"Through health we can defeat the evil threat of communism," Brigadier General James S. Simmons, (Ret.), dean of the School of Public Health, declared last night at Houston, Texas.
General Simmons spoke on "Health and Manpower in Peace or War" at the banquet of the Third Gulf Coast Regional Conference on Industrial Health.
