world becauas poverty, dlaesse, low
living standards and malnutntion
an paring the way for to. aooordlng
to tha ABMrtoan Mission to Lepers.
At aaw victims contract* tha in-
fection, medical care for lepers u
made more difficult and in aome
places has bean shut off entirely,
tha Mtoelon sjUd.
As a result. Dr. Bugena Roland
KeDenbargay. New York, the mli-
•ton's secretary, who was here for
tha 16th annual meeting of the mis-
sion's midwest area, predicted that
tha next few years would add new
thousands to tha present 10,000,003
known cases of leprosy.
Iren tha United States, with the
highest living standards the world
has ever known. Is not free from
this disease, be reported. Immigrant
Cubans, Mexicans Orientals
comprise tha bulk of tha victims In
this country.
Yean af Week Destroyed
War already has blacked out a
fifth of the world's leper colonies,
where medical science finally had
attained some success in the long
struggle to segregate and check the
disease. Dr. KeUersberger said.
In places like last China, Indo-
china, Thailand Burma and the
Philippines, ha declared, the Japa-
nese Invasion has wiped out the
work of years.
“Six thousand lepers at Cullon
Colony In the Philippines main-
tained by the United State* • em-
inent. faced starvation after *at in-
vasion." he said.
The Japs refused to let a boat-
load of rlca go through. ,
Dee seated by Belgium
"Thanks to Oen. MacArthur and
his forces, the boat went through
anyhow, and temporarily at least,
these victims of the world’s oldest
scourge are being fed.
“It is Incredible that this work of
mercy should be shut off. Yet some
of the doctors and nurses at OuBon
to stop It first, each side perhaps
eager to be the benevolent victor.

“In confusion ws stumble blindly
along with prayers for peace on
our lips and bloodstains on our
hands, afraid to go forward, afraid
to stop, and troubled by strangely
perplexed hearts, wherein savagery
and virtue reside Intertwined.
“So, in my opinion, we will never
stop wars until we Individually
cease fighting them and that's what
I propose to do. I propose we pro-
claim a moratorium on aQ pre-
sumed debts of evil done us. to start
afresh by wiping the slate clean and
continuing to wipe it clean.
“This decision is ... the ma-
ture result of hours, days and years
of research . . . any other course
for me a nightmare of hypocrisy
and deceit "
Ayres the current hero of the
Dr Kildare movies and the ex-
h us band of the Misses Ginger Rog-
ers and Lola Lane, was bom in
Minneapolis and started his career
in the entertainment world as a
banjo player. He made his first
Hollywood success in one of Greta

they get sailing orders, telephone
relatives and friends. Army and
Navy wives and sweethearts are
watched In certain areas, especially
near ports and camps. In some,
telephone pay stations h*v« been
closed. This to true not only on the
Atlantic coast but the Pacific. Off
California recent Japanese subma-
rine operations have indicated a
leak somewhere; probably by radio.
Another danger, unsuspected as
it is clever, is sabotaging of Ameri-
can war shipments for Russia.
Thirteen cargoes from a New Eng-
land post have been so badly stowed
and secured that they have broken
loose on the voyage, with serious re-
sults. Investigation points to Ger-
man leadership experienced in se-
cret service, possibly abetted by ele-
mehts so anti-Communist that in
practice they are also anti-Ameri-
