Additional hospitals like this one will pro-side 23.000 additional beds for wounded veterans. By DOUGLAS LARSEN WASHINGTON (NEAl To guarantee Yanks v. i .inded in battle the best medical attention known to science, and to fit them for normal peace-time living again, the government now has a $45,000,000 hospital construc tion program under way. Approximately 200,000 con valescent and general hospital bods will be added lo the 325,000 now maintained by army, navy, veterans' administration and the U. S. public health service. Hos pitals are being put on the sunny shores of California, at pictur esque sites in the Rocky moun tains, in the heart of eastern va cation lands wherever the most beneficial environment can be furnished. No expense is being spared. Navy is now busily turning the , L.K, hnil R,.,k,.l,.v. formerly plush hotel Berkeley Carteret, As'liury Park, N. J., into a convalescent hospital. In addition navy is pushing con struction of a $7,000,000 general hospital in Houston, Tex.

There the most advanced type of recondi tioning treatment speeds his re covery. This procedure also makes available more general hospital beds for the more seri ous cases. Supplementing new construc tion by the army, manv other fa cilities now not needed because of the course of the war are be ing converted to use for conva lescent patients. The most up-to-date equipment is installed in the hospitals. This includes elab orate X-ray, lay-outs, physio therapy devices and exercising equipment for convalescents. A man is kept in an army or navy hospital, generally speak ing, until doctors are convinced nothing more can be done for him. If he is completely recov ered he may go back into service.

Learn to- Remember People's Names And You'll Be a Social Success By ALICIA HART The way lor a shy girl to get nlo the conversational swim I with people who are less tongue- tied than she is to know names. And use I hem. You can always command al lentiop if you'll call that Mr Somebody by his name, and then addi'es? your remark to him. To he polite, the most indifferent man will hear you out, and make a reply. After that just keep llu conversation going. "Or if he's too tough to hold, says the once-shy Julie Stevens star of radio's "Romance of Helen Trent," who vouches for thir. trick "you can use your opening gambit on someone else, win1 may be easier to handle.' Ti' be able to recall names, learn what they are when yuu are introduced to people, which Julie says is easy once you've trained your ear to listen. Until she gained the knack, she says she asked people to repeat names; even spell them out.

U. S. public health service has 6G0O beds for treatment of ma rines. As soon as a marine re covers from the "serious" stage he is transferred to a navy con valescent hospital. In the plan ning stage is a USPIIS hospital for marines to be located in Hawaii. Army and navy doctors predict that the present construction pro gram will not be sufficient to handle all American service men that are wounded. The increase will depend on the course of the war. These figures include only hospital facilities in the United States. Wounded men who can't recover completely in field hos pitals are immediately brought back to America. Hospital fa cilities in the field arc constant ly changed, depending on the lo- i cation and size of action. JULIE STEVENS: Confident. Loyal Star Lodge Has Business Session Twelve members of the Loyal 1 Star lodge met last evening at the Neighboihood club house for a business meeting, and to work on afghans for servicemen's hos pitals. fVizes went to Mrs. Asa Brad Icy and Mrs. Robert Kinne. Don ations were taken to the meeting for the Do-Nut He'. The social mooting was post poned until April 2G, when it will be held with Mrs. C. C.

He also voiced full support for the reciprocal trade program, with Its accompanying export import bank. Will See Soviet Leader He disclosed that he planned lo see Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov while the Russian leader is en route to tho United Nations meeting in San Fran cisco. .'.- ' Mr. Truman said he would be very happy to meet the leaders ol the fighting allies, including Prime Minister Winston Church ill, Premier Josef Stalin, Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek and Gen. Charles DcGuulle. He suid, however, that he had not Initiated any steps toward any meetings with them. His conference drew an all time high number of reporters 348 into the circular presiden tial office. Mr. Truman stood up during the conference and answered the questions with a straight-forward cihectnesx that twice moved a number of tho reporters to ap plaud loudly a rare occurrence in a White House news confer ence. Mr. Truman said, that he had asked Mr. Roosevelt's three sec retariesStephen T. Early, Wil liam D. Hassett and Jonathan Daniels and Judge Samuel I. Rosenman to stay at their posts and help train Truman's White House team. Secretaries Named He announced appointment of Matthew J. Connelly as his con fidential secretary and Leonard Reinsch to help with press and radio affairs. Connelly had serv ed Truman in the senate, and Reinsch was a radio export for the democratic national commit tee in the 1944 campaign. Sitting with him during the conference were Connelly, Reinsch, Early, Daniels, Hassett and Ad. William D. Leahy, who was personal chief of staff to Piesidcnt Roosevelt and who is continuing for the time, at least, in the same role with President Truman. , Discussing the United Nations conference that begins at San man said he had not Dlanned to at- tend the conference at any time. He said he would stay at his desk here where he belonged. He said ho planned, however, to welcome the delegates through a brief ra dio address on the opening day: Someone wanted to know what considerations led him to decide to stay in Washington. In hard hitting phrases Mr. Truman said he had a competent delegation going to San Francis co to represent the interests of this nation and that he would back them up from his desk at Washington. No Lifting of Racing Bar The questioning veered into the domestic field and Mr. Tru man was asked about reports that he would lift the ban on horse racing. The president said flatly that ho did not intend to lift the ban. Then someone in the rear of the room wanted to know wheth er the same thing applied to the curfew, the brownout, and a number of other similar restric tions. Truman answered this by say ing that he thought, they had done a lot of good for the morale cf the nation and ought to stay in force. "Do you mean until V-E day?" a reporter asked. Mr. Truman said quickly, al most curtly, let's wait until V-E day to see about that.

E.Gernrds and Mrs. Guy Greg ory presented the program. Mrs. Gerards spoke on sex education as taught in the home. She said that as children ask questions they must be given satisfactory answers for their level and that many parents need to educate themselves before being able to give intelligent answers. She said if questions arc disregard- I cd once, the opportunity for fu ture training may be lost. Mrs. Harris discussed what is dona along that line in the ele mentary schools and thd high schools. In' the elementary school age group, she said, it is strict ly the parents job, but added that teachers must have an un derstanding of boy and girl rela tions at nil age levels. She must not force unpleasant contacts upon them that leave permanent Ksentment, such as ballroom dancing when the girls are tall er, for an .example. She said teachers try to build up tho importance of family rela tions through the books they read to childicn and guide them on the attitude they take toward home life. In high schools, information on the subject is given by the dean of women or men, in private counciling and through the sci ence courses. Mrs. Gregory displayed books on the subject, that may be ob tained from the public library, and briefly outlined each book. Miss Eva Wear read an arti cle written by a sixth grade stu dent and published in the Chief lain, the Acktrman school pa per, in 102!), which told of the first mooting hold to organize the Ackerman P-TA. Mrs. Walter Bean reported on the recent regional conference, and the roll call determined that 48 percent of the mothers pres ent weie sixth and seventh grade mothers, which gave the picture to Floyd Hill's room.
