ANKARA. Turkey, July 8.-Pre-
mier Refik Saydam died early today
| following heart attack He was
81 years old and had been Premier
since January, 1899.
A semi official announcement said
DR., Ahmet Fikri Tuzer, Minister of
Interior. would serve as Acting Pre-
mier until new appointment could
be made.
Refik Saydam had been Premier
of Turkey from before the outbreak
of war and his policies kept Turkish
soil inviolate while most of her close
neighbors were drawn into the con-
flict.
Shortly after assuming Office in
January, 1899, Premier Saydam
stated his governments policy as
maintaining friendly relations with
all powers, great and small"
Signed Mutual Aid Pact.
"No act capable of putting in peril
the life or well-being of the Turkish
nation will come first from your
government unless our good will. our
sincere and friendly neutrality
toward all states should be directly
or indirectly the object of an at
tempt at violation" he told the
Turkish people.
At the same time he declared that
Turkeys armv was capable of ward
ing off any danger of aggression.
He was one of the signers of the
Turkish mutual assistance pact with
France and Britain in October, 1899.
But Turkey. although regarding
herself as mon -belligerent ally"
of Britain and France, did not enter
the war when Italy declared war

on the Allies. The Premier ex-
planned that Turkeys entrance in
the war at that time would have
been regarded as hostile act by
Russia, then bound by her nom
aggression treaty with Germany.
A former medical attendant to
the late Kemal Ataturk. first Presi-
dent of Turkey, Saydam later be-
came minister of health.
Entertained at White House.
It was in that capacity that he
visited the United States in 1929.
Under the auspices of the Rookie
feller Foundation, he spent two
months studying health and social
service institutions. During that
visit he was entertained at the
White House by Herbert Hoover,
then President.
Under Premier Saydam's guild
ance Turkey established modern
organization of public health and
welfare services.
During the difficult diplomatic
struggle in Ankara preceding and
following Germany's move into the
Balkans, the Premier was under
constant strain. The Germans at
tached so much Importance to Tur-
keys attitude that Franz Won Papen,
their ace trouble shooter" was
sent there as Ambassador.

Resignation Held
| No Bar to Hatch
lAct Prosecution

Resignation is no bar to the prose-
cution of Government employees
charged with improper political ac-
tivities under the Hatch Act. ac-
cording to a decision of the United
States District Court of the South
ern District of New York, the Civil
Service Commission announced to-
day.
On January 7, Judge John c.
Knox dismissed the petition of
Irving D. Neustein, who claimed that
since he had resigned his position
as a member of the Board of Ap-
peals of the Unemployment 1nsur-
ance Department of the State of
New York, the Civil Service Com
mission could no longer continue
its prosecution for alleged violations
of the Hatch Act The commission
has just received the decision of
Judge Knox.
From May IT, 1888, to October 81,
1941, Mr.. Neustein was employed
by the New York State Unemploy-
ment Insurance Department. He
was therefore subject to the pro-
visions of the Hatch Act, which

To Avert Sabotage
And Avoid Confusion

asked to cease the practice of hav-
ing packages from stores delivered
to their ofiices
A circular letter from the Federal
Works Agency. which supervises
Government buildings, to the chief
clerks Of all departments and agen-
cies requested that the matter be
brought to the attention OF all

1t was pointed out that many
Government workers, who are away
from home during the hours when
stores usually make deliveries, made
a habit of having such packages de-
livered to their Offices
The letter indicated the possibility
that saboteurs might take advantage
Of the arrangement by which such
packages are admitted to public
buildings. In some agencies, such
as the War and Navy Departments,
ell incoming and outgoing packages
must be inspected by guards. This
requires time and creates confusion
when large numbers of workers are
carrying their shopping out Of the

Registered Nurses
Increase Charges 10
Meet Cost Of Livinq
8-Hour Day Rote Boosted
To $6 and 12-Hour Fee
From $3.50 to 50

Registered nurses Of Washington
have raised their charges for pri-
vate nursing service Ito meet the
increased cost of living"
The advances are from IS to $6 for
an 8-hour day and from $3.50 to
50 for l2-hour day.
The 20 per cent increase in
nurses compensation compares with
an approximate increase of 10 per
cent in cost of living from Decem-
ber, 1899. to November. 194l-the
most recent statistics of the Depart
ment of Labor)
In explaining the reason for the
increase, Miss Edith NJ Beattie, Sec
retary of the Graduate Nurses As
sociation of the District, pointed out
that the daily rate is not an &C
curate gauge of nurses income,
since few of those doing private
nursing can hope to work every day
Twenty days employment is con-
sidered a good monthly average. she
said.
Miss Beattie said rules of supply
and demand did not prompt the in
crease, despite the current general
shortage of trained nurses because
of increasing Army and Navy de-
mands. The rising cost of living was
discussed at the November meeting
of the association, and it was voted
the new rates should take effect
January she said
Shortage Causes Concern.
The shortage of competent nurs-
ing personnel is q cause of increas-
ing concern among hospitals here
and throughout the country, how
ever. Because of the requirements
of the armed services, it has been
estimated that about $4,000 addi-
tional nurses are needed urgently in
the United States.
Miss Mary Hawthorne. whose
committee of the District Red Cross
Chapter has been handling nurses
applications for Army and Navy
services, reported that los local
nurses have entered the armed
forces through her group in the
past year.
She pointed out this number did
not represent all Capital nurses
leaving civilian work For example
some on reserve lists have been
called into active service directly.
Many Entering the Service.
Many hospitals operating with
reduced STATS are faced with the
possibility of losing still more nurses
to the Army and Navy" Miss Eliza
beth D. Coleman, chairman of the
G. N. A. Nursing Information Com
mittee, declared. Gold weather is
bringing its extra burden of colds
and pneumonia to the already over
taxed hospital personnel"
A" refresher' course for graduate
registered nurses who have not been
active in their profession recently
began yesterday at Georgetown
Hospital with about 10 enrolled. A
similar class will begin February !
at Garfield Hospital
Miss Coleman said young women
interested in entering the nursing
field should investigate courses
beginning February / at George
town and Sibley Hospitals. These
are for the full three-year training
program.
Women interested in any Of these
courses can obtain full information
from the SuperintendentS of nurses
at the hospitals concerned.
A number of prospective nurses
taking college work will receive
practical training during the sum-
mer months at Providence Hospital,
it has been announced.

Landlord Who Cut
Rent Is Assured
He Broke No Law

The unusual case of a land
lord who feared he had broken
the law because he had reduced
rent in the last year came
up before Rent Administrator
Robert F. Cogswell today.
This landlord was renting a
house for 500 to a tenant on
January !. l94l, freezing date
for the District control law
which went into effect two
weeks ago. The following month
he reduced the rent to s75. He
realized. he said, the tenant
could not pay more than the
latter figure. He asked Mr..
Cogswell If the law compels him
to raise it to 500 again.
Mr.. CogSwell assured the man
he was within his rights to re-
duce the rent to any figure he
wished, in fact, he added it Is
a very unusual and commend
able thing to do. The admins
traitor explained that by freezing
rents the law establishes a
maximum rent ceiling. There is
no minimum.
