TV MENTALLY ILL MacCurdy Takes Post as State Chief Albany CT) A plan for training younjr New York doctors In treat inp the mentally 111 was outlined yesterday by Dr. Frederick Mac- Curdy, 55, of New York City, as he became the state's mental hypiene commissioner. A professor of hospital adminis tration at Columbia University and director of the Vanderbilt Clinic at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Dr. MacCurdy succeed Dr. ill.

Beckett Lang, acting commissioner since the resignation of Dr. William J. Tiffany Apr. 1. The salary of the position la 512,000 a I yen r.

Discussing policies he Intends to introduce. Dr. MacCurdy said he believes nil physicians should be familiar with mental illnesses. 1 "I think we should use the state's mental hospital system for training young doctors, with interne-ships and otherwise, so they will I have a better picture of the mental 'side of medical care regardless of whether they intend to spscialize in psychiatry," he explained. ur.

iinany resigned a Moreland Act investigation into an outbreak of amoebic dysentery at Creedmoor State Hospital was ordered by Governor Dewey in March. Appointment of a five-member Moreland Commission to reorganize the mental hygiene department followed a week ago. "The Creedmoor investigation brought out the fact that there are certain inherent weaknesses in the department's administrative setup." MacCurdy said. "These things must be corrected, and greater accent placed on the medi cal care and health protection of patients. vn.ie rsew lork's mental hos pital system is probably the best in the country as to housing, its administrative features are not up to standards achieved elsewhere Born in Sidney, Dr.

MacCurdy is a graduate of the Uni versity of Washington and Columbia University. He served overseas w.th an army medical unit during World War 1, and after the war engaged in Rei Cro3s rehabilitation work in France and in public health administration in Poland, Montenegro and A'bania. He returned to this country in 1922, and helped organize the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, a $25,000,000 project which opened in 1928. He later was named head of the center's Vanderbilt Clinic, the largest private hcspltal clinic in the country. Dr.

MacCurdy practiced as a neuif'logist and psychiatrist in New York City from ,1914 to 1927, and still is a registered psychiatrist in the state. He has specialized in hospital administration, however, since 1928. Student Nurse Use Forbidden State Hospitals Albany (JP) Employment of student nurses under 18 years of age in state mental hospitals has been forbidden by Attorney General Nathaniel A. Goldstein. In an opinion in reply to an inquiry by Dr.

H. B. Lang, assistant commissioner of mental hygiene, the attorney general pointed out student nurses under 18 whose duties may bring them into contact with patients and their care are employes. The Legislature last year specifically prohibited the employment of persons under 18 in correction and mental hygiene institutions, Goldstein said, adding "this includes student nurses." In another ruling Goldstein, reversing an opinion of his predecessor, John J. Bennett, held Army Reserve nurses on leave from state service who were in the reserves prior to Apr.

1, 1942, are entitled to differential pay. Slum Clearance Pushed by Moses New York JP) Park Commissioner Robert Moses told the Board of Estimate yesterday that unless the contract with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for the proposed $50,000,000 Stuyvcsant town housing development is approved "it wiil be the death knell of slum clearance" in New York City. Moses, originator of the plan, outlined the city's efforts to get private companies interested in slum clearance and said of the proposed project: "If you don't want it, I can assure you there won't be any for a long time. It will be the death knell of slum clearance." The park commissioner was before the board to ask for approval of the formal contract and plan of the development, which would be situated on the east side. Political Bosses Hit As Aide Quits OPA New York Russell H.

Potter, ousted acting director of the New York District OPA office, resigned yesterday from the agency, charging that "political machinations designed to create a powerful political machine in the Office of Price Administration" forced him to do so. The former OPA official made public his letter of resignation to Sylvan L. Joseph, regional director, in which he said he could "not fulfill my duties sincerely knowing that the OPA is under the thumbs of political bosses Ed Flynn, Frank Kelly, Mike Kennedy and Senator Mead and others." Tieup in Detroit Laid to Racial Dispute Detroit UP)A walkout that virtually has halted production of Rolls-Royce aircraft engines and Packard marine engines at Pack-aid Motor Company hero continued last night while a United Automobile Workers-CIO official said the union may ask the Army to take over the plant. Earlier, Leo Lamotte, East Side regional director of the UAW-CIO, announced that workers who walked out after racial dispute had voted to return on the afternoon shift. A company spokesman, however, syd "only a handful" of employes reported for the 4 p.

m. shift at the marine division and added that 95 per cent of aircraft nnd marine engine production lias been stopped. A union official, who could not be quoted, said UAW-CIO officials had decided to consult Army authorities after several thousand workers milling around the plant gates yesterday afternoon had ignored stewards' pleas to return to their jobs. Union leaders who appeared at the gates were greeted with boos. Norman Matthews, president of Packnrd Local 190, rode in one of the sound trucks that unsuccessfully urged the men back to work.

