HINTS SURGEONS MAY BACK U.S. HEALTH STAND

Retiring President’s Talk Is Viewed as Indorsement Of Program.

By JANE STAFFORD

Science Service Writer . NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The American College of Surgeons is ready to go along with the Federal Government or other agencies in plans for providing medical care on a nationwide basis, it appeared today from the address here of the retiring president of the College, Dr. Frederic A. Besley of Waukegan, Ill. Dr. Besley spoke last night. : He did not refer specifically to the national health program, launched amid a storm of controversy at the National Health Conference called by President Roosevelt last July. Indorsement of the program, however, was implied fairly plainly by Dr. Besley when he said: “It is our duty to welcome—not to resent—the interest being shown in high places in the conduct of medical affairs; it shows appreciation of the importance of the work we are doing and can do. “As an organization of surgeons we have before us a great opportunity to throw our experience and intimate knowledge of the problems back of any effort to provide Letter care for the patient, with the insistence that the direction of the effort be placed in the hands of a competent medical personnel. “We in the medical profession are compelled today, for our own good - and for the good of society, to pool our problems with those of other social agencies, to the end that the ‘fundamental factor of adequate medical care may. be a strong im-

‘petus to their constructive efforts.)

“We must maintain a flexible mentality. : “Good health fosters economic self-sufficiency, good citizenship— ‘everything that makes a happy life.”

GEOGHAN IS OUSTED FROM GRAFT PROBE

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 (U. P.).— John Harlan Amen, ace racketbuster for the Federal Government, began an investigation of judicial

corruption in Kings County (Brookiyn) today with the same title of special state prosecutor that lifted Thomas E. Dewey to fame three years ago. Se Governor Lehman appointed Mr. Amen last night to supercede District Aftorney William PF. X Geoghan and take charge of a Grand Jury which will investigate the reported passing of bribes and tampering with justice in Brooklyn. Evidence of corruption has been gathered by William B. Herlands, City Commissioner of Investigations, who requested the Governor to ' supercede Mr. Geoghan, because, he said, some of the evidence touched upon affairs of the District Attorney’s office.

SIX ENDANGERED ON GROUNDED TUGBOAT

SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 18 (U. P.). —The U. S. Coast Guard cutter Morris fought stubbornly through mountainous seas in the Gulf of Alaska today in an attempt to rescue six men aboard the grounded tugboat Macray. . The Macray went aground. last night during a gale which apparently still was raging sufficiently to delay the rescue cutter. . Coast Guard headquarters reported the Morris had not been in contact with local headquarters for hours, but was believed proceeding as fast as possible. The tugboat, meanwhile, was being battered by heavy seas. Her pilot house was swept away. Crew members wore lifebelts as they awaited rescue.

DALHOVER AT TRAIL'S END’

Last Avenue of Hope to Escape Chair Closed by Supreme Court.

MICHIGAN CITY, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—The end of the trail neared today for little James Dalhover, last of the notorious Brady gang which left a bloody trail of murder and bank robbery across Indiana and other Midwestern states. Dalhover paced a cell in the State Prison death house, his last legal avenue of escaping death closed yesterday by the United States Supreme Court when it refused to review his case. The Brady “triggerman,” convicted of shooting State Trooper Paul V:Minneman to death following the $2500 robbery of the Goodland State Bank in May, 1937, was expected to be taken before Federal Judge Thomas W. Slick for resentencing. He originally was scheduled to die June 10. Dalhover, a former Madison, Ind, boy, was an alcohol distiller and auto stealer before he met Al Brady and Clarence Lee Shaffer, his gangster pals, in the Indiana Reformatory. There they laid the plans which resulted in the Brady

gang’s reign of terror throughout the Midwest.

Taxpayer Gets Money's | Worth From City-Paid Bird-Shooting Policeman

She Buys a Dozen Guineas for a Special Dinner, but of Them Escape; Then the Local

Called to Aid.

