Cooks, Maids Offered Nurses
To Return to Work Part Time

ANY graduate nurse who will &c
70 work part time in Washington
hospitals will be guaranteed a cook
housekeeper, maid or any other
domestic help she needs as an added
inducement, the United States EN-
ployment Service Office here an.
nounced today.
Pointing out that hospitals have
reached a crisis where wards may
have to be closed because of the
nursing shortage, the USES made
a special appeal to nurses working
IN Government departments anc
private industry.
The USES promised that the
nurses would be given preference
for domestic help before any one
else in the city until they get the
help they need to allow them tc
work part-time at the hospitals ir
addition to their regular work.
1t was explained that if the nurse,
would work four to six hours 9
night a few nights a week the full.
time hospital nurses would be giver
sopne relief and the patients woulc
get the care they need.
Evening star., 1944-04-18

This is the first time the USES
has made blanket promise to pro-
vide domestic help in the face of a
dwindling market of available cooks
and maids. ...
Graduate nurses can apply either
to the Nurses Registry or the USES
office at 1922 Fifteenth street NV.
The USES also made an appeal
for auto mechanics to work part
time, particularly those who have
left the garages here to take Gov
eminent jobs. If 100 auto mechan-
les will agree to work a four -to-six-
hour night shift, the USES said, the
garages would be able to remain
open at night long enough to meet
critical transportation needs
Five hundred part-time restau-
rant workers are needed immedi-
ately and 5000 part and full time
workers will be needed by summer.
The Civil Service Commission
wants an unlimited number" of
clerks, typists and stenographers for
part-time work and the Post Office
Department needs $50 men, women
and youths over 16 to work various
part-time shifts, the USES said.

for similar positions in Federal
prisons, Mr.. Mason reported he had
appealed to the Civil Service Com
mission to approve legislation to
raise District pay levels to the Fed
eral prison level.
Paul L. Kirby, assistant welfare
director, said the problem of low
pay and shortage of help ran
through most all of the agencies
and services, Speaking particularly
OF the industrial home schools, he
said they were placed in charge of
child cases after the parents,
schools, probation officers and all
others involved had failed to solve
the problem.
And yet" he said, I'VE expect an
attendant paid $500 a year to do
something nobody else along the line
has been able to do"
Commissioner Mason said at least
a half dozen" of the welfare insti-
tutions should be replaced but that
progress along this line had been
delayed by war conditions. The
Welfare Board is to be blamed, he
said, only for lack of planning.

Seeking u. S. Hospital Aid
GuIinger Unable to Cure for County
Contagious Disease Cases

a wing has been added to the Alex

DR.. Seckinger also revealed that
when plans were being drawn for
the three new 100-bed hospitals and
the addition to the Alexandria Hos
pital the health officers association
requested that careful consideration
be given to the care of contagious
disease cases.
Despite our recommendation" he
said, these were not provided"
Scarlet Fever Case Recalled.
He called the meeting yesterday
he said, because the situation again
became actue" when a physician in
nearby Maryland recently was forced
to bring 3-year-old girl, seriously
i'll with scarlet fever, into Gallingel
Hospital because no facilities were
available in nearby Maryland.
1--WE were criticized in some quar-
terS," DR.. Seckinger said, because
of red tape which the doctor had
to go through to get his patient in
This situation is bound to recur
from time to time, and I believed
it was time for the health Offices in
the counties to have some discussion
on the matter"
Rabies Control Discussed.
DR.. Seckinger said today that the
scarlet fever wards are filled up now
and some persons who live in the
city and who ought to be hospital
lied are being treated in theil
homes.
In addition to hospital needs, the
group discussed the need for a uni
fication of rabies control measures
and planned a conference on the
problem
1t was pointed out that Prince
Georges County enforces shoot
on-sight law, Arlington has compul-
sorry vaccination, Alexandria anc
Montgomery County do not enforce
the vaccination requirement, anc
that various other differences should
be ended to control rabies more

loading, but these were already

Pvt. Brooks opened the bomb bay
doors and we ducked under them
into the interior of the. plane. Eight
wall lights made the central part of
the ship bright as an operating the

