SUN BATHING IN THE NUDE
SUPPORTED BY DEAN INGE CAUSTIC COMMENT BY SIR JAMES MARCHANT (Rec, November 1, 6.5 p.m.) London, October 31. Dean Inge, who has supported a German publication advocating physical exercises and bathing in the nude for the benefit of sunlight on the skin, to the extent of a lengthy article in the “Evening Standard,” has been roundly castigated by Sir James Marchant, who said “sponsoring idea by Dean Inge and Dr. Saleeby, such as exposing ashen and frequently ugly bodies to England’s November sun, is a grotesque joke. Picture Dean Inge and Dr. Saleebj' clad in a single fig leaf, worshipping the sun in an English November on the steps of St. Paul’s.” [Sir James Marchant is director of the National Council for the Promotion of Race Regeneration. Dr. Saleeby was formerly a practising physician, and is now a eugenist.]
