war a lot of mothers worked. They
had to help feed their families.

NEEDED IN PEACETIME
It's up to US to see that our
wartime child care programs are
continued and expanded when
peace Is reestablished.
During the war we have seen
vividly in many communities how
utterly inadequate a program is
which provides facilities only for
children Of employed mothers.
There's the story Of the small boy
in New Haven who stood with
his nose to the window of a child
care center and said: Gee, I wish
my mother worked"
The Federal Works Agency has
recognized the need for q gen.
eral children and youth recrea-

areas, and has approved close to
100 such projects. ANY child In
the community Is eligible to take
part In the activities Of the rec
reatl0n centers established under
that program.
But the community must prove
an increase in employment of wom-
en- or an influx of women into the
area in order to be eligible. Many
communities which need such cen.
ters badly, have needed them for
years. The war has just intensi.
fed the problem.

Committees were created In many
parts OF the country. The army
was prepared to give active assis-
tance. When the Russians achieved
their spectacular successes in their
current offensive, we met with the
King and decided to carry through
the coup d'etat on August 26. when
Marshal Antonescu was expected
at the palace.
"But Marshal Antonescu came on
August q. The King, although
caught unawares and knowing that
the troops called into the city for
August rs had not yet arrived, de-
manded that Antonescu conclude
an armistice and resign.
Antonescu refused and the King
thereupon gave orders for the ar
rest of Antonescu, the prime min

most Of the war nurseries have
been established the children Of
nonw0rking mothers need faciIl-
ties too. They have no suitable
and safe place to play while
mama does her work. And house
work Is work.
In England, where the war
brought sharper care problems
than here, the government rapidly
expanded the nursery school pro-
gram to meet the need Of working
mothers. They are convinced,
through their experience, that the
program should continue and bs
extended to cover all children.
The new Education Act-already
adopted by Parliament and waiting
only for victory to get underway
provides for complete system OF
nursery schools in the public
schools.
They won't be compulsory. OF
course, up to the age Of Ave, but
they viii be available ~ rapidly
rs possible In every public school.
They will be open all day for
children Of working mothers and
for any part OF the day she likes
to nonworking mothers. They
will be started first In slum
areas, since the greatest need is
there. incidentally, all British
school children, will get hot
lunches. That's part Of the na-
tiOaal health program.
or course we can't follow the
British pattern In detail. Our ma
tional government does not run
schools. But we can start working
now in our localities and In our
states for the kind Of program and
we need for our children

ESQ TubercuIur Putients
May Be Forced to Leove
Unless Aides Are Found
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

Unless the District government
can obtain more doctors, nurses
and ward attendants immediate
ly for Glenn Dale Sanitorium, it
may become necessary to close
one ward, and send almost 25C
tuberculosis patients home, Com
missioner Guy Mason disclosed
today.
Assurances have been received
from DR.. Paul M. Dickens, chair
man of doctors committee of the
War Manpower Commission, that
an effort will be made to obtain
doctors and several employees of the
District personnel division will be
sent to the VINO this afternoon tc
seek laborers. Efforts to secure
conscientious objectors have failed
Citing the critical shortage OF
personnel at his institution, DR.. D
l.. Finucane, superintendent OF
Glenn Dale, has pointed out tc
Health Officer George C. Ruhland
that he has 608 bed patients, and
that out of an authorized staff of Il
full time doctors, he has only six
doctors, including the superintend-
ent and assistant superintendent.
Need 35 Nurses.
The superintendent also called
attention to the fact that out of ar
authorized 86 nurses, 35 positions
are vacant, and that there are 2(
vacancies among the 80 author
lied ward attendants. Similarly, only
three out of an authorized five en-
gineers are available to the insti-
tuition, and only one fireman out OF
an authorized four is on duty.
Commissioner Mason promised
that the Commissioners will dc
everything humanity possible to pre-
vent the closing of one of the units,
but unless immediate help can be
obtained it will be necessary to do so
Mr. Mason said that it may be
necessary to ask Congress at once
to increase the pay of nurses and to
obtain authorization to purchase q
bus to operate between the institu-
ton and the District, since the only
interstate bus line at present runs
three-quarters of a mile from Glenn
Dale, and the schedule is incon-
Venient for the employees.
Pay Increases Urged.
DR.. Finucane has advised author
tiles that in his opinion the salaries
at Glenn Dale must be greater than
at other District hospitals and inSti-
tutions because of transportation
difficulties, and the hesitancy of per-
sons to work at tubercular inStitu-
ton. He recommended that the pay
be 5000 year, over and above any
other additional compensation al
loved by congressional acts" The
additional cost would be $4,000 a
year.
