General Duty Nurses
 Needed At Hospitals
State Authorities Map Program on Shortage; Drastic
 Steps to Be Taken to Alleviate Condition

New Haven, Nov. 20,-Concrete suggestions for meeting the danger ous shortage of general duty nurses in Connecticut hospitals is made by two hospital directors in the cur rent issue of the Connecticut State Medical Journal, official publica- ton of state physicians,
 Sidney G. Davidson, director of Grace hospital in New Haven, and Robert N. Brough, superintendent of the Norwalk General hospital report that hospitals in Connecticut are short -handed at present and thpt drastic steps must be taken to alleviate this condition,
 Hospitals arc caring for mere patients than they have ever had before and, In trying to render ade- quate service 10 the sick, And them selves frightfully handicapped by the lack of nursing personnel" says MT Davidson.
 He suggests that if 30 per cent of the 2974 private duty nurses in Connecticut accepted employment in hospitals to meet necessary stan quotas, another 30 per cent of this group could at once he made avail able to meet tho needs cf the Army and Navy, and there would still be enough private duty nurses left to meet the emergency needs of the sick.
 There Is just one other factor that enters into the picture" he reports, namely, many persons hav- ing no need for a private nurse still demand that service more for com panionship or the luxury of hav- ing some ono at hand to care for their every wish"
 Superintendent Brough says that the only logical and realistic solu- ton is that medical societies, nurses registrles and hospitals should cooperate to rectify the im- proper allocation of the available supply Of nurses.
 "Half-hearted measures will not do," he asserts, "All graduate nurses who work within the hospitals should assign nurses to either prl- vate duty or floor duty as seems wise, The plan, while radical, has proved successful at various hospi- talS throughout the country"

Postal Workers 10 Lose
40.Hour Week by Law

BY the Associated Press.
Post off1ce employees are to lose
their 40-hour week under q bill
passed by Congress last week and
now awaiting President Roosevelt's s
signature.
The legislation provides, in effect
a 48-hour week. 1t abolishes the
present requirement for compensa-
tory time of for work beyond 40
hours and enables the Post Once
Department to pay overtime instead
The overtime pay will be at the
regular rate, rather than time and
q half.
The measure was advocated by
the department in view of the gen.
eral labor shortage and the large
number of postal employees called
to military service. Chairman Rom
jue of the House Post Once Com
mittee said there was no opposition
to it before his committee or on
the House or Senate floors.
The Postmaster General will have
discretion to order the longer work
week in effect in localities where
the action is necessary and it may
not become universal throughout

Given Hitler for Bribe
Fund, London Told
Poper Soys Industry
Provides Funds for
Secret Payments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 21.-The Sunday
Times said tonight that German
heavy industry provides Adolf Hitler
with a private income Of at least
$4,000 900 annually, a portion Of
which is used "for secret payments
he makes to those whose support
can be bought"
The paper said that industry
raised the fund-known as the
Adolf Hitler Spende der Deutschen
Wirtschaft-from concealed taxes
on wages.
Deposited in a private banking
account. it supplements HitlerS
other income of $21 600, 900 to $40
900, 900 annually from the central
Verlag. the biggest German publish
ing organization which controls two
third of the German newspapers
and much of the book publishing
business, the paper said. 1t was
charged earlier in the week that
Hitler had conflscated the publish.
ing business largely from Jews.
Some Of this huge fund may be
put back into the war effort" the
Sunday Times said some may be
used to maintain Hitler's bodyguard
and private establishments like
Berchtesgaden. But Hitler Spende
is employed to give him corrupt
buying power of the most formidable
kind over individuals"
The Times said the fund was
started in 1888 when Hitler called
some of the big German indus
trialists and bankers including
Krupp Won Bohlen and Staatrat
Reinhart and told them he would
like for a fund to be put at his per-
sonal disposal "for charitable pur-
poses"
His guests agreed to pay a tax Of
one-half of / per cent of the total
wage bill Of German heavy indus
try" the Sunday Times said Pay
ments were concealed in balance
sheets under the heading Of social
taxes"

based their action on their point Of
view that he was a Russian subject
with no right to Polish passport,
and not on his political views.

