Nurses To Get Course For Defense

WASHINGTON, June - As a step towards increasin c the na- tion's supply of reg stered nurses the American Red Cross this sum mer will sponsor training school for nurses. Miss Mary Beard, Director, Red Cross Nurs ing Service, announced here. The school, the first during the pres ent emergency, will be operated in collaboration with Bryn Mawr College and the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania.
 The hundred college graduates will be trained as nurses in a shorter time then the usua 36 months. The school will be held at Byrn Mawr College from June 23 to September 13. A tuition fee of Sl00 per student will be charg ed. Applications for enrolment in the school should be addressed to-: The Red Cross Nurses Train ing Camp, Gyrn MaWr College, Pa.
 Miss Beard said the project is patterned after the highly sue cessful Nurses Training Camp sponsored by the Red Cross and Vassar College in 1918. She pointed out that there is a dearth of trained nurses as a re- suit of the constantly expanding national defense program. This step is one of many which must been taken.

Mayo Surgeon
 First us. Doctor Off To Britain

WASHINGTON, pr. Howard R. Ives, Jr., 30-year-old, soft spoken Down East" surgeon, is the first physician to answer the British Red Cross appeal for 1000 young American doctors.
 Stopping off at Washington to get final instructions from the American Red Cross before de- parting( he displayed a friendly, but firm aversion to publicity when interview by the press.
 Asked whether his British as- s'gnment was just part of an al ready adventurous career, Dr. Ives replied, This is the only dramatic incident that has ever happened to me"
 Dr. Ives goes to Britain from the Mayor Foundation at Roch- ester, Minn., where he is in the second year of three-year fel- loWship in surgery. He will com plete the fellowship upon his re- turn to this country a year hence.
 Meeting with Chairman Nor man H. Davis and David K. E. Bruce, acting vice chairman in charge of foreign operations, Dr. Ives told how he wrote the Red Cross the day he saw newspaper accounts of the British shortage of doctors.
 Upon his arrival in Britain he will be given choice of serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps or the civilian Emergency Medi- cal Service. Service with the RAMC would entail being assign ed duty at any point in the Brit ish Empire where doctors are needed.
 Unmarried, Dr. Ives is a native of Portland, Me, where his. mo- ther lives. He received his de- gree at Yale Medical School in 1887, after graduating from Will ll2ms College. Before going to the Mayo Foundation, he served On the staffs of Rhode Isand Hos pital at Providence; the Twillin- gate (New Foundland) Hospital, and the New Haven Conn Hos pital.

Policing For National Defense Under FBI On Coast to Coast Basis
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON, June = First assignment of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation under the national defense program was the investigation of every complaint of ifth-column activity and the business of searching out pos sible sabotage needles in 12.000 national defense plant haystacks.
 No normal-hime police organi- zation could have been handed such an order with any eXpecta- .ion of its being filled. But FBI Director John Edgar Hoover eX- poets to fill it because of the "FBI Law Enforcement Officers Mobil- ization Plan for National De- fense."
 In the quarterly conferences that 54 F'BI agents-in-charge hold with thousands of police officials everything that the FBI knows about national defense protection $ handed on to police of the cit ies and the grass roots.

News From London

This isn't secondhand know ledge either. Recently two FBI agents returned from several months of intensive study of po- Ice methods in London. One in valuable thing they brought back was a movie entitled War and Order" which shows police at work.
 Everything that British police know about sabotage, espionage and fifth column activity has been made available. Out of that has come the program of sec tional conferences in which near ly 4,300 police agencies are school ed in defense police work. There s nc better way to describe it than to give a sample FBI guar terly conference program.
 There are: Instructions on counter espionage" Handling sabotage violations;;" How to handle bombs and explosives ;;'' Citizens cooperation in nation al defense police york;" British methods as demonstrated by lam tern slides and the movie War and Order"
 Methods of sabotage agents are explained in detail. Vulnerable points, hazards, personnel physi- cal properties confidential docu- ments (war secrets), fire proven tion, guard force, and identifca- ton system of defense industrial plants are given a thorough comb ing.
 To pick out one example, an FBI technical laboratory expert displays an innocent appearing pencil. It has lead that will write, an eraser that will erase. While he is writing with it to demon strate its apparent harmlessness, the expert explains that inside the pencil is a capsule of incen- diary powder flanked by tinier capsule of acid. When this acid eats through to the powder - combustion, and perhaps a de- fense plant fire. The FBI man ex- plains how this little gadget can

