8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, March 25, 1939 Fund Drive Pushed To Send Hospital Ship To Asians San Francisc;o - (UPD - The People to People Health Foun dation launched a $3,500,000 fund raising drive aimed at sending the hospital ship "Consolation" abroad on a unique humanitarian project. The foundation's president, Dr. William B. Walsh, out lined the project after inspect ing the "Consolation," which is in mothballs here.

The People-to-People Foundation has been created to further this ambitious aim. Walsh, 37, an energetic Washington, D.C., physician and former doctor in the Ko rean conflict, has been named by President Eisenhower to head the group. He confidently predicted that the Consolation would head for Asia on Sept. 15 tar get date. The Navy has agreed to loan the 15,400 ton vessel for the project, and the American President Lines has tentative ly agreed to operate it on a non-profit basis. Physicians and nurses have offered their services for the floating hospital and medical center and many donations from corporations and individ uals have already been re ceived, according to Dr. Walsh. The ship's primary mission will be to train local technic ians such as inoculationists, midwives and x-ray operators in modern techniques. The 800-bed ship will also offer treatment to victims of such rampant diseases as tubercu losis. The project also includes plans to send teams of physic ians and nurses into inland areas to train local personnel. After visiting the "Consola tion," Dr. Walsh concluded that it could be placed in operation in 30 days. The ship is equipped with $300,000 worth of medical equipment. "The mission will be inspir ing evidence that people in this country are deeply con cerned about the people in other countries as human beings," Dr. Walsh said. iCA'S ONLY NATIONWIDE STAMP ITEM- AdenauerWorried West May Weaken German Position Bonn, Germany -4UPD-Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was nagged by fears today the Western powers might weak en West Germany's position in forthcoming negotiations with the Soviet Union. He was reported particular ly worried that the Western powers will accept something less than general controlled disarmament a settlement that might weaken West Germany defensively. Explains Suspicion His aides and others who see him regularly said this explains the 83-year-old Ade nauer's extreme suspicion of and extreme sensitiveness to public statements by other Western leaders or even news paper interpretations of such statements. Adenauer's suspicions, which have infected many of his advisers and most of the newspapers which normally stay close to his foreign pol icy line, have caused a series of crises in German -British relations. Only this week Adenauer instructed his ambassador in London to determine the truth about reports Britain was considering some kind of "freeze" on atomic weapons in central Europe. This might mean West Germany would get none although other NATO Allies would. Wednesday British Ambas sador Sir Christopher Steele had to visit Adenauer with a personal letter from British Prime Minister Harold Mac millan to soothe the chancel lor's feelings. Adenauer was uneasy be fore Macmillan went to Mos cow. He apparently thought his fears confirmed when the final Moscow communique spoke of "limitation of armed forces" in central Europe. of Distinguished TAMP 0G3 YEAR WE GIVE GREEN STAMPS Regional Training Schools for Police Best Held in City The regional police training classes completed Monday in Medford city and county po lice officers were the best held here, Chief of Police Charles P. Champlin re ported. It was the best not only from the standpoint of attend ance but the way that the sub jects were discussed, he ex plained. The conference meth od of instruction was used for the first time this year, he said, which enabled the offi cers to take a more active part in the classes. This year's school also emphasized local problems, the police chief stated. Although field problems have been included in the six sessions in previous years, more were included in the schedule this year.

Chief Champlin is a mem ber of the training committee of the Oregon association of police officers, while Capt. Clyde Fichtner of the local department is a member of the executive board of the association. Champlin has been an instructor in previous years while Fichtner instruct s OF ed a class in accident investi gation evidence this year. . A total attendance of 401 was reported for the six ses sions held here for an average of 67 per class. This exceeded an average attendance of 55 for 1958.
