AN OLD SPY STORY
A United State:: High Commi.-/:ion Court reccntty sentenced a 24-
year-otd Cerman woman for reveaiing American mihtary secrets

time, atthough there have t^^.-r, o'Mf r spying incidents, of course,

PROGRESS RKPORT
Various fat)/<r determine ju.st how g'^d the standards of medica!
care are in any nation. One is the number of doctors in practice,
and the quatity and extent of the facilities for educating physicians.
Jn this, the United States is exceedingly fortunate.
A report made by the American Medn al As ociation tells th<!
Btory. The rcord graduation of f!,M! doctors during 1953-54
brought the nation's physician ;<opula.tion to approximately 220,100.
This means there is a doctor for every 730 persons in the country—
and that too is a new high record.
Moreover, the .-ituotion is destined to become still better.
I'rescrit enrollment in the medical sch'<f)ls is 28,227—the greatest in
history.
As for the schools themsclvc:;, more than $76,000,000 for 1954-55.
And 10 nerw four-year seh'tols arid for remodeling or completion of
buildings for medical in trmtion. Their budgets tota! over $)43,000,-
000 for 1954-5'i And 10 new four-year schools art; scheduled to go
intf< operation within the next five or six ye.ars.
Anit)tcre .tingf<nd unport.'Uit commentary on medical education
Is found in the fact that 2i,32H physicians taught without pay during
thelast. school yciir.iti addition t'ttiit regul.-it fuMtime faculty mem-
bers. The do'tors.obviouly.ari' vitally interested in giving us both
more medic.i1 care and le tter medical care.

The answer to ttie i .and other m ti potent nuestions is Yes.
Moreowr, no one who knows the facts believe ttsat either distribu-

more thorough as time goes by.

and the Division of Defense and
Disaster R^ief of the Governor's
Office have appeared before the
various local government officials
and other interested parties in the
citie?. involved.
Without exception, officials in
each city agreed to cooperate in
the enterprise. That meant that
radar sets could be furnished al-
most immediately by the Weather
Bureau and work on converting
them for use as radar storm
warning devices could be started.
"Mansion" Too Large
Philadelphia, Pa.—In appre-
ciation of many kindnesses shown
her during her last years, Mrs.
Lydia Wood Baily, 80-year-old
widow of a merchant, bequeathed
her 15-room "mansion" to Post-
man John N. McKalvey. However,
McKalvey and his wife just
couidn't get accustomed to the
large home, so they decided to sell
it. The house, which was said
to have cost $175,000 when it was
built by domestic and foreign
artisans in 1925, brought slightly
less than $30,000 at auction re-
cent] y.
Good Memory
Kalamazoo, Mich.—While di-
recting traffic, James Morrison,
traffic officer, saw a face which
he recognized as being the one

The face belonged to Charles A.
Parker, 24, who was wanted on
parole violation charges and as an
escapee from the Coffee Branch
Prison, in Douglps, Ga.
