Whole Regiment
Guaranteed by
ICose of Measles
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
March 16.-An entire regiment was
quarantined today because of one
case of measles.
Until yesterday, only Company C
of the 104th Quartermaster Regi-
ment was quarantined because one
of its members had contracted
measles.
But streamlining of the 29th divi-
sion from square" to "triangu-
lar" division caused members of
Company c to be scattered among
the entire regiment.
And, because these men had been
in contact with a measles case, the
whole regiment was quarantined as
safety measure.
The irony of 1t is that while tha
whole regiment is quarantined, the
private who contracted measles has
recovered and was dismissed from
the base hospital several days ago.

"I am shocked to read articles

Ensign Is Decorated
By Knox for Bravery
AT Pearl Harbor
T. H. Taylor Wins
Navy Cross; Directed
Fire While Wounded

The Navy paid tribute today to a
26-year -old ensign who, despite
wounds, burns and broken ear drums,
continued to direct operation of an
anti-aircraft battery aboard the
U. S. S. Nevada during the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
Secretary of the Navy Knox PEI
sonally pinned Navy Gross on the
breast of the ensign, Thomas H.
Taylor of Lima, Ohio. Tie award
was made in the Secretary's Office at
9 m. in the presence of other Navy
officials and newspaper and news
reel men.
Admits First Experience.
The blond, uniformed Ensign Tay-
lor stood erect throughout the cere-
mony, muscles of his jaws flexing
while the citation was read. He
smiled only when he shook his head
negatively in answer to a question
from Secretary Knox as to whether
he had ever done this before"
The citation, read by the Secre-
tary after the cross had been pinned
on the ensigns breast, explained
that the award was made "for dis
tinguished service in line of his pro-
fesSion, extraordinary courage and
disregard of his own condition dur
ing the attack on the feet in Pearl
Harbor."
Having assumed control of the
port anti-aircraft of the U. S. S.
Nevada" the citation further stated
''he continued to direct efficiently
that battery throughout the attack,
although wounded by shell frag-
ments, burned and deafened due to
broken ear drums. His presence of
mind in playing hose on the ready
ammunition boxes that were be-
coming very hot, due to the prox-
unity of fires, prevented casualties
and heavy damage to the battery"
Graduate of Annapolis.
Ensign Taylor was born at Lima
September 80, 1915, and was grad
uated from the Naval Academy in
1910. He was commissioned ensign
on June 6 of that year and ordered
to duty on a battleship in the Ha-
waiian area. On January 19. 1912,
following the Pearl Harbor attack,
he reported at the Federal Ship
building & Dry Dock Co. Kearney

Defendant 5 Verdict
In Suit Over Auto
Crash Reversed
Appeals Court Sends Case
Involving U. S. OffieioI
Back TO Lower Tribunal

Because the lower court allegedly
failed to permit disputed questions
of fact to be passed on and for
other errors the United States
Court of Appeals today reversed
and sent back to Municipal Court
a 81 900 damage suit, involving Jo-
seph w. Hiscox, chief of the Divi-
sion of Exhibits of the Agriculture
Department.
Mr.. Hiscox brought suit for per-
sonal injuries and property dam
age growing out of an auto accident
against Richard Jackson, 80 Pierce
street NV, taxicab operator. Mr..
Hiscox lives at 1920 Upshur street
NE.
At the close Of the evidence, Mu-
nicipal Court directed a verdict for
Mr.. Jackson on the ground that the
defendants corroborated testimony
to the effect the cab was being op-
Grated without his consent was un-
contradicted, and that Mr.. Hiscox
evidence identifying the defendant
as the operator of the cab at the
time of the accident was insufficient
Through Attorneys Douglas A.
Clark and Norman E. Sill, Mr..
Hiscox appealed. In today's decision
by Associate Justice Fred M Vinson,
who heard the case with Associate
Justice Harold M. Stephens and
Wiley Rutledge, the court said that
under the Districts Financial Re
sponsibility Act. with proof that a
defendant owned the automobile in
volved and with no evidence on be-
half of the defendant, a plaintiff
who has otherwise established liabil-
tty Is entitled to directed verdict"
Further, the court said: Instead,
In this case, there has been a di-
rected verdict for defendant. To
pass from a directed verdict for
plaintiff, through the area of jury
questions, to a directed verdict for
defendant, requires very strong COM
pelling evidence on behalf of de-
fendant. 1t requires evidence which
destroys all inferences and presump-
tions supporting plaintiff and which
raises no doubts against defendant
Here, we believe the defendants case
is not so strong and plaintiffs so
weak as to make directed verdict
for defendant proper"

