Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1952-01-01 Chester M. Hampton Connecticut Town Stages Art Show On River Bridge A Christmas art show on a bridge One that requires viewing from amoving automobile at night to be best appreciated, has just been put up here by the town decorations committee. The exhibit displays work by Steven Dohanos, nationally known illustrator, and eight teen age artists. The work on display, depicting Yuletide scenes, has been painted on "Scotchlite," a reflective sheeting that lights up brilliantly under automobile headlights. The key painting was designed by Dohanos and-depicts a traditional New England church under a deep blue night sky. Students from the Westport High School art class scaledDohanos" small water color design to actual size, four by eight, and painted it in transparent colors under the supervision of Miss Vivian Testa, art director. The other panels were designed and painted by the students themselves. Besides commanding a unique location, the exhibit will be seen by more people than ever witnessed any other art show. Over 100,000 cars cross the Sugatuck river bridge on U. S. highway No. 1 every week, compared with an average weekly attendance of 50,000 for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The paintings are executed in a bold and direct style, and spaced so that they create a dramatic effect after dark when the headlights of approaching cars strike them and are reflected back in brilliant colors. Motorists coming into Westport at the slow speeds usually necessary on this most heavily traveled of all U. S. highways have been astonished by the quality of the paintings and their unique setting. A stop-and-go traffic signal on the far end of the bridge also gives drivers an opportunity to examine each panel more closely. USS Monrovia Assigned To Make Trip To Liberia The attack transport USS Monrovia (APA-31) was assigned this week by the Navy Department to make a courtesy visit to Monrovia, Liberia —both namesakes of the late President James Monroe. The ship, attached to the Amphibious Force, U. S. Atlantic Fleet, will visit the African republic's capital in connection with scheduled inaugural ceremonies January 1014 of the Honorable William V. S. Tubman, president-elect. However, the trip is part of the routine employment of Amphibious Force ships of the Atlantic Fleet. The Monrovia, with an enviable combat record made during World War II, was named for "Monrovia", the family estate and birthplace of President Monroe in Westmoreland County, Va. The African capital city derives its name from the late chief executive. Embarked in the transport Will be Hear Admiral Howard E. Orem, USN, Commander Amphibious Group Four, Atlantic Fleet, who will take part in the inaugural ceremony. Liberia, located on the western coast of Africa is an independent Negro republic with an estimated population of 1,600,000 (1946 figures). It was founded in 1822 with a settlement being made at Monrovia by Negro freed-men from the United States with the assistance of American colonization societies. During World War II the transport Monrovia participated in amphibious operations against the enemy in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. She was the flagship for Vice Admiral H. K. Hewitt during the landings at Sicily. Amphibious assaults in the Pacific included landings at Tarawa, Saipan, Guam; Leyte, Lingayen Gulf and Okinawa. Decommissioned in January of 1947, the Monrovia was assigned to the Atlantic Reserve Fleet until reactivation in November, 1950. — Capable of carrying 1,200 fully equip ped assault troops, the 491-foot vessel has a 14,247-ton displacement. During the coming trip, the Monrovia win carry a taken force of 2nd Division Marines from Camp Lejeune, N. C. Current plans include a possible parade during the presidential inauguration ceremonies, and a small amphibious assault by the troops. Following the courtesy visit to Monrovia, the ship is also scheduled to stop at Dakar, French West Africa for a three-day informal call. The commanding officer of the transport is Captain William H. Johnson, USN. New Radio Network Set Up For Vets A new radio network has just made its appearance on the American scene, but this is one the average listener can't tune in on his radio set. Known as the Tape Recording Network, it's exclusively for the benefit of ill and disabled veterans in Veterans Administration hospitals. Many of the patients, confined to their beds, listen to its programs over receiving units placed right by the pillows. In the short time that it has been in operation, the hospital network already has featured special programs by such notables as Jimmy Durante, Burl Ives, Esther Williams, world heavyweight boxing champion Jersey Joe Walcott and others. And in addition, it has aired presentations written, acted and directed by veteran - patients who have the permission of their physicians. The Minot, North Dakota, VA hospital, for example, originated a show called "Minot Varieties," while the VA hospital in Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, produced a feature titled "The Old Country Store." There have been many more presentations from hospitals across the country. The operation of the hospital network is simple. It works this way: A hospital produces what it considers to be an outstanding radio program which it broadcasts to patients over its intra-hospital radio system. At the same time, the program is recorded on tape. The broadcast might feature cither local talent or a celebrity who happens to be visiting the hospital. Next, the tape is sent to the first hospital on a long list of those taking part in the Tape Recording Network. After that hospital airs the program for its patients, the tape goes on its way to the next on the list. The procedure continues until all participating hospitals have had a chance to broadcast the program. Since upward of 50 hospitals are now on the network, the flow of material has been constant. According to F. R. Kerr, assistant administrator for VA's Special Services, the radio network has been an excellent morale-booster amongpatients. Increasing numbers of patients have expressed an interest in taking part in radio activities. This has all been to the good, Mr. Kerr said since such activities help take patients' minds off their illnesses and disabilities.

