the evening that he had hit upon a subject which would be good lis tening and the Ambassador stayed on the topic, to the approval of his listeners.
 To a question about the King of England and his status in the ideal democracy he was describing, Lord Halifax replied:
 You Americans can buy some bunting for a few cents. You make a flag of it, and then you die for that flag. We take man and call him a king-and we died for him. But he has nothing to do with legislation of the actual administra- ton of our Government. He makes speeches, and we all pledge our selves to him. But our Government is not in his hands
 Halifax had given his listeners such an intriguing peek at the situation where Congres could vote a Cabinet out of existence that all the questioning by his lis- teners dealt with this subject and he didn't have to answer a single embarr question about British foreign policy.

HELICOPTER TRAFFIC

A study of the part to be played by the helicopter in peacetime flying is being made by the Civil Aero nautics Administration The National Aeronautics Association notes that specific arworthiness require ments for helicopters being worked out by the CAA and that Administrator Stanton is also consd- erng methods of traffic control which will permit this strange and versatile rotary winged aircraft to operate without conflicting with its fxed-winged brothers MT. Stanton does not believe that the two types of aircraft be kept separate; they will inhabit the airports although parts of every field plainly marked from the air, may be set aside for helicopter operation.
 The very nature of the helcopter, which allows it to make exact landings in backwards and on the garding safe altitude cities, towns, and large assemblies of people. Both the CAA, with regard to regulation, and the industry, with regard to manu- facture, walking softly in the present stage of development of rotary-winged machines. While the helicopter has gained tremendous impetus from the demands of war, on the hand, development has also been retarded in respects by military pediency. Present models demand degree of poting skill and expert maintenance which deny broad general It is automatic however that the abilities demonstrated by such arcraftto stand still in the air to make vertical landings and take-offs to fly backward if desired-open such promising vista for personal and certain types of commercial use that their intensive development is inevitable.

GI. JOE AT PEACE TABLE

More and more State Legislatures and Members of Congress are I-c- ing that GI. Joe sit at the peace table; also that he begin by sitting in at the important San Fran cisco United Nations Conference. Some further propose that Sumner WelleS, former Undersecretary of State and the man who originally planned for the peace machinery, attend the San Francisco Con- ference, perhaps as adviser to the soldier delegate or as an unbiased observer with no ax to grind either for or against any one political party.
 The Maryland and Rhode Island Legislatures are the latest to push the idea of a GI. at the peace table, resolutions being introduced by Charles M See of Cumberland, Md, and Joseph Mills of Warwick R. I The Texas and South Caro- line Legislatures have already passed resolutions, while Senator Johnston of South Carolina and Representative Jackson of Washing ton have introduced resolutions in the U. s. Congress urging that the G.I. Joe attend the San Francisco Conference as starter to the final peace session. They propose that he be no higher than the rank of sergeant.

MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1945
 Adverse aspects dominate slightly today which may be unfavorable for our air forces. Evening should bring cheering war news.
 HEART AND HOME
 The stars encourage philosophic acceptance of the results of long war as American families prepare for summer of tremendous events.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Public interest in health and in labor will be felt by business leaders who are now ready to make certain concessions for the general well fare.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Censorship again will be discussed by the public which is unwisely resentful of delayed war news. Feature stories in the press may be unfavorable to personalities in the public eye. The seers declare that American avidity for news Iraper gossip should be curbed.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Changes in Government leader ship are forecast for certain liber- lated countries which have been slow in readjustment. Although American British Russian harmony will prevail in major matters until peace is achieved, small variations in aims will be more numerous in coming months.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of hap piness and success but there may be temptations to indulge in un- wise love affairs. . Children born on this day prob- ably will be endowed with splendid artistic talents. Success in painting, literature and music is within the possibilities for many of these Aries Folk.

