Cross will operate on Is per cent OF
the total 1t raises, he emphasized
how serious is the fact that wash
ington has subscribed only hall OF
its $750,000 quota.
What does this mean To the DIS
trict?" Mr.. Lund asked.
Let us consider home nursing,
for example. So far this year we
have graduated 10 classes-one-third
more than in the entire year 1871.
We must remember that the wartime
shortage of nurses and hospital BEDS
inevitably means that more women
must be properly instructed to care
for sickness at home. We should
bear in mind also that wartime
crowding is apt to bring epidemics.
Nursing Teacher Needed.
Right now the District Red Cross
desperately needs to add another
Home Nursing teacher to its staff"
he continued.
we need to add another instruc-
tor for nurses aide classes. The
importance of nurses aides to re-
lieve overburdened nurses in our
own hospitals has been stressed
again and again by hospitals, doc
tors and officials.
Washington people are aware
surely of our first-aid program. Per-
haps they do not know we out

country in the number of certi-
ficates issued in March, with mini
mum staff and cost. First aid train
ing is given free with the amazing
assistance of thousands of volun-
teer teachers. Nevertheless, 1t costs
money to handle certificates and
keep records. Do the people Of
Washington want this training seri-
ously curtailed7
No Fall Campaign Planned.

He said $4,000 is needed to carry
out a production program for sur
gical dressings and garments. Mobile
canteens will require $1,000. and ad-
ditional funds are wanted for needy
families of men in military service.
Courtenay Barber, campaign man

ring a major disaster-this will be

There were occasional sharp
clashes of patrols throughout the
day yesterday, but otherwise ground
activity was limited. Japanese naval
vessels shelled the west coast of the
peninsula and dive bombers at

dor, but no serious damage was re-
ported.
In Toxic, imperial headquarters
declared that anti-aircraft batteries,
an airfield, barracks and other mil

had been damaged beyond repair by
repeated japanese naval air attacks
between March "a and 81.
Although described as a heavy at
tack, the enemy assault, following q
week OF almost incessant bombing
attacks of varying intensity on the
Bataan positions and the Manila Bay
forts, was regarded in military cir

Gen. Wainwright's lines rather than
as the start of the long-expected de-
cisive battle for the Philippines.
When the drive comes, observers
believe, it will be marked by frontal
assaults along the entire Bataan

land large forces on the f1anking

units and all the air strength the
Japanese command in the Philip
pines can assemble. The aerial bonn

Phone Official Says
Hotels Collecting 1Oc
For Call Violate Rate
Hearing Told Company
Tried UnsueeessfuIIy
For Uniform Charge
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.


Hotels and other business firms
which charge 10 cents for local tele-
phone calls are violating the scent
charge provision in published tariffs,
a Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. official said today under ques-
tioning at joint hearing by the
Federal Communications Commits
sion and the District Public Utili-
ties Commission into complaints of
overcharging.
David E. Mccoy, general COM
mercial manager of the telephone
firm, said his company unsucess-
fully sought a uniform phone rate
in urging subscribers to install facil-
tiles directly connected with the
central telephone exchanges.
He added that his company tried
to obtain observance of the scent
charge, inaSmuch as the company
has authority to suspend telephone
service or even withdraw it where
it knows rules and regulations are
| being violated. He made that
statement under questioning by
Harold j.. Cohen, F. c. C. counsel.
Company Counsel Interrupts.
At this point R. A. Van Orsdel,
telephone company counsel, inter-
rupted the examination to say it
had been determined that If the
telephone company provided direct
facilities at scent rates in the
hotels, phone users would have the
option of paying or 10 cents a call.
That had been done, Mr.. Van Orsdel
said.
Mr.. Mccoy was questioned partic-
ularly by the F. c. c. attorney as
to public facilities at the Washing
ton and Willard Hotels. He said
those hotels had small auxiliary
switchboard. presided over by an
operator, who took orders for tele-
phone calls. On completion of the
call by the operator, Mr.. Mccoy
explained. the calling party was
connected with telephone in a
nearby booth.
He said that he did not know the
charge made for such local calls, but
believed it was 10 cents. In such in
stances, he explained, the operator,
if unable to complete the call imme-
diately, continued to try while the
applicant waited.
Similar Services at Station.
Mr.. Mccoy then was questioned
about similar service at the Union
Station. He admitted that the tele-
phone company maintained this
service, with operators performing
substantially the same service as
those in the hotels. He said the
telephone company collected only 5
cents local call at the Union Sta
ton.
However, he told the commissions
that he did not know all of the re-
quirements imposed on hotel OPP
orators, but added, generally speak
ing, there was no difference between
the hotel and Union Station service.
Mr.. Mccoy said the telephone
company had received only few
complaints over period of years
concerning the alleged super
charges by hotels. One complaint,
