Bar Association
Giuen Setback

LOS ANGELES, April 3. (U.P) =
A campaign of the state bar asso-
citation to outlaw the asserted prac-
tice of law by banks was delivered a
setback today.
Superior Judge Lester Roth ruled
against the association in sustaining
a general demurrer Of the Security
First National bank Of Los Angeles
to a suit in which the bar asked
that the bank be restrained from
purported law practices. Judge Roth
held the bar association lacks the
capacity to sue because it docs not
represent the bar at all but rather
all the people in the state" An ap-
peal was the only recourse left open
to the association under the ruling
which denied it the right to file an
amended complaint.
Right of an individual attorney to
file the suit was upheld, however, by
Presiding Judge Frank c. Collier.
who granted Attorney William A.
Sherwin a petition to intervene as
an individual lawyer.

mand that the ban be lifted.

they say that this is not the tim
to make experiments, as they neet
the spring business.
Mr.. Van Duzer said that he di
not intend to lift the ban, an
that it was up to the District Con
miSSioners to decide whether tn
experiment should be continued.
He said that when similar ba
was made on parking alon

Commissioners Have Data,
Get Opportunity to Present
Case to Senate Hearing

Hope of regaining the entire
lump sum allotment for the Dis.
trict as recommended by the Blu
reau of the Budget rested with
the Senate today as the District
Commissioners prepared to go be-
fore the Senate District Appropria'
tions subcommittee to testify to-
morrow.
The Commissioners have been
preparing considerable documen.
tary evidence to present the sub
committee since the House last
week voted to reduce from $780,.
900 to $4,365, 900 the Federal con-
tribution to District government
expenditures.
Senator Elmer Thomas CD Of
Oklahoma, chairman. of the sub
committee which will conduct the
hearings, has stated he will give
ample opportunity to District Of
ficials to present their case.
If the Senate restores the lump
sum figure to $5,700,OOO, as it is
expected to do, indications are
that the House will yield on the
proposition, since House leaders
have implied they do not think
the District was treated fairly last
week.
Shorter hours for nurses work
ing at Gallinger Hospital will be
urged by representatives of the

ment Employees during the hear

Of NURSES
PauCitY of Funds for Public
DepIored by First Lady;
Cumming Speaks

Praising the entire nursing pro-
fession as a "self-sacrificing and
unselfish" group of women, Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt today
stressed the need for increased
public nursing and educational
service by nurses in an address
before the national biennial nurS-
ing convention at the Washing
ton Auditorium.
The First Lady addressed a
joint session of the American
Nurses Association, the National
League of Nursing Education and
the National Organization for
Public Health Nursing. The au-
ditorium was packed with more
than 1000 delegates and hum
dreds more were turned away.
Funds Lack Cited
Declaring that there are many
communities which failed to re-
ceive any kind of public health
nursing because of lack Of
funds and the shortage of nurs-
ing personnel of that type, Mrs.
Roosevelt stated that the greatest
need at the present time is to
awaken communities throughout
the country to the necessity of
providing public service. She
said:
"There must be much more
community sense Of response
bility. I am hoping that there
will be an awakening Of COM
munities to the realization of
what can be had in the way
of nursing if they pay a small
individual tax for health work."
Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out that
there will be great opportunities
for nurses in the subsistence
homestead project, where, she
said, there is now a great need
for public nursing.
She said further that in the
future there will be less need for
private nursing and more of a
demand Cor public service
8-HOur Day Urged
The practicability of the 8-hour
day for nurses was discussed this
afternoon by Miss Mary Lee
Mitchell, of st. Louis, Mo-, who
addressed a section meeting of
the American Nurses Association
at the Auditorium.
She pointed out that the 8-hour
schedule has been initiated in st.
Louis for private duty nurses,
and that it has worked out well,
despite criticism and opposition.
DR.. C.. Rufus Rorem, of the
Julius Rosenwald Fund, Chicago,
the need for two
movements in nursing, namely, to
conduct nursing schools on an
educational, rather than a com
or emotional basis" and
to make nursing services avail
able by piece service on "cal-
endar basis"
Sister Olivia, director Of nurS-
ing education at Catholic Univer-
Sity, called on the nurses to
work for four objectives-reason-
able hours, adequate incomes, con-
structive leadership and oppor-
tunities for growth.
Cumming Heard
Adequate public health care for
the poor and also for those who
can afford to pay for only the
oarest medical service was de-
manded by Surgeon General Hugh |
S. Cumming at a group meeting in
the First Congregational Church.
In appealing foc more public |
health service, the Surgeon Gen
eral declared:
81 believe that the health de-
partment Of the future must
give more attention to the prob
lem of providing adequate medi-
cal care for the indig ent and
for the class Of individuals who,
though able to pay something,
cannot afford the usual fees
charged for medical service"
