MEDICAL GROUP
TO ACT ON ROW

A joint session of conflicting fac
tons of the local medical profess
sion is scheduled for tonight at
8 o'clock in St. Paul. parish house,
9Th and Princess Streets, and it is
expected efforts will be made to
iron out difficulties relating to the
operation of James Walker Hos
pital.
Members of the board of mana
gers of the hospital, members of
the New Hanover County Medical
Society and nurses of District
Nine will be in attendance to dis
cuss their problems.
AS related in an editorial in
last Sundays Star-NeWs, some
weeks ago committees from the
board, the nurses and doctors gath
cred to thresh out their problems.
The nurses were asked to go back
on 12-hour duty, to furnish from
their membership twenty nurses
for general duty at a salary OF
$3.50 a month without maintenance
and that luxury" nursing be
abandoned for the duration. The
nurses yielded to a slight differ
ence in compens ation with the hos
pitfalls resident nursing staff and
their earlier request for a meal
at the hospital while on duty. They
also agreed that luxury nurs-
ing be abandoned.
Following this conference, diff
ierences arose between the nurses
and doctors as to who should de-
eide how long nurse might re-
main with a single patient. The
doctors have indicated, and the
hospital board agrees, that they
should have sole authority to de-
eide the matter because of their
intimate knowledge of the patients
condition.
The nurses maintain that the
matter should be decided by
committee on which they have a
representative of the nursing pro-
fession in addition to a member Of
the medical profession and hos
pital supervisor. They have indi-
Gated that handling the cases with
out representation of the nurses is
arbitrary and lacking in recogni-
ton due the nurses, and will result
ia depreciation of their services
and professional prestige.
Sundays editorial made it clear
that the above resume of the Sit
uation is the concensus and does
net necessarily represent the feel
ings of certain individuals among
any of the three groups.

yesterday.
1t. Hayes said that among the
men who had been prisoners OF
war over period OF several
months it was possible to observe
much better understanding,
whereas the German prisoners al
most universally upon first arrival
in this country take a very ar
rogant attitude. Despite some
change in their position they still
appear to be strongly in favor OF
the Nazi regime, he said.
This country knows from reports
furnished it by the International
Red Cross that Germany is treat
ing American prisoners as well as
we treat the Germans, the speaker
said. He pointed out that the Red
Cross makes regular inspections of
camps within Germany and makes
reports on conditions available to
Allied combatant countries.
The lieutenant said there are now
274 prisoners of war at the local
camp and that most of these are
now working on production of pulp
wood. Contra ctors for the labot
make arrangements through the
War Manpower Commission and
pay the prevailing wage, which
goes to the prisoners in the form
Of canteen checks-they receive no
cash. The men work eight hours
a day and their working conditions
are governed by the Geneva Con-
vention. The prisoners are
thoroughly familiar with these
rules and do not hesitate to quote
them if they feel there has been
an mira ction, Lieutenant Hayes
said.
The Army is permitted to force
all prisoners below the grade of
sergeant to work, the Lieutenant
said. The men see no newspapers.
and talk no politics with guards
or visitors, but are permitted to
listen to the radio.
Lieutenant Hayes expressed the
opinion that from present appear
ances the local camp will be per-
manent in nature. He expressed
p2reciation fo- cooperation which
local civilians and employers have
given to the Army authorities in
charge of the camp.
kiWanians Wilbur r. Dosher and
Harry M. Solomon were presented
as the only two charter members
OF the Kiwanis club present at yes
terday's meeting, which was the
twenty-fourth anniversary meeting
OF the club. Mr.. Solomon briefly
reminisced about the early activ.
tiles of the club.
Kiwanian Henry Heller, In cele.
bration of the birth of son, made
$50 contribution to the club with
the request that it be donated ir
the name of the club to some
worthy cause.
