Maverick Outlines
Plans 10 Care for
Million j. ). Wounded
Urges Swift Conversion
Of Available Space
For Hospital Uses

A plan of expanding hospital ia
cilities along the line of the pro-
gram now under way in Washing
ton, in order to care for an esti-
mated million wounded American
soldiers expected to come soon from
the worlds battle fronts, was laid
before the American Hospital Asso-
citation by Maury Maverick, director
of the WPB's Governmental Divi-
sion. in Chicago yesterday.
The director urged that all exist
ing space be used and that all
kinds of buildings, including sea
side resorts, mountain homes, dude
ranches, Office buildings, spas, fish
ing lodges. factories and ski lodges" "
be adapted to hospital purposes.
The meeting also was marked by
report from the association presi-
dent. James A. Hamilton, that nurses
would have to be rationed unless
there was a substantial increase in
the number trained by nursing
schools. He estimated $4,000 new
nurses would be needed to insure
adequate care for patients.
Will Establish Agency.
This report was accompanied by
an announcement from Miss Alma
C. Haupt, executive secretary of a
nursing subcommittee of the De-
fense Health and Welfare Service in
Washington, that the War Man
power Commission would establish
an agency for nurses to function
along the lines of procurement and
assignment service for doctors. She
predicted a shortage of 10000 nurses
by next October.
Following the pattern of expansion
his division had outlined for Wash
ington, Mr.. Maverick said existing
hospitals must be made to serve the
maximum number of people and
that a minimum occupancy OF 80
per cent must be maintained in
civilian hospitals at all times. He
also urged reducing the average
length of stay of obstetrical, surgl-
cal and medical patients ito the
lowest point considered practicable
by your staff doctors
Must Be Essential.
If every step is taken to use exist
ing facilities and proof can be given
that the war effort still will be in
terfered with unless other facilities
are made available. he added, the
War Production Board will approve
application for additional construc-
tion. provided further that the prof.
ect is judged absolutely essential
and materials are available.
AS an important step toward
meeting the disqualification problem
he predicts for America, Mr.. Maver-
ick urged that national survey of
existing hospital space and buildings
suitable for that purpose be made
Immediately.

Aircraft Identification
Club Looks Forward
To Aviation Era
Lectures, Models Aid
Bethesda Chevy Chase
Victory Corps Unit

The 26 boys and girls enrolled in
the Victory Corps Aircraft Identi-
flcation Club at Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School believe the fu-
ture of the world lies in the sky,
and when the war is over they want
to be conyersant with the kinds of
craft that will link the nations in
travel and commerce. While the
war is on they hope that what they
learn in the club will help them as
aircraft spoilers,
Identifying airplanes isn't simple
matter. The Army and Navy now
have more than 60 different types
Before the course is completed, the
students hope to be able to identify
all of them. Some already are
familiar with 80 or more.
Lectures Arranged.
Three students, John Bryan, John
Ecuck and David Yaukey, have VOL
unteered to give one lecture each
week on different plane. Mrs.
Florence Massey Black, the clubs
faculty representative, will lecture
one day weekly, and the other
members Of the club will furnish
volunteer lecturer for the fifth
day each week. The lecture will
consist of all the information
available on certain type of plane,
together with pictures of models.
Through the cooperation of the
high school shop, the club has
worked out system of silhouetting
planes in the classroom. A wooden
box, constructed by the shop boys,
is hung from the classroom ceiling
Its interior, painted white and
lighted, is visible from the bottom.
When an airplane model is drawn
through the box, with the aid of
wires, the student gets the impress
sion of a plane silhouetted against
the sky.
More Models Prepared.
Chief difficulty with this plan, in
the past, was the lack of models,
which is gradually being overcome
as the students build their own.
First drawn to scale, the models
are then carved from a block of
wood with the aid of a razor.
It's no easy matter to make a
model, some of the students are
finding out. An energetic twist of
the razor may take off bulge that
is necessary for the proper shape
of the ship and then the carving
process has to be started all over
again. Chief headache, according to
Mrs. Black. is the final painting of
the model. Often the paint melts
the glue holding the parts together
and the gluing has to be redone.s
The girls in the class have done
some beautiful work, Mrs. Black
says. They are no less adept than
the boys with their carving razors.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 13.-The af-
fair Of the "ferryboat oysters" was
stewing today as the Maryland Gen
eral Assembly entered its regular
weekend holiday The Legislature
was told that oysters they had been
served on an inspection junket had
been illegally dredged from the Po-

The much publicized oysters served

advocates of opening the Potomac
to hand-scrapi of oysters. said
the oysters they provided for the
boat trip had been Grcdged illegally
from the river.
All a Practical Joke.

changes in milk fat and solids con-
tents during the war emergency.
In the Senate, three local bills
were introduced. The upper house
hurried passage of 18 bills, all local
or legislative council measures.
Prison Labor Bill Fails.
A move to amend the prison labor
bill to permit certain convictS to
work only in hospitals during the
war failed in the Senate, but the
measure was changed to direct the
State to give preference to requests
from hospitals for prison labor.
One Senate measure adopted
without discussion provided that any
State employe 10 years and older
might be retained or reinstated in
service 'if in the opinion of his
department head he is capable of
performing the duties of his posi-
ton. >"
The bill, an emergency measure,
would be effective only for the dura-

Why Have CnapIains?

I'm this total war there are
many ways of being a patriot. "
So spoke Walter Winchell via
his radio program last week.
Chaplain Luther Fuller today
must be judged as a patriot
standing firmly against the in
1ux of fascist doctrines into
American democracy. Chaplain
Fuller (and all other Colored
Army chaplains) were enlisted
for the expressed purpose of i'm
proving the spiritual and moral
welfare of American troops &C
cording to the best traditions of
the United States ConStitu-
ton. He did his duty where
and whenever he saw the U. S.
Constitution being violated. For
this he deserves vote Of
thanks from the War Depart
ment and especially at this
time of reported sabotage by
many SO called white men who
are blessed with far more privi-
leges than the average colored
man enjoys. Chaplain Fuller is
patriot. He should be par
doned with apology. Either this
or we must put the question:
Why have Army chaplains at
all?
