Army Cancer Cure Prompts Row Over Secrecy
Washington reports Waller Reed General Hospital has made progress in cancer treatment led by Lieut. Col. Milton Freedman, but secrecy over the program leads to friction as Surgeon General Kirk contemplates reassignment and critics condemn wartime medical waste and regimentation. The piece also notes political chatter on a U. S ambassador to Britain and GOP shifts in Congress, with Edith Nourse Rogers’ chairmanship at stake and future battles over veterans’ issues and committee consolidations.

Reading device aids disabled veterans at Portland hospital
A ceiling projection reading machine, donated by three Portland Camp Fire groups, helps bedridden veterans read by projecting book pages onto the ceiling. Eddie Hall, a Medford navy veteran, explored the gadget which is controlled by a hand held aluminum device. The device costs $100, uses film rolls for books, and will be supplied with magazines by national outlets. Camp Fire Girls have a history of service with USO and Red Cross and aid in hospitals and schools across the country.
