S3)D,OlD IS SOUGHT
FOR NURSES HOME
Application Unit Of Works
Program Gets Columbia
Hospital Plea.

An application for 100000 for con-
struction of a nurses home at Colam-
bia Hospital for Women, Twenty fifth
and L streets, was filed with the Di-
vision of Applications and Informa-
tions of the works program today by
David Lynn, architect of the Capitol
who has supervision of construction
and maintenance Of the hospital.
The money would be used TO con-
struct accommodations for 10 nurses
including bed rooms, an assembly
room, library, sitting room, laundry
and heating plant.
Facilities Inadequate.
Lynn pointed out in the application
that facilities for nurses living quar-
ters are so inadequate that at present
80 nurses are forced to reside away
from the hospital because no quarters
whatever are available and that Is
others are forced 70 live in an old
brick building that is in need of ex-
tensive repairs.
The chief building used at present,
he said, has been repeatedly con-
demned as unfit for habitation and
as fire menace for Is years.
1t is an ancient frame structure and
was described by the architect as ''in
wretched condition. and hardly more
than Slum except that 1t is kept
clean and neat"
Efforts have been made frequently
by the hospital authorities to supply
q modern nurses home, but all OF
them have proved fruitless. The new
building requested, 1t was said, will
be adequate to replace both the pres
ent antiquated structures and permit
the full staff to reside on the hos
pital grounds. The present buildings
are on the hospital grounds, just
north Of the hospital proper, and ad-
jacent to the Weather Bureau.
Navy Makes 2 Requests.
At the same time. the Navy Depart
ment made two more requests for al
lotments: $4,000 to provide housing
for the Naval Reserve at the Naval
Air Station at Anacostia, including in
struction room, lobby, dressing room
and space for inspection and exam
nation, and $4,000 for the repair OF
roads. paving, walks and grounds at
the Naval Observatory.
The division also announced an al
lotmeat was recommended to the
President today for $500 for a COM
bination Qutbuilding. garage and COM
fort station at Soldiers Home Ma
tional Cemetery.
s202, $50 o. KID for Fort Myer.
The Advisory Committee on Allct-
ments yesterday recommended ex-
penditure of $202,0s for work at
Fort Myer.
Maj. G. c. Benson, executive officer
at the post, said today he did not
know In what manner the funds would
be used because it would be allocated
for specific purposes. For Myer has
requested reconstruction of buildings
and other improvements totaling
about $1,000 900 and Maj. Benson was
unable to state what improvements
will be taken care of with an initial
allotment.
It is believed. however, that q por-
ticn of the allotment will be used for
repairing and improving of the BACH
elor quarters and barracks for the

Asserting that after two years the
Government has succeeded in getting
to the courts onl four cases for en-
forcement" of 7-A, Connery added:
The result of this non-enforcement

widespread and growing bitterness on
the part of workers, who feel, with
much justification, that they have
been given fair words, but betrayed
by the Government in the execution
Of its promises.

continue uncorrected, it will become a
menace to industrial peace that can
not be exaggerated"

Supporting President Roosevelt,
the House Foreign Affairs Com.
mittee today rejected the neu.
trality bill passed by the Senate
yesterday. The vote was Is to 8.
The chief issue was the Senate
provision for a mandatory EN-

discretionary power wanted by
Mr.. Roosevelt.
A subcommittee was named to
draft a substitute for the Senate
bill.
McReynolds Hopeful
Representative McReynolds Cd
Of Tennessee, chairman of the
committee, announced that the
stumbling block in the Senate bill
was the mandatory provision.
Other differences between Senate
and House, he said, could be
ironed out, adding: ~
II still am hopeful of being
able to bring q bill to the House
floor"
All Democratic members of the
committee, with one exception,
stood by the President, who out
lined his objections to the Senate
bill at a White House conference
last night with Secretary of State
Hull, Assistant Secretary Moore
and Representative McReynolds.

draft changes in the Senate bill
