FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
June 3.-Shakespeare, Maurice
Evans and Judith Anderson scored
triple triumph here last night as
Macbeth" was offered a soldier
audience in the first attempt to
present classic drama to the Army.
The experimental performance
proffered with some trepidation by
those responsible. turned out to be
one of the famed Evans-Anderson S
companies most complete successes
If there was any doubt that "the
/. boys" couldn't take anything more
serious than variety or perhaps an
occasional farce. it was dispelled,
so far as this sector was concerned
and probably these men are not
much different from others in uni
form scattered so widely.
Goes Over Big.
While Mr.. Evans and Miss Ander-
son presented the complete company
and settings which have just closed
a notable road tour, and critics
have called this the finest version
of Macbeth" ever. critics from the
War Department-critics of the
audience, not the players-pointed
out that, after all, Shakespeare
also was involved. No matter how
we'll done, they commented, the
bard's drama had to get over.
Well, 1t did, but conspicuously.
Nearly 1000 of the lads in khaki
-infantrymen, artillery, engineers
filling every seat in Meade's Theater
No. 4. listened with enthralled at
tention throughout the two acts
and IT scenes. Often, when there
was an outstanding delineation,
such as the voice of Macbeth's con-
science and Lady Macbeth's sleep
g-walking scene, there was spon-
taneous applause, prolonged. And
there was no claQue.
At the close, after MacDuff had
properly finished off the villanous
and unhappy Macbeth, the company
was called before the curtain no
less than 10 times.
Tickets for the show, costing the
soldiers nothing, we're distributed

On the opening highland. don't

the dark intrigues of the Scottish

Mr.. Evans offered his show as an

10000 More
Women Sought
In D. {. Defense
Need Emphasized
By First DoyIight
Ruid Practice

A city-wjde campaign TO enroll
at least 10000 more women in the
emergency services OF the Districts
civilian defense organization-in-
cluding approximately $1,000 for the
afraid warden branch-was an
nounced today by Miss Mary Mason,
deputy warden in charge of wom-
ems activities.
Miss Mason said the need for
additional women civilian defense
volunteers was emphasized during
the Districts first full-scale daylight
test yesterday, when AFRAID
warden duties in residential COM
munities were taken over by women
wardens.
She said preliminary reports from
these communities indicated that
the District had only about rs per
cent "coverage" by wardens during
the drill. The deficiency, she de-
clared, undoubtedly resulted from
the fact that some communities did
not have enough housewife" war
dens to take the place of husbands
at work.
Many More Needed.
"We need great many more
women for warden service, as well
as for other services. such as emer-
gency feeding and housing. fire
watchers and messengers, Miss
Mason said
The District now has about $4,000
AFRAID wardens, of whom 1895
are women. The number of women
wardens should be increased by at
least 1900, Miss Mason said. Some
1900 women are enrolled as fire
watchers. Miss Mason says she
needs at least 1000 more. In addi-
ton, she said, many more women
are needed for the emergency feed
ing and housing and messenger
services.
Miss Mason said she had not
received formal reports on yester-
days test, but estimated on the
basis of preliminary data that only
about $500 of the approximately
1000 women AFRAID wardens were
on duty during the test. She said
she was pleased by the reports Of
those who did participate
Most of the women wardens al
ready enrolled have received some
training, but only about so per cent
are fully trained-that is. have been
instructed in how to combat incen-
diary bombs and gases. in first aid
and in the general handling of
sector and zone posts.
Must Be Fully Trained.
Women who take the place Of
/ their warden-husbands during the
daylight hours, or whenever the hus-
band is at work or out of town. must
be sworn in and trained just as any
other warden, Miss Mason said.
That the warden coverage in resi-
Dental communities was somewhat
spotty during yesterdays drill was
indicated in reports from various
sections.
In one section where the sector

den would be on duty inside the

no instructions about substituting

bands. had been posted as wardens.
but reporters in the zone found
only four during the test.
In one large apartment house

To Act on Appropriation
For D. c. Postponed

Members Of the Senate District
Committee may consult Senator
O'Mahoney. Democrat, of Wyoming.
in charge of District appropriations,
before acting on the S300-pay-in-
crease bill for policemen and fire.
men.
Although consideration of the bill
and its effect on District finances
prompted Chairman McCarran and
Senator Overton to call attention
again yesterday to the inadequacy
of the $4,000 900 Federal payment
toward the annual expenses of the
National Capital, there appeared To
be little hope of reopening the fiscal
relations problem this late In the
present session of Congress
Meanwhile, the meeting scheduled
for today of the appropriations sub
committee to act on changes in the
s56, 6,137 900 local appropriation bill
has been postponed, probably until
tomorrow.
Supporters of the police-flre pay
bill believe they have sufficient
votes to report it to the Senate, but
they postponed action until next
week after the Commissioners and
Budget Officer Walter Fowler op-
posed it for two main reasons.
They argued that if the policemen
and firemen are given the increase.
it would justify demands for a
similar increase by the remainder
of the 1900 city employees. Mr.
Fowler admitted the District could
meet the 100000 cost of the police
and fire increase for the fiscal year
1943, but after that he predicted
the District will face financial
difficulties in 1914 and 1945 due to
war emergency needs.
If the bill led to a general pay
increase throughout the District
service the cost would be $4,000
a year, Mr.. Fowler estimated.
The District already owes the
Treasury $l3,000,000, on which it
must make annual reimbursements,
and the Commissioners may have
to borrow another $1,000 900 for air
raid precautions and civilian de-
fense, Mr. Fowler said.
1t was this gloomy financial out
look after 1943 that prompted Sem
ator McCarran to reaffirm his be-
lief in the need for a larger Federal
participation in the upkeep of the
Federal City.

