NURSES NEEDED
BY HOSPITAL

If patients at Freedmen'S Hos
pital are to receive the best care
that medical science has to offer,
16 additional graduate nurses
must be added to the staff, Sec
retary of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes declared today in his an
nual report for the fiscal year
ended June 80 last.
BY the addition of nurses, IckeS
added. hours of duty might be
reduced to a daily basis of eight
hours in accordance with stand
ard requirements. He said that
$20,160 would be required for
this purpose.
In support Of this contention,
it was pointed out that the per
sonnel shortage became so acute
during the last winter that it was
necessary to close one ward of %
beds in order to maintain fair
standard" of nursing.
Patients receiving treatment in
the out-patient department num-
bered 23,742, of which 1916 were
new cases, the report stated. Emer
gency cases were placed at 6,537
and the report continued that this
department was greatly over
crowded and many persons could
not be given attention needed be-
cause of lack of personnel.
Physical equipment and susie
nance have been met fairly ade-
quately" at the hospital, it was
asserted, but the increase in per
sonnel has "in no degree" kept
pace with the steady growth of
the institution.
Indoor patients under care dur
ing the year at the hospital to-
tailed 5,063, the report stated.
Surgical operations numbered g.
OBS and in the dental department
1850 cases we're treated.

BRITISH LORDS
HOPE END OF
CRISIS NEAR

LONDON, Dec. 7 GN.SO Hope
for an early settlement Of the con-
stitutional crisis was expressed in
the House of Lords today as Wis
count Halifax, Lord Privy Seal and
government leader in the Upper
Chamber, repeated Prime Minister
Baldwin's commons remarks that
the King had not yet reached a
decision.
Dozens of peeresses sat in a spe-
cial gallery to hear the session.
After listening to the governments
statement, Lord Smell, leader OF
the opposition, said:
"In the opinion of my noble
friends it is inadviSable any dis
cuSSiOnS should take place at
this stage. without the essen
tial facts before us, any such
discussion would of necessity be
unreal and might be injurious.
"On the other hand, the mat
ter should not be allowed to drift
indefinitely, and we hope as soon
as circumstances permit, the gov
ernment will give Parliament
any information at their dis
pOSal."
Liberals also approved awaiting
the next move from the King.
The Marquis of Crewe, liberal
spokesman in the House of Lords,
attacked reports from some ire
sponSible quarters" stating the
government had applied pressure
on the King. He said:
1 feel sure that Your Lord
ships are all gratified to know
the statements which appeared
in some irresponsible quarters
that His MajeStry'S government
had applied some undue pres
sure on His Majesty to declare
his decision on this matter are
altogether without foundation.
LAUDS QUEEN MARY
II feel on the contrary we all
arc AucDkCu W GAC pECHlCE
and the government for the at
titude they have adopted in
this difficult matter. In ex-
pressing our profound sympathy
with His Majesty, I would like
to add an equal expression of
sympathy for the royal family,
and in particular for the Queen
who won so completely the re-
spect and affection of Her
MajeSty's subjects"
Cheers greeted this statement,
and Lord Halifax then replied he
certainly would convey what is
being said by Lords Smell and
Crewe to the prime minister"
Then the house arose.

LONDON, Dec. Z G.N.S0.
Faced with possible ruin or long
unemployment if King Edward alb
dicates because of his intention of
marrying Mrs. Wallis Simpson,
thousands of small English manu-
facturers and hundreds of thou
sands of their workers prayed the
monarch to remain on the throne
and carry out the coronation next
May as scheduled.
Abdication of Edward and acces-
sion of the Duke of York to the
throne would result, it was said, IL
the worst flood of bankruptcies
and the greatest increase in unem-
ployment in recent British history.
Manufacturers have sunk all
they possessed and have even car
ried large bank overdrafts, it was
explained, during past months in
their anxiety to make fortunes by
turning out mugs, medals, toys,