Govt. Freezes Axis Assets
Governors Office, Juneau, Alaska
 June l4

In view of the unlimited na- t5onal emergency declared by the President, he has today issued an executive order freezing immed iately all German and Italian as sets in the United States. At the same time the order also freez- es the assets of all invaded or occupied European countries not previously frozen. These include Albania, Austria, CZechoslovakia Danzig and Poland. The freezing control will be administered by the Treasury Department.
 These measures in effect bring all financial transactions in which German and Italian interests are involved under the control of the Government, and impose heavy criminal penalties upon persons failing to comply herewith. The executive order is designed, ann ong other things, to prevent the use of the financial facilities of the United States in ways harm ful to national defense and other American interests, to prevent the liquidation in the United Stat es of assests footed by duress or conquest, and to curb subversive activities in the United States.
 With a view to implementing the control of German and Ital- ian assets in this country and in view of the interreltionship of in ternational financial transactions the executive order has also been extended to the remaining coun- tries of continental Europe. How ever, it is intended that through the medium of general licenses the freezing control will be lift ed with respect to Finland, Por-l tugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzer- land and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, conditional upon the receipt of adequate as- surances from the governments of such countries that the general licenses will not be employed by them or their nationals to evade the purposes of this order. Fur thermore, transactions under the general licenses will be subject to reporting and careful scrut- iny.
 Simultaneously, with the issu-. ance of the executive order, the President approved regulations ordering census of all foreign owned property in the United States. This census will relate mot only to property in the Unit ed States belonging to countries and nationals subject to freezing control but to all other countries as well.
 Under previous executive or ders freezing control has been ex tended to the assets of Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Bel gium, Luxembourg, France, Lat via, Estonia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Greece.

WORK FOR STATE
But in Britain, lockers nov
work for the state; and labor in
the shipbuilding industry calls the
admiralty boss"
Workers around Coventry are
moving into barracks because their
homes were bombed out. Yes, Ia
Dor in Britain is in the army
now"
But you hear no grumbfing-
except when labor complains that
management is fumbling, not get
ting on with the job"
Labor has had a promise from
Mr.. Churchill:
1.-THE trade union movement
has willingly given in this war
the temporary suspension of
privileges which have taken
generations to win.
"They have ben handed over
70 the custody and keeping of
the state, and without that We
should mot be able to produce
under The severe conditions OF
the enemy's fire
MATTER OF HONOR
"But II Is a matter OF honor TO
the whole country that these
privileges shall be restored when
this crisis has passed away :"
The working people Of Britain
didn't need that promise to make
them work "all out"
Nor did they need his promise
to make them feel that their in
terests would be looked after
Ernie" will take care of that.
To understand labor's role in
Britain's war effort, let's compare
it with things we know about in
America:
Unlike labor in America, British
labor cannot call a strike in any
industry that feeds the war effort,
and all industry does feed the war
effort. But also unlike labor in
America, British labor would not
want to strike.
CAN'T CANCEL CONTRACT
In Britain. no representative of
labor in the war cabinet has
enough power TO cancel a contract
that the ministry of supply made
with some large manufacturer.
with some British equivalent of
Henry Ford. merely because the
manufacturer had refused TO sign
a contract with a labor union.
But neither could any British
Henry Ford have
been able TO hold out against
until now.
And 10 understand labor's role
in the Churchill movement. you
must know labor's two strongest
men: Ernest Bevin, Sc, and Her
bert Morrison, 50.
Ernest Bevin is Britain's John
L. Lewis.
Herbert Morrison is Britain's
Mayor LaGuardia.
Bevin was born 10 working peo-
pie: orphaned at s. he worked on
a farm. Then came jobs as a

SON OF CHAMBERMAID

Herbert Morrison, Cockney, born
in London's Lambeth, son of cop
and a chambermaid, is a carbon
copy Of LaGuardia.
Bevin and his wife can and do
dine almost every night in Simp-
sons. and nobody recognizes them,
nobody halls them. AS aloof as
Lewis, Bevin is respected but dis
liked.
AS friendly as LaGuardia. Nor
rison is "'Erbert" TO the whole of
London. respected. worshiped and
hailed in the streets by newsies
and cabbies and cops.
When the Labor Party gained
control of the London County
Council that runs that city, Morri-
son became the head man in
London.
He did for London what Bob
Moses and Mayor LaGuardia have
done for New York:
He widened streets, green
belted" the city with parks. jazzed
up the fire department, built new
schools, expanded and modernized
hospitals.
FRONT LINE TRENCH
And now that London is a front
line trench. fire engines race
gratefully up Morrisons widened
streets.
Anti-aircraft guns are grateful
for that green belt" of parks
that house anti-aircraft batteries
and barrage balloons.
The new schools are evacuation
and air raid control centers; the
expanded hospitals are filled with
the victims of air raids.
And in hundreds of London
homes. people are grateful for the
new indoor Morrison under-the-
table shelters-proved protection
against anything but a direct hit.
