 A HOSPITALS NEEDS
 By MRS. DONALD J. POST
 Volunteers are needed at the hospitals in this city to substitute for those giving their service to their country.
 The weather IS WonoerIul-We know 1t. Probably the snow is gone for good-we hope! But just be- cause 1t is beautiful in the great outdoors doesn't mean you should let up on your wartime jobs.
 Think of the poor patients in the hospitals. They can't get out and sniff that summer zephyr. But you could bring spring to them. Do you know that the hos pitals need aides--someon like you to bring flowers to the sick room and arrange them; to de- liver their mail; help pick up their rooms, and just chat and pass the time of day.
 Also, pantry aides are essential. They're the gals who fiv the meals, arrange attractive trays, serve the patients and lastly wash the dishesll Come and bring your friends. It's fun to work in

.Summoning Of Leaders
By Leopold Is Denied
BY the Associated Press.


BRUSSELS, July lit was an
nounced today on good authority
and then later denied that King
Leopold had summoned his brother,
Regent Prince Charles, to his Ba-
varian villa at Salzburg.
The denial was issued in the name
of the government by Adolphe van
Glabbeke, minister of the interior
after Brussels newspapers had car
ried an official Belgian news agency
report of plans for Prince Charles
to depart tomorrow.
However, the belief prevailed in
some well informed quarters that
Prince Charles would go to see his
brother and that the denial was is
sued because the government did
not want to publicize the fact.
The report that Prince Charles
and Robert Gillon, president of the
Senate, and Franz van Caufelaert
president of the chamber of depu-
ties, would visit the King had Gre
ated the impression that Leopold
had reached final decision on
whether to abdicate.

The Navy now controls the sea
right up to Japan and is ready

Forrestal said last night.
Mr.. Forrestal reviewed the Navy's
achievements in the Pacific on the

day at 9 pm. from naval stations
all over the world.
The Navy has sunk $50 Japanese
warships and the equivalent of

Mr.. ForreStal said. Only seapower
has made possible the carrier
borne strikes now pounding Tokyo,
the Navy head added.
The Japanese fleet has been "vir-
tually liquidated" in two major
battles in the last IL months, Mr..
Forrestal added.
He stressed that the Navy had
landed all the men and equipment
for previous invasions and will be
responsible for future invasion
beaches. Without the Navy, the
Secretary said, the job in the Pacific
could not be done.

Emergency Hospital
Calls Union Demand
Threat 10 Existence

Emergency Hospital officials today
issued statement regarding the
threatened strike of members of the
AFL Building Service Employees In
ternational Union, stating the
unions wage demands threatened
the hospitals existence.
The nonprofessional employees in
volved in the threatened strike have
been urged by union officials to
remain at their jobs pending certifi-
cation of the case to the War Labor
Board.
The hospital statement, signed by
George A. Garrett, president of the
board of directors, follows:
THE Emergency Hospitals policy
is to live up to its name. When a
medical emergency arises 1t does not
tirst inquire into the financial back
ground of the person in need, but
accepts all corners. Ability to pay
comes second. Would you wish to
see this policy reversed?
THE machinery to take care of
this basic need consists not merely
OF efficient installations, but of de-
voted and hard-working human be-
ings. Like all machinery, it needs
money to make it run. This money
is obtained from small endowmentS
and by soliciting men of good will
asking for their donations. To some
extent it is obtained from what the
patients themselves are able to pay.
The directors would be happy to
learn of any means of increasing the
supply of this essential money fuel.
THE hospital is now faced with
a unionization demand (the first
and only Washington hospitaD
which would make the cost of op-
Grafton $4,000 per month more than
total revenue-s10,0o0 per month
more than annual subscriptions,
proceeds of the small endowments,
and payment of patients combined
The machinery faces a prospect of
breaking down.
"All concerned know well from
their individual household affairs
that spending more than income
means bankruptcy and closing shop.
In this same light the directors
open to and appreciative of any
practical suggestions-appeal for
sober consideration of this problem
of relieving human suffering.
IF the union insists on its de-
mandS and is successful in obtaining
them, the directors would like public
advice and assistance in answer to
these questions (Which must then
arise for Settlement):
Shall the Emergency Hospital
close its doors?
Shall it continue to function and,
if so, how?"

High Basic Wage :
Baltimore Speech
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 1l.-Enlil
Schram, president of the New. York
Stock Exchange, told the Baltimore
Advertising Club here today that
he believes ip high basic hourly
wage.
Declaring 1t would be quite un-
realistic to look for any broad break
down revision of basic hourly wage
rates after the war, Mr.. Schram
said there is "a great need for clari-
fication of Federal policy in the
sphere of labor relations, as in the
sphere of taxation"
Wages should respect changes in
the cost Of living index, he con-
tinued, adding that 'if such an
index shows justification for a high
er wage, then industry must en-
deavor to pay it."
'Labor's contribution toward the
attainment of higher standard of
living must be through increased
efficiency" he added.
Strike Question Posed.
The stock exchange head pref
aced his statements with the ques-
ton: rs it not reasonable to ex-
anime into the economic and social
justification for a continuation of
the right to strike, after such time
as adequate orderly processes for the
settlement of labor disputes have
become part of cur national poll
icy?"
The principles which should I'M
derlie labor policy, Mr.. Schram
said, are:
Il. No dispute can arise between
employer and employe which can
not be settled in negotiation, by
conciliation or by arbitration, pro-
vided parties have the will honestly
to try one or more of these meth
DDS.
-. Industry and labor cannot
fail to thrive on cooperation be-
tween employer and employe and
both will surely languish if CO.
operation is absent.
Cooperation Is Key.
IS. Cooperation resulting in mu-
tual good will is the key to increased
production and better craftsman
ship.
a. Local union leadership must
be improved. Strikes and lockouts
are undesirable from an economic
and social point of view.
IS. The mere display of power
is the last thing to insure the sue
cess of an organization or an in
dustry.
IS. Employers and unions must
declare their purpose to bring about
good working conditions. good wages
and the highest standard of crafts
manship.
~. Employers and union organi-
cations must agree in advance to
abide by the decisions of properly
constituted authorities empowered
to deal with labor disputes"
