Pittman Says Senator Sees Need of Preparation Along All Lines at Once Events in Europe today should serve to warn this country of the time required to prepare for na- tional defense and “the absolute necessity of the United States com- mencing such preparation along ail | lines at once,” Chairman Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee declared last night. Asked if he regards Germany's back for the Allies, the Nevadan replied: “The events in Norway have tended more to injure the prestige of Great Britain rather than to have had any lasting, material effects upon the result of the war. In con- sidering the ultimate result of the war, we must remember that the : nation or nations controlling the sea ;have never been conquered. It has been urged that the great develop- ment of airships raises a doubt as to the dominant position of navies. | That question has not been in any | sense determined by the war in Norway.” | Taken by Surprise. Senator Pittman said apparently the British government and navy were taken entirely by surprise and that it is evident also the German | government “had made every prep- | aration for such invasion.” 4| “It had armed forces in the guise | of sailors upon merchantmen in every Norwegian harbor, prepared to take possession of such ports in- | stantly upon the German invasion through Oslo,” the Senator con- | tinued. “The German air forces { demonstrated their effectiveness in battle where not opposed by other air forces and materially aided in the invasion. There has been no demonstration, however, in the war in Norway of the effectiveness of | airships against battleships. Nor- | way has a rugged coast with few | harbors and British landing forces | were intercepted by land armament in such ports in possession 6f the Germans. “Until it is demonstrated that air | fleets can successfully combat with | water fleets, we cannot successfully | assert that nations who control the | | seas can be conquéred. | Problem of Materials. | “It cannot be denied that if Ger- | many consummates the conquest of Norway and domination over Swe- | den that it will be of great material value to Germany, nor can it be | denied that if Hitler is able to | dominate the Balkans that he will | acquire great additional strength | The proble mstill exists, however, |as to whether sufficient raw ma- terials could be obtained in the Bal- ;kans in time to materially benefit Hitler. It takes time and capital ‘to develop and transport raw re- | sources.” Senator Pittman said he did not | think developments in Norway | should cause this country to con- | centrate on air defense rather than through its Navy.

Everett, executive secretary of the Social Hygiene So- ciety, said last night at its 22d annual dinner in Barker Hall. | He charged that less than half| the new patients are given an edu- cational conference, and that the average time spent on each new case is “only from three to five | minutes.” | Mr. Everett said the result was! that 12 per cent of new syphilis patients and 20 per cent of new gonorrhea cases discontinue treat- ment within a month of their ad- mission to the clinic. “Of these patients who lapse from treatment approximately 80 per cent are dropped from the active clinic rolls at the end of three months. This great inadequacy in | case holding means suffering, dis- ability and death for many infected individuals and increased expense i to the taxpayers, who pay bills for dependents left penniless and for institutional care of those whose bodies are wrecked or minds shat- tered from the late manifestations of untreated syphilis.” he stated. Would Treat 39,000 Annually. “For every $10 spent for the in- stitutionalization of insane syphilit- ics here only $1 is spent for the prevention of such tragedies,” he said in calling for a program of treatment for 30,000 patients .an- nually rather than for the 5,000 now treated by both private and public sources. Dr. Hugh H. Young of Johns-Hop- | kins University, a pioneer social hygienist, gave the Sanders me- morial address, speaking on the health and efficiency of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force of 1918-9. He said on arrival of the A. E. P, abroad it was found that the British | took social disease as “a proper | pennance” for misconduct. The | Canadian concept was similar to | our own, he said in stating that the by a United States preacher. The French, Australians and New Zealanders took the disease as & matter of course, whereas the American medical staff fought the venereal disease for what it was and took practical and prolonged action to prevent and cure it, he said. U. S. Treated Cases at Front. The American system was to keep patients near their posts and con- tinually under treatment until cured. The other forces sent cases to the rear with the result that many soldiers voluntarily took the disease to get away from the front. Later, he said, the American system was followed by other allied forces with gratifying results. Dr. Young remarked that no syphilic cases were permitted to return home after the war until cured. Hence, he claimed, the 2,000,000 soldiers returning were “probably the greatest body of healthy men the world ever has seen.” Those elected to the Board of Directors for 1940-1943 terms were Bircir E.

