The question has been asked a number of times because be-cause of the "knocking" encountered en-countered at different times by the volunteer workers in the campaign. Well, there is only one answer, an-swer, the hospital would close, of course. Frankly, we don't think it's going to be as bad as that, even though some residents able to contribute to local Community Chest drives have so far failed to do their part. There are too many right-thinking right-thinking people who appreciate appreci-ate having a modern hospital serving not only Provo, but the entire country-side within with-in a radius of some 50 miles. One out of every 10 persons in the United States went to a hospital last year. You may be the tenth, needing immedi-iate immedi-iate hospitalization to save your life. Certainly, one's life is worth one day's pay. Is the life of a child worth that srmll sacrifice? You give your own answer! to that question!

S., British Merchant Shipping Ship-ping to be Co-ordinated for Mutual Needs; "Voluntary" Control Tried First; Requisitioning Re-quisitioning Posible Under Law; 11 New Legislators Already Have Families On Congressional Pay-roll. WASHINGTON When Harry Hopkins reported to Roosevelt that the most urgent British need is cargo ships, he started a series of moves that are destined to have far-reaching consequences on U. S. shipping. In process behind the scenes is the establishment of a tie-up between be-tween . the U. S. Maritime Commission Com-mission and the British Ministry of Shipping, under which the merchant mer-chant fleets of both nations will in effect operate as a single coordinated co-ordinated unit. That is, British bottoms will be withdrawn from Pacific and African routes, and U. S. ships will take their- place. This would give the British some cargo vessels desperately needed to carry the war materials soon to pour from the U. S., and at the same time enable the p. S. to obtain rubber, chromite, tungsten, tung-sten, wool, and other strategic commodities without being dependent de-pendent on British ships. However, while the advantages are apparent, the plan will entail some drastic changes in the control con-trol of U. S. shipping. . The British war government now has an iron grip on all its shipping. They first tried to regulate reg-ulate their merchant fleet by a licensing, or priority, system; but this eoon proved unsatisfactory. When Churchill came into power the government bluntly requisitioned requisi-tioned all vessels. The TJ. S. took similar action during the World War, but until Hopkins' return from London, Defense De-fense authorities had given little thought, to the problem beyond the construction of more bottoms.

The address ad-dress will be carried on nationwide networks of the National Broadcasting Broad-casting Co.. the Columbia Broadcasting Broad-casting System, and Mutual Broadcasting System, and will be sent abroad by short wave. Mr. Roosevelt designated as inaccurate in-accurate stories that any specific numbers or types of naval vessels are being considered for dispatch to Britain. He admitted there might be ship transfers in the future, but said it would be Impossible Im-possible for him to write a story of this subiect now, because he has not given consideration to the problem. Transfers Considered No consideration has been given yet to transfers of any type or numbers of naval vessels, Mr. Roosevelt said. Other sources had reported that 99 ships torpedo boats, old destroyers de-stroyers and patrol boats were expected to be transferred during the course of the year. Stimson disclosed the shipment of materials at a press conference preceding Mr. Roosevelt's. "They have been started from the place where they were deposited," de-posited," he said. Asked whether any of the materials ma-terials had arrived in Britain, he replied with this question: "How long do you think it takes to cross the Atlantic? Perhaps you would like me to tell you what ships they are going on?" When it was suggested planes could be flown across the Atlantic. Atlan-tic. Stimson declined to discuss British aid matters further.

The bill did not use the three hours allotted lor general debate, but acted soon after Chairman James G.

He said the axis power would attack this nation "the moment it serves their interests to do so."

There are now 2,000,400 voluntary volun-tary prints on file at the FBI office of-fice in Washington, D. C, the speaker said. It takes only two to five minutes to identify a set of prints from the 14,000,000 on file. Civilian prints are filed separately from the criminal prints. The United States exchanges fingerprints with 83 foreign countries, coun-tries, Mr. Newman said. He pointed out that no two fingerprints finger-prints are alike. Civilian fingergrinting is a national 20-30 club project. President Kenneth Martin presided pre-sided at the meeting. Members of the 20-30 club basketball team.

The house was to meet this afternoon if enough members could be located to form a quorcm. Maw Favors Plan-It Plan-It appeared likely the senate would strike the enacting clause of Gov. Maw's master reorganization reorganiza-tion bill before the day was over, and Maw said he would not reintroduce rein-troduce the measure at the special session beginning Monday noon. He indicated the entire program could be effected through the so-called so-called supplemental bills, and said he was confident the reorganization reorganiza-tion session would push them through. Some quarters believed, however, that Maw might re-introduce the master plan if the leg islators failed to act quickly.
