GENERAL Blue
PRAISES WORK Of NUNS
Writes Cardinal Gibbons Of Their
Heroic Deeds During Influenza
Epidemic Here.

In letter to Cardinal Gibbons yes
terday Surgeon General Rupert Blue
of the United States public health
service paid high tribute to the
heroic work performed by the nuns
Of the various religious orders in
Washington during the epidemic Of
influenza, just now subsiding.
When the plague reached the stage
that made necessary the calling for
volunteer nurses the nuns of all the
orders here placed themselves at the
disposal of DR.. Blue for nursing work.
They were obliged to work long hours
and under trying circumstances. but.

Mr. Eidlitz replied that the room
registration service of the bureau is
receiving 100 applications for rooms
each day. He said that clerks are
coming into Washington while others
are going. and that many were going
because they could not get decent
living accommoda lions. He said also
that the war risk insurance bureau
was increasing its number of EN-
ployes.
Senator Reed said it was apparent
to all that the number of clerks i'll
Washington must decrease with the
end of the war and he asked just how
many war workers there are here.

4.675 Would Live at Plaza.

It was testified that 4,575 applica-
tions had been filed for rooms in the
Union station plaza project. Senator
Hardwick and Senator Reed said that
the number of applications had little
to do with the situation. Senator Hard
wick said there are thousands of en-
ployes of the government in peace or
war times capable of filling many
such hotels as that on the plaza.
The only thing to be decided he
added, 'is whether the government is
going into the hotel business
You do not advocate this project to
house clerks after the war is over?"
Senator Reed asked Mr.. Eidlitz.
Absolutely not" was the reply.
Buildings to Last Fifteen Years.
Senator Reed wanted to know how
long the plaza buildings would stand
up"
Mr.. Eidlitz said, under ordinary con-
ditions and with ordinary repairs,
they would last fifteen years, except
that the roofs probably would have
to be renewed.
He admitted that the emergency
would be passed in a year. and that
the project. simmered down. amounted
to the housing of $500 clerks for that
period
The hearing will be continued to-
morrow morning.
