1 4 23 THE CHATTANOOGA TIMES: CHA'rTANGOGA TENN SUNDAY OCTOBER 12 1958 Internes Riding Ambulances Are Best Speed Deterrent Doctors Say Haste Often Can Aggravate Influence Drivers By ALEX CORLISS Times Police Reporter Speeding ambulance were criticized last week by a committee of he American College of Surgeons which said studies show the "hot rod" type injures more patients than hq helps I Chinese Fighter Hot Happy Pilot 1 4 1 The wrangle over speeding ambulances has been going on for years and as far as Chattanooga is concerned isn't going to be resolved until some arrangement is made for internee to ride on emergency calls and advise the driver if it Is necessary to rush the patient to a hospital Doctors say the occasion for speed rarely arises Their views are accepted by many ambulance drivers as sound but who's going to convince the patient or a member of the family Have you ever stood at the scene of a traffic accident in which personal injury was involved Perhaps you may have seen someone with cuts and bruises or possibly a fracture lying In a-car or on the ground awaiting the arrival of an ambulance You may have observed that someone in the group of bystanders impatiently asks "Where is that ambulance?" or "Why doesn't that ambulance come on?" If the ambulance crew doesn't rush the injured person off with red lights flashing and the siren screaming somebody invariably accuses the driver and attendant of being callous indifferent or cruel "They don't care whether he live or dies" Is a remark occasionally heard NATIONALIST CHINESE AIR BASE Central Taiwan young Chinese pilot grinned and glanced at the American instructors lounging nearby "I think we can handle the Communists" he said In perfect English "We would all like to get some more MIGs" He was Capt Au Yang Yi-feng one of the hottest pilots in the Republic of China's tough five-wing air force Au 29 a boyish-looking veteran of more than 100 inissiens against the Red Chinese is best known hereabouts for his exploits in an aerial battle July 21 1955 That day his blazing guns sent two MICs down in flames and damaged two others in a dogfight over tie offshore island of Matus "I have been in MIG fights 10 times now he said "and I don't think their pilots are trained too well Maybe their morale Is bad too" He talked freely against a bustling backdrop of this central Formosan base where program is under way to build the first F100 Super Sabre Jet wing in Nationalist China's air force Six two-seat versions of the Super Sabre the F100111 and six American instructors were flown here last month from George Air Force Base in California to begin training 10 Chinese fliers These will In turn teach other Chinese pilots to fly the Super Sabres at speeds faster than sound 4 Au has spent so much time with American fliers that'he talks and acts like them His American friends say he flies with skillful application of everything the American Air Force could teach him In 1954 he spent 40 weeks in US flying schools tiiVMMIMIIWZAUTAMUMZ2111 Press letioM Bobby Fischer

crack at the present world champion Russia's Mikhail Botvinnik Hurry and Wait So to avoid criticism the crew usually hurries the accident victim to a hospital Those who criticize cannot realize how ridiculous their remarks are unless they follow the ambulance to the hospital and see what happens there Since the patient is not seriously injured he must wait his turn for treatment if the doctors are busy in the emergency room This is especially true at Erlanger Hospital the cityls largest where the emergency room rarely has a lull True emergency cases are given priority A lot of traffic accidents are caused by drinking drivers Some are 'out" when the ambulance arrives but the cause is intoxication and not an injury Bystanders seem to think an unconscious person is a dying person and they urge the ambulance crew to hurry "He's in bad shaps" they say Many of these "bad shape" cases regain consciousness at a hospital and are found to have only minor injuries However as a precautionary measure any accident victim who is reported to have been ''knocked out" is given an X-ray examination of the skull Drivers Disagree By CYNTHIA IAAVRY Aosociated Press Stall Writer propriate quotation from Macbeth about "bloody instructions which being taught return to plague the Inventor" All this while he was translating at a clip of 200 words a minute UN interpreters are tot encouraged to dramatize their performance Sherry says although some are inclined to imitate the speakers' moods and styles Sometimes a delegate will correct a translation as it is going said "I propose' not 'I suggest' Once Sherry was called by a delegale for substituting "man of war" for "warship" Also he explains cautiously "The delegates sometimes wish they had not something and they make a 'correction' in the translation that removes it from the records" Slips by interpreters occEtsionally provide some merriment as when an English interpreter during a Security Council session quoted Andrei Gromyko as calling for a "reduction of arguments" Instead of armaments The Russian joined the laughter and said that perhaps the interpreter had the better idea Because they are not mere to convey the sense of a speech veterans occasionally are tempted to take liberties for clarity's sake And sometimes it backfires Once when a delegate used a cat in a metaphor the interpreter changed it to a dog for reasons that seemed perfectly sound at the moment Unfortunately the delegate continued to use the cat and had it climb a tree to get out on a limb Which is where the freewheeling interpreter found himself too 'wants to be champion 44 44 444 be 1 01! the world champion in 't i 1 4 I I I I 1 i i i I 4 1 I 11 1 I I I l' l' 1 i 1 1 I it i I i I by a surgical measure known as a

