Community Auditorium, ADENAUER NOW BACKS BRITISH ARRESTS Chancellor Konrad Adenauer recently’ reversed him- self and approved the recent arrests by the British of seven West Germans planning a restoration of a Nazi-type gov- ernment in Germany. A week earlier the Chancellor had said there was no danger of the Nazis returning to power and had declared that the Bonn Government would have arrested the men if it had had material justifying such arrests. F Evidently, the British provided Adenauer’ with suffi- cient information to change his mind about the danger from Nazi-type parties and organizers. The Chancellor might also have been disturbed by the wild rumors and lies spread by would-be Nazis concerning the arrests. Even some of Germany’s leading newspapers played up the ar- rests as part of a British plot to stop Germany’s economic recovery. ; Of course, such accusations are absurd and the Chan- _cellor evidently saw that his attitude was playing into the hands of the extreme Right in West Germany. He thus an- nounced,-a weeK late, that he knew the wild rumors to be untrue'and defended the British arrests of seven Nazis ac- cused of plotting to restore a Nazi government in West Germany. Such vascillating is an ill-omen for the future of the Adenauer Government and a poor commentary on the Chancellor's awareness of the situation in his own country. DEWEY AND HALLEY The City of New York continues to be the scene of un- dignified charges between. gangsters, city officials and state officials. The latest undignified exchange was be- tween an aide to Governor Thomas E. Dewey and City Council President Rudolph Halley. Mr, Halley evidently did not think Governor Dewey was allocating a large enough sum of State funds to the City of New York. Evidently Governor Dewey has been displeased by the way city officials have managed New York City’s affairs for some time, as have other citizens. The upshot of it all was that Halley accused Gover- nor Dewey of “ruthlessly playing politics with the needs of our city.” The statement was issued from City Hall and brought the following reply from Harry J. O'Donnell, Governor Dewey’s press secretary: “Mr. Halley is as stupid and ignorant as he is shallow and venomous.” This little tidbit indicates that not only do pier gang- sters and other gangsters have disdain for New York City’s officials, but that Governor Dewey also looks upon the city’s government with less than bristling ‘pride. Any.man’s wife can tell him exactly how success should have been achieved by him and why it has not been EATZ “ANO THERE'S & DISTINCT CAMPAIG:: AGAINST THAT eA / THE WASHINGTON S™ LONG-ESTABLISHED INSTITUTION, COCKTAIL NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO NECESITAMOS MEDICOS, Es una terrible epidemia de gripe, la que esta azotando a nuestra poblacion. Hay hogares en los cuales todos, hasta el gato, es- tan bajo los efectos de tan moles- tia dolencia. Es ahora cuando se comprende lo necesario que es pa- ra Cayo Hueso, obtener los servi- cios de varios médicos mas. Los que actualmente prestan sus servi- cios en la localidad, apenas ‘si tie- nen tiempo para atender sus asun- tos privados, ante los constantes requerimientos de los nuevos ca- sos de gripe, sarampion y otros males, que van tomando el ca- racter de serias epidemias. Ello a pesar, no comprendemos el por qué de cierta oposicién a la entreda en Cayo Hueso de otros doctores en medicina. La profe- sién de médico tiene mucho de sacordocio y aunque las _necesida- des de estos tiempos modernos que corremos, traen aparejadas deter- minadas exigencias, algo debiera de quedar de aquellos tiempos en que los médicos entraban en las casas de los enfermos, mas con la idea de curarles, que de obtener el precio por sus servicios, Hace mucho tiempo que nuestra Ciudad adolece de la falta de mé- dicos. Por una u otra razon, han pasados los meses y hasta los ahos y no hemos podido lograr que aqui se instalen varios meédicos mas. Por otra parte, los que inten- tan pasar por el Board para lo- grar la licencia que les permita ejercer; tiene que encomendarse a todos santos del calendario, por el ‘numero de preguntas y de temas a resolver, en unos ejercicios de los que pudiera salir mal parado uno de los propios Hermanos Ma- yo, si se hubiese sometido a ese ri- guroso examen, No nos explicamos el por qué de tanta exigencia para el ejercicio de una profesién en la que interviene algo tan sagrado, como la salud publica, En vano se han hecho gestiones por algunas instituciones locales y clubes civicos. Todo ha overwhelming sido inutil, ante las exigencias del Board y ante determinadas oposi- ciones, muy injustas por cierto. Entendemos que todo profesional, tiene el sagrado derecho de ob- tener paga suficiente por sus ser- vicios. Ello es de justicia. Pero, volviendo al revés esta medalla, hemos de decir que todo enfermo!| tiene tambien el sagrado derecho, cuando lo necesita, de contar con los servicios del médieo, Y aqui, a pesar de la buena voluntad que tienen los profesionales de la me- dicina actuantes, a veces, para evar a cabo una visita, trancu- rren diez y hasta doce horas, sin que hayan podido hacerlo, con de- Esto podria evitarse si existieran aqui mas profesionales de la medi- cima.

