Answer to Acute Paper Lack
Lies in Homes, Survey Shows
Third Of Newsprint Received in District
Not SoIvoged Now; School Children Aid

The answer to the problem OF how
to meet the present critical shortage
Of scrap paper apparently lies with
the individual householder. judging
by survey of the situation in WASH
ington.
About 10000, 900 pounds OF news
print month are received in WASH
lngton, while, according to the Dis
trict Salvage Committee. only about
5000, 900 pounds are now being cur
rently salvaged.
Inquiry disclosed that the waste
paper in the various government
departments and commissions is now
being salvaged through contract with
various wholesalers who collect the
paper, baled or otherwise, place it on
a sorting belt and eliminate all nom
paper material, classifying the re-
mainder in the various types of
waste paper There is little or no
loss in the Government departments
Janitors Salvage Paper.
1t was found that most of the large
apartment houses also salvage their
paper the janitors usually sorting
the paper and selling it to various

Such Wastepaper as gets into the
District trash collection is burned
at the incinerators because the Dis
trict government lacks the man.
power and the facilities for sorting.
However, William A. Xanten. super

either with grease. garbage or in
other manners and is therefore of
no use.
That leaves it up to the individual
home to provide the added scrap
now required.
The Evening Star-P-TA Salvage
for Victory program. which is now
opening its second week since the
renewal OF the drive. is planned with
the hope of getting large part of
the 1000 900 pounds of newspapers
and magazines, apparently not now
being salvaged to moving on its way
to the mills. which are operating
almost on a hand-to-mouth basis.

A new investigation of conditions
at Gallinger Hospital will be under
taken this week by the Public Health
Committee Of the Federation of Citi-
zenS Association, it was announced
today by DR.. Charles B. Campbell,
chairman of the committee.
Unlike the recent senatorial in

civic groups study will be confined
to the facilities of the hospital, in
Guiding materials and buildings.
We're not going into the per-
sonnet he explained. I'VE didn't

dismissal of Commissioner Guy
Mason, Dr. George C. Rutland. Dis
trict health officer; Dr. Edgar A.
Bocock, superintendent of Gallinger;
DR.. Charles P. Cake, tuberculosis
specialist, and DR.. Joseph Gilbert,
chief psychiatrist. The congressional

signed by large number of tuber-
culoSis patients, asking the Senate
committee to investigate conditions
in the tuberculosis ward.
DR.. Campbell said today he believed
tuberculosis cases should not be kept
at Gallinger.
These cases." he said. should be
taken to Glenn Dale Sanitorium. I'm
going to insist on this. I've worked
at the hospital and 1 know what it's
like. These patients need specialized
care, and Glenn Dale is better fitted
to give it to them"
Next Meeting on November 6.
DR.. Campbell said his committee
would be ready to report its findings
to the next regular meeting of the
Federation on November s. He said
ne expected the report to show how
conditions at the hospital can be
improved.

DR.. Lyman Kebler and DR.. Richard
T. Sullivan. DR.. Campbell said he
believed he would be able to get his
data together in time to begin the

Suddenly orders came. Pat
had to go. Kathie was alone.
Kathie had never been so
frightened before. She feared
her inexperience would en-
danger the life of her child.
Her search for a private nurse
was hopeless. Then she heard
OF another kind Of nurse who
was paying regular visits to
two families in the neighbor-
hood.
Nurse Celeste Deway came
as soon AS Kathie called. She
took Kathie's blood pressure.
She told her to eat more wheat
bread and string beans. She
made Kathie take walks in
stead of moping around the
apartment.
When Kathie brought her
daughter Dot home from the
hospital, Nurse Deway was
waiting for them at the apart
ment. She taught Kathie to
bathe Dot and rub her with
Oil. She joked Kathie out of
holding her breath every time
she picked Dot up.
Dot was two weeks old be-

Commissioners
Wafer Report
Expect to Act Soon
To Garry Out Changes
In Personnel, Policy

The Commissioners today ap-
proved in full the recommendation
of the Keech committee which rec
commended reorganization and other
changes in the personnel and poll
cies Of the District water registrars
office.
They announced orders would be
issued as soon as practicable tc
carry out the suggestions.
Copies of the report of the COM
mittee, which was headed by Cor
poration Council Richmond B.
Keech, are being sent to the Senate
and House District Committees and
the District Appropriations sub
committees.
Would Transfer Registrar.
One of the orders to be issued is
for the transfer of the registrars
Office from the supervision of Water
Department officials to the direct
control of the Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, who is Col. Joseph D.
Arthur, jr
Another order will be for the Dis
trict budget and personnel officer,
Walter L. Fowler, to draft and send
to the Civil Service Commission pro-
posals for the upgrading of the
salaries of water meter readers and
other employees of the Office.
The Keech committee found there
was IAN appalling" differential in
the pay of District water meter
readers and those of the gas and
electric companies.
Funds Already Provided.
Congress already has provided
funds for a new position of water
registrar to be paid $4,000 a year
How soon the Commissioners will fill
this position was not indicated today.
The keech group had presented
numerous reasons why it might be
desirable to make the owner Of
premises as we'll as the tenant
responsible for the payment of water
bills, but suggested decision be de-
layed until after the Office had been
placed on an efficient basis. It sug-
gested the need for such legisla ton
might be substantially dissipated by
an efficient performance and cor

Whitehurst Explains
Surprise Raid A|erts
Are Called by Army
Says District Officials
Are Not Notified
In Advance

District Civilian Defense Director
H. c. Whitehurst today issued a
formal statement explaining that
orders for surprise air-raid drills
come from military authorities and
that District Civilian Defense au-
thOrities are not notified in advance.
He said:
Several months ago the Military
District Of Washington notified us
that thereafter all future tests
would come unannounced as such
times as ordered by the lst Fighter
Command.
Since the military authorities are
charged with the responsibility for
the protection of the city, it is up
to those of us in Civilian Defense
to render a full measure of Cooper
alton, and I do not feel that it is
within our province to question the
Judgment of the military during
these times"
He also said the Civilian Defense
Department does not now offer anv
suggestions to military authorities
as to the time and duration of
alerts.
I'VE feel that this whole question
has now reached the stage where
the Army, not civilians. should de-
eide just how often and how long
the tests should be and whether
they should be of a surprise nature, !"
he said.
Capt. Whitehurst S statement was
made after Harry S. Wender, presi-
dent Of the District Federation of
Citizens Associations, asked that
organizations fire and police pro-
lection committee to make an in
ve5tigation of the merits of surprise
tests with a view toward stopping
them. Mr.. Wender said he cues
toned the wisdom of surprise tests
and that all practice drills should
be announced in advance so the
public would know it was the real
thing If an unscheduled AFRAID
signal was sounded.

That is what faced Kathie

got back to the apartment
early and had dinner ready
when Kathie came home from
work. On ff-duty Sundays he
loved to take her fishing up
the river.
Then Kathie told him the
baby was coming. Pat tried
to find a nurse Immediately.
He wanted some one to advise
his girl wife as the months
went by. Pat saved enough to
pay a nurse wages but he soon
realized money meant moth

nurses had been comman-

armed services. The few pri-
