August 12, 1945. War-End Issues Call Congress Back Washington, Aug. 11 (AP) Congress will cut short its vacaand reconvene probably on 4 to act on five fion Sept. major issues involved in a sudden change from war to peace. The date was decided on today at conference of President Truman a Senate Majority Leader Alben and Barkley Kentucky.

W. Majority in Leader Massachusetts, John W. agreed McCormack, by Barkley told reporters at telephone. the White House these subjects are to be taken up: Employment Big Issue 1. A bill to provide a maximum $25-a-week unemployment comof pensation up to the 26 weeks federal on a nationwide basis, government to supplement funds where states do not provide such a scale.

2. Removing the surplus war property three-man disposal task board to from sin- the present a ze administrator. 3. The so-called full employment bill designed to link management, labor and government into a vast effort to provide perhaps as many as 60 million jobs in peacetime. Reorganize Government Set legislation 4.

Decisions on what might be needed to keep alive for while those war agencies which still might have a job to do. This 100 would contemplate perhaps the immediate abolition of those whose tasks could be considered ended. 5. Reorganization of the government set-up, merging a number of agencies within regular departments and setting up others as independents. This was one of Pres.

ident Truman's principal proposals soon after taking office. Barkley said he is getting in touch immedlately with committee chairmen to get to work on the legislation involved, complete hearings and "have something ready" for the calendar by the Sept. 4 date, which he did not describe as definite, but probable. Spade Work Needed There is no need for Congress to return before then, Barkley pointed out, for the very reason that this spade work has yet to be done. The Congress recess had been planned to last until Oct.

8. Asked whether the President had recommended or requested the return of the law makers, Barkley said merely that the action is being taken with Mr. Truman's "full approval and cooperation." The Senate leader commented that a new tax bill probably will be under consideration by the House ways and means committee sometime after the Congress reassembles. But he forecast that so much work has to be done on it that there can be no lower levies written into legislation before the end of this year at least. Clinton I.

"You and I must not be marked as the generation who surrendered the heritage of America," the former president told an estimated crowd of 35,000 on his 71st birthday. The address was made at the annual picnic of the Iowa Association of Southern California.

Asks Sober Reflection The Iowa native took note that today is "an occasion for the greatest thanksgiving since the end of the First World War. Our enemies in this even greater world war are surrendering." He appealed, however, for a sober consideration of "the enormous problems which confront us." These, he said: were the problems not only of "recovery in our own country but of recovery of the progressive forces of Western civilization." "The causes lie deep in the holocaust of misery war, from power politics, from the impulse for any change the years which have passed," he said.

Out-Patient Clinics Treat 500-600 Cases Per Month By MARTHA WILLIAMS immunized for whooping cough Four clinics in the out-patient department of the Decatur and Macon County hospital treat between 500 and 600 cases a month, Mrs. Julia Stewart, public health nurse who directs the clinic, reported yesterday. The majority of the patients are treated for venereal diseases in a program under the supervision of the city health department. Dr.

H. J. Burstein is the clinician. Mrs. Grace Hood of the city health department does the follow-up work on these cases and investigates the history of each patient in the venereal clinic.

Since the introduction of the oneday penicillin therapy at the clinic in. April, 82 cases have received this treatment with successful results, Dr. P. A. Steele, city health director, said yesterday.

Shorter Cures Possible The venereal disease clinic is open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a. m. to 10:30 a. m. It is also conducted Wednesday evening to speed the treatment of syphilitic patients.

Therapy for syphilis depends on the case. Cures are now possible in a much shorter time through intensified treatments. "Our aim is to put the war worker back on the job as soon as possible," Dr. Steele said. "We now are 'able to effect cures in six months where formerly it took 18 months." The pre-natal 1 clinic, which offers care to the expectant mother, is conducted each Tuesday afternoon.

The pediatric clinic for children up to six years of age is held Wednesdays. Mrs. Stewart told the story of one youngster who visited the clinic just last week. The child, who will be two years old in a few days, can neither walk nor talk. "Her stomach is bloated -the child is a picture of mal-nutrition such as many folks think only possible in the war devastated countries," Mrs.

Stewart said. Will Investigate Conditions Of the Herald-Review Staff A proper diet was prescribed by our clinic doctor for the child. Visiting nurses will care for her and investigate the conditions that led to the development of her pitiful condition." Tonsils were formerly an item of major concern in the pediatric clinic. Today with the shortage of doctors and nurses, much of this care is being left, whenever possible, until after the war, Mrs. Stewart reported.

The immunization clinic is supervised by Dr. Steele every Wednesday afternoon. Children IRVIN'S COALCO. 1600 East Garfield Phone 2-6452 Phone 3-3331 FULL LINE QUALITY COALS PROMPT SERVICE WANTED! Routeman Steady Work Also Helper in Delivery Dep't. See Mr.

Wenger SCHUDELS' INC. 157 West Main Street -One Block from Any Bus- 5 Million Out Of Army Year After V-J Day Washington, Aug. 11 (AP) Five million or more men be released from the army within 12 months V-J day. This is the estimate of military experts familiar with problems confronting the army; the War department is saying nothing officially. The first to get out, it is believed, will be the 550,00 soldiers who already had a score of 85 points for combat, service and dependency and are eligible now for release.

The critical point score for discharge is expected to be cut promptly after Japanese surrender and there was some speculation that the older men in the army might be given earlier discharges. This would mean, informed sources estimated. the release of an additional million or million and a half within three or four months. By that time, the Japanese territory should be fully occupied and the army then in a position to release an additional three million or more men in the ensuing 8 or 9 months. This would leave a force of three million or less.

The occupation of Japan is expected to require perhaps one million men. The German occupation force is now fixed at 400,000. Garrisons such as Alaska would take approximately 500,000 and the remainder presumably would be assigned to army centers in this country to operate the supply system, hospitals, ports and similar installations.

Who is Eligible Only patients unable to pay private physicians and who are not eligible for aid from township or county funds may be referred to the clinic. Treatment is given for the specific disease or condition for which the patient is referred. Only Macon county residents are eligible with the exception of social hygiene cases. All patients must be referred by physicians.

In cases where the patients are new to the community and unable to obtain a doctor their records are checked by Dr. Steele before they are admitted to the clinic. "It would be a catastrophe for Decatur if the clinics were discontinued here," Dr. Steele said. "Their importance will be even more clearly demonstrated in the postwar period when workers are laid off for periods while industries are reorganized on a peacetime basis.

Expect Post-war Increase "The first expense cut from many family budgets when the 'going gets tough is medical care. We expect an increase in the number of patients in the near future and are preparing them." Mrs. Stewart noted that already the clinic has begun running with a heavier load of patients since a local war plant reduced the number of hours that its employes may work. Dr. Steele believes that a dental and general medical clinic are necessary in the future to keep the health of Decatur's citizens at a high level.

These four clinics are supported through funds allocated to them by the Community Chest.
