Mexican Boom

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 26.—Finding a place to stay and something to eat are the chief occupations of the all-time record number of tourists flowing through Mexico City. The fashionable resort towns south of bere are equally crowded. : Well-known hotels are’ booked solid through February and lesser ones turn away guests nightly. Tourist agencies that schedule rooms months in advance are getting the breaks. Americans are Mexico-boun@ by train, plane and automobile and the tide of traffic continues to rise. Acapulco, the vacation spot on the Pacific, refuses thousands of requests for rooms daily despite the high rates. Taxco, the charming silver center and a favorite ot travelers, also is sold out far in advance. The country is rolling in pesos. Upper and middle class Mexicans with fat purses compete with American sightseers for room and board at the pleasure spots.

Bullfight Tickets Up to $200

TICKETS to see Manolete, the famed bullfighter from Spain, are as hard to get as world series baseball seats. Yesterday, choice box locations were going at 800 to 1000 pesos, or $160 to $200 in our money. . Forty to. 50 pesos, the: usual ‘price for’ a pair of middle row seats, don't get a tumble from the scalpers. Crowded to capacity, the ring holds up to 35,000 spectators. Season reservations take most of the good sites.

Science

THE MEDICAL picture in China is a graphie example of how much needs to be done in the postwar world. It is doubtful if the average American has

any notion of what the medical situation there is

really like. Even in the comparatively prosperous city of Hong Kong before the war there were only 3500 hospital beds. Since Hong Kong was a city of 2,000,000 people, this meant 17.5 beds per 10,000 of population. The significance of this figure is apparent when we realize that many health authorities feel that the United States, with 97 beds’ per 10,000 of population, does not have a sufficient number. The United States has more than 180,000 physicians and surgeons. In China there are only 12,018 registered physicians. This means that in China today there is one physician for every 35,000 men, women and children,

Disease 1s Widespread , THERE IS no space to mention the complete list of diseases that rage in China. Mosquitoes, capable of transmitting malaria, filariasis, dengue fever and yellow fever are widely distributed. Flies, ticks, mites

‘and fleas of great variety are indigenous to China.

Among the more important diseases are malaria, intestinal infections, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, amebic and bacillary dissentary, typhus, relapsing fever, dengue, skin diseases, pneumonia, influenga, meningitis, cholera, plague and kola-azar. With these infections widespread, one could hardly expect a nation to gain great strehgth until millions are spent on medical schools, hospitals, sanitary measures and public health education.

LONDON —8ecretary of -State Byrnes, in his speech to the UNO assembly in support of the resolu-

tion for creating an atomic commission, emphasized the fact that ‘we entered the race to discover the

secret of the atom “not to ‘destroy but to save civili«’

gation. But if ‘the race continues uncontrolled, the elvilization we hoped to save may be destroyed. And he concluded with the words, “We who fought together for freedom must now show that we are worthy of the freedom that we have won.” Those words were a challenge to the assembly. But particularly, I think, they are a challenge to every individual citizen of every country that fought against fascism—and nowhere should they be forgotten. I hope very much that, at some time, our President will make a speech to us in the United States calling upon us to understand what responsibilities. we assumed through our participation’in the United Nations Or-

ganization. - Cn "In regard to the termsgwhich the assembly adopted for the appointment of the secretary general, there one provision which may. deter a number of men from accepting this position. And yet I think it is a very wise provision. :

Attends Meeting of G. I. Brides

SINCE the secretary general will’ be in close relationship with a great many governments, it is requested that, on retirement, he not accept any gov= ernment position in which his confidential information might be a source of embarrassment to other

motored ships such as the C-54; facilities to promote the use of air travel, such as lobbies, restaurant lounges, etc.; sufficient space for air lines offices and operations) buildings: for adequate aircraft maintenance; complete blind landing facilities. , . . He's going, to be looking for real estate, too, for with all these ideas a bigger airport will be needed. . . . Not satisfied with just four commercial airlines stopping here, he wants at least a dozen or 14 of them to make Indianapolis a terminus. . . . Although his plan is still in the idea stage, Col. Roettger will tell you that this is the first time a master plan for airport improvement has been sed. . . . It's going on paper bit by bit. . . « A pile of blueprints in his office will attest that. . . . The colonel will tell you that Indianapolis can continue to grow or die commercially and that a lot depends on air facilities. , . . He believes cities grow as airfields grow.

