...Long "captured" the hospital, discharged an experienced director, and put in charge Dr. Arthur Vidrine, 31, a promising graduate of Tulane University who had done post-graduate work in surgery in London, Oxford and Paris hospitals, as well as in Charity Hospital where Tulane and University of Louisiana medi-cal students all get their preliminary practice. In Dr. Vidrine's particular favor for this important post was the fact that he had learned something of business management from his father, a wealthy Evangeline County planter and an early financial friend of Huey Long...

...that, too, England has a medi cine. Last week the country knew that the Ministry of Labor was keeping 175,000 of the 2,600,000 dole-drawers busy for three-to-six month periods in "reconditioning camps." Joan Fry Lakeman, famed tennist. was directing a Society of Friends program which would furnish gar den plots, seeds, tools to another...
