Urge Voting
Rights For
Migrants

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. LThe Md.
& d. c. Industrial Union Council
this week informed War Manpower
Commissioner Paul v. McNutt that
a conservative estimate shows more
than a million war workers have
lost their right to vote through
changes In their residences. The
council urged McNutt to call con-
ference of state officials to outline
measures which would assure such
workers the right to vote.
The council recommended that
both labor and industry be repre-
sented at such a conference, and
told McNutt that "it would seem
entirely proper for your agency to
take the initiative" in calling it be
cause of the responsibility of your
agency for manpower and the regu-
latory controls you exercise on in
migration"
In letter to the Manpower Com
missioner, written by Council Sec
Treas. Sidney r. Katz, the council
said:
at would be ironical indeed IL
hundreds of thousands of civilian
American citizens find themselves
deprived of their right to vote in
federal elections precisely because
they have gone out of their way
to make the numerous sacrifices
which are attendant upon leaving
their homes to take employment
I'm congested war areas In order
to produce the weapons for the
fight OF democracy against fas-
cism."

Ralph w. o'Neill, CIO-backed
Democratic candidate, won this

clared victor by six votes immedi-
ately following the election Nov. 2,

 munication from the Naval au- thorities was read at the Wednes- day afternoon session; neither did any of the police executives. Lieut.. McEvoy kept it to himself, and never expected it would be- come public property.
 We doff our hats in admiration of this Waterbury-born repre- sentative of the police depart ment. We feel he must be of good heart. We have never met him, and wouldn't know him on the public street.
 But to us, he is of an unusual character, a shining example of a good and decent cop; fair and just fellow, who some day may be rewarded in another way for do- Ing something out of the ordi- nary, and thinking far in ad- vance of the average thoughts Of us in days like the present.
 He deserves a record of merit in the police history of the city.

PRIVATE NURSING
 SERVICE REDUCED
Emergency Action to Be Taken; More Volunteers
 Needed Here

Further steps may be taken to ease the critical nursing shortage here, it was indicated last night when the local Nursing Council for War Service voted to recommend abolition of private nursing service to patients who are not seriously i'll. All nurses may be required to take cases only through the registry in order that all working time may be devoted for persons actually re- quiring special care.
 Non- emergency cases will be in the care of student nurses under the plan. Unnecessary luxury" nursing has been widely deplored here since the nursing staffs began to diminish and it is believed the councils proposed action will rem edy the situation.
 Married nurses and others who are not active in their field will be asked by the council to volunteer for hourly service, on a paid basis, in their neighborhoods. it was an- nounced. Full-time nurses for the emergency period also are being sought by the council which re- gently mailed questionnaireS to 170 women who formerly served as nurses. About 27 have already eX- pressed willingness to Srve when needed.

 Refuses $50 Re1Uard
Unusual Act Deserves Record of Merit-OAicer McEvoy Declined Blood Money" for
 Capture of Young Sailor.
BY THE OUT EASTER

ID 4GAGI VOA NE10 AASAS
 That was a most commendable act on the part of Lieut.. Joseph P. McEvoy of the police depart ment, in refusing to accept the regular reward offered by the government for the return of Navy or Army member for over staying his leave of absence. The matter came before the Board of Police Commissioners the other day. Just what the board did officially we do not, of course, know, but we do know if we were identified with the commission we would cite Lieut.. McEvoy and commend him publicly for his thoughtfulness.
 Under the city charter the po- lied board has the power to al- low extra compensation and rewards to be accepted by a policeman. This has been the law for many years, but 1t is the first time, to our knowledge, that any police officer has ever acted as has Lieut.. McEvoy. We can recall numerous instances of po- licemen conveying young men to jail for failing to appear at their barracks in proper time, and claiming and being paid the usual fee of fifty dollars for their act. In some cities, 1t became racket among some cops to pick up some of these young men for the money that was in it.
 But not so with Lieut.. McEvoy; he would have nothing of that kind hitched to his official police card. True, the lieutenant picked up the boy, because he had over- stayed his leave of absence and as a police officer would have to re- turn him to the proper U. s. au- thorities. And this he did, paying carfare for himself and his charge in so doing.
 But when the reward was ter1- dered him, he spurned 1t.
