Alma c. Haupt, executive secre-
tarv Of q defense health subcom-
mittee on nursing, said in a state
ment to House committee study
ing methods for maintaining the
Nations civilian health that all
forms of luxury nursing" might
have to be curtailed soon for the
duration Of the war.
Instead of using private duty
service as In the past" she said,
"it will be necessary to share nursing
service and to develop what is known
as group nursing"
In the last war, 24,354 nurses
were in service with the Army and
Navy. Present service requirements
have become a military secret since
this country's entry into the war.
Miss Haupt said that, in the event
Of an incident" it may be neces-
sary ito pool all local nursing re-
sources under one central service
and to have flexible interchange of
nurses in hospital, private duty and
public health service"

rolled first reserve of 25, 700 nurses

Delegates al Rio Hold
Informal Talks on
Anfi-Axis Front
Major Resolution for
Unanimous Action
Comes Up Monday
- ths Axsocia ated Press,


RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Jan. II.
delegates to the third consultative
conference of Foreign Ministers of
the Il American republics today met
Informally in their hotel room in dis
cusSiors which probably will decide
how far the rest of tie Americas will
60 to help the United States whip
the Axis powers.
The day was officially listed on the
calendar of the conference as $50
cial" but most of the leading dele
gates took advantage of the lull in
business to exchange opinions and
seek support for their points Of view.
Eight resolutions submitted at the
FIRST business session yesterday in
cluded one which might make or
break the conference-a proposal for
unanimous rupture Of relations with
the Axis.
1t was introduced by Gabriel Tur-
bay. Colombian Ambassador to
Washington, in behalf of Colombia.
Mexico and Venezuela. Those three
governments already have broken
relations with the Axis.
Pledge Of Unanimous Action.
The resolution, which will be pub
iished in full Monday, was under
stood to condemn the Axis attack on
the United States as an attack on
all the Americas and to pledge the
western republics not to re-eStabliSh
relations with the Axis except by
unanimous action.
It's fate apparently depended
chiefly on Argentina, and it was
learned that supporters of the reso-
luton had failed to get an outright
pledge from the Argentine delega-
ton to back it.
However, the conference was
cheered considerably by a letter
from Acting President Ramon Cas-
tillo of Argentina expressing his
country's sincere desire to collabo-
rate fully.
There were recurrent reports that
Chile, with her long Pacific coast
line exposed to attack, might join
Argentina in opposing severance Of
relations
The situation will be brought into
the open Monday when debate on
the resolution begins.
II Argentina is not brought
around, it was learned, there prob
ably will be a proposal to proceed
without her.
There were two bright spots at
the conference.
Dispute Near Solution.
Oswaldo Aranha, Brazilian For
eign Minister and chairman OF the
meeting, announced that the 100
year -old boundary dispute between
Peru and Ecuador was never so
close to a solution as now"
The second factor contributing to
conference harmony was the agree
ment by the Central American and
Caribbean nations to forgoe their
demand for a unanimous Pan
American declaration Of war against
the Axis.
Slated for early consideration was
Cuba's pEQpQsal to unity hemisphere

Undersecretary Patterson said in
commenting on the contracts that
the War Department could never
have arranged for these tremendous
orders for items requiring such skill
and a high precision in industry
had it not been for the cooperation
OF the Office of Production Manage
ment and the fact that during the
past 20 years the War Department.
in consultation with the automotive
industry, has been preparing for this
emergency.
The department has kept itself
informed of the available facilities
in the automobile industry and else
where for the production of these
items and has made manapement

volved in their manufacture. Edu-
cational orders have been an i'm
