NAMES OF NURSES
 BEING SOLICITED
Army in Hand of 10000 Medical Aides; State
 WING Director Notified

State Manpower Director William J. Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Colpmission today said that he had received memorandum from Paul V. McNutt, Chairman of the War Mnnpower Commission who said that because of critical shortage of nurses in the United States Army the War Manpower Commission Procurement and Assignment Serv- ice has asked all state procurement committees for additional names of nurses to be available to the Amer ican Red Gross for recruitment pur- poses.
 Mir. Fitzgerald said that he had been informed that 10000 nurses must be recruited for the Army immediately in order to care ade- quately for wounded and sick sol- diers overseas and at home. MT. Fitzgerald said that committees have been asked to cooperate with nursing councils for war service in meetings of nurses in many of the country's larger cities. At this time the seriousness of the Army,S nurS- ing need will be explained. The State Director said that he had been informed by Major General Norman T. Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army that the Arny's need for more nurses has been height ened by the activation during Nov ember of hospitals it had not been expected to organize before next March. This is all due, MT. Fitz- gerald said, to the ever increasing activity on all due, MT. Fitzgerald said, to the ever increasing activity on all war fronts. The Navy, he said, will continue to need about 800 nurses a month for several months more. Our nurses who have already responded to needs of the services are doing splendid job but many more than are at present enrolled are needed.
 The State Director of the War Manpower Commission pointed out that nurses who enter the services are commissioned and at the end of the service will enjoy all rights extended to the armed forces under the c. I. Bill of Rights.

Agencies Must Unite On Veterans Program
Work of State Unemployment Commission Explained to WaIIingford ROtarians; Cooperation Emphasized

No one individual or no one agency can handle the postwar problem of adjustment and reem- ployment of veterans and displaced war workers in any community, but rather, the combined efforts of all agencies and the community as a whole will be necessary if the prob- lem is to be anywhere near adequately met, Major Robert B. Cate, field representative of the Connecticut Unemployment Com mission told members of the Wal lingford Rotary Club today.
 Pointing out that the Connecticut Unemployment Commission created by Governor Baldwin more than 8 year ago is not an operating agency itself, but is concerned with CO., ordinating existing operating agen- cieS which will be able to assist in the adjustment and reemploy- ment of veterans and displaced war workers, Major Cate stated that splendid cooperation is being shown by all federal and state agen- cies in tackling this problem jointly ct both the state and local levels.
 He stated that each of the fed eral agencies, including the Vet erans Administration, U. S. En- ployment Service of the War Man. power Commission and Selective Service, are represented on the state commission and are each lending their full support to the Connecticut idea of facing this problem in full cooperation with each other and with the various state and local agencies concerned with the problem.
 Major Cate related numerous instances of difficult adjustment problems which have come to his personal attention around the state to illustrate his point that only through the coordinated use of all available resources and facilities can any community hope to meas ure up to its responsibilities in seeing that veterans and displaced war workers have every opportunity to get successfully established in civilian life after they are dis charged from the armed forces.
 He emphasized the point that