Parent Teacher Association leaders
were vigorous III their praise Of the

Not only are children making
themselves part of the national de-
fense effort now, it was pointed out,
but they are learning the habit Of
conservation.
Colored schools are planning to
use the funds from sale Of the

buy clothes for the needy, pay for
educational tours and in one or
two cases to purchase modern

According to Mrs. P. G. Elicit,
president of the District Congress
of PARENT Teacher Associations.
few schools are using the funds to
build up emergency feeding stores
and purchase cots for restrooms.
The rest are purchasing equipment
for the schools.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, pres
ident of the Board Of Education,
said she had feeling Of pride every
morning as she sees small children

newspapers to school in their anx-
iety to contribute to the war effort"
an future years." she said. sit
will be a matter of pride to these
tiny tots that they have done their
part in the interests of their
country.
Teachers, too" she continued,
"are to be highly commended for
the efforts they have put forth in
handling this collection, which will
make 1t possible for the PIT. A. to
carry on its splendid program"
Ballou Stresses Value.
Supt. of Schools Frank w. Ballou
! emphasized the value Of the cam
paign because it directly relates the
students to national defense.
Mrs. Elicit declared that children
probably never realized the paper
had such value and that it could
be conserved. 1t gives them feel
ing of the responsibility Of helping
the country"
Mrs. Hunter pointed out that
addition of the salvage campaign
to emphasis in the school on pur-
chase of Defense bonds and stamps
means that patriotism is being
thoroughly taught"
The children" she declared,
have been deeply impressed by the
need of support for the Nation
from every child as well as adults

Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
Registering Women,
But No Draft
Reservoir of Those
Able to Aid in War
Would Be Set Up

Compulsory registration to build
up a reservoir of women able to
perform special wartime tasks was
advocated today by Mrs. Roosevelt
at a press conference at which she
described herself as a housewife
with some experience in writing a
column and speaking.
Pointing out that she had no de-
sire to draft women. but merely to
know their capacities and skills, she
said she thought such registration
would be valuable even If it only
helped make it possible to ask, for
volunteers.
Mrs. Roosevelt proposed the same
age limits as those provided for
men-18 to IS. She indicated she
didn't think the pressure was great
enough at the present time to draft
women.
Modest about her own ability, she
said she was very bad at cooking,
but thought she might improve; de-
scribed herself as excellent at home
nursing, thought she could translate
French, German and Italian with a
little brushing up and could drive
a car. but would have to learn mo-
tor repair.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she did not
believe in putting ceilings on wages
unless ceilings were put on profits
and prices at the same time. She
said she believed labor would agree
to be paid overtime in defense bonds
if invested capital would agree to be
paid in defense bonds for dividends
above per cent.
On the score OF conscientious OBJ
jectors, she said she believed II
takes courage to stand out against
the feeling of people that one is q
coward, but she said she had found
most of the conscientious objectors
were fine young men, willing to dc
anything useful except take part in
combat.
Asked about the White House
greenhouses, soon to be torn down
to make way for a road, Mrs Roose-
welt said loss of the greenhouses
would result in simplified decora-
tions and less flowers in the rooms
No more cut flower gardens will
be planted on the White House
grounds. Some of the valuable
greenhouse flowers used for decora-
ton will be sent to other Govern
ment greenhouses and other plants
will be sold, she said.
The greenhouses will not be re-
moved before the blooming of the
Easter lilies, but the White House
no longer will be able to get Christ
mas poinsettias from the green
houses. She indicated she had in
quired to find out II the Botanic
Garden and the Agriculture Depart
ment could supply the White House
with flowers, but learned that this
could not be done,
In the past new cuttings have
been planted for three years ahead.
Usually roses and carnations were
grown in the greenhouses as well as
ferns and such seasonal flowers as
the lilies and poinsiettas. No other
greenhouse will be constructor on
the White House grounds for the
duration Of the war and the extra
gardeners will be sent to the Park
Service, she said.
The annual spring garden parties
have been Cancelled along with the
Easter egg roll and the former large
receptions are being limited to small
delegations.
The White House informed the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton of this change of policy before
they voted to hold their Continental
Congress in Chicago 1his year.
