In the Burlington Hotel. Installa

Installed the departmental officers.
Alvin H. Sanders, 87, Dies;
Authority on Livestock
By the Associated Press
WAYNE, Pa., July 15.—Alvin H.
Sander*, 87, an authority on live
stock breeding and one-time Tariff
Board official, died today at his
home.
Before his retirement 13 years ago,
he was managing editor and a part
owner of the Breeders Gazette, a
Chicago publication devoted to live
stock interests.
He wrote a number of histories,
now used in many colleges, on breeds
of livestock.
Mr. Sanders served as United
States Commissioner to the last Par
is Universal Exposition in 1900 and
for four years was vice chairman of
the Tariff Board by President Taft's
appointment.
Mr. Sanders was one of the found
ers of the International Livestock
Exposition, and was its vice presi
dent since 1900.
Public Health Banquet Hears
Truman Plea to War on Disease
President Truman called for "a
concentrated attack upon disease
in all its forms in order that our
Nation may reap future dividends
in improved health and physical
fitness," in a letter read last night
at the 150th anniversary banquet of
the Public Health Service.
The 700 who attended the cele
bration in the Hotel Statler's Presi
dential Room were also told man's
life span may be extended to 150
years.
In a letter to Oscar R. Ewing,
Federal Security Administrator, the
President wrote:
“In 1798 the average life expect
ancy of a newborn baby was about
35 years. Smallpox was the only
communicable disease for which we
had a preventive. Major surgery
was virtually a death sentence.
Democracy's •'Kesponsimiity."
“In its march down the years
; medical science has progressed to
the present day knowledge and
concepts which can provide abound
ing health and longer life for our
people. Perhaps no other human
1 need is more closely allied with na
tional wellbeing than is health.
"Our democracy fosters freedom
of thought and individual initiative.
It must also accept responsibility
| for the physical well-being of the
people. Let us resolve now to under
take a concentrated attack upon
disease in all its forms in order that
our Nation may reap future divi
dends in improved health and physi
cal fitness.”
Man may live as long as 150
years, due to future medical re
search, Mr. Ewing said. He said
the future of the Public Health
Service is in the field of research
as a co-ordinating group.
“The future of the PHS is limit
less,” Mr. Ewihg declared. "We are
just peering over the horizon of the
possibility of making life richer and
better. We have the finest hospitals
and medical service in the world In
certain places—for certain groups.
“Can’t Have Medical Slums.”
“We have to take care of the
deficit areas. We can’t have medical
slums anywhere in America. We
must see to it that we get medical
| help to the last 145 mrilionth person
in the United States,” Mr. Ewing
declared.
Surgeon General Leonard A.
Scheele told the meeting that the
next 150 years will offer an increas
: ing challenge, but he declared he
is optimistic about the future.
Specially honored were the top
veterans, Dr. C. L. Williams, sr.,
who has 40 years service, and Daniel
Masterson, who has spent 45 years
in PHS. Dr. Thomas Parran and
Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, the two most
recent heads of the Service, re
ceived special recognition,
i The Marine Band Orchestra and
the Singing Squires, a quartet con
sisting of Lewis B. Sims, tenor;
William P. Shanahan, lead: Dean
A. Snyder, baritone, and Elton D.
Woolpert, bass, entertained the
group. William E. Coyle, radio and
television director of The Star, was
master of ceremonies.

Attempt to Kill Czech
DefenseChiefCharged
ly the Auocialtd Prw$
PRAGUE, July 17.—The Czecho
slovak Ministry of National Defense
said today that underground groups
in the American zone of Germany
murdered one Communist official
in Czechoslovokla and attempted to
kill Gen. Ludvik Svoboda, the de
fense minister.
The ministry said the plotters were
in the “American spy organization
C.I.C. (possibly this referred to the
United States Army counter-intel
ligence.)
Gen. Svoboda’s present where
abouts has been a mystery. The
minister has been absent from his
desk since July 13. Yesterday the
official Czech news agency, CTK,
anounced he was on a month's leave
of absence.
Reports circulated abroad that
Gen. Svoboda had fled to Germany
have been denied here.
Gen. Svoboda, a non-party man
before the Communists took over
_____
the government, joined the party
only a few weeks ago. There have
been rumors that he was to be sue*
ceeded by an old-line Communist.
The Defense Ministry’s report said
70 persons have been arrested and
have confessed to plotting against
Oen. Svoboda. It said four former
Parliament members who were lead
ers in the plot fled the country.
The statement said Maj. Augus
tin Sram, head of the Partisan
branch of the Commulst Party, was
murdered in May by a former offi
cial of the Czechoslovak National
Socialist Party who had fled the
country after the Commuists took
power in February.