 ECONOMIC GEAR FOR ITALY
 It isn't quite official yet. but Lauchlin Currie, hard hitting eco- homie secretary to the White House has been tentatively selected as Allied economic czar of Italy. He will be Vice-C Chairman of the Allied Control Commission.
 His appointment developed in a peculiar way. The State Department had been complaining that the British wouldn't do more about the economic situation in Italy, such as raising the food ration.
 Whereupon the British fired back with the reminder that a lot of positions on the Allied Commission for Italy, reserved for Americans remained thrilled. The British sug- gested that Americans fill these jobs and thus be on the ground floor to do something about the economies of Italy.
 Most important thrilled job is that of Vice Chairman of the Al Led Control Commission, which handles economics. If the final OK goes through, Currie will now ster into this spot. It will be a hot one fCopyright l945. BeH Sgndicate Inc.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"

SUNDAY, MARCH 25, 1945
 This is not an important day in planetary direction. Labor is under favorable direction that is promis- ing for production.
 HEART AND HOME
 Housing problems will become more serious in coming. weeks and difficulties more acute, for the stars indicate much shifting of population. Home ownership will be the ambition of countless young couples.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Stock market vagaries will be numerous as spring advances. Again the speculative impulse may be strong. Astrologers counsel caution in regard to alluring business pros poets.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Former isolationists will obstruct plans for postwar international re- lations. There is sign of danger that history will repeat itself and that tactics which barred the United States from the League of Nations will be again used in Con- gress.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Speedy advance of the United Nations to victory over the Nazis is prognosticated. Special dangers for officers of high rank are dis cerned.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ex- traordinary activities and widening interests. Romances should be cau- tiously pursued.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be alert, independent and exceedingly clever. Many will have manual dexterity as well as intel lectual endowments.

Mrs. Bolton Favors Draft.
Mrs. Bolton came out in favor of
pending legislation to draft nurses
for the armed forces, provided such
a measure is constitutional and pro-
tects civilian health and the rights
of nurses.
A bill to draft nurses was intro
duced by Chairman May of the
House Military Affairs Committee.
One hearing on the bill was held
and others are slated for the next
few days. Maj. Gen. Norman T.
Kirk, Army surgeon general, ap-
peared before the committee and
urged the legislation. Representa-
tive Rogers, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts also has introduced a
nurse draft bill, making all gradu-
ate nurses between the ages of 20
and As eligible for possible service.
Meanwhile, it was disclosed today
that S,236 nurses have applied for
service in the Army and Navy with
in the last two weeks-a wartime
record for volunteers.
This announcement came from
Basil O'Connor, chairman of the
Americani Red Cross.
Despite this influx of applications,
Mr.. O'Connor said, the response was
mot nearly as great as it should be
to meet the need" He added:
"We must continue at a greatly
accelerated rate for the next sew
eral weeks if we are to provide the
necessary care for our wounded"

Special Nurses Called
Only if Prescribed,
Walter Reed Replies
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Walter Reed Hospital has special
nurses for patients only when such
care is prescribed by attending medi-
cal officers, 1t was said there today
in response to a reporters inquiry
prompted by the assertion yesterday
OF Representative Bolton, Repub-
lican, of Ohio. that the institution
was dispensing luxury" nursing to
Army wives.
It was denied that the hospital has
any unusual number of special
nurses, as indicated by Mrs. Bolton,
who said she found room after
room of them" during a recent visit
to the Army medical center. She
said officers wives were getting spe-
cial nurses in the face of critical
shortage of nurses for the wounded
in this country and abroad.
1t was pointed out at the hospital
that Army regulations provide medi-
cal care for dependents of Army per-
sonnel, officers and soldiers alike,
and If women or children in their
families require disqualification, they
are taken if there is room.
No Distinction on Route.
"A buck private's wife would be
taken just as readily as an officers
wife" said spokesman. There is
no distinction. If they need special
treatment, they are given it. Other
wise they receive the regular hos
pital care. Members of Army men s
families are not taken If the beds
are needed for soldiers or officers. No
Army man is displaced to make room
for wife or other dependent"
A colonel's wife, whose name is
withheld at her request, was indig-
nant over Mrs. Bottoms charge.
Il was at Walter Reed recently
for three weeks" said this officers
wife. Il had no special nurse. I got
the care needed, but I didn't need
or ask for special. There were
other Army wives who were there at
the time and had only the regular
nurses on the wards.
Il don't see how Mrs. Bolton could
have known what she was talking
about unless she checked up on
each patient. She would have found
that enlisted mems wives were get
ting exactly the same treatment Of
ficers' wives did, and she wouldn't
have found many special nurses.
