Howard, A. M. A. assistant executive vice president, said the recent election results should not force the medical profession to think in terms of compromising its viewpoint.

Howard addressed a seminar on medical care programs for the aged during the opening session of the five day meeting attended by about 4,500 doctors. to Continue He said the Kennedy election should not mark the collapse of the A. M. strong fight against incorporating medical care with social security. I think that no one should underestimate the tremendous strength of medicine," he said.

FRANCE PLANS CRACKDOWN ON PROSTITUTION Designed to Combat Venereal Disease PARIS, Nov. 27 Reuters France today followed up its actions to curb alcoholism by introducing new measures against prostitutes, homosex-, uals, and venereal disease. An official decree ordered -the abolition of the system in which prostitutes carried cards listing their visits to a doctor. It will be replaced by specialized social service aimed at seeking out prostitutes, especially and inducing them to change their way of life. Treatment Is Compulsory The old card system had only limited value in combat ing venereal disease.

Under the new decree, treatment be-: comes compulsory. Doctors who fail to warn victims of the diseases' dangers become liable to a fine of from $15 to $100. Anyone suspected of pass-" ing the disease may be re-, quired to provide a certifi- cate of medical treatment Any sufferer from it may be forced out of his job if there is danger of contaminating Anyone guilty of contaminating another person and unable to show that he medical treatment faces up to a year in jail, fine of about $390, or both." Homosexuals Face Jail Public offenses against decency by homosexuals carry; sentences of six months to three -years and fines from $200 to $3,000. The decree, drafted under, a law passed last June to combat social evils, also cracks down on those who live off the earnings of prostK tutes. If such persons are found to be regularly in the com pany of prostitutes, and live more richly than their tax- declared income would provide, they face prosecution.

as doesanyone who tries to prevent a prostitute from changing her profession. Can Close Saloons Hotels, saloons, and furn ished rooms catering to pros titutes can be closed for three! to five years and their owners deprived of their driving li censes and passports.

(Photo-diagram en back pag) Chicago's 346 million dol lar South expressway, sched uled for completion in three or four years, will outmode Congress expressway, de signed a quarter of a century ago, and will be more commodious than the Northwest ex pressway, opened only three weeks ago. Details of the city's newest superhighway were described yesterday by Ralph Bartels- meyer, chief of the Illinois highway department, and Roger Nusbaum, his express way engineer for the Cook county district The South expressway will have eight separated roadways on a right of way ranging from 400 to 500 feet wide. Bartelsmeyer said there should be fewer minor rear end collisions which now cause rush hour traffic blockades on Congress expressway. Thru Travel Benefits "Two one-way roadways for fast travel, each four lanes wide, will be free of II II rJ La CONGRESS- (Michigan EXPWY. ROOSEVELT RO CERMAK RDi any direct access from cross streets or frontage roads," Bartelsmeyer said.

"These 60 mile an hour roadways will have entrances and exits half a mile to a mile and a half apart, with acceleration and deceleration lanes connecting them with a pair of three lane, one-way, 50 mile an hour collector and distributor roadways. "These collector and distributor roads will be reachable from the frontage, or local service, roads by ramps with acceleration and decel eration lanes. A car entering the high speed center road ways will merge first with traffic in the collector and distributor and then merge into the mile a minute long distance travel lane." There are two other noteworthy safety features of the South route," said Nusbaum. "All roadways will have 10 feet of shoulder for emergency parking. A refuge area also will be available.

Fear Abutments "At many places on Con gress expressway, the innermost lane has a clearance of only 4.5 inches from a concrete abutment. Many motor ists fear this and veer toward the 'adjacent lane of traffic." The frontage roads encour age drivers to use these local service streets for trips of only a few blocks rather than merging with express road ways. 2 HELD AFTER GANG CRASHES PARTY; 2 HURT Five teen-agers were arrested and 10 others were sought by Cragin police yesterday for beating an 18 year old youth and punching an other after crashing a house party in a northwest side home Saturday night.

Areas not constantly in use, such as the supply room and a service area off the visual, aids room, have fire warning devices which react to abnormal heat and activate sprinkler system, which also react automatically to fires.

Doors Are Treated Interior vvalls are of masonry and tile and floors are vinyl asbestos ana marble chip tile. Railings in the stairways are of metal. The only wood used in the building is in. interior doors between rooms and between rooms and corridors. The doors are treated with a nonflammable material rather than with paint or varnish.

And the building also contains some new features. Desk sizes, height of water fountains, and the like on each floor are scaled to the size of children using that floor. Desks of metal and treated plastic are of one piece design for small children, two piece for older children. Each has a top that adjusts to three positions for read-, ing, writing, and reciting. Each room has its own bright color scheme.

Typical is one featuring coral and tan desks, coral lockers and writing boards, and gray walls and draperies. Blues and greens are used in other rooms. Room Is Bright The kindergarten room is bright, gay, and appealing. It has its own small sized work room and cloakroom and a vinyl floor with bright inlays of the alphabet. Prior to dismissal for the Thanksgiving holiday last Wednesday, the kindergarten moppets laughed and sang a song about turkey.

