The eastbound route of the new

Voluntary Isolation
In Communicable
Diseases Urged
Dr.. Seekineer Tells \
Nurses Of Need for
Educational Campaign

The 38th annual meeting Of the
Graduate Nurses Association and
the League of Nursing Education
of the District was to close this
afternoon in the Willard Hotel with
the third and final session on COM
municable diseases, a subject which
drew the attention of nurses at yes
terday's opening meeting.
Members learned yesterday from
DR.. Daniel Seckinger, assistant
health officer for the District, that
tuberculosis ranked first among
communicable diseases in the city
last year, SIT fatalities being record
ed. Pneumonia was second with
488 deaths. according to the health
officer.
DR.. Seckinger asserted that physi-
clans and nurses have failed to
educate the public adequately" of
the importance OF voluntary isola-
tion when person has reason to
suspect he is coming down with q
communicable disease. He added:
If we preached and practiced
voluntary isolation as faithfully as
we abide by traffic regulations, not
only would communicable diseases
decline rapidly, but also we would
prevent the development of pain
full and debilitating complications,
which, in many instances. are more
dangerous than initial infections"
Urges Educational Campaign.
He urged that nurses assist in
an educational program outlining
simple precautions during cold
weather and stressing personal
hygiene. Asserting that communi-
cable diseases take on tremendous
importance to every man, woman
and child" during wartime, the
health officer declared that I'VE
must face and attack them under
modern conditions of warfare"
DR.. Seckinger admitted that, while
health authorities are accustomed
to calling typhoid fever vanishing
disease" typhoid will remain so
only so long as we are able to
guarantee the delivery of safe and
sanitary supplies of food. water and
milk to the householder" He point
ed out that the modern high
explosive bomb rapidly changes
well sanitated communities into
disease laden cesspools of wreck
age and debris"
He hastened to add, however, that
typhoid is not major threat here
and that I'VE don't forsee the time
when we can't provide for it here"
Emergency Service Planned.
Agencies of the Government con-
cerned with water filtration, distri-
button and protection are now pre-
pared to render emergency service
adequately to cope with any situa-
ton that may arise, Dr. Seckinger
said. He added that it may become
necessary in stricken areas to
routine immunization
of the population against typhoid
fever as a precautionary measure,
depending upon the gravity of the
situation"
In response to a question, the
health official said the Health De-
partment did not feel # necessary
at this time to recommend routine
typhoid incubation of school chill
dren.

REPORT TO THE NATION-
Ninth nstoI!ment Of MucLeish Statement

1t Is not enough to produce the
materials Of war. They must be
moved, and moved swiftly, by
rail, by truck, by boat to their
destination. A successful trans
portation system depends chiefly
on three factors: first, fixed plant
equipment, which means motor
roads, railroad tracks, navigable
waterways and such things as
terminals, docks and repair
shops; second, carrier equipment
in the form of freight cars,
trucks, buses, barges, pipe lines;
third, the use to which these
facilities are put.
With 246, 900 miles of track-30
per cent of the worlds railroad
mileage, 300, 900 miles of sur
faced roads, $4,000 miles of nav
igable inland waterways and
10000 miles of pipe line, the
United States has enough fixed
plant to meet the severest tests.
We are now not only adding
to equipment, but we are making
better use of the facilities we
have. Railroads, which carry 81
per cent of our total freight load,
last year handled $4,000, 100000
ton-miles more than in the peak
year of 1929. To do this, the
loading, unloading and terminal
handling of freight cars had to
be speeded up; roundabout rout-
ings had to be curtailed. The
average load carried by freight
car was raised nine -tenths of a
ton-a saving in space equal 20
$4,000 freight cars. Ice-breaking
machines opened the Great
Lakes shipping season earlier
than usual in 194l. This made
possible an all-time record move
ment of iron ore by Lake boats.
More Equipment Added.
Since September, 1899, the
railroads have added 10000
new freight cars and $4,000 more
are on order. They have 1000
new locomotives and another 900
are on order. Trucks have in
creased from 4,600, 900 to 5000, 900
in the past year; $500 miles of
new pipe line have been added.
Freight traffic, however, has
increased to the point where it
is now in close balance with the
carrier capacity of the country.
To care for the added freight that
war will bring-an increase esti-
mated at more than 10 per cent
in 1942-new equipment will be
needed and more ingenuity ex-
ercised in using the equipment
