Fuel Dealers 10 Enroll

cause blanks had not been received
from the printers, will take place

nounced today by L. P. Steuart, ra-
tioning officer for the District.
Registrations must be made, it was
emphasized, at the local area board
in which the dealer is located. All
boards will be open between 9 am.

Boards were continuing to receive
applications for fuel oil rations from
individual users. The largest por-
ton of these in the District have
been sent out to regular customers

rectly to the area boards by the
applicants.
Individual consumers have been
asked to return applications to their
rationing boards by November /.

November l, however, will receive
their oil ration on a prorated basis.
Coupon sheets, which the indi-
vidual users will need to get oil, have
not been received for distribution, it
was reported today by the local Office
of Price Administration, but this will
not bar those who file applications
from getting needed fuel.
Those whose applications are filed,
but not acted on by rationing boards,
before November /, will be given oil
by dealers on promissory note plan,
by which they will promise to turn
over to. the dealer coupons covering

Better Hours and Pay Held
Key to Adequate Nurse Supply
Revision Already Effected Helps Some;
Salary Scale Depends on PubIic's Purse

Board of the District Medical Soci-
ETY., who has taken leading interest
in the hospital situation here, sug-
gests that professional nursing serv-
ice be limited to the specialist or
supervisory field.
Grades of Pay Suggested.
1t would be DR.. Ramsey's idea to
do with a minimum of graduate
nurses, all Of whom would be paid
the salary they deserve as profess
sional women, and to fill out the
staff with nurses aides or auxil-
iary workers, who naturally would
expect a much lower scale of pay.
Thus arranged the hospital staff
would be headed by capable super
visors, highly trained and well paid.
Next would come the nurses, who
in turn would be we'll trained and
we'll paid and who would each have
supervision over several aides. 1t
would be the aides who would at
tend to the drudgery and routine
work customarily included among
the duties of the nurses.
Some improvement to working
conditions is expected to grow out
of the construction program soon
to be started by the Federal Works
Agency. New and temporary nurses
homes will be built in some in
stances, while in others existing
quarters will be expanded. The
drawback here, as in the case of
obstetrical wards, is that these
buildings will not be ready for oc-
cupancy for several months.
And in the meanwhile Washing
tons nursing situation is growing
rapidly worse.

Work in Special Service,
Mrs. Davis Reveals

American Red Cross volunteer
workers soon will be making 100000
surgical dressings an hour, Mrs.
Dwight F. Davis, national director
of volunteer special services, de-
clared today at a joint meeting Of
Red Cross and labor officials in the
Washington Hotel.
In two years the number of women
volunteers in the special services
has increased from So, 900 to 2, IT'S 900,
Mrs. Davis said. She gave general
outline Of the different groups in the
services.
Guy Emerson, vice chairman of
the American Red Cross War Fund,
said today's meeting had two main
purposes - outlining the respon-
sibilities of the Red Cross in wartime
and to discuss participation of labor
organizations in campaign and other
Red Cross work.
Approximately a score of labor
representatives had registered when
the meeting was called to order by
James L. Fieser, vice chairman in
charge of domestic operations of the
Red Cross. Chairman Norman H.
Davis, who was to have welcomed
those attending, was unable to be
present because of cold.
Robert E. Bondy, Red Cross ad-
ministrator of services in the armed
forces, said assuring the welfare
of the men in the service perhaps
comes closest to the hearts of the
people" In addition to looking
after the welfare of men themselves,
he explained, the Red Cross sees
that medical attention is provided
for the mems families at home, helps
in arranging for education of the
children, also for the proper feed
ing and housing of families and aids
both the families and men in relief
from worry.

Take it from combat pilot who

They're mighty good, I've got to
say that observed First 1t. Frank
E. Angler of Baltimore, who arrived
here yesterday on furlough after
a six-day trip from New Guinea.
"One of our boys swears he was
doing $50 miles an hour and looked
back to see Jap Zero on his tail
all the time waving back and forth
and making passes at him. said
1t. Angler.
"I'll take the good old American
plane though. The pilot protection
is better and you've got far better
chance of coming through it."
First Shot Down July 4.
1t. Angler has had quite a time
since he got his wings at Selma,
Ala, a year ago yesterday. Sent
to Australia to join Gen. Mac
Arthur's forces, 1t. Angler and his
pursuit squadron went to New

He celebrated the Fourth of July

Three weeks later he was shot

They used to pray every once in

figured they were praying for me-"
He hurt his back and his leg

the Order of the Purple Heart. The

Most disconcerting experience of

mercial airline here.

the devil to fly behind somebody
else" said 1t. Angler.
His squadron was credited with a
number of japanese pursuits, be-
sides the Gripping of three bombers,
but 1t. Angler said he had none

announced today.
For this reason. it was announced,

Collateral dependency means per-
sons who have dependent relatives

ried men at this time, it was said,
and there is no need for registrants

has changed since registration, in
which case the board should be
informed.
The board today announced the
names of 140 registrants and four
transfers who are to be inducted
November 9. None of them are 3-A
men.
The board said the date for calling
married men depends upon many
factors, including the size of quotas

Liquor Store Bandit
Crashes in Stolen
Car, But Escapes
New York Avenue
HoIdup Nets $500;
Police See Smoshup

An armed colored man today held
up Harry Katz, 36, proprietor of
liquor store at 1861 New York avenue
NE, and escaped with $500 in
stolen automobile.
A few minutes later, the bandit
eluded a pursuing police scout car,
and then crashed the car he was
driving into a tree at Third and @
streets NV. He escaped on foot,
police said.
The holdup occurred at am. in
the Greyhound Liquor Store, shortly
after Mr.. Katz had opened for the
day. According to the proprietor,
the bandit entered the store, osten-
sibly to make purchase. While Mr..
Katz was waiting on him, the man
produced nickel-plated pistol and
demanded the proprietor's money.
Hands Back Wallet.
Mr.. Katz said he turned over his
wallet containing $500 in cash. After
removing the money, the bandit
handed back the wallet and ordered
his victim to crawl under the
counter. He then ran outside and
into the car, parked at the curb.
A description of the car, which
had been reported stolen yesterday
was obtained from passerby, Louis
Pote, who witnessed the getaway.
A scout car picked up the trail of
the stolen car even before the look
out was flashed over the police radio.
Apparently unaware that the driver
was wanted in connection with the
holdup, officers in the scout car
chased the bandit along @ street be-
cause he was speeding and driving
against traffic on a one-way street.
Crashes Making Turn.
At Third street, the bandit at
tempted to turn and crashed into a
tree after first tearing a wheel off
against another tree. Officers were
prevented from shooting, they said,
because of the large number of
school children on the street at the
time.
Police were checking on the pos
sibility that the bandit may be a
man wanted by Jessup, Md, author
tiles and who escaped last night
from the fifth precinct station,
where he was being held.
According to Mr.. Katz, the bandit
was about Is years old, light-skin-
ned, about 5 feet inches tall and
was wearing a clean white bandage
on his cheek. Police expressed the
theory that the bandage was ap-
piled especially for the holdup to
provide a means of Identification
which could later be removed.
