of Ohio said yesterday that in her
month-long survey of Is American
hospitals in Britain she had found
conditions very fine, with the
morale of both patients and stats
high now" but that she would lay
before the War Department what
she considered was a need for an
increase in medical personnel in the
European war theater.
The Ohio Representative said a
very serious problem had been
created by ''the influx of casualties
coming hard after a reduce
ton in medical personnel in pro-
portion to the size of other groups
in the Army
1T must be taken into considera-
tion,' Mrs. Bolton said, that at
these hospitals the medical outfits
get no personnel for general utility
work such as taking care of the
grounds and the upkeep of the

5000 men, whose isolated position
doomed them to eventual defeat.

shek.
Referring again to the reported
United States plan, Senator Bridges
said he objected to Secretary of
State Hull asserting that this Gov
ernment has no intention to set up
an organization in which these four
big powers will run the world"
IT this plan is necessary, let us
understand it and debate it for
whatever 1t is he added, but it is
an insult to our intelligence to tell
us that 1t is not plan under which
we and our three great allies will
dominate the world
Hill Rebukes Bridges.
After Senator Bridges completed
his speech, Senator Hill. Democrat,
OF Alabama, acting Democratic floor
leader, said the Republican appeared
to be pre- judging the conference.
1t is very evident" Senator Hill
said, that the Senator is disturbed
by rumors. He should reserve his
criticism until he sees what the con-
ference does"
Meanwhile. after a weekend holi-
day in New York, American, British
and Russian delegates to the confer
ence resumed work today on recon-
element of their three plans to set
up an organization to keep peace in
the postwar world.
The conference secretariat en-
ployed the week end in putting to-
gether. data to furnish a basis of
discussion as the sessions enter their
second week.
Last week was devoted almost en-
tirely to the presentation and ex-
planation of the three plans, none
of which has been made public
although the American proposal has
been summarized by President
Roosevelt. Now, the basic jobs OF
the conferees begin-the welding OF
the three plans into one on which
they can agree and recommend for
adoption by their governments.

flight from New York. He was to
be welcomed with military honors.
China is to enter negotiations
with the United States and Great
Britain at the conclusion of the
present conference, which is expect
ed to be about September Is.
Meanwhile, Secretary Hull said at
his press conference today that he
understood members of the three
delegations would attempt to give
the press in their daily communicates
more substance than in the past.
In reply to question as to
whether he had told John Foster
Dulles. adviser on foreign affairs to
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who con-
ferred with him last week of the
details of the American plan, Mr..
Hull said he talked to him as he
would to Senator. That provoked
a general laugh. 1t was assumed

There was no way of telling
whether this was another indica-
ton of hurried 1lth hour with
drawal from the rocket bomb coast
or merely the rushing in of sup
plies to stif1en delaying fight.
Whatever its purpose and what

The Socialists raised the issue OF
the Presidents addresses last week
seeking time on the claim that Mr.

ruling. holding that the Bremerton

Brownell Waits for Reversal.
Apparently with reference to this
charge, Republican National Chair
man Herbert Brownell, jr, said in
New York that before commenting
on the Army's new plan he thought
he would wait to see if the ruling
is reversed by any higherups."
A major effect of the latest de
cision appears to be definite limi
tation on the amount of time which
will be devoted to such program
on the Army's II short-wave sta

in part:
