Hearing on ROW:
CAMP SHAKE-UP.
TO Be AIRED BY.
T.B. ASSOCIATION
Dismissed Members of
Staff Protest

A sensational row which re-
suited in the dismissal and resig-
nation of IA staff members at the
Bald Eagle Health Camp last
month will be aired at the next
meeting of the Board of Directors
Of the District tuberculosis Asso-
citation, it was revealed today.
The row at the camp eliminated
August 26-four days before the
camp was scheduled to close
when eight councillors and nurses
who had protested against admin
istration Of the camp were dis
missed.
NEWS WITHHELD
News of the drastic shake-up
was withheld until today when
the dismissed staff members pro
tested they had been unable to
lay their cases before the associa-
tons board Of directors.
Willard Smith, acting president
of the association, said the entire
situation would be laid before the
directors at their next regular
meeting next month. He pointed
out that the president and execu-
tive officers of the organization
had offered a hearing to the pro-
testants but had been turned
down.
COUNCILLOR DROPPED
The schism centered around the
dismissal on August Is of Miss
Florence Ludy, one of the camp
councillors, after the mother Of
one of the patients at the camp
complained her child had been
miStreated.
Other camp councillors at
tempted to intervene and sent a
delegation with Miss Elizabeth Gill
more as spokesman. to Mrs. Ernest
R. Grant, managing director OF
the association, to plead for the
reinstatement of Miss Ludy.
Within an hour after the delega-
ton met Mrs. Grant, Miss Gilmore
submitted her resignation.
RESERVATIONS ASKED
On August 26, according to the
protestants, Mrs. Grant called
them together and told them the
board of directors had considered
the petition and instructed her
to take whatever disciplinary
action she deemed necessary. Mrs.
Grant then called for the resigna-
tionS Of all who had protested.
The following day the staff
members, all young college gradu-
ateS who had been dismissed, re-
tanned Attorney George L. Quinn,
jr., to request the associations
board Of directors for a hearing.
DR.. James c. Townsend, preSi-
dent of the association, replied to
Quinn that a hearing would be
granted August 81. but suggested
that only a committee of two or
three attend.
STAND FIRM
Quinn refused to sanction q
hearing under the procedure out
lined by DR.. Townsend and re
newed his request for a full hear
ing before the entire board.
Meanwhile, two councillors, who
had been hired to replace Miss
Ludy and Miss Gilmore, submitted
their designations.
Mrs. Grant, however, mobilized
q staff and the closing of the camp
was handled so smoothly that no
outward indication Of the internal
feud was evident.
Questioned about the dis
charges today, Mrs. Grant said:
"The only comment I have
to make is that those employees
were dismissed for cause"

$l68, ,445, 1000 EARMARKED FOR
WAR ON NATIONS SLJJMS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. 4 -
Funds totaling $168, ,445,OO have
been set aside by the United States
Housing Authority for so of the ma
tion's cities to begin clearance of
their sluns and blighted areas and
to start construction of new homes
for families in the lowest income
groups, official figures revealed
today.
The money Vii! be loaned to To-
cal communities from the $500, ,OOO,-
900 fund authorized by the Wagner
Steagall Housing Act of 1887 and
obtained through the sale of United
States Housing Authority bonds by
the Treasury Department.
The loans return per cent in
terest and are repayable over a six
ty-year period. The only actual bur
den on the taxpayers in this great
drive to wipe out the nations slums
is small annual contributions made
by Federal and local governments
to achieve and maintain rentals in
the new homes low enough for slum
dwellers with small incomes.
Eagerness of cities to participate
in the governments Intolerance
program is evidenced by the fact
Nogales international., 1938-03-05

that when Nathan Straus became
Administrator of the United States
Housing Authority last November,
only 48 cities in 13 states had prop
erly constituted local housing au-
thorities. At the present time local
housing authorities have been es-
tablished in 104 communities in %
states.
When the Wagner-Steagall Hous-
ing Bill was before the Congress
last summer, it was generally be-
lieved that the large cities would
be the principal beneficiaries. Con-
gested metropolitan slums have been
famous for a generation, but there
were few small cities and towns
which had begun seriously to look
into their housing problem.
Now the picture is quite different
A large and rapidly growing num-
Der of smaller cities have already
established active housing authori-
ties in most cases, these authorities
have the enthusiastic support of
the city government, and local or
ganization and citizens groups,
from bankers and business men to
labor unions and welfare workers.
