NEW YORK, March 4. - Too
many trained nurses in the coun-
try and large numbers of sick per-
sons going without nursing care is
the surprising condition revealed in
a survey Of the situation reported
by DR.. May Ayres Burgess to the
American Nurses Association, Just
made public here in the associa-
tons official organ, the American
Journal of Nursing.
In Maine, for example, DR..
Burgess found that the average
nurse can not expect more than 2l5
days Of employment in any given
year. Three hundred days of en-
ployment a year is considered a
reasonable average, but the survey
shows that this is out of the ques-
ton for the trained nurse in many
states.

neither better nor cheaper nursing

Geister, director at the headquarters
of the association.
Miss Geister explained that 1t is
partly poor distribution of nurses
and partly the fact that nurses
nave not been trained to care for
particular types of illness that is
responsible TO, a situation in which
many patients lack nursing care
while many nurses are having a
hard struggle to make living.
She said that the nurses income
now is at a dangerous minimum,
and she can not reduce her fees
and still live.
ITO remedy these situations, nurs-
ing schools must give more thought
to the product they are turning out,
and less to the incidental service
the student nurse gives the hos
pital," Miss Geister declared.
AS a result of DR.. Burgess sur
vey, nursing leaders are considering
a campaign to reduce the number
Of students of nursing as well as
to redistribute and re-educate those
already registered for service.

PAVING SETUP
CALLED UNFAIR
TO BLACKTOP
Asphalt Promoter Alleges
State Specifications
Favor Concrete.

Charge that "an unfair setup for
concrete" is the real cause of de-
lay in signing contracts for having
state Road 81, from Madison to YER
sailles. was made today by Otto
Keeler, Kentucky rock asphalt pro-
moter.
Keller declared that in The Times
story of Wednesday the figures
showing his product as highest
priced per mile were unfair" in
that the black-top specifications
called for twenty-foot pavement
and concrete, eighteen-foot.
1t is this difference in width Of
which Keeler complains. On the
eighteen-foot basis the Kentucky
rock asphalt bid would be lower
than the concrete, he asserts, al
though higher than the bituminous
retread.
The latter Keeler terms a Sec
ondary type" and declares a first
grade road only can be had by the
use of his product over the present
macadam foundation, or by tearing
out the base and rebuilding with
concrete.
Keeler also asserts his proposal is
the best for the state in saving the
base and providing a first rate road
and that Chairman Albert j. Wede-
king of the state highway commits
sion should be applauded for fight
ing for it.
Explanation of the differing
widths was based on federal re-
quirements by William H. Titus,
chief engineer of the state highway
commission.
He said that black-top paving
must be wider, since it thins out on
the edges, while concrete paving is
the thickest there. The concrete
job also provides for gravel
shoulder, which isn't included in the
black-top specifications, he pointed
out.

he believed were justified by the evil
dence taken. Among them were:
The Democratic primary in Ala
bama in 1880 was illegal.
Bankhead did. not attempt ito
weaken or evade the illegal action
taken by the Democratic executive
committee in fixing the qualif1ca-
lions of candidates at the primary"
His expense statement for the
primary did not comply with Ala
bama law and under that law he
was not entitled to have his name
placed on the ticket.
About 36,905 illegal votes, or 1872
per cent of the total vote, were cast,
or "a per cent Of the total, 1888
ballots, were not numbered as
directed by Alabama law.
Other rules regarding treatment
Of ballots were violated by election
officers.
Further irregularities were noted
by Hastings in the matter of bal
lot boxes and seals, election lists,
ballots marked before they reached
the voter, soliciting of absentee
ballots and payment of poll taxes
for other persons.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-03-04

Hastings report represents con-
illusions drawn from this evidence.
In it he said:
II realize that it is a serious mat
ter for the United States senate to
declare that there was no election
in Alabama in 1880. I do not see,
however, how it can be avoided
without approving the shocking
facts disclosed by this record"
Hastings report must be ap-
proved by both subcommittee and
full committee before it is sub
mitted to the senate. If that body
concurs, Bankhead's seat auto
matically will become vacant and
a new election must be held.
