China's Battle Against Disease Outlined by Doctor In addition to her war against Japan, China has another conflict on it hands the war against disease for which it is making ample preparation, according to Dr.

Phillips P. Greene of the Yale in China Association, Speaking at the final lecture of a aeries for members of the Society of Friends of the Long Island College of Medicine in the institution, 350 Henry Dr. Greene pointed out that every disease known in- this country is to be found In China, often in a much greater degree, besides scourges from which we are largely free. "Pulmonary tuberculosis in an active form reaches as many as one of every five persons in some Chi Lack of State Homes for Boys Called 'Disgrace' Failure of the State to provide sufficient institutions for delinquent boys was condemned as a "public disgrace" last night by Justice Isaac Siegel of the Domestic Relations Court in an address over station WNYC. Speaking under the auspices of the American Citizenship Committee of the New York County Lawyers Association, justice Siegel said: "We need an additional State Training School or intermediary school without further delay.

The men in the State Legislature representing our city must assert themselves so that we can obtain the necessary relief." He termed juvenile delinquency a disease, the first symptoms of which are truancy, and cited cases in the Children's Court. Pointing out that the "root of the trouble" is "the broken home and a real lack of interest by parents as to who are the associates of their children," Justice Siegel added that poverty and unemployment cannot be deemed the chief cause of delinquency. He said the "guiding spirit of our Judges" is to "save, salvage and rehabilitate" and he outlined nine ways by which to reduce the number of delinquent children. Included were spiritual guidance, the fact that parents must recognize their responsibilities to children and understand that school teachers and Childrens Courts cannot take their place, more vocational guidance in high schools and stricter enforcement of laws to keep children out of cafes and similar places. 4 Trr- I In the number of plane and personnel, and Susan put forth her best effort.

Then, three weeks to a day, Lieutenant Benson came into the canteen and, in his quiet, poker-faced way, said, "Put on your cap and Jacket, Susan. We're taking a little trip." He held her uniform Jacket, handed her her cap. They went out and climbed into a Jeep with a driver and a heavily armed M-P. An army truck loaded with armed soldiers followed as the Jeep set out. Lieutenant Benson said, "Word Just came in.

Steve had been hiding in occupied territory, and finally some Chinese got him through the Nip lines by the underground. He's at a little village The village stood in a small valley, and there was a mission with a bombed roof. People swarmed about the two vehicles and, eager and curious, they gestured toward the mission. The truck stopped and the soldiers mounted guard. The Jeep went on to the stone building, and Lieutenant Benson went inside.

A moment later he called Susan in. Sunlight slanted in a golden shaft through a hole in the roof. A venerable Chinese bowed and ushered Susan into a cell-like room. Steve lay on a pallet, and the sight of him wrenched Susan's heart. He was gaunt and unshaven, his clothes were in tatters, and his left leg was heavily bandaged.

Susan gave way to tears as she knelt beside him. "Steve oh, Steve!" she cried, her fare against his chest. His arm went about her and she felt it trembling. "Was it so terrible. Steve?" "Not too terrible, now that I get such a welcome.

Susan, does it mean "It means that I love you," Susan whispered. And Lieutenant Benson broke In, "It also means that we must clear out of here. It's much too close to enemy lines for ah, lovemaking." Between them they helped Steve up out of the mission. Outside the day was astonishingly bright and the China sky very blue. Susan looked up at Steve gaunt face and saw his flashing smile.

Neither spoke, but each knew. Everything was all right. They could believe nese areas," he said. "Dysentery end cholera still take a heavy toll in hot weather. Malaria is a recurring scourge.

He pictures what a guarantee for peace In Asia a strong, well-organized China will be. "He believes China may best serve the interest of world peace by developing her means of transportation, her heavy industries, her light in dustries and her schools. One very great need, he points out, is better health for her people." Dr. Greene, chief of the surgical division of the Hsiang Ya Hospital, China, has come to Long Island College of Medicine for a six-month period as a visiting professor.

