UNIT

The patients in this unit are not
receiving graduate nurse service "a
hours per day. The graduate nurses,
as we'll as other employees giving
bedside care to patients in the tu-
berculosiS unit, are also caring for
patients in the main hospital.
1t is recommended that a fluoro-
scope be purchased for this unit;
that graduate nurses be employed
to give nursing care to patients in
this unit "a hours per day; and that
they not care for other types of
patients. 1t is also recommended
that as soon as possible additional
tuberculosis beds be acquired.
LABORATORY SERVICE
1t is not possible at the present
time to do simple laboratory pro-
cedures such as blood counts or uri-
nalyses at the hospital. 1t is rec
commended that a small laboratory
be established at the hospital.
MEDICAL SERVICE
At the present time the only reg
ularly employed physician attend
ing this hospital is DR.. Parker. DR.,
E. w. Hayes, Consultant in Tuber-
culosis, from Los Angeles, visits
this institution once every two to
three months. There is no resident
physician employed. Only in the
most acute emergency cases does
DR.. Parker come to the hospital
out of hours.
The President of the County
Medical Society, DR.. Trueman E.
Bartholomew, who has been preSi-
dent for the past year, indicated
that during his term of office no
request has ever been placed be-
fore the County Medical Society for
additional medical assistance from
the physicians of Imperial County.
1t was his impression that at least
six or seven doctors, including him
self, would be willing to spend some
time each week at the County Hos
pital.

WASHINGTON, March (UP)-

R), Connecticut, conceding that
congress is in mo mood" to pass a
national service bill, Saturday ad-
vocated putting 4-Fis and men over
the draft age into uniform as a
special labor corps to meet man
power emergencies.
Introducing a bill to that effect,
Mrs Luce, member CT the house
military affairs committee, criticised
what she called congress negative"
action regarding manpower.
"All congress has done so far"
she said, is to say what cannot
be done. What we need is to make
beginning. We do not knew
whether we have three miles to go,
or 80 miles, but we at least should
take the first STEP"

News of Pvt. Mabrys death came
Saturday morning to his parents

Imperial Valley press., 1944-03-05

Here is Mrs. Luce's first STEP"
as embodied in her bill:
4-Fs-she says they are begging
for a chance to wear uniform
and non-fathers aged 38 to 45
would be inducted into the army
and placed in a special corps which,
like firemen, would be sent to
trouble spots in the logging, agri-
cultural, canning. and other war
industries where serious labor
shortages have developed.
The bill provides that not less
than $4,000 and not more than 200.-
900 men be drafted for this purpose
They would draw army pay and
wear uniforms, but would be used
for the specific purpose OF aiding
on the war-industry front. The
compensation TO be paid by the em-
ployers to the government would be
worked out by the army.

Turkey Accuses
Allies With
Breaking Faith

ANKARA, March 3 Delayed)
(UP) Authoritative Turkish sources
said Saturday that Turkey asked
the Allies at the Cairo conference
for 500 tanks and 300 planes as the
sole condition of her entry into the
war, and that failure to deliver
them is the only reason the Turks
are not now fighting.
Turkey has maintained a con-
sistent policy throughout the war,
and her attitude remains unchang-
ed, though she has been subjected
to considerable unofficial pressure,
responsible quarters reported.
NOT IMPOSSIBLE
They said the Turks are con-
vinced that the present deadlock
over the British delivery of war
materials to Turkey is surmount-
able.
The non-delivery CT the requested
tanks and planes is the immediate
cause of the deadlock, informants
said, adding that Turkey considered
such a price small for throwing her
lot with the Allies.
The request was made at the
Cairo conference among President
Ismet Inonu, Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill and President RCose-
welt, the authoritative sources re-
ported.
MADE 1T PLAIN
At that time Turkey was said to
have informed Britain that she
would enter the war actively when
the deliveries of the 500 tanks and
300 planes were made, regardless OF
other requests for materials which
if delay were unavoidable, could be
delivered after the war.
If Turkey entered the war at all
infcrmants said, she wants to dC
so of an offensive-not defensive
basis.
They added that British in
sistence on Turkish bases from
which the Royal Air Force coulo
operate was tantamount to offering
Turkey en- unconditional condi-
ton" which Turkey feels should not
be the attitude of an ally.

LONDON, March a. (UP)
Flying Fortresses ranged
over hundreds of square
miles of Germany Saturday,
dropping b m b s through
heavy clouds on numerous
targets, and a Nazi broad
cast said a small number"
of American planes bombed
Berlin.
If the enemy report of American
bombs crashing on Berlin is borne
out, it will mean that the United
States air force has carried ous
its first bombing of the German
capital during the war.
U. S. Army headquarters die not

light raiders Immediately.
Crewmen of the forces returning
early said they flew five miles high
over solid cloud banks. The 60 be-
low zero temperatures caused nu-
merous cases of frostbite and Sc
we're icing conditions.
The airmen believed the CLOUDS
and icing held the German fight
ers below the overcast.
The fortresses, however, had to
battle heavy antiaircraft fire, which
laid a black carpet atop the billow-
ing white clouds.
Twin-engined British Mosquitoes
hit Berlin Friday night only a few
hours after Lightning fighters of
the 9th air force made the first
American flight over the bomb
battered Nazi capital since the
start of the war
All Mosquitoes returned safely
from Berlin and from undisclosed
objectives in western Germany. The
American Lightning pilots reported
they flew around the city limits of
the German capital Friday with
out seeing a single enemy fighter
or encountering single burst OF
anti-aircraft fire.

WASHINGTON, March A.
(UP)-Naval experts here
doubted Saturday that any
effort would be made to transfer
any portion of the surrendered Ital-
ian fleet to the Russians during the
war.
President Roosevelt revealed that
plans are being made to assign
about one third of the Italian fleet,
or the equivalent in other ships, 10
the Russian navy.
The feeling among naval experts
is that the Russians would be un-
able to make any use of the Itai-
ian warships curing the present
conflict, especially since the Baltic
and Black sea areas in which the
Red navy now is operating are i'm
possible to enter due to German
and Turkish control of the ap-
proaches.

WARNING ON DOGS
 QUESTIONED TODAY
Warden Without Authority to Issue Order; Mayors
 Powers Outlined

Residents today questioned the au : thority of spokesmen for the local dog warden's office who have ruled that all dogs, licensed or otherwise, must be leashed at all times by own CTS when off the latter's property or such dogs shall be taken to the city pound and if not claimed with in five days be disposed of.
 The order apparently was directed without consultation to city ordi- nances or statutes pertaining to dogs on city streets. According to the re- cenly revised city ordinances, such a directive can be issued only by au- thority of the Mayor who in turn must substantiate his powers by having the City Sheriff publish mo- tice in two daily newspapers of the city an attested copy of such order.
 When queried today City Sheriff Clayton Briotti stated that as yet he had received no such request. Mayor Monagan could not be con- tacted.
 The ordnance pertaining to dogs was adopted April 1897 and states in part that the Mayor may request the muzzling of dogs-or any other restraint as in his judgment public safety requires. It is presumed the word restraint" applies to leaShing.
 Resident dog-owners who consult ed The Democrat today stated they did not object to leashing the dogs if the situation warranted it, but felt such a ruling should become mandatory only upon directive of the proper authorities, to make cer- tain of its full legality.
