Page 4 THE BATTALION Wednesday, April 25, 1951 Chest X-Rays Will Be Taken Monday By ALLEN K. PENG ELLY Battalion Assistant City Editor Chest X-rays of all students, fac ulty and staff members of the col lege, and citizens of College Sta tion and surrounding area will be made during the week of April 28 through May 5 in the YMCA. The portable unit will be set up in the main lobby of the YMCA and will be open from 9 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. each day except Sunday. These X-rays, sponsored by the National Anti-Tuberculosis Asso ciation, are given each year throughout the nation in an effort to combat tuberculosis and to dis cover potential carriers of the The X-rays are free to all per sons in the community 15 years or older. The photographs will be develop ed by the Association, analyzed by specialists, and results will be mailed to the individual. All re sults will be confidential. Should the report indicate a positive re action to the test, the person should report to his private physician as soon as possible for a further and more complete check-up. A positive indication does not mean the per son has TB but merely shows that a lung abnormality was detected by the X-ray and suggests further diagnosis by a physician. “I wish to emphasize the im portance of the chest X-rays and also the ease of taking the pic tures,” said J. B. Baty, chairman Shirer and Harsch Begin LBS Series Two former Great Issues speak ers will begin broadcasting for the Liberty Broadcasting System over WTAW. The series will run Mon days through Fridays at 6:15 p.m. William L. Shirer, who spoke to the class March 29, will give his news program on Tuesday and Thursdays. Joseph C. Harsch, who addressed the class in February 1950, will broadcast on Mondays, Wednes days, and Fridays. of the public health .committee of the Chamber of Commerce. “The entire registration process and the actual X-ray «do not take more than five minutes,” he added, “and there is absolutely no need in disrobing.” Many people are hesitant to have the X-rays made because of the time required and also' because they are under the impression that disrobing is necessary. Last year, 13,024 people .in Bra zos County were x-rayed, 6,836 of which were photographed on the campus and at the Annex. From this number x-rayed on the cam pus, 108 cases of lung defects were discovered. “I suggest that all faculty and staff members have their X-rays made on Saturday and at the lunch hour because the student load will be lighter at these times,” said W. L. Penberthy, dean of men. “However, the staff will be able to accommodate anyone throughout the week,” he said further. Large Staff Necessary “A staff of over one hundred will be necessary to have the X- rays made,” continued Baty. “Two hostesses and six clerks will be re quired over the week-long period to process the people, each day to be divided into two shifts,” said Baty. In cooperation with the Cham ber of Commerce, assistants of the Association in College Station, is the Campus Study Club under the direction of Mrs. L. L. Gee. Mrs. Gee recruited eight women to act as hostesses and clerks. Besides Mrs. Gee, aiding in the work will be Mrs. C. W. Crawford, Mrs. O. F. Allen, Mrs. R. M. Curran, Mrs. J. L. Shawn, Mrs. V. A. Young, Mrs. J. T. L. McNew, Mrs. L. Richard son, and Mrs. W. F. Hill. The people living in the sur rounding communities are urged by Baty to take advantage of the service and he said that should anyone need transportation to the YMCA, to call the Chamber of Commerce and transportation will be furnished free. For Campus Chest As part of the campaign for the Campus Chest, the Hockaday Chorus Friday night, provided en tertainment, pleasing to both the eyes and the ears as they sang sacred, popular, semi-classical and rhythmical numbers. The group, together with the Singing Cadets who provided the last half-hours entertainment on the program did much to relieve the ever-present absence on fem ininity on the campus TiSK BATTAI.ION CLASSIFIED ADS TO BtIV, SELL, BENT OR TRADE.

Cashion, YMCA director said. New York, April 25—tiP)—An aide says those who insist on boom ing General Douglas MacArthur for the presidency had better “go home.” Major Gen. Courtney Whitney made the statement yesterday when asked by newsmen about a Mac- Arthur-for-President Club opened here Monday. Whitney met with newsmen, as signed to cover the General at his hotel, the Waldorf-Astoria, while the General himself remained in his 37th floor suite for the fourth successive day. During the day, MacArthur had visits from Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio), publisher Henry H. Luce, and the Right Rev. Horace W. B. Donegan, Protestant Episcopal bishop of New York. Son Sees Game MacArthur was expected to re main in his hotel again today, but his wife and their son, Arthur, 13, planned to see the New York Yan kees play the Philadelphia Athle tics at Yankee Stadium. At the news conference yester day, Whitney answered questions on the MacArthur-for-President movement. MacArthur himseif said in San Francisco last week that he did “not intend to run for any political office” and that he hoped his name “will never be used in any political way.” Whitney said that if any one raised the question, MacArthur would tell the questioner to “go home and read the Bible,” particu larly the part about “doubting Thomas,” (St. Thomas).

(Eight day later, after Christ reappeared and showed the proof sought by Thomas, the apostle be lieved and said: “My Lord and my God.”) Whitney refused to give further explanation, saying: “I’m not going to try to inter pret the Bible to you. The Gen eral said it. To me, it’s very clear.” Earlier in the interview, Whit ney said that all top army, navy and air commanders in Korea had shared MacArthur’s desire to use Chinese Nationalist troops. He said these included MacArthur’s successor, Lt. Gen. Matthew Ridg- way. Whitney also said he “assumed” that MacArthur included Gen. Omar Bradley in his reference be fore Congress last week about the joint Chiefs of Staff. MacArthur had said that he un derstood his views on the Far East were shared from a military stand point “in the past” by the joint Chiefs of Staff, of which Bradley is chairman. Bradley, without mentioning MacArthur’s name, expressed his opposition to the MacArthur view point in Chicago last week. After Reds in Whitney also told reporters yes terday that “approval by the joint Chiefs of Staff” came “some time after Red China entered the war.” Other points made by Whitney were: • MacArthur did not consider the atom-bomb essential as far as Red China’s Manchurian bases are concerned. • The General did not take seri ously a reported smear campaign directed against him. • MacArthur received a request from the Pentagon to submit for approval a copy of his Congression al address, but the defense depart ment later sent word that the re quest was a mistake. Whitney refused to answer a questioner wanting to know if Mac Arthur had copies of official rec ords. He said he would not “ex pose General MacArthur’s hand.” Reservists Slated For School Duties A number of Army Reserve of ficers will be selected to serve on the staff and faculty of the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Capt.

AGGIES! YOU CAN GET Bouquets, Corsages for the COTTON BALL Right Here On Campus! Student Floral Concession (Across From Exchange Store) Knapp Delivers Canadian View To Kiwanians Professor Frank T. Knapp, of the Wild Life Management Department, spoke to College Station Kiwanis yesterday about international relations between the United States and Canada. In his speech, “Introducing Can ada,” Knapp pointed out the in ability of the United States to recognize Canada in any other light other than a peaceful ally to the North. Said Knapp, “The United States has not tried to understand Canada or its problems. I doubt seriously if anyone present can name the major divisions of the Canadian Dominion while every child in Can adian schools can recite from mem ory most of the states and their capitals by heart.” He warned, “Canada is becom ing a progressive nation due to the strong feeling of nationalism ex hibited by some of its political and journalistic leaders.” Knapp concluded his speech with the statement that unless both na tions try to understand each other’s problems, the long, undefended bor der which now exists between the two nations will become merely a matter of history.
