House Group 10 Draft
Own Nurse Bill Soon,
1homa,on Promises
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Some form of legislation dealing
with the critical shortage of nurses
in the Army will be reported to the
House within week, Representative
Thomason of Texas, ranking Demo-
crat on the House Military Affairs
Committee. predicted today.
Mr.. ThomaSon, who presided over
the committees hearings on nurse
legislation last week in the absence
of Chairman May. pointed out that
the testimony had brought a good
deal of confusion over the form of
relief necessary.
Most of the medical and nursing
authorities who appeared seemed to
feel, he added, that a simple act
drafting the required number of
nurses would not solve the problem.
They said if there was to be draft,
it should be selective services with
nurses assigned where they were
most needed, whether in civilian
posts or military service. Fear was
expressed that otherwise public
health would be jeopardized in many
communities.
Hearings Resume Tomorrow.
Hearings will be resumed at 1870
m. tomorrow and they are expected
to last several days more.
Representative Thomason said 1t
was hoped the committee could go
into executive session later in the
week to draft bill
Every one is convinced of the ne
cessity for more nurses" he ex-
planned. Its simply question of
the best way to get them"
While some committee members
have indicated. as they questioned
witnesses, outright opposition to a
draft. most of those who attended
the bearings have shown a DISPOSE
ton to support any legislation which
would bring the quickest and best
results.
Representative Glare Boothe Luce,
of Connecticut has
raised the question of whether the
Army was utilizing all the trained
nurses available She asked also
whether the Veterans Administra-
ton was helping relieve its critical
shortage by using some of the 5000
colored graduate nurses. She was
told that these were employed only
in hospitals used exclusively for
colored patients, though officials de-
MED any of these nurses had been
rejected because of race.
Mrs. Luce Gets Complaints.
Mrs. Luce said some of them had
complained to her that they had been
turned down without an inquiry into
their qualifications
Two bills are before the com.
mittee. One, by Chairman May,
would require all nurses between
18 and As to register for possible
draft. The other measure, by Rep
resentative Rogers, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, would set up a draft
machinery under the direction of
selective service and provide that
all inducted nurses would be made
commissioned officers.

Prison Board 10
Map Jail Bill
State PenuI Control
Envisioned in Plan
To Improve Core
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-The State
Board of Correction today was given
responsibility for preparing a plan
to implement Gov. OConor's pro-
posal that the State control Mary
land county jails.
The Governors proposal, which
also called for regional jails to re-
place the present institutions, wis
made public yesterday in a letter
to Joseph H. A. Rogan, chairman,
and other members Of the Board Of
Correction.
The Governor requested the board
to prepare the plan for submission
to the Legislature, because of his
deep concern" about conditions in
county jails recently described in
prison inspectors reports.
Objecfives Listed.
The Governor praised the board
for its efforts in improving State
penal institutions and listed his
recommendations thus:
Il believe that this central author
ity should be in the existing State
Department of Correction.
Legislation might be considered
for the attainment of the following
objectives:
ITO inspect and approve all Mary
land county jails and to have full
responsibility for the safekeepipg,
health and welfare of all prisoners
committed to them.
ITO prescribe minimum standards
for the operation of these institu-
tions, including the qualifications of
personnel.
ITO have authority to prescribe
rules and regulations for the govern
ance and discipline of the prisoners.
Provides State Financing.
ITO be empowered to transfer
prisoners. whether awaiting trial or
under sentence, to such local and
State institutions as may be avail
able whenever Jail does not COM
ply with the minimum standards
prescribed by the central agency.
ITO consolidate jails and deten-
ton facilities in those regions and
areas where this can be done at a
saving to the taxpayer and at the
same time bring about Improved
conditions.
ITO be authorized to establish
budgets for the maintenance of such
jails as are continued in operation,
determine the per capita charges
to be made for the safekeeping Of
prisoners when they are trans
ferred outside a county having no
Jail and require the de-
posit of all fees and charges COL
lected for the maintenance of pris-
oners to the credit of the appro-
pirate fund"
Would End Fee System.
The Governor added that in re-
spect to the latter recommendation,
the Department of Corrections
policy should look to the ultimate
abolition of the fee system and pay
ing sheriffs and jailers ON a salary
basis.
In many Maryland county jails.
jailers are paid small salaries and
are permitted to make as much as
they can from the food fees paid at
so much for each prisoner a day.
The Governor said the Depart
ment of Correction also should be
authorized to seek an appropriation
to supplement county funds to main-
tain temporary detention facilities |
during court sessions ano in other
These funds, he saio, .rould be |
available only in those counties |
where full-time operation of a suit
able jail at a reasonable cost is |

R0SEN SENTENCED
TO 0NE-YEAR TERM

NEW. YORK, May 16.-P)-Kings
County Judge Louis Goldstein, re-
jecting a jury recommendation
for clemency, today imposed the
maximum sentence, year in Jail
and $500 fine, on Henry Rosen, 81,
convicted of conspiracy to bride
five Brooklyn College basketball
players.
THE five boys you corrupted
were apparently in no kind of
trouble before you appeared on the
scene,' the iurist told Rosen.
The one-time Marine who serv-
ed at Pearl Harbor and Midway,
had pleaded for leniency, saying:
I'D rather be shot than put into
Jail. I promise by my dead moth
er and father that I won't get into
trouble again.
Goldstein last week imposed the
same sentence on Rosen's convict
ed co-conspirator, Harvey Stem
mer.
