HOSPITAL GROUP ATTACKS POLITICS Speakers Declare Appoint- ees Are Usually Unquali- fied for Work. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, October 2—A gen- eral business session and a round- table discussion ended today the American Hospital Association’s five- day convention, although many dele- gates planned to take part tonight in Hospital day exercises at the Great Lakes Exposition before returning to their posts in all sections of the United States. Intrusion of politics into the affairs of public hospitals was attacked by two speakers last night at a meeting of the public hospital section of the convention. “The staff member appointed for political purposes usually is poorly qualified and his presence tends to upset morale,” declared Dr. Russell H. Oppenheimer of the Emory Uni- versity School of Medicine and Hos- pital at Emory University, Georgia. Dr, R. L. Woodard, superintendent of Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, Fla., said “Politics has done more to wreck public hospitals than the de- pression.” A plea was made at the same meet- ing by Dr. Samuel W. Hamilton of Bloomingdale Hospital, White Plains, N. Y., for more psychiatric service in general hospitals. Among resolutions adopted by the convention was one asking uniform automobile drivers’ legislation, with compulsory liability insurance. The resolution said a majority of automo- bile accidents were caused by persons unable to pay, and, as a result, finan- cial hardship is worked on the vic- tims or on hospitals which must give free service. Stone “Umbrellas” Found. Seven enormous structures of um- brella-shaped stones have been dis« covered near Trichur, Southern India. They are believed to have been erected more than 3,000 years ago. A column 20 to 25 feet in circumference forms the base of each “umbrella.” Sur- mounting every column are four mas- sive blocks forming a cone. 3 ‘ THE EVENING STAR, "WASHINGTON'z D. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1936. Elements of Force Join to Crush Spanish Masses, Says Lecturer Wife of Painter Says Army, Church and Land Owners Are Seeking to Prevent Higher Standard of Living. Isabel de Palencia, member of the Spanish delegation to the League of Nations, child psycholo- gist and lecturer, has written for the Associated Press her impres- sions of the causes of the Spanish civil war. In private life the wife of Ceferino Palencia, a painter and writer, she has made several trips to the United States and lectured in universities and art centers in 38 States. BY ISABEL DE PALENCIA. (Copyright. 1936, by the Associated Press.) MADRID (Telephoned to London, malled to New York), October 2.—I am asked my opinion on the actual situation in Spain. I could alter the question to read, “What is my theory about the situa- tion at this moment?” Were 1t any other country but my own, I could express my thoughts with absolut: detachment and serenly consider the terrible tragedy that Spain is living through today. To see one’s fellow countrymen launched into the terrible strife against one another, to see many whom one had thought were brothers riven in conspiracy to betray every sacred bond, to use the arms that have been confided to their care for the defense of the common good against their own flesh and blood is overwhelming. And when one considers that every- thing in this country that represents force—wealth, influence, armaments— has joined hands to destroy a de- fenseless mass—there are no words to express one's indignation. Tried to Raise Standard. Even the outward forms of religion have been added to the ruthless army driven against the peaceful popula- tion which for centuries had been farced to live under shameful condi- tions of ignorance and poverty. Why this uprising? Because the republic has tried to raise the general standard of living to & decent level. Because it has tried to minimize the effect of feudal priv- leges, hitherto extended to a few, as prejudicial to the vast majority of the country. Because it has wanted to open the roads to higher culture to men and women of all classes. Because it bas thought it its task, the church has limited its action to & sipiritual mission and deeided not to mix in politics, as hitherto. Because it was decided that educa- tion should be entirely controlled by the state and all Spaniards have the right of a free conscience in all re- ligious matters. Because the lo;ernmr_nt wanted to have religion restricted to the cathe- drals and churches of Spain which it had entrusted to the use of their members. Because the repulic has wanted to limit the action of the army to its natural function—defense of the country. For these reasons, and because with- in the frame of a moderate, legal, democratic constitution, the repulbic has tried to transform the Spanish people intc free, educated and healthy citizens. The army, the church and large landowners, who paid imiserable wages of from 20 to 30 cents for 12 hours’ work, and the rich bourgeoisie, anx- jous not to be hampered by our ex- tremely moderate labor legislation, have arisen against the legitimate re- gime. They rose against the constitutional government and the people, who, hav- ing no defense but their vote, have used it and won. They rose, while swearing they were faithful, in a vast net of betrayals which covered the whole country. They rose believing the people would give in under the pressure of a “fait accompli.” This would have been the establish- ment of a military dictatorship. Strange to say, they forgot the qual- ities of their own race. Spain—the real Spain—unarmed and lacking every element of defense, rose too and literally with tooth and nail fought for its liberty. As the people have wrested towns from the enemy, they have been enabled to obtain arms. A vast plan of governmental reorganization is going on and women are olaying an important rcie in this important task. In Madrid alone before the rebel- lion, 25,000 children went without education because there were not suffi- cient schools. Countless men, women and chil- dren begged in the streets and the so-called charitable institutions were very deficient. But the women of the Popular Front parties have laid their hands to the job and already Madrid is free from ‘beggars and children with improper homes are being looked after well in the new institutions. Innumerable convents, which were used by rebels as arms deposits, and aristocratic palaces, which have been closed for years as a boycott against the republic, now have been turned into homes, schools, hospitals and sanitary headquarters. But this is not all. The voluntary army of men and women of all ages and social category had to be equipped with food and clothing and the gov- ernment is making a gigantic effort to meet the emergency. Women are helping in this, too. A central committee controls and helps all the groups of women who are anxious to do their share. They will share in victory with the men. Their great contribution to the cause is a supreme gift of young life offered at the front. Saddlery and TRUNKS-*T.e Repairing of Leather Goods G. W.King, Jr., 511 11thSt. N.W.