Y en es- tos easos, los médicos de Cayo Hueso, cumplidores hasta la exar geracién en el ejercicio profesional de su carreta, no pueden dedicar ese tiempo al paciente, que con- fiado en la eiencia del médico de la familia, espera impaciente la llegada del doctor. Los familiares, muchas veces, injustamente, echan sobre el médico la culpa de estas anomalias, que en-realidad, no de- bieran ocurrir. Pero, no es preci- samente del médico la responsa- bilidad, sino de aquellos*que por defender un derecho hasta la efa- geracién, han dado lugar a que sea imposible para un galeno ob- tener su licencia para ejercer en Florida, aunque éste sea uno de los mas reputados del.

YORK #—Ladies, do you feel doomed? Is he female of the human species on the way out? This fascinating possibility of a womanless world is no meer- schaum dream puffed up by a mere grumpy old male. The average man today may have his grudges against the un- fair sex. But his attitude toward women is pretty much that of a sportsman toward racehorses: he would like to improve the breed— not abolish it. Are such efforts to achieve the better woman too late? A pioneer lady commentator apparently be- lieves it is. “Women, who have brought this fate on theselves, are on the way out, like other biological caprices of the past,” wrote Inez Robb, noted war-of-the-sexes corréspon- dent and long one of the feminist movement's leading stateswomen. “We women are simply terrible . + « not worth a fraction of the time and reform efforts lavished upon us by the opposite sex.” Predicting the tension between the sexes would end in the com- plete elimination of the present female sex—at least as we know it today — Mrs. Robb gave this gloomy forecast: “Like all species that have re- fused to adapt, we are on the way to oblivion. It is inevitable that man, creator of the atom bomb and the mechanical brain, will eventually invent a more satisfac- tory something to replace women.” Such a glum outlook sounds like heresy to the ordinary American male, who stubbornly clings to the ; theory that with proper care and training a good man can turn al- most any modern woman into a human being. And a scientist I ting the cart before the horse. “Science will never develop a satisfactory substitute for women,” he said flatly. “Where would you start? It works the other way around. It was by studying women that science got its ideas for the harrow, the phonograph, the atom bomb and the mechanical brain. |,» ‘But ,eross-breeding these inven- tions wouldn’t create a desirable atz woman. You'd just have dy- namie chaos with an electronic feminine accent.” Other male authorities contest Mrs. Robb’s theory that women are in danger of vanishing. “The sex does have its fossil forms, but I see no signs they are dying out,” said one anthropolo- gist, who preferred to remain an- onymous. “Actually women are flourish- ing more in this civilization than the boll weevil. There are more of them all the time, they are living longer, they control more money, and they are growing bigger and stronger. Haven't you noticed how much easier it is for them to push a man out of the way now than it was 10 years ago?” “Wives are certainly getting more historical every year. But And a husband I consulted said: “Wives are certainly getting historical every year. But ‘extinct? No! Most of them haven't even caught their second wind.” But the most interesting sum- mary of the whole matter, I felt, came from a_ white-haired old bachelor who said: “Son, the easiest way to kill a woman is with flattery.

The women of the State would find it difficult to secure a more capable, sincere leader than Mrs. Harvey. There isn’t a male poli- ticilan who could run against her without finding himself seriously handicapped. To begin with, Wilhelmina would |Probably base her candidacy on honest issues that need to be clear- ed up. She isn’t a politician in the modern, degraded meaning of the word. Rather, her public talks in the past have shown that she pos- sesses a statesmanlike attitude to- ward politics and that her primary interest is in the general welfare of the people instead of specific selfish causes. At this stage of the game, it might appear laughable to think that a virtuous, honest program would stand a chance against the old-line politicians with their mud- slinging, rabble-raising procedures. The general tendency of the voter is to shy away irom such mud- slinging candidates, however. Many a man has lost an election because he chose to ridicule his opponent rather than present a con- structive program, If Mrs. Harvey enters the race, the situation won’t be without its humor, One of the first planks she has mentioned regards equality be- tween the sexes. i'd suggest that she forget the word “equality” for the time being and remember that this is the South. The very fact that she is a woman means that even as a gubernatorial candidate, the men will see that she is treated gallantly and with every respect due her sex. Onve she has won the election there will, be plenty of time to lower women down to the level of men or raise men up to the heights of woman -- which- ever procedure would be necessary in her opinion to secure “‘equality.” But the column is getting off the subject. The object for today is to wish Mrs. Harvey luck and offer her our support if she should enter the political field. Dick Tracy Yesterday I assumed the role of Tracy, master - detective.
