Women Voters
League Presses
Hospital Bill
Mrs. MINER HOstetler Cites
Statewide Survey. Urges
Funds For Institution

Explaining that the fight to allo-
cate funds for the proposed Chronic
Hospitals plan is still being waged
by the League of Women Voters,
Mrs. MINER Hostetler, president of
Montgomery county league, today
announced that after unsuccessful
attempt to retain funds a new
campaign is under way.
"There may be funds available
under Defense to provide for hos
pitfalls and it seems a pity for
Maryland not to have legislation
which would permit using them.
The League of Women Voters
recommends reading Of the Reports
on Almshouses and support of the
recommendations of the Governors
Commission, eliminating in the
bill to provide two State hospitals
for the chemically iii.
"In the summary on the Is aims
houses in Maryland, it is revealed
that two-thirds Of the inmates need
institutional care. They are bed
ridden or cannot get around or get
along with people. They do not
need food and shelter; they need
care because they are sick, and
need regular medical and nursing
care" In most cases they are
waited on by the superintendent,
matrons, and laborers hired to run
farms. One superintendent report
ed that he had six in bed at one
time and did all the nursing. In
some Of the homes there are no hot
water bottles or other hospital sup
plies. There were not half. enough
sheets in one home, nor enough
warm bed clothing. Another home
provides one towel to two persons
per week. Separate toilet facili-
ties are not provided for men and
women and colored and white in
another. Two colored men occupy
a small room built in corner of
the dining room for white inmates
in one home. In several homes
there are no living rooms nor are
there dining rooms in all instances.
Water must he carried for bathing
in some cases. In another, the in
mates must go out to a separate
building for meals, carrying their
plates and cups, returning to their
rooms to eat.
Serious fire hazards are report
ed and the comment is made that
Considerable investment must be
made to put the buildings IN good
condition. All but one are free
from vermin.
"The League of Women Voters
does not like to play up to the emo
tional appeal states Mrs. Hostel
Ter, but it has been pointed out to
US that our old people are compel
ing with pitiful appeals from all
over the world"

Britain Bundles
Lauded By Head
OF National Unit
Mrs. Wales Latham Praises
Montgomery Branch, Asks
For Blankets And Clothing

The work of the Montgomery
county branch of Bundles for
Britain, Inc, was lauded by Mrs.
Wales Latham of New York, ma
tional president of the organiza-
ton, at a meeting of the executive
board of the county branch Mon
day afternoon at the home of the
county president, Mrs. E. Brooke
Lee of Silver Spring.
Discussing the activities of the
national group, Mrs. Latham said
that the organization last month
adopted" 10 hospitals in London
which have been bombed. In addi-
ton to sending them surgical sup

group has sent $4,000 to England
in the past few weeks to be used in
the hospital rehabilitation.

ments of clothing and equipment
sent to England are insured by
Lloyd's and only two of the 81
shipments which have been made
have been lost. Bundles for Britain
was reimbursed for these within a
few weeks, she reported.
Mrs. Latham made special plea
for blankets of all kinds and for
warm clothing. The blankets are
used to wrap victims of bombings

taken to hospitals and are also
necessary in air raid shelters, the
speaker said.

been made chairman of the COM
nlittee in charge of assisting in Sc
curing accommodations for persons
coming from out-of-town to attend
the Virginia garden tours March

ginia will give all proceeds to
Bundles for Britain and the county
group will aid the District OF
Columbia branch in arranging for
visitors coming to Washington.

are working for Bundles for Britain
through the Montgomery county
group and have sent boxes of
clothing to headquarters in Silver
Spring.

ty organization has shipped 60
cartons of clothing and eight bar
rels of shoes to New York fol-

type of criticism calculated to
tear down our program can
rightly be denied.
.. If to advocate control of indi-
vidual rights in an emergency
stamps one as undemocratic
then 1 hope there are many like
myself who believe that we can
not save democracy unless we
save America. America is our
gift from the Almighty -
democracy is our pattern of life.

Seen Strike Complete

| SScu SbEAAC SVAhPASSO
 The strike at the T. F. Butter field firm was a complete one to- day with nobody working in the | factory, John Marchiando, organiz- CT for the United Rubber Workers, said today. Yesterday afternoon the members of local 190, U. R. w. of A.. took strike, vote at St. Georges hall and approved the strike. Today a petition has been sent to the international organiza- ton asking that the strike be sanc- toned.
 MT. Marchiando said today that the contract which the union had with the management was not re- newed and ended on August 23. The matter was then discussed in Hart ford and the state mediation board was asked to investigate wages, Marchiando explained. While this investigation was underway, norI- union employees in the plant heckled the union members and taunted them to walk cut, Marchiado said, ad finally the union members of the pressing department did walk out.
 Last Saturday a strike vote had been scheduled but it was delayed by MT. Marchiando who said he hoped negotiations would prove suc- ceSsful. However the strike vote was taken yesterday and today the strike was a complete one, accord ing to Marchiando. The requests of the strikers will ~also include those clauses not settled in contract negotiations and there can be no settlement of the strike until 8 con- tract is signed, he added.
 He said MT. Butterfield, president of the concern, had refused 6 re- quest for a union shop some time ago.
 MT. Butterfield last night said that he understood there was to have been no disturbance of the status quo in the plant while nego- tiations were being conducted by the state mediation board. He as- serted the contract was cancelled August g because its terms were not acceptable to the company and the union. He could not be reached for a statement today.
 Police Active
 There were still police officers at the plant today. One said picketS had attempted to prevent trucks from going into the plant grounds this morning but were diSsuaded in this attempt by the officers. No disorder of any consequence oc- cured however. Marchiando said that even three non-union members of the plant were not working to- day.
 The officers had previously stayed near the factory entrance to the lant but today they were at the street entrance to the grounds of the plant.
 MT. Butterfield could not be reached for a statement this morn ing.
