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.

'ljqpdier has been treated at the gen
eral hospital which specializes in
his particular type of injury, the
army then transfers him to a
convalescent hospital. 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

nothing more can be done for
him. If he is completely recov

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.

Talk of Cabinet
Changes Is Ruled
Out by President
(Continued from Page 1)
Roosevelt for approval.
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.

Importance of Sex
Education Stressed
At P-TA Session
I'Scx education for children"
was the theme of the Ackcrman
parent-teachers association meet
ing yesterday afternoon in the
school,
Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, Mrs. R.
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.

tee, assisted by Mrs. John Gar-