Taxi Pickup Plan
May Be Modified 10
Include MoreC Cabs
Suggestion by Hunkin
Made to Bring Diamond
Drivers Into Service

A suggestion that the Public
its rush-hour taxi pickup service
order so that the operators of the
Diamond cabs may be included
without destroying their concession
rights at Union Station. hotels and
other places was before the COM
mission today.
The suggestion was made by Com
mission Chairman Gregory Hankin
during yesterdays long session of
questioning on the issues as to
whether the Independent Taxi Own
ers Association (the Diamond opera
tors) should be compelled to engage
in the pickup service and whether
cab concessions are in the public
interest.
Performance Bond Given.
Diamond spokesmen have been
fighting inclusion in the pickup
service on the ground that the
Commissions pickup order would
prevent them from giving the serv-
ice to the station. hotels, apart
mentS and other places they had
given bond to perform. Mr.. Hankin
insisted this was not the case
Harry Davis, president. and Ring
gold Hart and John J. Wilson, coun-
sci for the Diamond group. declared
they saw no objection to the pick
up service if there was no obstacle
to meeting their contract obliga-
tions.
Suggests Procedure.
Mr.. Hankin assured them that If
they were in the pickup service they
still could service special places,
and that thereby the cab drivers
had the opportunity of making more
money when they carried full loads.
He said station and hotel service
might be assured by system where
by, if more cabs were needed at the
station, notice might be given to
cabs arriving at the hotels or other
places, and the drivers could post
an "On Calls sign on their cabs and
head at once for the station.
As an indication of its RESPONSE
bilities to Union Station, for which
concession the group said it pays
the Washington Terminal $4,000 a
year, Diamond spokesmen report
ed that during April of this year
14,603 cabs were dispatched from
the station between am. and 8
am, the peak period.

Nursing Home
For Aged Seni|e
Here |ndorsed
Health Chiefs See
Need for Higher
STANDARD of Case

Plans for the establishment of
nursing home for senile persons,
many Of whom now are housed at
st. Elizabeth's Hospital or at the
Home for Aged, were advanced today
when a group Of five Government
officials agreed upon a formal state
ment Of policy declaring the move
advisable.
Those signing the policy state
ment were DR.. Winfred Overholser,
superintendent of st. Elizabeth's;
Health Officer George C. Rutland,
T. Gillespie Walsh, chairman of the
Commission on Mental Health: Dr.
Edgar A. Bocock. superintendent of
Gallinger Municipal Hospital. and
Walter L. Fowler, the District budget
officer.
Idea Suggested by Fowler.
The suggestion originated with
Mr.. Fowler some weeks ago when
he first proposed that portion OF
the projected new Home for Aged
be devoted to the care Of the senile
wards. Later he suggested that
100000 Of requested Lanham Act
money be used for erection Of a
dormitory adjacent to Gallinger
Hospital for the senile requiring
special care and treatment.
District officials recognize that
delay in provision of funds and re-
strictions on use Of building ma
terials for other than war purposes
may push the project into the fu-
ture, but the joint statement was
regarded as fundamental in getting
a policy agreement by officials re-
lated to the problem.
Five Point Statement.
The statement, which follows,
contains these points:
1. That mental hospital care
should be thought of in cases of
mental disorder of the aged only
as a last resort.
g. That many hundreds Of aged
individuals have been committed to
st. Elizabeth's Hospital suffering
technically from mental disorder,
even though their condition was
such that they could be cared for
in suitable institution other than
a mental hospital if such an insti-
tuition had been available.
3. That there is a very definite
need at this time in this city of a
domiciliary nursing home for the
care and treatment of the aged in
that condition which requires a
higher standard of care than can be
provided in the Home for the Aged
to be subject to the same provisions
OF the law which requires the paw
ment for care of patients commit
ted to ST Elizabeth's.
Numbers Increasing.
4. That the proportion Of older
persons admitted to st. Elizabeth's
Hospital is increasing, and that the
establishment of domiciliary nurs-
ing home could we'll be the begin
ming Of an institute of geriatrics.
5. That about 100 senile patients
who are now annually committed
to st. Elizabeth's Hospital could.
without the necessity of a judicial
finding of insanity, be assigned to
this proposed home for treatment:
that about 200 now committed to
st. Elizabeth's could be transferred
to such a home, and that not less
than 100 in the present Home for the
Aged could be removed for treat
ment to such a home.
To this Mr.. Fowler, in report to
the Commissioners today, added,
I'VE believe that a great service
would be rendered to the people of
the District if this project were
adopted, and particularly to the
individual families directly in
volved."
