y. nu 1 BROADER EDUCATION ASKED BV GOODRICH New Milwaukee School Head Addresses Interprofessional Group Milwaukee iP Educational resources "must be broadened to administer to the proper growth of each individual, Lowell P. Goodrich, superintendent-elect of the Milwaukee public schools, said last night. "It has been easier to warp the child to the curriculum than to change the curriculum to the child." the former Fond du Lac educator told the American Interprofessional Institute. Goodrich declared that modern education would do well to emphasize science, economics and manual skills, adding that "Hitler has done a better job in the last 20 years than we have.

He devissd a system that worked and did not leave the education of youth up to the hobbies of educators or the taxpayers," Goodrich said. Education's most important role today is the training of people for freedom, Goodrich asserted, stressing the need for reaching a balance between selfishness and selflessness. "We cannot build a society where each individual is willing to be robbed," he said, "but our chief danger is the basic selfishness of men in groups who want their interests served regardless of the effect on society."

Gen. James C. Magee said today, despite the prevalence of "almost every disease you can think of" among the native population there.

The Army surgeon general, just back from a flying inspection trip to North Africa, England. West Africa and South America, said the sick rate is little more than 1 per cent, though the troops have been through the worst rainy season North Africa has had in years. MaGee told a press conference that malaria and venereal diseases were the main medical problems of the Army overseas. Veneral Diseases Prevalent The preventative methods adopted by medical officers have almost completely successful a-gainst malaria, he said, but venereal diseases cause more trouble because "some parts of the world Just refuse to regard venereal diseases as a problem." Typhus is a constant threat, Magee said, although there has been none as yet among the A-merican troops. "North Africa is not a well sanitated place," he said.

"For instance, within one small, walled native town we found plague, leprosy, smallpox, typhoid, typhus, two or three kinds of dysentery and just about all the skin diseases known." Magee said the use of blood plasma for transfusion and of the sulfa drugs for prevention and treatment of infection undoubtedly would result in a much higher rate of recovery frcm wounds in this war than was true cf the first World War. Blood Plasma Helpful As an example of the effectiveness of transfusions using dried blood plasma, he told of the senior medical officer whose unit was called on to care for 400 men badly burned on a ship during one of the North African landings. "They treated those men with the most primitive field equipment," Magee said. "Between midnight and 1 o'clock in the morning, every one had been properly cared for, and only six of them died. Blood plasma gets the credit to a very large degree." EX-ARPIN SOLDIER IS KILLED IN AIR CRASH Staff Sgt.

FARMERS WILL GET SPECIAL PAYMENTS Program Installed to En courage More Production Washington (JP) The Government plans to spend about in "incentive payments" to farmers for increased production of soybeans, peanuts, grain sorghums, flax, sweet potatoes and dried peas. These crops. Secretary of Agriculture Wickard said last night in announcing the program, are greatly needed to meet deficiencies in vegetables oils and protiens for animal feeding as well as human consumption. The incentive payments, he added, are part of the Department's program to aid farmers 'in producing maximum amounts of essential war products. In addition to the $400,000,000 already asked in the 1942-43 Department budget for the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, Congress will be requested to appropriate $100,000,000 for the new program.

A comparable program involving incentive payments, Wickard said, is being developed for increasing milk production. The incentive program calls for payments of $15 an acre for soybeans in excess of 90 per cent of the farm goal. Acreage of soybeans would be increased from 10,500,000 to 12,000,000 this year. SURVEY HEAD DEFENDS BUDGET HEARING LAW Milwaukee (JP) Passage by the legislature of a bill by Sen. Charles D.

Madsen, of Luck, would "undermine" progress a-chieved toward better local budgeting and lower public expenditures, Milo Lange, of Columbus, said today. Lange, president of the Wisconsin Citizens public Expenditure Survey, said Madsen's bill would repeal the Thomson Law requiring local governmental units to hold public budget hearings. "The local budget law should be left exactly as it is," Lange declared. "Its benefits have been many and it is difficult to understand why this time should be chosen to undermine a measure which has been as beneficial to taxpayers as the Thomson Law."

82IJD ABEIISiy Former Illinois Governor is Confident of Allied Victory Tucson, Arii. CP) Prank O. Lowden, Governor of Illinois In the first World War, celebrated his 82nd birthday today far from his beloved "Sinissippi" farm home near Oregon, serenely confident of victory for the Allied nations in the present war. It was the first time in many years that Lowden, a strong contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. had spent his birthday away from home.

He arrived here Jan. 18 and plans to stay until April. Lowden. keenly alert to world affairs, said in an interview yesterday that an enduring peace after the present war will be possible only if the Allies approach the peace table without rancor or passion. Supporting former President Herbert Hoover's recommendation for cooling-off period before the Allied nations determine the final provisions of the peace, Lowden j-aid war hatred was the chief deterrent to a just peace after World War I.

Lowden spoke of totalitarianism with disgust and discussed American self-government with enthusiasm and with confidence in the future. He entertained no doubts that victory will perch on the banners of the Allied forces.

Ply DYING SUPERVISOR ELKS ON SAFETY Fatally Injured Foreman Uses Own Case to Decry Carelessness BY JAMES MARLOW AND GEORGE ZIELKE Pittsburgh VP) A steel mill foreman, struck by a train in his plant, was dying and he knew he was dying. Lying in a hospital bed, he sent for his workmen and them a lecture on safety, holding himself up as an example of just what one's carelessness could do, for he believed the accident was his fault. One second of carelessness. Yes, the home front has dangerous sectors, too. Safety developments with in creasing co-operation between management and workers in making use of them have greatly reduced the loss of lives, eyes and limbs from accidents in steel mills.

But there will continue to be accidents in these roaring plants no matter what precautions are taken, no matter how many whistles and bells sound constant warnings. Safety is Emphasized At the mills of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation a good example of what is being done in the nation's plants we found thorough training and vig ilance as well as special equip ment are needed to prevent ac cidents. Paul C. Kauffman, L's safety director, keeps his staff men circulating through the plants at all times checking precautions against accidents. One a month Kauffman holds meeting with the plant superintendents on safety.

They in turn, once a week or every two weeks, have meetings with their general foremen, who in turn meet with their workers. The mills are placarded with warnings against carelessness. The workers are provided with sturdy fiber hats, which look like French soldiers' helmets, to pro tect them from falling objects. Just the other day. a bolt 11 inches in diameter and 27 inches long broke off a machine, fell 65 feet and struck a worker on the fiber hat, crushing it, knocking him down and fracturing his skull.

He will recover, but if he had been working without the hat. Worker Health Important Worker health is another factor. Because physical endurance is the minimum require ments for a would-be steel worker used to be: 20 years of age and 165 pounds in weight. These standards have been lowered because of manpower shortages. Heat near the furnaces is in tense, particularly in the summer when metal Is being cooked at 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Under the heat, the men drip sweat. In hot summer in some of the control rooms where men work near furnaces, the heat would reach 140 degrees if it weren't for air-conditioning. And outside, fans are used to pour a breeze on some of the men working in the open beside the sizzling furnaces. Since it's important that work ers get back into their systems some of the salt washed out with their sweat, the company provides them all the iced tomatoes they will eat. "We've tried unsuccessfully to get the men to eat salt tablets." one company official says, "so we hit on tomatoes.

As the men eat the tomatoes, they pour salt on them. That seems to be the only way to get them to take salt." ENGLAND BOMBED London (JP) German raiders coasted in across the souttheast shore of England and bombed at least two towns today, killing two women in one town and injuring three persons in an adjacent Tillage.
