Some of the equipment that has been In stalled is the first ever made in the field of ophthaniology. An example is the specially designed microscope that was made to order for the clinic for examina tion of infants' eyes. Remodelling Dona Extensive remodelling at the medical school was done at state expense, according to the report, so that funds donated by Elks were all used to provide equip ment and to staff the clinic. The clinic was officially open ed in July of last year and in the first month more than 200 children were given examination or treatment.- In the past five months more than 2,000 visually handicapped children have been brought to the clinic to receive treatment that is available at no other institution. There is a long waiting list for eye surgery and it is growing longer and it is only with the donated services of several ophthamologists that the regular staff is able to meet the demands made on them. Btsi Known Cats Probably the most widely pub licteed case treated at the clinic was that of Mary Hope Hodgdon, a Portland girl whose one sound eye had to serve both her and her blind parents. The clinic de veloped a new type of eye sur gery for her case and it received international attention. With funds donated by Elks, a new electronic laboratory at the clinic will be one of few in the world devoted exclusively to the study of diseases of the eye. The report was submitted at the Ashland session by II. M. Randall, Salem, state chairman of the program tor visually han dicapped children.

Dollar Issue In British Elections By Lylt C. Wilson United Press Correspondent London, Feb. 14 (U.R) The American dollar has become a red hot issue in the British elec tion. Winston Churchill's conserva tives are trying to make the labor party admit publicly that it would have been in trouble except for Marshall plan aid. The liberal party hammers away at the same theme. But the labor party hasn't much lo say about that Issue. Its platform does not mention American aid at all. Its cam paign orators don't talk about it much either. Acknowledgement Demanded Conservatives and liberals tell the voters the labor govern ment's socialist program would have been swamped bv unem ployment, sub-marginal diet and economic stagnation but for aid from overseas. What they demand is that labor's leaders frankly acknowl edge the effect of American aid and, more important, explain how they will prevent economic disaster when the Marshall plan ends in 1952. So far labor has not answered that one. "The generous help we have received from our common wealth partners and the United States has helped us immeasur ably, but It will not long con tinue. Living Beyond Meant we are living beyond our means. Unless we practice thrift and get full production, lower rations and mass unemployment are inescapable when American aid ends." Churchill is sluculnii harder than that. He told American authorities during the war that when peace came Great Britain would be bankrupt. He holds now that only American aid pre vented bankruptcy and enabled laDor io carry on its socialist program. The conservative Dartv cam paign guide auotes half a dozen big shot laborites on how the Marshall plan saved Great Brit ain trom disastrous unemploy ment and industrial decline. But the quotations all are a year or more old, and not from this cam paign.
