the war headquarters of the United
Nations.
More and more. people sll over
the world-friends and foe alike

1t takes the whole Washington

this world personality. but let's take
q look at the Presidents ofiicial
family, where he works and where
he lives.
Even to approach the White
House grounds, you must have
legitimate business there, and you
get in only with an official pass.
Sight-seers must stay across the
street, not like the old days when
yearly peak tide of l.103,545 visi-
tors flowed through the grounds and
White House showrooms.
Guards Polite, but Tough.
A hand-picked extra special detail

Hard Hit by
Nurse Shortage

ESQ Required for
Normal Setup

A shortage of about $50 graduate
nurses In District hospitals was re-
ported today after the United States
Public Health Service warned that
many hospitals through the coun-
try cannot maintain even normal
standards of service"
Twelve of the principal hospitals
In the District said they need a total
OF 900 nurses to meet normal needs
and that only about $50 are now
available. In addition, they said.
they are able to replace only about
three out OF every four nurses who
leave.
The only hospital in the District
where full staff of nurses was re-
ported was George Washington
Shortages in other hospitals were:

Use Nurses Aides.
Many hospitals said they were
using nurses aides and members of
the American Woman's Volunteer
Service as much as possible to make
up the deficiencies in graduate
nursing personnel. p
The Public Health Service warned
that hospitals in many communities
are at present unable to cope with
any widespread illness that might
spring up.
| There are now slightly more than
2oO,OOO nurses serving on the home
front. 1t was said. Because of the
constantly increasing number of
patients, an additional 100 600
nurses will be needed a year from
now, it was predicted.
Under the best conditions. the
Health Service said, only 65 600
nurses can be trained in that Pc
riod. S
Diseases Increasing.
| Meanwhile, the Health Service
said, war conditions have brought
alarming increases in industrial ac-
cidents and disease. Dysentery cases
curing the first seven months of
this year, 1t was reported, were
double the number treated during
4 the same period last year. This
increase was attributed to crowded
living conditions, relaxation of sani-
tary standards and the use of much
inexperienced personnel in restau.

parts of California, Texas. Okla

reported throughout the Nation this
year than during any year since
1884. The number of cases of
cerebrospinal fever for the first
seven months of l943 is greater
than for any whole year since 1914.
tuberculosis deaths have not in.
creased, but the health agency
warned that the shortage of nurses
may have detrimental effect on
efforts to control this disease.
Case-Finding Program RiddIed.
Our case finding program In
tuberculosis has been riddled," the
Public Health Service said, "and our.
social hygiene program, instead OF
being increased as a war necessity.
has been drastically curtailed."
The service said that reports have
been coming in from hospitals all
over the country warning that nurs-
ing shortages are getting dangerous
ly close to the point where serious
conditions may result unless the
trend is reversed.