Officials of the local said the stoppage was "completely unauthorized." A company statement blamed the walkout, which began at 1:30 a. m. on the upgrading of three Negro workers on the final assembly line of aviation engines. Union leaders, however, said they were' not opposed to upgrading of Negroes. They said they were opposed to mixing of white and Negro workers.

In New York. George T. Christopher, president oT Packard, said the stoppage was not a quarrel be tween the management and the men but was one between the men only. MILK STALLED IN PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh (D A strike of AFL drivers against an order of the Office of Defense Transportation to mako deliveries every other day virtually halted home deliveries of milk in Pittsburgh yesterday. The drivers said they objected to having to deliver double loads on every-other-day trips.

Many, hundreds of gallons of milk were dumped into sewers because dairies lacked storage space. Milk deliveries to stores were not affected by the strike. This will not prevent a milk famine In the city, however, if the strike continues, as the Milk Drivers' Union has declined to increase its wholesale deliveries. The public was also able to get milk by going to dairies. Federal conciliators were attempting to settle the dispute.

Sales in Stores For Week Show 42 P. C. Advance Washington UP) The Federal Reserve Board reported yesterday that department store sales last week were 42 per cent higher than during the corresponding week a year ago. In the preceding week such sales were 21 per cent greater than in the similar period in 1942, while in the four weeks ended May 2 they also totaled 21 per cent more than in the corresponding period la-5t year. All Federal Reserve districts reported sales increases last week as follows: Boston 45 per cent.

New York 31, Philadelphia 39, Cleveland 38, Richmond 43, Atlanta 29, Chicago 42, St. Louis 36, Kansas City 52, Dallas 34, and San Francisco 59. The large increases over last year, the board said, reflect in part the fact that this year stores were open for six business days, whereas in the corresponding week last year stores in most Federal Re-servo districts were closed on Saturday in observance of the Memorial Day Holiday. Air Mission Chief In Ecuador Killed Guayaquil, Ecuador UP) Mili tary headquarters at Salinas re ported the death yesterday of Col. Alexander B.

Pendleton, 28, head of a United States aviation mis sion to Ecuador, who was injured when his piano crashed Monday during a flight from the Canal Zone to Quito. He will be buried today with military honors in which nine Ecuadorean planes and a squadron of bombers from the United States base at Salinas will take part. A wreath of flowers- was sent by President Carlos Arroyo Del Rio. ceeded immediately to the White House with Stalin's letter in a portfolio bound with heavy cord and bearing a huge official wax seal. Greeted upon his arrival by his wife, the former Marjorie Hutton, ond several government officials, Davies was asked by reporters if he intended to go at once to the White House.

"Wait a minute and I'll sec," he said, with a complete informality. He slid into a nearby telephone booth, dialed a number, spoke briefly and popped out again. "That's where I'm going," he said. Symbol of Perfect Happiness A RUDOLPH PERFECT DIAMOND They then steamed triumphantly home without so much as having the paint scratched. The entire action took less than 35 minutes.

With the Italy-to-Sicily ferry rail system smashed and disorganized by Allied air raids, the only way open for the Italians to supply Sicily remains by sea from the southern Italian toe ports to the East Sicilian area. The British Navy has successfully determined to close this route as well. I have made trips along the black Sicilian and Italian shores on such missions, but in the words of one naval officer, found "not a single sausage" as the Italians apparently stayed ashore. But early today one British and one Greek destroyer hit the jackpot. Nosing along the shore they spotted a convoy of two small mer chantmen and one seagoing destroyer and one smaller torpedo- boat-tvne destroyer which the Italian navy much favors.

The British destroyer in the lead set the biersrer of the two mer chantmen afire with a single salvo and did the same to the smaller ship a few minutes later, then turned to pursue the escorts which started making smoke and tried to get away in the misty morning darkness. "They were westbound, apparent ly toward Sicily, when we found them between us and the shore. said the first lieutenant of the leading destroyer. "We decided to wing each one before finishing any of them off. lest some of them escape." The Greek destroyer following the British pumped a salvo into the burning merchantman and then another into the smaller mer chantman, which finished her off almost instantly.