Thruout the school, children attended to their studies. The same scene will prevail Thursday. Many of the 1,560 children now enrolled in the school are survivors of the fire as are some of the nuns who conduct their classes. Children Love New School But Sister Mary St. Florence, principal on the fateful day and today, is determined that the youngsters will not attend school under a pall and that their educational ex periences will not be dampened by a continuing atmosphere of tragedy.

"The children love their new school and are proud of it," she said. Pupils attended classes at several other locations during the last year and a half and were treated very well, but it is good to be home, she said. Little is said about the fire, but for parents and friends of the dead, visits to the school figuratively tear open wounds which, tho never healing entirely, grow less painful with time. No Special Mass The parish plans no large scale memorial mass on the anniversary, such as the one held a year ago Thursday, with Cardinal Meyer as celebrant. But mass for the fire dead has been said each Monday since the fire in the parish church, which adjoins the school, and this practice will continue, Five Elderly Women Killed in Two Car Crash Tuckahoe, N.

BY JEANNE A phoenix of concrete and a steel and glass beckons to the future at Avers avenue and Iowa street. It is a mounment to the past this building modern technology calls fireproof the new Our Lady of the Angels school.

Two years ago Thursday its predecessor burned. In time, the death toll numbered 95. It was a holocaust that horrified a city, a nation, even a world. Not a Memorial The new school was planned and built not as a memorial to the children nd nuns who died as a result of the fire, but rather as a fine educational building for the children of the Our Lady of the Angels parish. But as the anniversary nears thoughts in the parish and thruout the city turn almost independently to that tragic Monday, Dec.

Opened in September The architects describe the $750,000 building, which opened in September, as "completely fireproof." It also has instant warning and sprinkling equipment and a system of hallways and connections between rooms that will permit children there ready means of exit from any point in any emergency. The modern school has an exterior of glass, steel, concrete, and tile, colorfully finished in pale blue, a silvered tone, and tan.

Three stories high, the new structure occupies the full site of the burned school. Inside, 34 classrooms are arranged along the east and west walls, with two wide corridors running the length of the building on each floor. The corridors are served by four enclosed stairways, each with specially constructed doors which seal and cut off the affected area in case of fire in a stairwell. Alarms in Corridors Fire extinguishers and alarm buttons are situated at each end of eachxcorridor. Doors beside exterior walls connect all classrooms and, when open, provide each floor with two additional corridors for escape, should this be necessary.

CO-EXISTENCE Official Quoted in London Paper LONDON, Nov. 27 IT) Red China's foreign minister was quoted in a newspaper here today as saying his country believes in peaceful co-ex istence and does not seek to conquer the capitalist world by force of arms. Marshal Chen Yi was quoted as terming pure fab- rication" charges that Red China wants to extend communism by war. Beliefs Are Mistaken The tabloid Sunday Graphic printed an article by Stuart Gelder, a British journalist whom the paper said had a long interview with Chen Yi in Peiping last month and reported that western beliefs in Red China's belligerent foreign policy are "mistaken." But he added "The Chinese believe that while imperialism and capitalism exist, the danger of war remains." Russian and Chinese leaders have been reported in deadlock at the communist summit meeting in Moscow over differences on the inevitability of war with the west. What the Chinese have been saying is that capitalism and communism cannot co exist and that communism must hammer capitalism down.

The Russian stand is that communism can triumph over capitalism without con flict Gelder quoted Chen Yi as saying "You know that China was very backward before the Communists took power, and that what we have achieved today is the result of arduous labor. Why should we want a world war to destroy these achievements? Must Keep Alert At the same time Chen Yi argued that the Red Chinese people must be kept alert to what he called the dangers of attack by the imperialists. If some people insist that war can definitely be pre vented, what will they do in the event of the Pentagon or West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer launching a war? he asked.

COURAGE HELD KEY TO FIGHT WITH SOVIET A Retired Captain Talks on Air America is physically stronger than the Soviet Union, and can retain this lead, but there is no substitute for courage as the indispensable supplement to physical strength," Capt.

Manion, author and authority on constitutional law.

Promise Is Made Capt. Morse said that with the whole world watching, the United States promised to stop the U-2 intelligence flights which were essential to protecting the free world from surprise attack. The iron curtain can now hide surprise attacks up to the very last moment before their launching," he said. Did we have the courage to continue what was right and in the free world interest? Stress Half Truths Capt. Morse said he believes Premier Khrushchev thinks America passed up op portunities for initiative in making such a decision.

In their short 40 years of history," he said, "the Communists have demonstrated astounding skill in psychological warfare. They got their start that way. The ounders of the communist movement had no physical power only ideas, lies, and a basic understanding of psychological warfare against men and nations."

27 Reuters The United States and the West Indies were scheduled to resume talks tomorrow on the future of American bases on the islands but floods made a delay to Tuesday likely. A 1941 Anglo-American agreement gave the United States 99 year leases on island bases in exchange for 50 destroyers. The West Indies Federation now is moving toward independence of Britain. American officials were hopeful that the United States would be able to retain key defense sites in the West Indies. They especially wish to keep the facilities at Chaguaramas base, near here, which they regard as a vital link in the anti-submarine defense of the Caribbean.

The Chaguaramas site, however, has been proposed as a' site for the federal capital of the West Indies. Tim United States also is eager to retain missile tracking stations at such points as Antigua, St. Lucia and St. Kitts. One of the factors buoying up American hopes is a state-- ment issued after the London talks.