Soviet Foreign Commissariat and dis
covered that the Soviet government
supported the action of the police
and acquiesced in the reasons ad-
vanced for the taking of the pass
ports.
Backed by Two Documents.
The Polish government had two
documents from the Russian gov
eminent which seem to have been
violated in the passport action. The
Soviet-Polish agreement Of July,
l94f. re-establishing relations be-
tween Russian and Poland after
their interruption in 1889, says:
The government of the U. S. S.
r. recognizes the Soviet German
Treaties of 1899 as to territorial
changes in Poland as having lost
their validity"
The protocol to this July agree
ment states:
The Soviet government grants
amnesty to all Polish citizens now
detained on Soviet territory either
as prisoners of war or on other
sufficient grounds, as from the re-
sumption Of diplomatic relations. /"
The Polish government is said to
seek support in Washington be-
cause it wonders how vigorous is
London's attitude toward terri
torfal inviolability where the Rus
sian ally Is concerned. Sir Stafford

actually has started work on only
one project-Friendship-in this

called, will have 720 apartments and
LIPS rooms. The only other Govern
ment project started is James Greek,
in Southwest Washington, which the
A. D. A. is building for 278 families.
This project is being built with U.
S. H. A. funds and originally was
intended for slum dwellers. Due to
the emergency war workers will be
given occupancy preference when
it Is finished.
A. D. A. still has funds available
from slum clearance for three prof.
ects similar to James Greek. The
three projects planned will contain
total of LIS family units. Pre-
sumably these will be available for
war workers.
All of these figures show that
Washington sooner or later may
have 33,393 new family units and
1900 new rooms. Only q small per-
centage can be completed by June
30. The others, many of which may
not be built at al, possibly win be

Lily Pons and her husband, Andre

at Constitution Hall last evening
to one OF the most enthusiastic
demonstrations ever accorded visit
ing artists. The former Is soloist
and the latter Is guest conductor
of the National Symphony Or
chestra were the drawing cards OF
special concert outside the reg
ular symphony series.
It was the frst time that Miss
Pons has been heard here with
orchestral accompaniment. The
support Of Z heavier musical back
ground and the watchful care OF
Mr.. Kostelanetz in adjusting the
orchestral volume to her require
ments enhanced the color of her
voice and brought out its best
qualities.
Dressed in . boufiant gown OF

over it. the blue and white repeated
in her headdress, and carrying
bright red bouquet, she presented
a nationalistic color scheme quite In

was a touch of THE Daughter OF
the Regiment" in the style OF her
costume. and excerpts Of that opera,
her latest success at the Metropoii-
tan were the last numbers on the
program.
In a setting that Is more con-
genial to her than the subdued
atmosphere OF a recital program
her voice gained in power and BRIL-
liancy. The numbers she sang are
well known to her public for they
have formed . part Of her song
recitals.
These consisted of the caro-
Nome" aria from 'Rigoletto,'
Bishops 10, Here the Gentle
Lark" Faure's LES Roses dIspa-
han" and the Mo1art-LA Forge
Variations" sung, as was the
Bishop song. with flute obligato,
The only novelty was three num-
bers from "The Daughter OF the
Regiment" "Chacun lie sait." I'll
faut partir" and "Salut la France, !"
the latter a particularly moving and
significant song for Miss Pons.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, March 20
Delayed The fall of the Kallay
government Of Hungary, followed by
q regime more subservient to Ger
many, was predicted today by an
informed Axis source.
This, he said would be an indirect
result of a speech by Rumania's Act
ing Premier Mihail Antonescu which
has just resurrected Rumanian ter
ritorial differences with Hungary.
The implication was that Germany
for the moment is backing Rumania
over the Pennsylvania question, hop
ing to blackjack Hungary into con-
ceding q bigger army for Russian
battlefields.
In q startling frank conversation
the informant said the Nicolas Kal-
lay government was showing the
same reluctance to send Hungarian
soldiers to Russia as its predecessor
headed by Count Laszlo De Bar
dossy, and that what the Nazis want
is real quisling government in
Hungary"
Troops Reported Massed.
GA B. B. C. broadcast, quoting
4 Swiss correspondent in Berlin,
said it was reported six Hun
garian divisions had been massed
along the Hungarian-Ru -Rumanian
frontierD
The Axis source said it was eX-
pected that the Kallay government
would be replaced by "a government
more willing to bow to German de-
mands that large Hungarian forces
fight Russia"
He supported the theory that
Count De Bardossy resigned on
March 10 not because of i'll health,
the reason given. but because he
had refused Nazi demands.
The Kanay government should
not be regarded as anything but an
interim affair."" he said. 1T should
fall soon"
Kallay has announced that he was
pursuing the same foreign policy
and relationship with the Axis as
De Bardossy and that he was calling
his predecessor to handle foreign
affairs

The Rumanian Hungarian dis
pute was brought into the open
Thursday by Antonescu, who has