The bigger Italian destroyer was fleeing at the rate of about 30 knots but the British destroyer slowed her with direct hits and the Greek followed with shots that stopped her. At this moment the smaller torpedo boat-type appeared out of the mist not much more than 1,000 yards away, speeding in the apposite direction toward the Allied craft. Both attacking ships immediately fire. "We really mashed that little fellow," said one officer. "We fired everything except the bridge machine guns and we might have fired them if we had thought of it.

Personally, I suspect we might have been able to lob a depth charge opto her, though it certainly was not needed. She was just outright destroyed." Allied ships then finished off the merchantman, which exploded and drove the bigger Italian destroyer aground, blazing so fiercely she was obviously ruined forever. The ships wers too close inshore to attempt the rescuing of survivors, although there were many in the water and officers said any reasonably strong swimmer could obviously get ashore so that they were sure that many had saved themselves. Some Italians, notably from the smaller escort, dove overboard before their ship was hit. The "battle." even more clearly than the night and day bombard- Stepson to Face Slaying Charge St.

Louis Prosecuting Attorney Oliver Rasch of Jefferson County said last night he would issue a first degree murder warrant for William Ralph Grasswick, 16, in the slaying of his 38-year-old stepfather, Joseph (Buck) Newell, AFL Hoisting Engineers' business agent. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of homicide and named Grasswick the person who shot and killed Newell in a bedroom of his palatial country home in resort territory labeled by roadside signs "Peaceful Acres." Sheriff Arnold Willmann of St. Louis County quoted the. youth as saying In an oral statement the shooting followed an argument over New-ell's alleged abuse of Grasswick's mother.

"They're doing a wonderful job," he asserted. Lord Halifax was accompanied on his flight by Lady Halifax, their son, Lieut. Richard Wood; Sir Anthony George, British consul general of Boston; Col. Angus McDonnell and T. F.

Tyrrell, vice-consul pf Boston. At a brief press conference which Lord Halifax granted after his arrival at the East Boston airport, he was asked about the euccesa of anti-submarine warfare. "Notice," he said, "that the First Lord of the Admiralty anno'uncpd that wc Kiuea more suds in than IIi'Lt put out. May was a good killing month. If we can catch more subs than he's putting out, we'll be all right." The British Ambassador said that the United Nations' motto should be "keep 'em fighting in the air, on land and on sea." Lord Halifax's party was greeted at the airport by Boyd B.

Tollinton, acting British consul in Bostoit ad Samuel J. Solomon, president of Northeast Airlines. He said his plans are now to return to Washington by this evening. Asked how he liked New Eng land, he said it was "lovely country" and "very much like old England." His son, he said, told him that "one of the advantages of being hit in Africa was that it brought him to America." 35 Workers Hurt In Maryland Blast Cumberland, Between 35 and 40 persons were injured, at least five of them seriously, when an explosion yesterday virtually wrecked one building of the Corporation of America's plant.

Open Monday Ercainfs 5L (fllP9 msp-yi MEASURE OK'D TO AID RUSSIA Washington UP) Told that im portant negogtiations with Russia hung on prompt action, the Senate yesterday amended and returned to the House a $6,273,629.0) lend- lease appropriation bill which would bring direct appropriations for that purpose to nearly $25,000, 000,000. Acting Majority Leader Hill (Ala.) interrupted debate on a federal job confirmation bill to call up the lend-lease measure. "Lend-Lcase Administrator E.

Ktettlnius Jr. has advised me it is most urgent that this bill be passed today if possible," Hill said. "He advises that certain arrangements of the highest importance with Russia cannot be made until it is passed." Stettinius, white-clad and silver- haired, sat in a front row gallery seat for two hours of debate and listened to several senators ask when the United States could expect an accounting of lend-lease funds. Replying, Senator George Ga.) said he was interested in the bookkeeping if the funds would only shorten the war and prevent the spilling of American blood. One Senate amendment struck" out a House proviso that none of the lend-lease funds might be used to pay agricultural subsidies.

The Senate Appropriations Committee considered that to be a policy matter best handled in separate legislation, and also pointed out that lend-lease money was not available for domestic subsidy payments. Ia a last minute action, the Senate added a rider authorizing the sale of 50 million bushels of of government owned wheat at not less than corn parity, to meet a critical livestock feed situation. JJinerences areto be adjusted by a joint Senate-House conference committee. 300 Nazis Killed By Resisting Jews Stockholm -(JP) Despernte Jews, defending themselves at barricades in a pitched battle that lasted three weeks, killed 300 Germans and wounded more than when German elite troops sought to liquidate the Warsaw Ghetto recently, a secret Polish radio station heard here said last night.

Then street and house fighting began as the Germans pressed in with the aid of artillery, machineguns, flame-throwers and even light bombing planes, the broadcast said.
