She invites Harvey U she Esterbrook home for dinner. Her father, the owner of a war plant, takes a fane to him and asks him to come oat to the plant and address the workers.

The woman asked about her back ground, her education; outlined some of the things to be faced. Then came a physical examination. Another hour passed. And then It was all over.

Barber's Observations Shortly after Joey's fifth birthday he began asking his mother, "Will I be old enough to go to school tomorrow?" Every day he asked it. It didn't help any to have boys a year his senior start to school and tell him of the games they'd played and the things they d done with colored paper, scissors and crayola. Sometimes teacher had given them a party. At such times Joey's morale was pretty low. The little first graders would come prancing by, gay peaked caps of paper on their heads and smudges of something gooey still loitering about their com placent mouths. Sometimes they wouldn't stop; sometimes they did. Joey didn't know which was the worst not to hear about the party and almost die of curiosity or to hear about it and almost die of envy. Then Joey was six. His mother took him to the school room, In troduced him to the teacher and left. Joey wished school would begin. It didn't. Not the paper cutting game playing school he'd pictured. Ho wiggled im patiently in his seat waiting for It to begin while teacher asked questions and made marks on some little cards. After while they were marched outside. So that was school! He guessed the war had changed school as it had so many things. He took a drink at the fountain. He saw other boys chinning themselves on some bars. He chinned a few times and went home. His mother thought It little early for his return; Just ten thirty. But then this was the first day. Whm the asked him about what he'd done at school, he didn't tell her how It had really been. Instead he gave her an ac count of how he thought it should have been, wishful think ing becoming reality to him. First, they'd cut things out of colored paper and used crayolas. inen tney a had a party; ice cream and everything. Just tell ing about It inspired Joey to further feats of imagination, each more wonderful than the last. The telephone rang. Had Joev come home, teacher wanted to know. He had, his mother said. But why had he left at recess, teacher further inquired. Mother looked reproachfully at Joey but he'd gotten the import of the message and was already on his way Dack to school. Maybe the kids were even now cutting coiorea paper ana using cray- oias. ne wished some one had told him about recess; whatever It was, it had cost him a lot of time. ' By Nick Bourne United Press Correspondent Richmond, Cal., Oct. 7 OJ.P) Seventy-five doctors work nine-hour shifts, six days a week ministering to workers ai the four sprawling Henry J. Kaiser shipyards here. Workers pay SO cents a week out . of their paychecks for al most unlimited medical and hos pital care, are assigned to a ohy- sician instead of choosing their own private doctor, in a nractice which the American Medical as sociation questions. The health plan, admittedly a wartime necessity, has brought together a group of doctors whose nucleus is young medical school graduates, engaged, in mass-meaicine to bolster ship production. Glad To Do Job Some of them expressed anxi ety over the break with tradi tion; others were proud to be pioneers "on a new frontier of science"; all declared they were glad to do the job for $430 to $1,000 a month. Here is what the doctors on the job here think of the experi ment. Dr. William W. Saunders, X ray department head: " Outside" doctors don't like it, it's against the AMA tradition to have patients assigned to a doctor, but we believe doctors can assign a doctor to a patient more accurately than a patient can pick a doctor because of personal preference. We have little time for bed- side manner,' can't be dinloma- tlc, but are as sympathetic as possible. Many of these workers would be unable to get other medical attention." Dr. Richard W. Moore, 33, field hospital medical director: I think most people realize there will be a change in medi cal practice after the war. This is the biggest experiment in pre paid medical care and we be lieve in it." Chief Sees Meed Dr. Cecil C. Cutting, chief sur geon: . This was conceived as a war time emergency measure, but if it proves a satisfactory solution to the nation's medical needs, it should continue and increase after the war. "From the doctor's standpoint, the principal features are that the doctor does not have to be a business man; has a close con tact with associates in his own special' field; doesn't have to worry over making a living or the patient's ability to pay his rem, nis nurse, for his equip ment; we can take each case to its logical conclusion regardless of cost. "We don't have to sell any thing except medical attention and are free to encourage re search, progressive ideas, get the best facilities." U. S. Cold Loan On Road to Chungking Chungking. Oct. 7 (U.PJ A Chinese government spokesman fuuiuuiiccu maay mat arrange ments have been completed for a $200,000,000 American gold man to tnina, and that the bul lion "presumably" Is en route to this country. Negotiations for a similar loan from Great Britain have not yet been concluded, the spokesman said, because a num ber of details still were to be settled. TWO KILLED, TWO TAKEN AFTER BOWIE ESCAPE Camp Bowie, Brownwood, Tex., Oct 7 (U.R) Killing of two military prisoners at Bren- ham and the capture of two others last night three miles east of Goldthwaite, Tex., accounted for the last of eight men who escaped Monday from Camp Bowie after overpowering four armed guards, public relations of ficers announced today. 8HARE8 OAKES ESTATE Nassau, Bahamas, Oct. 7 (U.R) Nancy Oakes De Marigny, whose husband is scheduled to go on trial Oct. 18 on charges of mur dering her father.
