loO Employees Badly Needed For Hospital
Nurses, Cooks Vacancies Exist In MiddIetown

Middletown, Aug. 2S.-"B Buildings and equipment valued at more than $575,O0O which are now lying idle at the Connecticut State hospital can be reopened, thereby relieving serious overcrowding of patients on presently occupied wards if at least 190 of the 375 vacancies in the nursing and maintenance. de- partments can be filed" it was stated today by Dr. Edgar c. Yer bury, superintendent "The addition of such a group to our personnel would also enable us to raise the standards of care for our patients by making it possible to give more of them, the individual attention they should have," he added.
 The Reception hospital, the larg- est of the idle units had to be closed in August, 1943 because of the acute labor shortage at that time. Dr. Yerbury remarked, "this building is especially equipped to offer up-to- date psychiatric treatment facilities for newly admitted patients. Its comfortable accommodate for 1i2 patients have been sorely missed. Our inability to use this building during the past two years has con- tributed to the serious overcrowd- ing that now prevails in many of our wards" he continued.
 The other major building which has been unavailable to patients for lack of help is the Tubercular hos pital which has never been occupied since it's completion in 1940. "The Tubercular hospital which is fully equipped to care for 88 patients with a substantial margin of com- fort can be opened almost as soon as we can be assured of an ade- quate personnel to staff it," Dr. Yer bury commented.
 Our primary need is for nurses, psychiatric aids and cooks" Dr. Yer bury stated. "There are openings in many other departments of the hospital for both skilled and un- skilled help, but If we can obtain the services of at least 25 nurses, 150 psychiatric aides, both men and women, and IS cooks, we will be able to distribute our personnel in such a way as to insure the operation of all major units at the hospital to the best advantage of the mentally i'll patients entrusted to our care," he concluded.

BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press Staff Correspondent

 Control of the strategic islands which command the Pacific appears to be a basic aim of the United States in the final settlement of the war with Japan.
 It will be achieved in harmony with the United Nations Charter and will not constitute imperial istic land-grabbing. Recent official announcements have made it plain that the United States intends to hang on to whatever islands are considered necessary to guard against another war of aggression in the Pacific, or to assure Amer ican supremacy if such war should be attempted.
 U. S. Policy
 President Truman has committed the United States to a definite pol icy. After he had said at the Pots dam conference that the United States desired not "one inch of ter ritory" out of the war, there was Congressional criticism. He clarified his position in his subsequent report to the nation on Potsdam when he said the United States will acquire whatever outlying military bases il deems necessary "for the complete protection of our interests and oi world peace" It would be done, he added, by arrangements consistent with the United Nations Charter.
 How many of these islands will be held outright by the, United

Strategic Pacific Isles Control Sought By U. s.

States or be occupied solely by the United States as trustee" under the United Nations Charter, may not be determined until the final peace settlement is drafted The approval of Russia, Britain, China, and other interested powers will be sought.
 In that connection, Admr. Ray mond A. Spruance raised an inter- esting point in an interview aboard his flagship at Manila shortly be- fore sailing to take part in the oc- cupation of Japan,
 Okinawa-Allied Control
 Admitting that Okinawa is stra- logically the most important of the former Japanese-held islands, Spru- ance said he thought it would be better for it to be occupied as a joint base for the United Nations, rather than for the United States alone.
 His argument was that there are 100000 Okinawans on the island and that America has always op- posed governing another people against their will. Moreover, he said, Okinawa might become a perpetual sore spot with the Japanese, thus menacing the stable international relations which it is hoped some day to attain.
 If Admr. Spruance's view prevails Okinawa is likely to become an in- ternationalized air center on the route across the Pacific to China without becoming a military base The United States, however, most probably will insist of sole control oi other strategic islands in the Gen. tral and Southwest Pacific. These might include Saipan and Guam in the Marianas; Palau, Yap, Ulithi and Truk in the Carolines, and per- haps Manus, north of New Guinea Saipan would be taken from the Japanese, who held it under League of Nations mandate, but Guam would, of course, merely retain its pre-war status as United States dependency. '
 Fill Breach
 These islands would fill in the gap between the Philippines and the island outposts of Hawaii-the gap- ing hole which made it possible for the Japanese to wedge il and split the American Pacific strong hold in two by the attack on Pearl Harbor.
 The new set-up would constitute an American-controlled chain all the from Pearl Harbor to Manila extending as far South as may be found necessary. Australia has in- dicated she would have no objec- tions to American bases even ir her jurisdiction. Powerful bases ir the Philippines would be retained after those islands attain complete independence-with the willing con. sent and perhaps the insistence oi the Filipinos themselves.

a senior at Marygrove College. and
Margaret Mary Danz, a resident of
Wyandotte and member OF the
Choral Society, presented two groups
of two piano numbers. In the first
group they were not too happy In
THE Allegro" from the Sonata
in c Major" by Bach and in "Jesu
Joy of Mans Desiring" by Bach,
they were bit too heavy on the
down beat which made 1t seem
mechanical. In "Danse Macabre"
Of Saint-Saens they found them
selves and gave a fine rendition of
the number. theeir second group,
which was light in character. "Pou-
pee Valsante" by Poldini. Might
and Day" and "Tea for Two" they
played right into the hearts Of the
people. These two young ladies will
go far in the musical world.
Mr.. Lyon. as usual, held the club
well in hand. They responded to
his direction beautifully and Of
course Mrs. Lyon was right with
him in the accomplishments. The
accompanimtnts would have been
more enjoyable, I think, had the
piano been placed on the left Of
the stage as Tuesday night the bass
was too strong and the treble was
lost at times due to the position of
the piano.

18th Choral Concert Commentaries We Day

"Wynken, Blynken and Nod" by
Ethelbert Nevin. In this Mrs. Lyon
at the piano was ably assisted by
Margaret Mary DAM. The accom-
paniment for two pianos or four
hands is most intriguing and they
certainly played it. The solo line
was sung by Margaret Domal and
seemed as though it had been made
to order for her. And the club, I
think, did their best work in this
number. Their attacks were fine
and never once did they cover up
the solo tine.
In the final group Bird Songs
at Eventide" by Eric Coates was
vel ldone. This song does not seem
to pay for all the elabor put in it.
I imagine the club put in more real
hard work on Begin the Beguine"
than any other song on the pro-
gram. When we heard they were
going to sing this song we won-
dered - for unless the rhythm is
caught and held. the song is killed
but they did it. More power to
them. "The Omnipotence" was
taken at just the right tempo and
was well worked out all the way
through although the lovely melody
in the lowest voices was almost lost
at times due to the enthusiasm Of
the higher voices.
