. It should never mean equality in the division of goods and services. Proper co-operation between business and Government can mean such organization of our eco- nomic life that the population of the country shall universally enjoy a standard of living which they know we have the man power. the natural resources and the ability to achieve. * * * Security Seen Main Goal. “Ultimately, all of the measures that have been enacted or proposed by the administration are directed to one or another phase of personal se- curity. “We may not be in accord as to many of the steps taken to achieve this purpose; objections may be justly brought against this or that measure, devised to contribute to its accom- plishment; but in all fairness we must admit an idealism In the Presi- Gen.
