By Summer Forecast
By Welfare Official
BY the Associated Press,

Charles P. Taft expressed a
conviction today that selective
service is going to get all the
3-A's by the middle of this
summer"
Mr.. Taft, son of the late
President Taft and brother of
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, is assistant director of the
Office of Defense Health and
Welfare Services. He made the
statement about inducing all
the draft-age men with de-
pendents in testimony, disclosed
today, asking a S2,973,000 fund
to help the States care for chill
dren of working mothers. The
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee has approved the grant.
Mr. Taft said that Il am
convinced from what the selec-
tive service people told me, that
they are going to get all the
JAS by the middle OF this
summer"
The ga classification is one
given men with dependents.
Mr.. Taft had returned from
an inspection of industrial dis
tricts over the Nation, He testi-
fed there was a pressing need
for nursery schools and, for
school age children, attention
before and after school hours.
LAS soon as you start draft
ing the 3-A's you will have an
increased number of employed
women, who have husbands in
the Army. Many of them won't
be able to live on the same
standard when they get their
allowances, and they will go to
work"

Labor SecretarySa
Legislation Ism 'tCure
For Absenteeism
May Result in Delay of
Practical Solution, She
Tells House Committee
By the Associated Press

Secretary of Labor Perkins told
the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee today that the causes and
nature of absenteeism are such
that legislation is almost certain
not to be the real corrective and
may result in delaying practical
solution by industry and labor"
She appeared before the commit
tee as it neared the end of its public
hearings on an anti-absenteeism
measure designed to force draft of
able-bodied men who take unWar-
ranted holidays from their work in
war industries.
The bill which your committee is
considering would not, I fear, solve
the problem either of absenteeism or
of production. The problem
before us is to control and dis
courage absenteeism without having
to discharge men as a disciplinary
measure in time of labor shortage"
she maintained.
Fine Is Suggested.
She suggested to the Naval Al
fairs Committee that deliberate
and repetitive shirkers could be
fined for their absences and added,
IF they are l8-45 and male, I take
it the draft board will consider their
cases.
Representative Johnson, Demo-
crat, of Texas. author of the bill
took her through its provisions step
by step.
In response to direct questions, she
said that she had no objection to
employers keeping records of absent
employees, and that, ''in fact, the de-
partment recommends it." She said
she would not oppose passing on the
record to the War Manpower Com
mission, and that, further, she would
not object to making the names
available to draft boards.
Well" said Mr.. Johnson, that's
all there is to this bill. Just what
do you object to in it
Il don't object to it." she said.
But l don't think that it will have
any particular effect upon curing

Real Service in Hearing.
In advising against legislation, she
added, however that the work of
this committee in focusing attention
on the necessity OF correcting and
preventing absenteeism in the war
plants of the country has done a
real service"
In a statement prepared for the
committee, the Secretary said that
there is no single cause or cure for
absenteeism. The causes vary widely
from plant to plant, as is indicated
by absentee rates ranging from 2
per cent and per cent up to 20 per
cent and more"
"As I see it," she said "the most
effective approach on the part of the
Government to the problem of alb
SenteelSm is to carry directly to the
thousands of plants now operating on
war contracts information about the
methods that have been developed
and proved practicable in our lead

is passed. Workers who are absent

Commissioners Get
Proposals 10 Speed
Ambulance Service
Police Report Confirms
Delays; Alternative
Steps Suggested

A series of recommendation
to prevent long and unnecessary
delays in providing ambulance
service for injured persons - to
which The Star has been direct
ing attention-were laid before
the Board of Commissioners to-
day in report of Police In
spector Arthur E. Miller, in
which he confirmed stories of
delays, misunderstanding and
"derelictions."
Inspector Miller recommended
provision of sufficient number"
of Ambulances for the Fire and
Police Departments to cover the
clty's needs, and requirements for
centralization of emergency calls.
But fearing purchase of an adequate
number of additional city am
balances might be impossible be-
cause of cost or priorities, he sug-
gested the following alternatives:
That the Commissioners or the
District Health Department make a
more strict contract with hospitals
TO insure adequate, prompt and
efficient ambulance service"
Would Speed Handling.
That a definite system be estab-
Ished at Emergency and Casualty
Hospitals whereby the person &C
cepting such calls always will know
Immediately whether an ambulance
is available and, if so, that the call
be treated most expeditiously."
mat an agreement be worked out
between the Health Department, the
hospital superintendents, the Dis
trlct coroner and the Police De-
partment whereby some doctor al
ways will be available to respond to
pronounce deaths. instead of using
the doctor on the ambulance.
Fail to Comment.
That a Health Department physi-
clan visit INDECENT persons not seri-
ously Ill instead of sending ambu-
lances;
And that two-way radio sets be
installed in all public ambulances.
The Commissioners released the
report without comment. Commits
sioner Guy Mason, in response to
inquiries from The Star, already
has arranged for a conference to be
held soon, to get advice from police
and fire officials, the District COM
munlcation system and from repre-
sentatives of the United States pub
lie Health Service, District Health
Department., District Medical So
clety and the Health Security
Agency.
Outlines System.
In recommending a plan for real
Capitalization of ambulance calls
Inspector Miller suggested that all
persons calling for public ambulance
service by phone be connected with
an employe of the Police Central
Bureau, not on duty at the switch
board, to determine if an ambulance
Is really needed. If need is de-
termlned this person would be held
responsible for the transmission of
all calls to insure prompt ambulance
service. The exact time and names
OF persons receiving the message
would be recorded on all occasions.
Inspector Millers lengthy report
diScloses many instances in which
investigation has showed discrep-
ancles as to the times calls were
made or received. After discussing
two cases outlined in detail by The
Star he said:
There probably are numerous
cases similar to those I have related
