Headline Compulsory X-ray of United Nations Staff 
Caption Description Secretary-General Trygve Lie is the first of 2,900 members of the United Nations Secretariat to undergo a compulsory chest x-ray examination at Lake Success headquarters. Awaiting their turn are Robert G. Jackson, Assistant Secretary-General in charge of coordination, centre, and Andrew W. Cordier, Executive Assistant to the Secretary-General.
The X-Ray survey organized by UN Health Clinic in cooperation with the New York City Health Department is considered an essential part of their health programme, especially in view of the fact that large members of United Nations employees are recruited directly from countries where the people’s health suffered from the effects of the war, acute shortage of food and inadequacy of medical care.
