SOVIET HEALTH CRUSADE SAVES MILLION A YEAR Enormous Task Faced by Physicians in Nation’s Backward Villages. BY EUGENE LYONS Coiled Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, Feb. 4.—A million human lives, among them 300,000 infants, are saved every year by the commissariat of health, its head, Dr. Nicholas Semashko, claimed in an interview given the United Press. In support of his claim he cited the reduced death rate in the Federated Socialist Soviet Republics—--21 of every 1,000, against a pre-war rate of 27 per thousand. Dr. Semashko started his professional career as a country doctor in the Volga region. Now, chief of one of the most important branches of the Soviet government and responsible for the health of 140,000,000 people over one-sixth of the earth’s surface, he retains the air of a country doctor. Faces Huge Handicaps Cheerful, rather rotund, with a professional-looking pointed beard, he is undoubtedly one of the most charming men in the Soviet hierarchy. But under Dr. Semashko’s charm one senses a hard unsmiling earnestness. As he speaks there emerges a picture of his enormous almost disheartening task. In a country which for generations has accepted the most fearsome epidemics as a matter of course, a country for the most part still steeped in the darkest sort of superstition, a country almost devoid of modern mechanical sanitation, his commissariat is attempting to introduce the latest preventive medicine.

“Evil Eye” Feared “In thousands of villages,” he said, “one of our serious problems is the ‘magician.’ The ‘evil eye’ still is credited with more diseases than the bacillus, and cures still are expected from the local witch instead of the local hospital.” Nevertheless, Dr. Semashko is convinced that great progress has been achieved. There are more hospitals, more dispensaries, more sanitoria, more of everything that conduces to health, he pointed out, and it is only a question of time before Russia will be brought to a par with other European countries in the matter of health. The general level of health, he declared, is undoubtedly higher than before the war. He credited this to two chief factors. First, the peasant now has land and therefore eats more and better food. Second, the general cultural efforts, both in city and coutnry, have led to greater cleanliness. GROWING MORE THIRSTY Beer Grows Increasingly Popular as New South Wales Beverage. Bu United Press SYDNEY, N. S. W., Feb. 4.—Residents of New South Wales are becoming more thirsty, and beer is the favorite drink.
