Judge James T. Halli- nan, New York, chairman or the commission, informed fcxan ha nnior Ksnoln that the pro gram was timed deliberately to provide a powerful answer to the Marxist May day demonstra tions. Affirm Basic Truths "Native communists and fel low travelers, who add up to far less than one per cent of the people of this country, are doing their best to undermine the United States on orders from the Kremlin," Kengla said. "Nearly everyone in this tiny group hates the basic truths up on which this country is founded that each and every human being is a child of God, created in His own image; that he gets his fundamental rights from God, not from the state, and that the chief purpose of the state, as our founders repeatedly af firmed in the Declaration of In dependence, is to protect these God-given rights. "The month of May was se lected for the Wake Up America campaign because that is the time when those who seek to destroy freedom and opportu nity hold their rallies. Wc feel that our order, founded upon charity and love of mankind, should meet this challenge, and we are going to meet it. The Elks of Medford along with our million brothers from coast to coast will use this opportunity to reveal the truth where America's enemies spread false hood, to maintain order where lt,nra BnamiDi snrpari milflision. and to offer love of our fellow men Instead of the hale ano lear nrantiharl hv MmiYllin ists." Exalt- ed Ruler Kengla declared. Asked To Join He said that Emmett T. An derson, Tacoma, Wash., grand ealted ruler of the Elks, has sisked each of the order's 1,540 lodges over the country to join fully in the crusade "to quicken the spirit of American patriot Ism." , , , Kengla said that he had ap pointed a committee headed by Franklin Van Pelt to take charge of the Wake Up America day activities, which will be held .imtiitanMiulv with the Armed Forces day program on May 20. The entire community is invited n nDiinnia in thm event in or der to make it a resounding dem onstration or solidarity mr American way of life, Kengla said.

U.R) Prof. An dres Sendon of Baylor univer sity believes in plenty of arm waving and other histrionics as part of teaching.

MEDFORD MOTORS 6th c Program Outlined to Detect Uterine Cancer in Women By Paul r. Ellis United Press Science Editor New York, May 16 (U.R) A four-point program to detect uterine cancer in women early enough to be cured completely was outlined today at the inter national congress on obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Herbert F. Traut, professor of obstetrics and gynecology, University of California, listed the points as follows: 1. Education of physicians (the general practitioner) to the con cept of periodic examinations at six or 12 months intervals of all women. 2. Education of the lay public as to the necessity of the periodic examinations. 3. The establishment of state- supported laboratories, through taxation, for making diagnosis from smear specimens. 4. Education of the Dhvsician at the local level, the general practitioner, as to what consti tutes adequate treatment of can cer at its various stages of growth. Socialised Medicine Dr. Traut told the congress, which is being attended by ex perts the world over, that his nlan for stale-supported labora tories would be described as "so cialized medicine." "There are some forms of med ical services which can be borne by the taxpayer better than others," he said. "We have state medicine in the treatment of mental disease; we have state medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of syphilis; we have slate medicine in the treatment of tuberculosis. "As a matter of fact, we have already committed ourselves as a great people to the proposition of state medical care of diseases of social significance which haz ard the nation. . "Is there any disease which comes nearer hazarding the wom en of this nation than cancer?" Provides Expert Help Dr. Traut said his plan does not mean "free medical care," but offers a way for the general practitioner to get expert help in the diagnosis of cancer where laboratory testing is needed. As for point 4 in his program. Dr. Traut said that treatment of cancer must eventually rest with the general practitioner,the gen eral medical man, the general surgeon. "It must be done in the home town and in the countryside adja cent to the place in which the patient lives, ' he said. Dr. Traut said that adequate laboratory testing for the diag nosis of cancer if made available to "every citizen of, the state without cost to the individual, would be one of the greatest boons imaginable and could only be made available by the state government and by taxation."