pruned of excessive verbiage I The delegate rushed up "That's Inot what I said" he protested furiously "Monsieur" replied the interpreter smoothly "that is what you ought to have said" This is the favorite story of the United Nations' Interpretive Section but in practice the 70-odd translators have little time or inclination to edit speeches Mostly they just try to keep up with them It might seem simple to merely trinslate sentences word for word as a speaker mouths them Actually much more is required of a UN interpreter Many know almost as much about the subject under discussion as the speaker About a third of the interpretive 70-4re PhD's Most own degrees in law economics political science mathematics comparative literature or some other learned specialty Constant Study All are constantly boning up on documents and background material to keep up with subjects under discussion by the Various committees to which they are assigned Recently before SS interpreters went to Geneva

Except when you offer a draw But you can say anything They know what you mean Chess players speak lots of languages "Fun? No a tournament's no fund but they're all right" Does he think he can win the Challengers' and get a shot at the championship? He shrugged and twisted his lip "I don't know" Bobby has few friends his own age He comes home from school about 2 o'clock and picks up a chess book Every spare minute he is either reading about chess analyzing moves on his bedside chess board or going somewhere to play chess No Girls Girls are nothing to him "Girls can't pity chess' a he says ''Bobby Isn't interested in anybody unless thy play there just aren't many kids who like it says Mrs Fischer To make friends with Bobby you not only have to play chess have to play good chess Maurice Xasper president of thc Manhattan Chess Club cora- mented: We have about 100 students In the club that Bobby could associate with But he 13 so much superior you see He Just plays with the stronger players "Yes Bobby definitely does think well of himself But he is a phenomenon that happens once in a hundred years--in a thousand "He is also a young boy He Is not accustomed to such publicity and he can't handle It yet But you must give him a little time Ile is a good boy" 'i ---TN-2---N -S1ER' 14E GOES 1-Tz-: ''444v IJ9-t AS VJE WERE 0 7 -4 1 2 If )--t 1tcrk --Np NN GEI'lltAG -ro Ktlow ---0 01 i lt-" HIM! vosirdi Aloru11 4f 1 s41k----sr- 1: LETS el 1 fr--: --) )1 iliti El A 7( 11 S'A it'l: r33 1 z'' 1 i 4 41 P' (4) i 0 Pwo 0---No IL 0 (Pap 1 'er: i if 14' 4-41 1) --------I-- ---7-'' t'll 10 Ise 's sk) 4 --1--- -9essoc-L of 1) i sir''' 1' 7 1:4 Y3 '1' 011Y -7------ (0 1 -4 1 4 1 1 "One of the reasons our high' school seniors do well in competitive tests" a school official observed "is that they have be-I come accustomed to takingl them" The results of the testing and various observations of the teachers go into the pupil's cumulative record As an example the sixth-grade teacher in reviewing the first five grades of Johnny a new sixth grader may note that his IQ is comparatively low that his reading level in the first grade was quite low but that he picked up a bit in the fourth and fifth grades She notes that his aritlunetic achievement was at the third-grade level when he was in the fifth grade and that the same is true of his language achievement Mental Attitudes 1 Notations show that in the first grade he did a lot of daydreaming in the second grade he was unhappy and irritable in the third and fourth he was inattentive and that in the filth he was unhappy She sees comments of teachers that in the first grade he frequently fought in the hallways that he quarreled with his playmates in the second grade and that in the fourth grade he was sent home for fighting eh notes also that in the first two grades his health was poor in the third grade he was undernourished In the fourth he was absent frequently with colds and that in the fifth he MO often Sick It is noted that big family has moved five times in six years Miss Natalie O'Brien Mrs Elizabeth Dalton and Mrs Thelma Horacek in replying to questions by members of the school board emphasized that the tests and particularly the intelligence tests "a a only tools" "A boy may have had a heated quarrel with his father before he left home that morning" it was explained "In that case he likely would fall down on his intelliguzce tests" Sometimes too the answers may be more nearly correct than the instructor thinks Example Given For example one of the questions On a test given a boy was: "If there were no bread at the grocery store where would you go next to get bread?"