But do you mean that if Steve Rand once said he had been a cowboy and a seaman he told the truth." Colonel Ragen looked puzzled. "Why, certainly," he said. "I never knew Steve Rand to lie.

He was not that petty-minded." Pete Larue shot Susan a glance felt a sudden lightening of heart. She did not want these men to remember Steve as a braggart and a liar, she wanted them tS think of him as genuine, as someone they had been glad to know. A number of the men in the gathering were, like Pete Larue and Kelly Burke, staring angrily at Gregory Ames. Kelly Burkes hands were balled Into hard fists. "Ames, you're the liar," Kelly said.

And you're the phoney. There's something else, too. It was you who slugged me last night, and you wanted Steve Rand blamed for it. I ought to slug you now for Steve!" Kelly lunged forward, but Susan caught hold of his upraised arm. "Don't, Kelly don't.

It will only get you into a Jam!" He subsided muttering, and Gregory Ames was suddenly pale. "You're right, Captain," he said thickly. "Right in everything. I'm a liar and a phoney. For five years I've hated Steve Rand, hated him because I envied him.

He was everything I secretly admire, and besides His voice broke, and he looked a broken shell of a man. "He once came between me and the woman I love. Steve Rand was all he appeared, and more. And I I'm a man who lives the exciting life only in words put down on a printed page." He looked at the silent men about him. He looked at Susan.

And he said hollowly, "It will do no good for me to say I'm sorry." He turned and stumbled from the clubhouse. So a week passed, and hope was gone. Another week passed, then another.

For a few days, for a week, there was a chance that word might come in. But the native grapevine, running invisibly between occupied and unoccupied China, was silent. If Steve Rand lived, he had not reached friendly i hands. Finally the lieutenant's personal effects were packed. The communique stating, "One of our planes failed to return to its base," had already been issued.

Kelly Burke told Susan how it happened. The bombers had dropped their loads over the target, then had to fight off a swarm of Zeros. Kelly's plane was crippled, with one engine on fire, and an enemy fighter closed in for the kill. Steve Rand had seen what was happening. Over his radio he had said, "Take it easy, Kelly.

This monkey is mine!" He had dived on the Zero with empty guns. His wing tip had struck the enemy plane, as he meant It to, and both fighters fell twisting down through the clouds and out of sight. That night at the Red Cross canteen, an indiscreet flier commented, "Well, he took a decent way out for a heel." Susan's heart ached at that, and she had to fight back tears. But Kelly Burke protested. He swung angrily on the speaker, and said, "Lay, off that talk, fella! For my money, Rand was a right guy!" Gregory Ames laughed unsteadily.

His lean cheeks were flushed, his eyes were feverishly bright, and it was apparent that somewhere he had gotten hold of liquor and had been drinking heavily. "A right guy!" he mocked. "That's a Joke!" Kelly whirled and started for the man, but at that moment Colonel Ragen, who was in command of the bomber squadron, entered the clubroom. The colonel had caught the nature of the conversation. "Captain Burke is right, Ames," he said quietly.

"I knew Steve Rand a long time. I knew him as a youngster. He grew up on a ranch near my family's in Texas. He and I were close friends until he left Texas to go adventuring at sea. Steve was well, he had a sort of royal touch." Gregory Ames looked as though he had been struck.

Smith, who for 17 months was a prisoner of the Japs and recently returned on the Gripsholm. Mr. Smith speaking at the fourth annual United Nations' Service in All Saints Episcopal Church, 7th Ave. and 7th related to an assemblage of more 500 persons his experiences and work in the prison camp. The captives were not "pushed around," he said, but were allowed to run their own affairs, subject to Japanese supervision.

They organized and Mr. Smith was "chief of sanitation." For many years Mr. Smith was in charge of the American Church Mission in Changshu, Kiangsu, China.
