By Gretchen Smith.

Strong arguments fayoring pas
sage Of congressional legislation en-
powering the War Labor Board to
decide In all cases OF industrial
strikes and lockouts until after the
war were presented by Senator
Wayne Morris Of Oregon yesterday
before the League OF Republican
Women.
Speaking extemporaneously at q
meeting Of the league at the Statler
Hotel, the Senator, formerly .
member Of the War Labor Board,
who wrote the decisions in the first
Montgomery Ward controversy, de-
clared that no strikes or lockouts
should be tolerated and that de-
cisions of the War Labor Board
should be backed by the power Of
congressional legislation.
There should be no discrimination
between industries that directly or
indirectly affect the war effort" the
speaker declared, and no strikes or
lockout policies should be tolerated
under any conditions for the dura-
ton.
ANY strike in any part of the
country is bound to affect the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war in
that area" he emphasized. I'VE can
not function successfully If we let
any industrial leader or labor leader
get away with disagreements."
The decision Of the War Labor
Board should stand until properly
qualified court rules to the con-
trary, he asserted.
The speaker charged Congress

By the Way
BETH BLAINE.

Pediatricians all agree that
one of the most important factors
in the successful convalescence
OF children is a proper and ade-
quate diet. Surely you agree.
That ought to be easy. Every hos
pital has trained dietitians and in
the children's hospitals they are
specially trained in proper child
diets.
Well, dear reader. there's good
deal more to it than that. First
of all, i'll children don't want to
eat, even if the diet is properly
prepared and temptingly ar
ranged. Neither, say the experts,
do convalescent children. 1t
takes good deal of wheeling
on the part of the nurse to get
these children to eat. In today's
crowded hospitals, understaf1ed,
there just are not enough nurses
to do it. That's one of the reasons
why the Children's Hospital here
and also the Episcopal Eye, Ear
and Throat Hospital have ap-
pealed to the D. c. Chapter of
Red Gross to send them more die
titians' aides.
Miss Mary Dees Lombard, who
Is therapeutic dietitian at Chill
uren's Hospital, trained the first
class of Red Cross dietitians'
aides in Washington. That was
when she was at Emergency Hos
pital. She will train the new class
which will begin the early part of
this month and for which there is
a campaign now on to get recruits.
She feels very strongly, as does
Miss Matte Gibson, superintend-
ent of Childrens Hospital, that
the aides are tremendously valu-
able in the hospitals, not only in
preparing trays and helping feed
the little patients, but in keeping
the professional dietitians in
formed as to the likes and dislikes
of the patients and thus avoiding
food waste at a time when con-
servation of food is more impor-
tant than it has ever been.
In addition to working in the
hospital kitchens, the dietitians'
aides work in the diabetic clinic,
in the polio clinic and in the we'll
baby clinic. Many of them are
mothers of small children who
feel that not only are they help
ing the war effort by giving their
spare time, but they are learning
to be better mothers through
their Red Cross training and hos
pital experience. If you have some
spare time-and EVERY ONE has
SOME, really call Republic $500,
extension $50, and enroll today!
Be q dietitians' aide!

Indian Medicine
'Handicaps ndia,
Democrats Told
By Catherine r. Ha,nbley

India will rival any nation in the
world when the Indians adopt uni
versal care of their sick, create q
national language and do away
with the caste system, Mrs. George
Beck. a pioneer in the prevention
and treatment of tuberculosis in
India and long resident Of that
country, declared yesterday.
Addressing the Woman's National
Democratic Club, of which she is q
member, at the flrst OF series Of
Women and the Postwar World"
programs. Mrs. Beck praised the
unexpected progress which has been
made along these lines.
: She told how in 1922 the Maha-
rani OF Boroda insisted on proper
sanitary facilities which lowered the
terrific mortality rate from child
births. The Brahmans, or Hindus, of
which the Maharani is one, insist
that women bear their children under
the most brutal circumstances with
the aid of untouchable midwives.
Another advanced thinker, such as
the Maharani of Boroda. was the
Maharani of Maribungh, also a
Hindu, who educated her children in
the most modern subjects, allowing
her daughters to go about unveiled.
American women, too. the speak
er continued, have helped India in
her continuing struggle to defeat
disease and promote progress. In
1929 numbers Of pilgrims, making
the yearly pilgrimage to their
sacred islands, were inoculated
against cholera by an American
woman and a unit Of doctors. Since
then women doctors each year in
oculate the pilgrims before they
leave their own states to make the
trek. Approximately 100000 die
annually from malaria despite ef-
forts by the English to furnish H.
tered water through hydrants. The
preventive work against this disease
was also started by an American
woman.
Mrs. Becker described the con-
tributions made by the half-castes,
half British and half Indian, and
the untouchables. The Red Cross,
she said, depends on them to carry
on sanitation work, as the higher
caste women are not permitted to
do such things. Half-castes, re-
jected by both Europeans and In
dams, are intensely intelligent and
the untouchables superb students.
These untouchables take advantage
Of the missionary schools, where
they often accept Christianity.
