Justice Arthur Lederle, who defined
the nature of the conspiracy statute

to be swayed as an individual "either
for or against the defendants be-
cause of the particular legislation
under which this action is brought. -
The court informed the jury its
only duty was to determine the suit
or innocence of the defendants. The
penalty, he pointed out, has been

cretion left to the court. If con-
victed, the seven women may face

House Group Is Told
OF Trouble in Findi1d
Head for GaIIinger
District Officials Say
Qualified Men Refuse
Job at Sc, 500 Bose Pay
BY DON S. WARREN.

Difficulties of finding a quail
fed superintendent for Gallinger
Municipal Hospital to replace DR..
Edgar A. Bocock, who resigned
after a Senate committee inves-
tigation of the hospital, were
outlined today to the House Dis
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee by District officials.
Chairman Coffee said District
officials reported they have been
unable to find a qualified man who
would take the job at the present
basic salary of $500 and that they
were proposing provision which
would permit them to pay more,
perhaps $4,000 a year.
Mr.. Coffee said testimony also
showed that, despite a national
search for registered nurses to fill
vacancies amounting to more than
IS at Gallinger, District officials were
having the very devil of a time. ="
He attributed part of this difficulty
to the salaries paid registered nurses
by the District saying they were
"ridiculously low under present cir
cumstances."
Ambulance Drivers Needed.
The House Appropriations Sub
committee also is considering other
requests from Galhnger, including
the employment of IA aambulance
drivers and attendants which would
permit two Health Department am
balances to be put into 24-hour serv-
ice as a part of the now centrally
controlled District Emergency Am
bulance Service.
This was established last fall after
attention was directed by The Star
to delays and lack of proper service.
