Stepping up its program in tempo
with this reaction, the Red Cross

for the District originally was set
by the Office of Civilian Defense

total of at least 1,500 and, by the
time that goal is reached may in
crease the figure to 1000.

Ry PAT JONES.

The brightest hope of meeting the
demands of hospitals with the re-
duced nursing service now avail
able in Washington appears to be
through the employment of Red
Cross nurses aides and other auXil-
larry workers, both paid and vol
untary.
Widespread use of nurses aides
on which some nursing groups
frowned before the war emergency
struck, now is an accepted reality
The demand for these workers to
pad out the ground covered by the
overworked professional nursing
staffs grows daily, and the principal
fear of medical interests is that
they cannot be supplied in the fu-
ture as rapidly as they are needed.
Even the highly trained nurse
sees the aide as the best way out
of a bad situation. One veteran
pointed out, for instance, that these
volunteer auxiliary workers, who
will be available only throughout
the duration. seem to be the only
means by which to increase civilian
nursing service without overcrowd-
ing the profession in postwar days.
Demand Expected to Grow.
II remember in the years fol-
lowing the close of the last war that
we had so many nurses some of
them worked for their board and
ROOM" she said
With the armed forces taking
graduate nurses at the rate of s.
600 month. the demand will be
worse next year. At a meeting of
the District Medical Society We'd
nesday night, o. X. Fike, leader
of round table discussion group as
director Of Doctors Hospital, warned
that where we now have three or
four nurses. next year we will have
one nurse and three or four auxil-
iary workers"
A similar warning was brought
back recently by delegates to the
American Hospital Association con-
vefItion at st. Louis. They were
told there. they reported, that Is per
cent Of the work done by nurses in
normal times must be done by VOL
unteers or auxiliary workers.
This note also was sounded by the

BEST Bet" Says Rutland.
IF we brought back all the nurs-
ing power now in other fields and
increased all our schools" the COM
mittee reported, "it still would be "a
months before we could begin to
realize benefits from the expanded
training program. We must face
the fact that at least so per cent of
the hospital work must be done by
others than nurses"
Basing their conclusions on the
experience with nurses aides who
already have gone to work, medical
interests are not averse to meeting
the predicament in this manner.
II see the nurses aides as def
mite solution to the problem" said
DR.. George C. Ruhland, District
health officer. IT have been ac-
cused by the press of being dissatis-
fled with the Red Cross work in
training these aides. If my words
were taken to mean this, the wrong
Interpretation was placed upon
them. Figures show that the Red
Cross is doing fine job along this
line. We heartily indorse the hos
pital aide courses. It's our best bet"
valuable Adjunct"
Miss Gertrude Bowling, executive
director of the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society, who thinks that hos
pitfalls should have priorities on
nurses aides over agencies and
clinics, said they are a valuable
adjunct and should be encouraged
and promoted"
From Miss Edith M. Beattie,
executive secretary of the Graduate
Nurses Association, came the opin-
ion that Red Cross nurses aides
"are doing wonderful Job, are a
definite aid and should be encour-
aged"
The committee named last sum-
mer by Commissioner Guy Mason
to study the hospital situation
recommended "the full utilization
Of all Red Cross volunteer nurses

pleted the course and that the hos

Morocco Attack

eign diplomats said today that

rushing the defenses of Morocco
and Tunis in Morocco to meet the
possibility of an American or Brit
ish- American attack, and in Tunis
TO discourage Italian ambitions.
They said the main Vichy effort
was in Morocco obviously with
German approval. because it was
there that the NaZis most feared
an Allied attack. Vichy was re-
ported shipping large quantities of
cement and other materials across
the Mediterranean TO build the
defenseS.
What was left over went 10
Tunis. with the result that the
Algerians complained they got
nothing to build their defenses.
The diplomats said the defense
building in Tunis obviously was
aimed at the Italians. who PERIOD
cally clamor for seizure of that
territory.

They think they are logical and
dealing in truths. Yes. but only
up TO the point where they must
reach a conclusion as TO what
they in tend to do about their
grievances. Their complaints are
founded on some justice. so they
think only about these complaints,
but never do they say what they
think should be done.
In all the hundreds OF letters
reaching me. not single cores
pendent in this third group sug-
gested any course Of action. -,
They dare not bring themselves
to il.
They dare not face the conclu-
sion implied by their argument,
because that would bring them to
advocate surrender-surrender of
the country to the Japs and Nazis.
They cannot meet the obvious
consequences of their own position,
and advocate peace, because they
know peace today means surren-
der and national misery for many
generations to come.
Promote Defeat
They Just keep on mopins about
their grievances 10 an extent
where they. as mass group are
actually promoting the conse-
quences of their position which
they dare not face-defeat.
Whether they realize it or not,
they are contributing TO defeat,
both negatively. by doing nothing
constructive, and affirmatively. by
their influence in thought.
That kind of disillusioned and
honest idealism is doublecross
played upon our soldiers. our army
and navy and marine corps even
by some fathers, mothers and
brothers of boys in the service.
