Maryland Takes Step
To Meet Increased
Health Problems
u. S. Workers to Help
In Seven Counties
And Baltimore
BY the Associated Press.

by LI6 ASSOCldl6O EItSS-
BALTIMORE, April pa corps
of Government-trained workers will
supplement State personnel in seven
MARYLAND counties and Baltimore
City in coping with increased health
problems brought about by military
and industrial expansion.
Following an offer of Federal aid,
DR.. C. H. Halliday. assistant director
of the Maryland Health Depart
ment, asked the United States Pub
lie Health Service yesterday for 81
workers, graduates of an orientation
school recently opened in Wash
ington.
He said the request was not made
because of any urgent need for help
in the State, but to guard against
potential hazards.
Will Provide Closer Check.
"I don't think there is any health
hazard in Maryland DR.. Halliday
added. However, we can always
use personnel, and the Federal work
ers will make possible closer check
on potential hazards" :"
To fill the needs of the State in
Baltimore City and the counties OF
Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Charles,
Hartford, Howard, Montgomery and
Prince Georges, the Government
was asked to supply physicians, IA
public health nurses, bacteriolo-
gists, 8 sanitarians, sanitary engi-
neers, I chemist, industrial hygiene
engineer, 2 statistical clerks and 8
general clerks.
Since personnel needs were based
on the extent of defense work, it
is quite possible, DR.. Halliday said,
that two other counties, Washing
ton and Allegany, may later be
added to the list of those regarded
as strategic defense areas.
Needs of Three Counties.
Needs of counties in the Washing
ton area were listed as follows:
Prince Georges-One health off,
Ger, two public health nurses, two
sanitarians, one sanitary engineer,
one statistical clerk and two general
clerks.
Neutrality-suspicious. health officer,
one public health nurse and a sani-
tary engineer.
Anne Arundel-One health officer,
one epidemologist, two public health
nurses, one bacteriologist, one sani-

Many new U-boats took part in
the battle. the high command de-
clared. and many Of them were
manned by young commander

e. -perience under fire. But not Q

claimed.