Co-operation Is Needed IN SPITE of his enthusiasm over the expansion, Phil Roettger is just a little put out at a few who oppose his plan. . . . He says that to put the idea into the reality stage would require the co-operation and backing of Indianapolis as a whole. . . . Proof that better facilities are needed here, he will tell you, is the comparison of the number of passengers carried to and from Indianapolis. . . . In 1043 there were 76,000 passengers who terminated and originated at the airport; in 1945 the figure swelled to 142,000. . Phil Roettger sees no reason why that figure won’t be doubled by 1947. .. . Before the war, Phil Roettger was resident engineer at the Evansville Municipal airport. . . . He's a native Hoosier, born in Evansville. He lived in Terre Haute for 11 years “and came to Indianapolis when war broke out. . . .

whenever he does get a day off he likes to piddle around in his Basement with woodworking, play a little golf or go out tq the airport and watch the planes come and go. . . . The latter bit’ of “recreation” isn't just his idea, though. . .. Phil Roettger is the proud father of three youngsters and they want to go out to the airport on their daddy's day off and see those planes. . . . Kind of runs in the family. . . . Jean, 15, is a sophomore at Broad Ripple; Richard, 13, is in the eighth grade at school 80, and David, 11, is in the sixth grade there. . . , The boys are real aviation enthusiasts and are mighty adept at plane building. . . . They like to argue with their dad as to the identity of airplanes and, as dad admits, they are often right. . . . The only member of the Roettger family with her feet on the ground, so to speak, is Mrs. Ruth Roettger, the colonel's wife. ,.. . Mrs. Roettger, a Terre Haute native, does not fly and has no desire to. (By Frank Widner.)

Property Prices Soar

RESIDENTIAL construction is proceeding all over town in spite of the cement shortage. It reminds you of the United States during the late '20s. But enthusiasts here say the bubble will not burst. Inflation has hit the real estate market harder in Mexico than north of the border. A physician who paid 30,000 pesos for a new home a few years ago was offered 120,000 last week. There is supposed to be rent control, but newcomers say the evasions are many and ingenious. Blocked streets and torn up sidewalks add to the congestion'in this fast-growing metropolis of 2,700,000. Mexico City is an easy place to get lost in. Driving a car in Chicago, New York or Boston is simple compared with keeping up with traffic here. After you ride the taxis around the city for a few days, the complicated street pattern becomes easier. . Mexicans are alert and fast drivers, Traffic jams are many and patience is a first requisite.

While infections’ and pestilence help sap - the] strength and morals of the Chinese people the inadequate food supply has a weakening influence. The word famine has become almost synonymous with the word China itself, we have heard so much about famine in that stricken land. : :

Transportation Is Bottleneck

MUCH OF the suffering from the famines is due to lack of transportation. Dr. Warren Thompson, in his recent book, “Plenty | of People,” told of a visit he made to China in 1930 and 1931, In the region of the Yangtze Valley rice was being produced in such abundance that it had become so cheap the farmers were going bankrupt. ‘At the same time the people of northwest China were starving by the hundreds of thousands. Money could have been found to buy the rice of the Yangtze Valley, but there was no way to transport it except by coolie and wheelbarrow, “A coolie pushing a load in a wheelbarrow would have to eat his load and a little more while making his round trip to the stricken area,” Dr. Thompson commented. The obtaining of food at best in many parts of China is & hard struggle with primitive implements. In many parts of China the land is so unyielding that it- will not- support both -man and a beast of burden to help him. ’ Most rural families throughout China derive 90 per cent of their caloric intake from seeds and their byproducts. Only about 1 per cent comes from livestock. Dairy products Aare comparatively rare.

Thursday evening, I attended a meeting of about 1000 young G. I. brides. Army officers in charge of starting them on their way to the United States told them of the arrangements being made for their departure, ’ : There was great applause when they were told that shipping was now available, so-that, between now and March, some 16,000 of them could be on their way to join their husbands. Priority No.-1 exists for girls whose husbands are ill in the United States.

Women Should Help Newcomers I THINK it would be very helpful, not only to the young women who are going from Britain but also to those who are going from other countries, if one of our big national women's organizations would mobilize all other women’s organizations to help these girls get adjusted to their new homes. In almost every town and village, there are such organizations. Volunteers could be found who could allot two or three “friends” to each newcomer and ask these “friends” to be responsible for helping the young woman in her first contacts. .I'm sure this would solve many difficulties. 4 For instance, problem No. 1 will be to find a home.

'Sit and Look Pretty’ Styles Not for Mama

By RUTH MILLETT FASHION writers these days are growing lyrical about the “era of romantic femininity in dress” that spring is to usher in. It is to be the dressiest season in many years, we are told. And one top designer describes the spring styles as “clothes designed to sit and look pretty in.” The designers probably know their business—but Mama thinks they have been in too much of a hurry in designing clothes to sit around in,

She has sometimes gone to 20 pair of stockings —and without finding any. The shopping she tries to do for Papa is just as much of a disheartening run-around, «=» eit AND MAMA is still doing all her own work—and with wornout equipment, The women she predicted were going to “be glad to go back to domestic service” haven't yét shown that reaction— and she hasn't been lucky enough to buy any of those beautiful post-war gadgets that are going to make housework a cinch, even though a few of them are trick--