Parker, Negro candidate for governor, has returned to the city after a campaign tour of northwest and southwest Louisiana. Parker told newsmen that his campaign is "The People's Crusade for Justice" and that his campaign is to call attention to the necessity for improving conditions among Negroes in Louisiana. Getting aboard the Parker band wagon last week was the veteran newspaperman, James B. LaFourche who has taken to the radio in an effort to bag the thousands of votes promised the candidate. Although there is little cash coming in to aid Parker wage his campaign, he and LaFourche were promised by a vice president of the Louisiana Ind. Life Ins. Co., that a half hour radio service over station WMRY would be donated each Sunday for the remainder of the campaign. Daily newspapers are giving Parker's talks and interviews more space than Negro weeklies. Appropriations Bill To Go To S. C. House The appropriations bill that will be given to the South Carolina House next month calls for expenditure of $140,065,516 almost half a million dollars more than was recommended by the State Budget and Control Board. The bill was released Saturday by Rep. Charlie Verner, of Greenville, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Chief differences in the committee bill, as compared to the Budget Board proposal, included: An increase of $100,000 to State A. and M. (Negro) College; increase of $250,000 for the superintendent of education with a proposal that the funds be used for two area trade schools; an additional $31,516 for the tax commission; an increase of $37,000 for Clemson College public service activities; and an increase of $19,500 for the state medical college. The total bill is $376,000 below anticipated revenue.

She meant to seize any chance that appeared to stick a pin in Butcher and Poll both She could—ah-ah! That was what Nicholas had warned her against. Using her Staff position to forward her personal interests. Well, she was interested and personally, in what Peter did, in what happened to him She wished she had asked him to report to her —but maybe he would. He probably would. . . . Peter lost no time in "invading the privacy" of Mr. Yearby. "Get the history and come with me," he told the medical resident. "What "history?" asked that young doctor. Peter stared at him. Dr. Burke's eyelid dropped. "Oh, oh!" said Peter. Then, come on!" After all the fuss, both young doctors were surprised to find that the patient was only a sick old man, not fearsome at all Nor was he outraged at their "invasion." "I wondered if I wasn't paying for a little more attention than I was getting," herald mildly. "You'll get all that's coming to you," said Peter. "I'm the surgical resident on duty—name's Shepherd. This is the medical resident. Dr. Burke, and this is the technician. We have certain routine tests to make, Mr. Yearby. I know they'll duplicate those Dr. Butcher has done—" "He's my wife's doctor. She thinks he's pretty fine." "Yes sir." "Don't you like him?" The faded old eyes peered sharply at Peter. "Do you mind turning over, sir?" said Peter with his nice smile. He made his tests quickly, efficiently, and was rewarded by Mr. Yearby's statement, "You know, I don't object to a doctor being young if he knows his job." "I aim to know it—or learn it," said Peter pleasantly. "We should have told him not to yap to Butcher that we'd been in," said the medical resident. "Why? I'm not afraid of Butcher. Are you?" "Yeah-man! I'm afraid of everybody Especially doctors." "The way I look at it," said Peter, busy with his report, "I'd rather get Butcher down on me than Mac or the manager — or both." "Yeah, I see what you mean. What about that cystostomy scheduled? You gonna let Butcher . . ." "Get out of here, will you?" in vited Peter. "I've work to do. When those tests come up . . ." "I'm stickin" around," said Burke. "I just love fireworks!" But when the test reports came up, be too got a little pale "Now, what you gonna do, Shepherd?" The tests had revealed diabetes, a finding that considerably changed the picture for any surgical case. "D'you suppose he knew?" Peter asked. "I don't think even Year by knew. . . " "He certainly didn't tell it in the history you took." Burke got but his notes. "No. He didn't" He read down the list of illnesses. "Way back to chicken pox. No diabetes. But, golly, Shepherd, any doctor—Maybe that's Why