Rooming house operators in the
District, who have been caught be-
tween conflicting heating regula-
tions of the Commissioners and the
once OF Price Administration. soon
win be able to get back within the
law-both laws.
Under q District order issued last
May, all rooming house proprietors
are compelled to keep their rooms at
not less than 70 degrees between Z
am. and 10 pm. whenever the room
Is occupied by tenant.
Recently the OPA decreed that IS
degrees was warm enough for any
one except children, the aged and
the infirm. Fuel oil rattoning, they
said, would be based on maintaining
that temperature, and folks who
liked 1t warmer than that just
wouldn't get enough oil to see them
through the season.

Mason Acts to Aid Landlords
In Conflict of Heating Rules

That left rooming house operators
who heat with oil right in the mid

sioners and kept their houses up to
70 degrees, OPA would frown and
refuse to issue all the oil needed. If
they cut down to IS degrees, the
District law said they could be fined
as much as $500.
Commissioner Guy Mason said
yesterday that he would direct the
corporation counsel tomorrow to
frame q new regulation, streamlined
to 1T the war emergency. Mr.. Ma

be done simply by adding q few

Nurse Training to Be Speeded
To Meet Needs of Wartime
Most Drastic Changes in Curriculum
Since World War Expected This Week

Nurses Examining Board was set
up in 1929. He said that since that
time when there was plethora OF
candidates for nurses training
schools" hospital after hospital has
closed its classes because the re-
quirements placed upon it by the
board were so unreasonable that 1t
could not meet them.
He charged also that these re-
quirements went far beyond specifl-
cations concerning the curriculum,
spreading to such details as the kind
of tablecloth and the candlepower
of lamps supplied in nurses quar-
tiers.
May Revive Army School.
Hospitals that still operate train
ing schools, most Of them with in
creased programs, are Providence,
st. Elizabeth's. Georgetown, Sibley,
Garfield. Freedmeil's and Gallinger.
In the group that either never have
offered nurses training or have dis
continued their courses are Doctors,
Columbia, Emergency, Episcopal,
George Washington and Children's.
Some of these schools, it is point
ed out, were closed during the de-
preston. There has been some agi-
tation in recent months for re-
sumption of the Army School OF
Nursing, opened during the last
war, but the War Department so
far has not taken to the idea, pre-
ferring to draw its nursing person.
mel from civilian hospitals. The
principal reason offered for this is
the small number of women who
remained in Army service cen after
they had been trained at Army ex-
pense in 1917.
Need of Speed Recognized.
Medical interests generally agree
that in the present emergency
nurses training should be acceler-
ated and that all courses of study
which are not vitality necessary
should be eliminated from the cur
riculum. This appears also to be the
consensus of the schools themselves
and of the Nurses Examining Board
but foremost in their minds are the
undesirables who got into the pro-
fession when the bars were dropped
during the last war, and for thai
reason they move with caution.
Discussing the problem of ex.
pansion, DR.. George c. Rutland
District health officer, suggested
that the instructive personne
problem might be met by concen'
trating on a few institutions. Thi
would call for instructors to teach
larger classes, but would result, HI
explained, in a better qualified
staff.
DR.. Rutland also proposed tina
the transportation problem b.
solved by using high schools a
centers, provided they are clos
enough to hospitals for students tt
get bedside training at the SAM
time they are given classroom in
struction. He suggested furthe
that high schools might offer Ger
tain courses which would speed girl
along the route to clinical training

0'Conor Charges COP
Distributed Marked
Judiciary Ballots
Speaks at HyottsviIIe;
TAFT Rebuts Governor
In 81 Tug Dispute
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gov. Herbert O'Conor, Democra-
tic incumbent, told rallies in Prince
Georges and Anne Arundel Counties
last night that the Republican party
of Maryland has broken faith with
the people" by letting party interest
take precedent" over the good OF
the people.
Speaking in the Hyattsville Arm
DRY and later at Annapolis, the Gov
ernor said:
I'm the matter OF keeping politics
out Of the judiciary, they have
shown conclusively, by the marked
ballots which have been distributed
in Baltimore City and in the coun-
ties, that they are not willing to
let the good of all the people take
precedence over the partisan inter-
est of their group.
They have proved that they are
perfectly willing to sacrifice judges
of unquestioned ability and judicial
temperament, in order to put on
the bench men whose chief claim
to recognition is that they are Re-
publicans."
He added that breaking faith
with the people Of Maryland is
nothing new, and claimed that the
Republicans did it in the matter Of
the promised 50 tags; they did it
when they permitted politics to
permeate the magistrate system of
the State /" ="
Meantime, Galen L. TAFT, chair
man of the Republican State Gen.
trail Committee, countered the Gov
ernor's assertion about the tag fee.
Gov. O'Conor tried to hide his
State income tax gouge behind talk
about 50 automobile tags" Mr.. TAFT
charged. "Be it remembered that
it was Democratic legislature
which defeated the proposed 81
tags"
James M. Hoffa, member Of the
State Employees Standard Salary
Board, said in a statement that re-
pudiation by the Maryland Classified
Employees Association of disclosures
recently made as to the starvation
wages" paid State employees was
compelled through fear of Gov
O'Conor and his political machine
This fear is so great that these
officers have felt forced. notwith-
standing the fact that they have
merit system protection, to sign and
publish statement which they
know is in the main absolutely
false" he said.

FWA Approves Shift
In Plans 10 ENLARGE
Alexandria HOSPITAL
Institution to Acquire
St. Mory's Academy for
Use as Nurses Home

Revised plans for an addition to
the Alexandria Hospital including
purchase by the hospital of the
building and grounds of st. Mary's
Academy for use as nurses home,
have been approved by the Federal
Works Agency, according to Robert
G. Whitton, superintendent of the
hospital.
The change in plans from the
original project was necessitated by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commissions objection to a
five-story addition on the Washing
ton street building line, as originally
proposed
Under the revised scheme, the
addition will be obtained by building
a three-story wing on the east end
similar to the one now on the west
and multiple-story addition run
ming back from the center line on
part of the academy property.
Will Rae Present Home.
The original plan to tear down
the present nurses home on the
Washington street side of the hos
pital will be followed to permit
construction of the east wing, but
instead of constructing a new build
ing for the nurses home, the acad-
envy building ON the southeast cor
ner of Prince and Columbus streets
will be renovated for the purpose.
Mr.. Whitton said the academy
building will not be taken over un-
til July, 1943, after the close of the
school year, but the nurses home
will still be ready when planned
because renovation will take less
time than building new structure
Alteration of the building budget
to include the purchase price OF the
st. Mary's property will be neces-
sary, but the project will still be
accomplished within the $712,0OC
FWA grant and loan as originally
announced.
Mr.. Whitton said the FWA hao
approved the selection of Davis
Wick, Rosengarten & Co. OF Wash.

ton.