Health Department's |Man, Suspecting Baby Mixup In 1911, Seeks ’ By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, May 4—A well-to-do T1-year-old Alaskan sourdough, who long has harbored a suspicion that a Seattle hospital gave his wife an- other woman's baby by mistake 29 years ago, disclosed today that he was searching for the “baby” he believes to be his true heir. The father is H. L. Stull, who went North to Alaska from Stoddarts- ville, Pa,, in the 1897 gold rush. The tall, blond boy whom the stocky, dark Stulls reared died 10 years ago. Mrs. Stull died last Oc- tober without her husband ever hav- ing voiced his suspicions to her. After her death he started his quest. This was the story Mr. Stull re- lated to reporters who interviewed him after his arrival here for a month's stay en route to Alaska: The excited father rushed to a little Seattle hospital on January 14, 1911, True Heir’ “You have a fine baby,” the doc- | tor told him.. “His head is almost | as big as mine.” | At the same hour a baby boy | was born to a Scandinavian woman | in a room adjacent to Mrs. Stull's. | A nurse showed Mr. Stull a baby | with large head and black hair, he | | said, “a family characteristic.” | “She hesitated and said, ‘No, it's | | the one over here.” Then she showed { me a baby with no hair. I wondered then if she were sure.” Parental pride and affection over- | | shadowed any doubts. “We loved | him so much that we wouldn't have parted with him even if we knew there had bene a mixup in babies.” | Now Mr. Stull's aim is to find the | identity of the Scandinavian mother | But the hospital long since was closed and the records disappeared. | The attending physician, the woman | who operated the hospital and the | | head nurse are dead. | Rumania Softens Attitude Toward Iron Guards Action Is Held Realization Germans Held Best Cards In Norwegian Game By WALTER DURANTY. BUCHAREST, Rumania, via Paris, | May 4 (NANA, by radio)—Al- though the rumor-crop in Bucharest continues to flourish like a green bay tree, there has been a decided lessening of tension in the last three days. stand, depends upon two circum- stances—external and internal. Externally, of course, the pressure comes from Germany because the | = allies are either too weak or too un- wise to attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of this country. The Germans, on the other hand, ai not unnaturally anxious to capitalize their Norgewian success. For them there is only one problem, how to increase their exports from Ru- mania of oil and other products, which they need. But the Germans understand that this is a problem of transport rather than of politics, and, therefore, it is not in their in- terest to attempt to force Rumania more than “the traffic will bear” in the most literal sense of the phrase. Rapprechement With Iron Guard. Nevertheless, external events can- not fail to influence Rumanian in- ternal policy. The rapprochement between the central authority and the Iron Guard, or former Fascist party, which was suppressed last year in blood and imprisonment 1and has recently been released and | (¢ more or less a specula- amnestied, must to some degree represent the realization by the said central authority that Germany’s cards in the Norwegian game were better than those of the allies. Tre question remains how far this rapprochement will go: that is to say, whether it might involve, as some people here believe, consid- erable changes in the Rumanian government. During recent days there has been a lot of exaggerated talk about a “plot” the Iron Guard- ists are supposed to have instigated. Nothing could be more ridiculous because why, when they have at least three chances in ten of getting into the government, should they upset their applecart by an un- timely plot? It appears there have been some arrests these days in Bucharest, but the people arrested were not Iron Guards; they were members of par- ties who wish to cause trouble for the Iron Guards and reduce their 30 per cent chance of entering the cabinet to zero. Fear Guards’ Revenge. As 1 wrote in earlier dispatches, much of the internal nervousness is due to the fear of those now in power that the Iron Guard, should it be admitted to a share in the di- rection of affairs, might use their new authority to avenge itself upon them because they were responsible for its bloody suppression last year, It was, I think, in order to fore- stall such & possibility that this “plot” was arranged. As far as the eye can discover the arrangement has not been successful and matters stahd today where they were 10 days ago, that is to say, King Carol remains free, if he sees fit, to re- arrange his cabinet. In the meantime external events have given an extra start in favor of Germany, and it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Georges Bratianu, who passes as & Germano- phile, may enter the cabinet to re- place one of its members who is con- sidered friendly to the allies. ‘There may be an iron guard mem- ber also, which would be regarded too as & step in Germany’s favor. Or perhaps no changes at all—I said before the odds were one to three and that therefore it is more reasonable to suppose there won't be changes. Yet somehow one thinks there will be a change.
