Crash Probers Find
Fire Apparatus Was
Operated Properly
Speed Of Ladder Truck
In Which Fireman Died
Called Not Excessive

A Fire Department investigating
board reported yesterday that No.
l truck company hook and ladder
truck was being operated properly
when it was in collision July 27
at Sixth and E streets NV. with
transfer van.
The accident resulted In the death
Of Fireman Everett L. Owens and
the injury of seven other persons,
and led to the modification of the
wartime ban on sirens to permit
their use on fire apparatus when
responding to fire calls.
Superintendent of Machinery O.
E. Fearn and W. R. Lusby, consti-
tuting the investigation board,
found that the fire truck was max
ing a normal response to an alarm
of fire, that the speed of the ap-
paratus was not excessive, that the
locomotive bell warning signal was
being operated, that the truck had
been slowed down as it entered the
intersection, and that the fire truck
approached the intersection against
red traffic signal
The Investigators added:
Whether the driver of the Eagle
Transfer Co.'S truck was aware of
the approach of the fire truck, and
his reaction thereto, is not a matter
for determination by this board.
Your investigating board finds
that the Fire Department vehicle
was being operated in the custo-
mary manner, that there is no evi-
dence of improper operation by the
driver and that every effort was
made by the driver to prevent an
accident.
Accidents in fire departments oc-
cur periodically due to the emer-
gency response which is the func-
ton of fire department vehicles.
This accident resulted in far less
material damage than many that
have preceded it and would have
been accepted as a service hazard
had 1t not been accompanied by
! fire"

Dirksen Plans Action
On Cadet Traininq
For D. T.. in Fall
Steps to Be Suggested
To Meet Dilemma Caused
By Keech's Ruling

Representative Dirksen of Illinois,
ranking Republican member OF the
House District Committee, will "sug-
gest immediate steps" to make mill
tsry training compulsory in District
high schools when he returns to
Washington in the fall, he told The
Star today.
Reached at his home in Pekirl, H.,
Mr.. Dirksen said:
"On my return to Washington. I
shall confer with Corporation Coun-
sci Richmond B. Keech and the
District Commissioners regarding
the proposed compulsory military
training in District high schools.
Il will suggest immediate steps to
meet the dilemma caused by the
corporation counsel's ruling with
reference to the illegality of COM
pulsory military training under the
act of 1907"
The Board Of Education has been
considering compulsory military
training for high school boys for
some time. The corporation counsel
ruled last week, however. that the
board does not have authority to
make it compulsory.
In expressing publicly his interest
in the problem, Mr.. Dirksen has
joined with other members of the
House and Senate District Commit
tees and also the Board of Commits
sioners.
A new view of the problem was
raised last Saturday with publica-
ton of an opinion by Secretary Of
War Stimson that high school mill
tary training should not be allowed
to interfere with general exercise

Nurses 10 Be Placed
On Priority LIST for
Domestic Help
USES Aids in Plan to
Free Personnel and
Hospital Stoffs

Nurses tied to their homes for
lack of domestic help will be put
on priority list" for maids, it
was learned today.
K. Vernon Banta, director of the
USES, said an effort would be made
to recruit domestics as result of
an appeal by Mrs. Josephine Pres
colt. chairman of the District Nurs-
ing Council for War Services as
well as director of the Districts
Public Health Nursing, and DR..
Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant Dis
trict health officer.
DR.. Seckinger said between $50
and 300 graduate nurses had said
they would 60 into the hospitals
either part or full time If they had
some dependable person to take
care of their homes.
Mrs Prescott, he said, is checking
the list of nurses to see which ones
will be available. When the list of
those who will work if they can get
maids is completed, it will be turned
over to Mr.. Banta.
The District is interested. it was
explained, because of the nursing
shortage at Gallinger Hospital and
Glenn Dale Sanatorium, although
DR.. Seckinger said he understood all
the hospitals were short.
Although nurses aides have eased
the situation in some hospitals, he
said, they couldn't be attracted to
Glenn Dale because of transporta-
tion difficulties. Glenn Dale has 80
vacancies in its nursing staff. Gal
linger has so vacancies.
The nursing shortage at Glenn
Dale, DR.. Seckinger said, is felt moe
keenly on the night shift. This is
combined with a shortage of insti-
tuition attendants. The United
States Employment Service said it
had orders to recruit more than 300
workers for understaffed institutions
here.

United States. Qualifications for
the post had been raised in 1929 at

There were reports current in Fire
Department circles that the name
of Herbert A. Friede, superintendent
of the District fire alarm systems
and controller of communications in

Friede today denied fatty that he

so far as he knew his name had not
been proposed. Commissioners Ma
son and Kutz both said they had not
heard Mr.. Friede was a candidate.
In its communication to the Com
misSioners and the Senate and House
District Committees, the Firemen's
Association said, in part:
For the purpose of maintaining
and further raising morale of the

citizens of the District that an ex-

recommend the appointment of a
qualified member of the uniformed
force of the District Fire Depart
ment to this vitally important posi-
ton of fire marshal.
Oppose Outsider.
Further, the membership of the
Firemen's Association wishes TO
emphasize that they are strongly
opposed to the appointment of any
individual outside of the uniformed
force Of the District Fire Depart
ment to the position of fire mar
shall, if and when the vacancy
occurs.
This would not only create an
added liability and responsibility to
our present pension setup but also
will tend to lower the morale of
available applicants within our own
ranks. We wish to state we are
not concerned or interested in any
particular member of the uniformed
force for the position in question.
