Foster, American Communist party leader, said today the party will not comply with the house- approved Communist control bill if it becomes law. Foster told the senate judiciary committee the Mundt-Nixon bill would create "a Fascist police state'' in this country. He said his party could not comply with provisions requiring Communist groups to register with the government. "If the Mundt-Nixon bill were to pass, the Communist party would not perjure itself by admitting any resemblance to the monstrous caricature of its nature and purposes drawn in this bill," he said. "IT WOULD not dishonor the 15.000 members of our party who fought against Fascism in World War II by giving de facto sanction In Hitler's big lie." he said.

"That is one reason why we would refuse to register." Foster's statement was read by John Gates, who accompanied him.

Sanatorium Too Small A movement to enlarge Molly Stark sanatorium was started Thursday evening by members of the board of directors of the Stark County Tuberculosis Health association when they passed a resolution requesting Stark county commissioners to investigate the cost of such a project and place a bond issue on the November ballot in order to qualify under the Hill-Barton act which provides aid for hospital expansion. Dr.

Arnold Kurlandor, chief of the tuberculosis division of the Ohio department of health after a survey of the sanatorium's facilities, recommended the need for its expansion. The sanatorium is already caring for 138 patients though it was only built to accomodate 128. Every bed is filled and the sanatorium has a waiting list of people who should be admitted for treatment. ACCORDING to L. L.

Taylor, secretary of the Stark County Tuberculosis and Health association, the need will increase as a result of the intensive X-ray program which is being used to discover tuberculosis in its early stages when it can be quickly arrested. The board would have the coun- commissioners comluct a survey- to determine the size an4 cost of an addition to the sanatorium and place a bond issue on the ballot accordingly. The meeting, held in the association's offices in Canton, was attended fay L. P. Kemp.

Dr. Walter Angerman and J. E. McCormick of this city. The directors approved the application of D.

H. McHenry of Stillwater, to join the association's staff as a health education and public relations worker. For the past two years he has been with the Florida Tuberculosis association as a state representative in these fields. Dr. H.

H. Brueckner, superintendent of Molly Stark, reported establishment of a central case register at Molly Stark, where the full status of every tuberculosis patient in the county will be recorded to aid all health departments and health organizations in their efforts to control this disease. THE BOARD volejj to continue its X-ray program and will follow the policy of the past year except that it will not finance follow-up X-rays for out-of-county cases. The mobile unit will be stationed at the Stark county fair again this year to provide X-ray service to adults. The board authorized Taylor to attend (he National Tuberculosis and Health association meeting in New York city the week of June 14.
