Later I queried the state department about the agreement and was advised that the state department knew nothing about the agreement.

Nutrition Service To Be Dropped As Chest Agency The Community Nutrition Service will not be included in next falls Community Chest campaign, the Public Welfare bureau of the Chamber of Commerce decided Tuesday. The decision, announced Wednesday by B. D. Silliman, the bureau chairman, was made at a majority vote at the bureaus regular monthly meeting at the Roosevelt hotel. In announcing the move, Silliman said in a formal statement that It is the belief of the bureau that the principal work done by the Community Nutrition Service can be performed by other existing agencies without detriment to the public.

DEATHS Explaining the action, the statement pointed out that last fall the people of Cedar Rapids contributed $212,640 for the support of the 15 agencies which receive funds from the Cedar Rapids Community Chest. It is the responsibility of the Public Welfare bureau to make certain that the contributors, receive the maximum amount of service for every dollar expended. The efficient administration of these funds requires that the bu reau should carefully consider the needs of the community and add or eliminate agencies as changing conditions may require. Therefore, it said, at its regular June meeting the members of the Public Welfare bureau determined that the Community Nutrition Service will not receive fi nancial support from nor be an agency of the Chest during the year 1952.

President of the Nutrition Service board, Mrs. Charles Johnson, was out of the city and not available for comment. Mrs. Raymond T. Ashloclq vice-president, said that the services plans for the future are not definite.

Reduced Service. However, Mrs. Ashlock 6ald, the members of its board feel that there is a tremendous need for a nutrition service, that nutrition plays an important part in civil defense and that we will try to continue our work in some manner. The nutrition service will continue to receive Community Chest funds through the end of 1951. The funds were subscribed for that purpose during last falls campaign.

Some time ago a special committee of the health section of the Council of Social Planning made a study of the nutrition service. It made its report at a meeting June 5 of the Public Welfare bureau and representatives of the nutritiqn service. The committee recommended that the service continue to provide a nutrition program until such time as' a full-time public health unit is formed, but at a reduced cost of operation. The welfare 'bureau took one other action at its meeting Tuesday. It voted unanimously to recommend that a statewide campaign be organized to raise Iowas share of the United Defense Fund goal for next years operations.

That wouid mean that Iowas quota would be divided among all counties of the state, rather than just among Community Chest cities. United Defense Fund money goes mainly to support the newly-reorganized United Service Organizations (USO). Several other defense-related organizations re ceive small portion of its total budget. waTs laws against health haz-s and nuisances. We must take steps to correct these health menaces, Hood said.

But the problems are comparatively new to us, and we want to find out what are the best methods to cope with them. In the city, there is a health officer to enforce city ordinances against maintaining a health danger or public nuisance. We have no health officer in Linn county, but we might have to get one. Thats why we rsked Dr. Ray and Dr.

Zenor to make a study and report to us. The board asked the university men, through their work with the Institute of Public Affairs, to make a survey of the state and find out if other counties have faced similar problems and if so, how they solved them. Dr. Ray and Dr. Zenor discussed the situation with the board Tuesday.

May Visit Des Moines. Hood and the countys two other supervisors, C. L. Beeson and Miles P. Sutera, agreed that the county board of health should also make a trip to Des Moines and discuss the Linn health problem with state health officers.

Iowa law says that the eounty board of health is to consist of three officials, the chairman of the board of supervisors, the auditor and the superintendent of schools. In Linn, that would mean Hood. Auditor Otto llanzlik and Snperintendent Walter A.

County Jail Prisoner at Marengo Special to Th. Gazette. MARENGO A man serving a 30-day sentence in the Iowa county jail here disappeared Wednesday morning and was being sought by Sheriff Milford Engelbert and other officers. The man gave his name as A.

W. Dickinson when he was arrested here last week. He was given the jail sentence after he was charged with uttering forged instruments. The sheriff said that Dickinson vanished about 11:15 a.m. while assisting the janitor at the vr because of the treaty it enabled them to negotiate with' Russia.

That defense by Secretary Acheson is absurd, he said. Saying that he was more than willing to testify on all subjects with which he was familiar, Hurley added: My primary purpose is to show what were the underlying principles of American foreign policy at the beginning of World war II and then to show where, when and how our state department surrendered them and embarked our nation on an entirely different policy. "This surrender of the principles and objectives for which we said we were fighting and support of principles completely opposite to them is responsible for the confusion and costly failures in American relations. We should quit supporting ideologies abroad which if successful will destroy the American system of liberty. We should quit the policy of appeasement and present again a positive foreign polity based on the principles of individual liberty, self-government, regulated free enterprise and justice.

Hurley discussed an occasion when he was ambassador in China and sent some state department representatives home. "Nice Boys. He said Byrnes told the senate foreign relations committee that the men were nice boys who had reported to their superiors, and that we should approve reports made within the department by men in the field to their superiors. Hurley said: My charge was that these men were favorable to communism and against the policy of the U. S.

in China, and that is very different from being insubordinate to me or reporting to my superiors over my head. I didnt make any such suffered a cut lip and a cut on her right hand. Close CaU. Mr. and Mrs.
