C., young medical students are given an opportunity to become acquainted with the problems of the country doctor. This opportunity is apparently arousing new in- terest in practicing in rural communities. During a medical student’s senior year, he is given an opportunity to work with a rural practitioner for a couple of weeks. Maybe he’ll work in a typical North Ca- rolina clinic: one story building with a waiting room, examining room, a laboratory, X-ray room, delivery room, kitchen, and beds for six or seven patients. There will, of course, be out-patient calls to make both night and day. Practicing medicine in a rural community is chal- lenging in that it gives the doctor the chance to see the human side of healing. He learns to examine, diagnose, and treat people as well as having to tussle with all kinds of other problems that come with a country doctor’s prac- THE NAVY’S NEW SUBMARINE ered with new radial-type diesel engines and has a speed submerged than it has on the surface.

HAAKINSON WASHINGTON (® —Bernard M. ‘Baruch told senators today that | more than 20 billion dollars is be- ing wasted on the defense program because of what he called needless inflation. He urged a broad overhauling of the multi-billion dollar defense ef- fort with emphasis on faster pro- duction of aircraft, tanks, guns, and other weapons of war. Baruch, 81-year-old financier and ex-adviser to Presidents, testified at an open hearing of the Senate preparedness subcommittee. In a prepared statement, Baruch joined forces with members of Con- gress who have been urging great- er air power, to match and out- strip Soviet Russia's. Through a series of questions, | Baruch took pot shots at President | Truman, the State Department and | others on diplomatic, defense and | domestic issues. | Without mentioning Mr. Truman by name Baruch protested the White Hluse decision to delay or stretch-out the program for a 143- | wing Air Force. | | And he opposed bringing West ern Germany into the North At lantic Treaty Organization until Western ope is armed and able ing of West rope and at the same time iations over G to put not one foot but feet into a Soviet trap,” Baruch said | He also questioned the adminis tr on decision to d up pro. ive capacity of aircraft 2 nition and other defen er than speed production weapons. qd ive victory in the cold s possible as long as ¢ s hold as terrifying an edge y readiness over the West do today,’ he said hs f d the waste c ulted failure the vast system s that ( ted after the Korean out from now already well founded that we | Though they held Rome De Gas-!

More than 50 per cent of all the foods sold today in grocery stores are below ceilings. Most of the food items selling below ceilings are those items most frequently purchased by consumers in the low ang middle income groups.” The statement said controls are doing more harm than good in the few cases where supplies are tem- | Porarily short. However, OPS officials made clear to reporters that the higher ceilings would not necessarily |mean that prices of all the items | affected would go up. They will vary with stores and public de- mand, they said. The OPS order will authorize higher margins for all retail food stores—both chains and independ- ents. OPS officials said the ,action is mecessary because earnings of the grocers have declined. Affected by the higher margins and ceilings will be some of the! items in this wide range of foods: | Dry cereals, canned vegetables jand soups, pickles, vinegar, olives, | most canned meats and processed | sb such as smoked fish and her- ring, oleomargarine, cookies and | crackers. frozen foods, jams and jellies, canned fruits and others Tuna and salmon are not included. OPS officials said for the most part the increases would run about a penny per item. On some larger cans or items and on more ex {pensive quality foods the i { margins can mean ceiling rises of two cents or slightly more. Al {though overall margins will be | higher, they said in some cases it {may not mean an increase on an individual item War Roundup SEOUL L r Red Korean weste AU.S. Eig Ingrid Bergman Back In Hospital sa’ jer supporters in Texas were really wound up with four. Each put up delegations to the National Con- ventions in July at Chicago, where the question of which to recognize ;must be decided. Conecticut’s , Republican con- vention at Hartford named a 22- jvote delegation and, in Florida, Democrats in a primary elected a delegation with 24 votes. The upshot: Gen. Dwight Eisen- hower pulled within 22 votes of Ohio Sen, Robert Taft in the Re-| publican pre-convention vote-gath- ering. Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia apparently jumped ahead of Mutual Security Chief W. Aver- ell Harriman in the skirmishing for second place among Democrat- ic contenders. Hence, the Associated Press tab- ulation of nation-wide delegate | strength—based on concessions, piedges, instructions and avowed preferences—now shows: Republican—Taft 404, Eisenhow- er 382. Nomination requires 604. Democratic—Sen. Estes Kefau- ver of Tennessee 122, Russell 86%. Harriman 85%. Nomination needs 616. Florida Democrats divided their | 24 convention votes apparently on the basis of 19 for Russell and five for Kefauver. Primary re- turns pointed that way, but were coming in slowly and could change the spread. Texas Republicans met at a Min- eral Wells convention to name a 38-vote delegation. Many Eisen. ! hower backers were denied seats | ‘at the meeting, and they walked | out and set up their own state gathering. While the Taft-dominated con- vention picked a delegation lined up 35 for Taft and three for Eisen- hower ,the other meeting named its own delegation—33 for Eisen- hower and five for Taft. Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts, Eisenhower cam- | paign manager, complained: ‘“Po- litical trickery.’’ Taft-backer Hen- ry Zweifel, Texas GOP national committeeman, said the Eisenhow- | Democrats who had never voted Republican before. At San Antonio, fists flew when Loyal Democrats bolted the Dem- convention to name their 52-vote delegation. The con- tion.guide d firmly by Gov.