tell, Great Falls, Mont, who joined
us. Tt takes three men to load in
cendiaries in clusters and Pvt
Brooks and his crewmates formed a
team loading those ships in turn.
They went to work wiring the
clumsy missiles together and fasten-
ing them to the shackles. Their
feet slipped in the mud. They kept
blowing on their hands, for it was
bitterly cold and you can't shackle
bombs into place and wear gloves
at the same time. They wore
leather jackets and caps with fleece
Innings. They looked sloppy and
tired-and extremely businesslike.
Changes Mean Much Work.
One by one, the bomb stations
were loaded. The upper levels of
stations were high overhead and to
reach them the men balanced on
the catwalks with their heavy and
deadly loads. Loading bomber,
according to Pvt. Brooks, who was
graduated in 1884 from Washington
Lee High School, in Arlington, is not
such a tough job in itself. The
worst job is last-minute change of
plans which may make it necessary
to unload a ship you have just
loaded and then to reload it with a
different type of bomb. It's not un-
usual for the armorers to work all
night changing bombs two or three
times as the air command changes
its mind about targets. 1t is easier
to change your mind than it is to
change bomb load
Pvt. Brooks worked with the
Secret Service as a Treasury guard
before the war. Unmarried, he lived
with his parents. In June, 1912, he
was drafted and came overseas IA
months later, joining this unit i'm
mediately on his arrivel in the Mid
die East. He was combat gunner
until January and took part in 10
missions.
At $3.50 pm. two and a half hours
after the job began, Pvt. Brooks and
his helpers had the Liberator loaded
for the next days mission. There
were two more planes to be loaded

Brooks, the armorer, is doing fol
them. He is another indispensable
member of a team which, day after
day, is carrying the air war to the
enemys heart. They regard his task
with reverence as one of the Air
Forces most thanklessly vital parts
Last night I went out with Pvt
Brooks to see what an aircraft
arInorer's job is like. We walked
across the field at sunset, picking
our way through scores of great air
ships to the Liberator of which he
has charge. While we sat on a
500-pound bomb waiting for the
ordnance men to bring us our load
he told me what he'd been doing
during the day.
Cleans Liberat0r's Guns.
Having spent all the night before
loading and standing guard, he
slept in the morning while his ship
was out on a mission. AS soon as 1t
arrived back at base he went to
work again. He helped the gun
ners clean eight of the Liberator' s
10 guns. The other two nose guns
which are manned by officers, he
cleaned himself. He repaired one
of the rear guns which had de-
veloped quirk during the flight
Then he loaded all the guns for
the next day. When he had fin
tshed it was supper time.
The load for last night was in
cendiaries in clusters. From the
armorer's point of view each type of
load has its own drawbacks and
compensations. For heavy bombs
you use a winch, and the heavier
they are, of course, the fewer you
have to load. Smaller bombs are
loaded by hand, a grueling job.
Relatively light augmentation
bombs which come in strings are the
armorer's pet hate, sometimes actu-
ally goading them to tears.

Chest Officers Report
On Current Budget;
Pledge Continued Aid
Annual Meeting Is Told
Appeal for Next Year
Viii Ask Fund Increase

The Community Chest of WASH
ington pledged continued service to
the public through its 81 member
agencies yesterday as report on Its
$2,117,000 budget during 1943 was
submitted at the annual meeting in
Epiphany Church.
Though the budget for 1914 will
run somewhat larger, it will still
fall about $3.50, 900 short of the sum
estimated by the agencies as neces-
sary for the most advantageous
operation this year, Herbert L.
Willett, executive director, said. He
cited the smaller 1887 budget of
81 100000 as proof of the increased
demand made upon chest agencies
by rapid development of the city
since then.
More than $1,800,000 was paid to
agencies by the chest last year, with
about $685. 900 retained in chest head
quarters for administrative ex-
pense. About $266,000 was put aside
for contingency fund.
Frank R. Jelleff, president of the
chest, emphasized the strict super
vision made of all chest expendi-
lures by the Budget Committee, as
guarantee to contributors that their
money is well spent. He cited per-
sonnel shortages as the chief diff
ficulty of the chest during the past
and the current year. Mr.. Jelleff
thanked Coleman Jennings, chair
man of the chest drive last year, for
consenting to serve again next fall.
The economy and spiritual har-
mony that cooperation under the
chest has brought to all the member
agencies was stressed by the Very
Rev. Msgr. Lawrence Shehan, rector
Of st. Patrick's Church and director
of Catholic Charities. He recalled
the days when charity drives COM
peted with each other and costly
duplication of services cut down eff
ficiency. He praised the leaders of
the chest for permitting member
agencies, particularly religious ones,
to pursue their own policies with
out due interference"

elected to the board of the chest.