Butcher wanted us to stay out." The young men stared at each other. Peter's head shook. "No, I won't think that, even about Butcher. And I don't love him." "But what you gonna do?" asked Burke again. Peter stood up. "Now, I'm going to take this up with the manager!" he said firmly. "Carry on here, will you?" "Cancel the cystostomy?" "Hold it, anyway. When was it scheduled?" "Ten tomorrow." "Hold preparations." "Yes, doctor. Anything you say, doctor. But you sure have to initial that order!" But Peter was gone. Peter Shepherd, in white linen, his red hair shining, his face young and eager and alert, was in himself a shock to the manager, weary at the end of a long day. Stoetzal, a rather large, bald man, with a pleasant, intelligent face, leaned back in his desk chair and studied the earnest young resident, who was a little out of breath from the story he'd been telling. "That's quite a snarl of string you've brought in here, Shepherd," he said quietly. Yes, sir, I know, but—" Peter gulped. "I knew it was, upstairs, sir, but I decided that the thing for me to do was to follow the rules." "Yes, that's usually safe." Peter waited for him to say more. "What do I do now, sir?" "I don't know." Peter blinked "Of course, I'll have to talk to Butcher, get his side." "But it's all on paper, as it were, sir. The supervisor says his request for no examination was filed here in your office." The manager leaned forward and spoke into, the intercom: then his secretary came into the office for a minute. "No such request on file," Dr. Stoetzal relayed to Peter. He turned to his secretary, "Please get Dr. Butcher on the phone. While he waited, he studied Peter's papers, his fingers tapping the edge of his desk. "Sit down, doctor," he said absent-mindedly. "Smoke if you like . . ." "I'm on duty, sir." When the phone buzzed both men jumped a little. The manager barked into it Butcher.? This is Stoetzal, at Boone. I'm fine, thank you. . . . There's a little matter come up, doctor, a bout a cystostomy you have. . . . I don't think it matters who the patient is, doctor... Yes. ... . Yes. ... My question has to do with an order you seem to have given that our surgery resident ...I know, but a rule's a rule. .. Yes, yes. ... Yea, Shepherd." The manager turned a questioning glance at Peter, who had flushed. He knew what was coming The manager listened to a flood of crackling sounds. "If that's true, doctor, it's a grave charge. You should have brought it to our attention earlier. . . .I see Now, this cystostomy—Our lab report shows—certainly, we examined the patient! We don't open our operating rooms to any patient whose record is ..." He put his hand over the phone. "You can go back on your ward. Shepherd," he said mildly. "Carry on as usual. But wait for confirmation of the orders on Dr. Butcher's patient." At five, Peter was to go off duty for 12 hours. At five minutes before that hour the order came through to tell Mr. Yearby that his operation would be delayed somewhat Peter carried put this duty and joined Burke at the elevator door. "I only hope you get out of this institution," said Burke, "before Butcher arrives. He'll come prepared to shoot on sight." "Yes," said Shepherd, "but I still don't see how I could have acted differently. Though I do feel as if I had a Dear by the tail." To the relief of both doctors, the elevator came up empty. "The reason," said Burke, pushing the button for the basement, "we newhatched doctors don't go running to the manager with every little complaint is that Stoetzal has a nasty way of payin' attention to all such stuff. You're due to hear a lot more from his office, Shepherd. I guess you know that?" "Yep. I know it." "Like as not, you'll have to make a report in person at the Staff meeting." "Oh, Lord," groaned Peter, recalling an earlier Staff meeting. Copyright, 1951 by Elizabeth Seifert. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