By Editorial Research Reports :

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Oct. 18—Mrs. F. M. Dillard, of this city, entertained at dinner last night, through the courtesy of the Alexandria police and fire departments. Broiled young guineas, free from gunshot wounds, Mrs. Dillard had made unusual preparations for her dinner

of them, alive and noisy, from down Friday she instructed the boy who birds and dress them, so that they

might be properly succulent. A few minutes after giving these instructions the boy called to her,

trouble. Three of the guineas were safely dead. A fourth was in a dying condition, and eight were variously dispersed about the town— two on the roof of a neighbor's garage, four perched upon the ridge of a Baptist church, and two others strutting on the roof of a nearby tourist home. All were gleefully and noisily congratulating one another upon their freedom. To the boy's agitated question, what was he gonna do, Mrs. Dillard replied, “Let me think.” She went into her house and chose a .22 rifle from the small armory she owns (Mrs. Dillard is locally well known as a huntress) and started to release two of her favorite setter dogs. Then it occurred to her that, after all, this was not quite like hunting down in the country and that perhaps. she had better get the permission of the police. She telephoned to headquarters and explained her plight. The only way, she thought, that she could recover the birds was to shoot them. The policeman on duty said she mustn't shoot. There’s a law against the use of firearms within the city limits,

She Asks Aid

Mrs. Dillard insisted upon speaking to Chief of Police John S. Arnold, appealing to him for aid. Wasn’t there an expert shot among the policemen who could help her? There was. His name is Charles G. Miller, first class private, in plain clothes, because he has been on sick leave, but, with a badge pinned inside his coat. Mr. Miller reported at once, with a .22 rifle with special sights and plenty of ammunition. The . guineas obligingly were screaming to the world at large, so there was no difficulty in locating them. There was, however, the problem of finding a firing position which would not be hazardous to passing motorists or bystanders—of whom a considerable number was gathering. Mr. Miller, after talking the matter over with Mrs. Dillard, said that since the fowl were intended for the dinner table he thought it would be best to shoot them in the eyes. Mrs. Dillard agreed to this policy, so marksman Mr. Miller shot the first bird. It came tumbling down from the roof of the Baptist Church. Likewise down came the second bird, the third and the fourth. Two of the guineas on the garage roof very sensibly took flight, soaring across the stream of automobiles making their regular Saturday afternoon pilgrimage to Mount Vernon. These joined their com-

panions on the roof of the tourist

home. While Mr, Miller was ruffing the birds close by, Mrs. Dillard hastened across the avenue and told the manageress of the tourist home not to be alarmed, but there was about to be shooting on her roof. The manageress, however, was very much alarmed, and refused to permit her premises to be converted into a shooting box. When she found that Mr. Miller was a policeman, with a badge, she gave reluctant consent. Meanwhile, two of the guineas set out for their old home on the farm, some 75 miles down in Virginia. But they didn’t get far, as they made the mistake of flying from roof to roof instead of keeping going.

All Eight Dead

When firing ceased, all eight guineas were dead. Mr. Miller’s first six shots had brought down six birds. Then, the policeman apologetically admitted, he missed several times. He attributed the misses to his recent illness. “I got a little nervous,” he said. The first six birds tumbled down from their high position, but two were lodged on a sloping roof of a three-story building. Mrs. Dillard, having had such success with one agency of local government, called upon another— the fire department—and with equal success. A fire truck, with a great variety of ladders, arrived and firemen went aloft and unerringly retrieved the game.

When the guineas were examined, it was found that six of Mr. Miller's shots had, indeed, found their mark right in the head. Two had body wounds, or, as Mr. Miller contends, “sort of in the neck, but close to the body.” Mrs. Dillaard, a satisfied —even an enthusiastic—taxpayer, presented two of the fowl to the marksman in appreciation of his work. Policeman Miller regards the exploit as an incident in his policeman’s life. He is the official birdshooter of Alexandria's Police Department. A part of his regular duty is to keep such public buildings as the Masonic George Washington Memorial, Gadsby’s Tavern and other historic structures often visited by tourists, free of pigeons and starlings. He attributes his fine marksmanship to frequent target practice held under police auspices, but not wholly to such duty.
