DETERMINED TO
AVOID TYAR
Chicago, Oct. 5 President

mined - to "keep out of war."
"Tet," he added, 'we cannot in

Syphilis And
Unmentionables
By Stuart Rabb
Under the .blazing chande
liers of the WaJdoilf-Astoria
ball-room the doctor stands and
talks to more than two hundred
of the nation's political and so
cial "greats." The doctor has
eyes like ice-pick -points and he
emphasizes his remarks with
jerks of his hand. Hey s telling
the two hundred before him bow
each year finds uncounted thou
sands of Americans dying from
the effects of syphilis. The mi
crophones in front of him carry
his words to millions of radio
listeners. He tells of the hun
dreds who die from diagnosed
syphilis and of the thousands
whose deaths are prudishly
called heart-disease, kidney
trouble and often some un
named malady.
Surgeon - General Thomas
Parran has been waging war on
syphilis for three years. The re
sults of his efforts can already
be counted. Ten years ago no
man would have dared mention
syphilis over the radio. Many
Newspapers had the word on
their "must-not-use" list. De
cent people, in the words of Dr.
Parran, did not have the dis
ease, did not talk about it, and

Freshmen Nominate 32
Candidates During
Assembly
v en For President
By Donald Bisbop
Realizatl011 the ambition
of the Studt council for a
freshman elect'011 to be held
without interference from up
perclass politicians ws believed
in sight yesterday when 32 can
didates were nominated for
four class offices during the
half-hour assembly period. Ten
nominees were named for the
presidency.
The nominations were in
striking contrast with previous
ones. In former years, with two
major political parties support
ing candidates and usually not
more than one independent as
pirant being nominated, the
campaigns were thus narrowed
down, though they were proba
bly more spirited than will be
the campaigning today and - to
morrow. . ......
Of the 32 nominees, 10 were
for president, nine for ivice
president, six for secretary and
seven for treasurer.
Following are the -names of
the men nominated for the four
offices: President, Russ Heb
bard, Simons Roof, Harry Tay
lor, Alan Grimes, Sid Sadoff,
Frank Deaver, J. F. Pullen,
Christian Siewers, Charles Bar
ker and Frank Doty.
Late last night four can
didates for freshman presi
dency withdrew from the
race. They are J. F. Pul