MEMPHIS PREP LEAGUE CORNER Now that the ' footballers have hung their togs, the cagers take the spotlight. With the prep basketball season nearing, heres how they shape up for the coming season: Booker T Washington is again favored to cop the prep league championship, a title that the Warriors have been sole owners of It has been said by followers that this year's team will be the best Coach James Boone has ever put together at BTW. The team has Enough dept to supply some to the weaker teams in the league. The Warriors, prep champs and runner-ups in the District and State Tournaments, lost only one man off last year's team, he being William McKinney, crack guard now playing at LeMoyne The team is led by All-State George Millier, (5-10) and William Collins (6-5) These two sharpshooters carry half of the Warrior's offense on their accuracy. Sophomore George Lane who breaks into the starting five on the strength of his great rebounding, will be at center. James Young, a starter last year, will be his understudy. Miller, a jump-shot artist, and Collins, a punch-shot king are stationed at the forwards, getting help from Edward Miller and Daniel Ward. R. L. Venson, stellar guard, holds down that position with Ike Nixon, a fine prospect from Detroit, along with Luther Nolan William Little, your scribe will be fighting it out to be Venson's, running mate. Roane Miller, Clifton Collins and Arther Grundy will be fighting for a spot on the first ten. The team is loaded with seniors, and juniors Miller, Nixon and Sophomore Lane are the only exceptions. Hamilton High School last year's runner-up for the city crown, will furnish stiff opposition to the Warriors, having lost only guard Paul Bradley off last year's starling five, The Wildcats pin their hope around six-foot, six-inch Charlie Williams, the prep loop's tallest campaigner, and (6-1) forward Grant Ford. Williams, one of the league's top scorers, scores consistently on an unorthodox swing shot, which proved deadly when the pressure was on. Ford's specialty is a jump shot from around the charity line Both boys are seniors. 'Bullet" Ingram and 'Skip" Boyd are the playmakers. Ingrain usually draws the opponents high scores as a defensive assignment. The Wildcats are coached by Smith in his first year as a cage mentor. Coach Joe Westbrook out at Melrose is facing a shortage of material, but promises to have ahustling team molded into a unit strong enough to hold its own against the top teams of the circuit. Coach Porter, head man at St. Augustine, is mourning over the loss of Charlie Evans, one of the team's leaders Charles Jones and brothers Earl and Pete Gregory all were starters with the exception of Pete who now attends BTW. The Thunderbolt rooters are banking their chances on Captain Laverne Mosely and Morris James, hoping that they will pull the unexpected. It is doubtful whether Douglas will play, but that is not definite. Manassas has not indicated that it will play this year. Between The of the nations to find the newborn King. In the councils of mankind we hear but feebly the voice of those who would lift Him up and let Him stand by faith on Heaven's table land. The grant universities of our own great nations were founded on faith in God; but in those great universities the teachings of Jesus Chris' and the God who gave him have but a meager place, if place at all. We implore God in the times of distress and danger but in times of peace and security and success and triumph we forget him, until trouble knocks again at our doors. Professedly the church of today welcomes the new born King, but when we consider the hypocrisy and meanness and hatreds and jealousies and prejudice which are harbored in the church, we might profitably ask even as we enter and depart from the Church the searching question, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews?" The nations are fighting today against common evils that afflict the fighting nations. Moral values are being made subservient to racial and financial expediencies. When we see how powerful are the appeals of race and how impotent the appeals of brotherhood we can feebly sense the moral debacle in which the 20th Century finds itself. Where is He that is born King of the Jews? Unless he will have a back seat for race prejudice and human selfishness, he is standing without knocking. We pray it may not be ever thus—the Christmas question. Eleven Cities Selected For "Outstanding Teamwork" Elevencities were selected Saturday as "All-American Cities" for outstanding citizen team work in government during 1951. The citations were given on the basis of "energetic, purposeful, intelligent citizen effort" rather than for efficient municipal administration. The third annual "team" of AllAmerican cities were jointly honored by the Minneapolis Tribune and the National Municipal League. The residents of the cities named helped save their schools, adopted new, streamlined city charters, and through their teamwork routed ward heelers and crooks out of city governments. Cited were the cities of Atlanta, Ga.; Asheville-Buncombe County, N. C.; Boston, Mass.; Columbia, S. C.; Dayton, Ohio; Kalamazoo, Michigan; Kansas City, Mo.; Mt. Vernon, Ill.; Pawtucket, R. I.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and San Antonio, Texas. In naming the "All-American Cities," George Gallup, director of the American Institute of Public Opinion and foreman of a jury of nationally recognized government experts, said: "Citations have been given to communities that had notoriously bad government if their was a particularly courageous and well-conceived citizen effort to change things which, though not yet entirely successful, gave promise of continuing to an ultimate victory. Kansas City, Mo.—backers of merit government including the Kansas City Star, which waged an all-out campaign, licked the old Pendergast machine on a citizen's slate. The citizen group also worked to conquer floods last July and built citizen participation, in government. Mt. Vernon, Ill. - A citizen program of education and action brought adoption of the first council-manager government in Illinois under new state law. Pawtucket. R, I.—Roused toy city scandals, citizens won home rule, and started a fight for a new charter. Philadelphia, Pa. — A citizens committee whipped the entrenched city hall machine, won a new charter and stabilized the debt structure. San Antonio, Texas — Councilmananger supporters won all 1951 elections, and elected their entire slate. Dr. Johnson Among 1,000 Scholars To Do History The world's biggest history writing job will be tackled by 1,000 scholars. The six-volume extravaganza on mankind to cost $600,000 is scheduled for publication in 1957 by its sponsors, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization. Its tentative title is "A History of Mankind." Dr. Ralph E. Turner, professor of History at Yale university, has been selected as chairman of the editorial committee. The author of a two-volume history. "The Great Cultural Traditions," he recently made a 15-month world tour as a Rockefeller Fellow studying cultural conditions. A panel of 75 scholars known as corresponding members and another group of 35 equally eminent authorities to serve as consultants will be chosen. The historian members of the editorial committee and the seven author-editors will meet in Paris February 11-18. They will map plans for the writing of the history and nominate scholars to cooperate in the task. Teamwork will be stressed. Dr. Charles S. Johnson, President of Fisk University, author of several books on sociology and a member of the U. S. group on the International Commission for a Scientific and Cultural History of Mankind, is expected to be chosen as one of the corresponding members from the representatives of 32 countries cooperating.

The Soviet Union's official sports publication said Friday Russia will compete in the 1952 Olympics and called on its athletes to "emerge with honor" as a "patriotic Duty." The magazine "Soviet Sports" quoted N. Romanov, acting chairman of the Cabinet's Sports Committee, as saying "the best of the best Soviet sportsmen are going to enter select Olympic teams." Although the article referred specifically only to the summer games at Helsinki Romanov mentioned winter sports. And in Oslo the Norwegian organizing committee said Russia "is expected to send participants" to the winter game there. But in heralding Russia's first Olympic appearance since the formation of the Soviet Union, Romanov deplored the "backwardness" of Soviet athletes in shortand middle-distance running, high and broad jumping, figure skating, fencing, lawn tennis and women's swimming. The magazine called on Soviet athletes to redouble their efforts in order to be fully prepared to meet the world's strongest ath letes. "It is the patriotic duty of Soviet sportsmen, to emerge from the Olympic contents with honor,' the article said. Romanov asked the nation's physical culture organizations, trainers and athletes to top records "in all kinds of sport." The announcement in "Soviet Sports" said the Soviet Olympic Committee had decided to inform the games organizing committee of "preliminary agreement on participation of Soviet sportsmen" in the Olympics.
