Welfare Officials Seek
Single Law Covering
-Four Glasses Of Aid

Welfare officials are seeking to
bring four separate classes of per-
sons receiving financial allotments
underesingle legislation.
Legislation to this effect was
drafted and submitted to the Com
missioners last month by the cor
poration counsels Office. The city
heads have referred it back for re-
drafting to conform with legislation
supported by the Commissioners to
make the Board of Public Welfare
visitorial and advisory, rather than
administrative
1t has been suggested that the
residence requirement for persons
receiving old-age assistance be re-
duced from five years to one. While
under the terms of the Federal So
cial Security Act the Federal Gov
ernment reimburses the District for
so per cent of old-age payments, the
District must pay for the full bur-
den of relief in the case of those
who are not eligible for old-age as
sistance and are receiving general
assistance.
Raymond F. Clapp, principal as
sistant to Welfare Director Ray l..
Huff. said that approximately $25,-
900 will be paid this year, of which
one-half could come from the Fed
eral Government if the persons were
eligible for old-age assistance. Not
meeting the 5-year residence re-
quirements, these aged persons are
receiving general assistance. The
District is losing more than 81 ZOO a
month, it is estimated.
Mr.. Clapp said the board is inter-
ested in having the residence re-
quirements unified to bring more
persons under the Federal reim-
bursements and to simplify the
handling of accounts.
The present situation, Mr.. Clapp
explained, had its beginning 10
years ago with the Social Security
Act, when the District set the s.
year requirement to make it as re-
strictive form of relief as possible
Since then, however, the general
public assistance law has been
passed, requiring only one years
residence.
Now we find ourselves at the
point where it makes no difference
to the individual which kind OF
benefit is paid him, but it does
make a difference to the District. ,
The classes of relief in the Dis
trict are general public assistance
aid to dependent children, old-age
assistance and aid to the blind.

Rutland Says Opening
OF Wards Is First Step
In tuberculosis Aid

The first and most urgent step
In meeting the tuberculosis prob
lem in the District is the reopen
ing of closed wards at Glenn Dale
Sanatorium and Gallinger Munich
pal Hospital, Health Officer George
C. Rutland said yesterday after a
conference with representatives of
the United States Public Health
Service and private medical groups.
DR.. Rutland said that almost a
fifth of available bed space for
tuberculosis cases has been closed
because of the lack of doctors,
nurses and attendants at both in
stitutions.
Some 220 beds are in the closed
wards and DR.. Rutland has re-
quested the Army and War Man
power Commission for release of
doctors and nurses who have left
municipal payrolls for the armed
services.
A committee will be named by
DR.. Rutland to study District needs
More than 100 persons with ad-
vanced cases of tuberculosis are now
awaiting disqualification. DR.. Francis
Weber of the health service said the
tuberculosis Control Section is
evaluating District facilities. 1t was
indicated that some Federal aid, in
the form of funds for additional
nurses, might be forthcoming.
DR.. Alvin R. Sweeney, superinten-
dent of Gallinger Hospital, said
that at least 40 active cases could be
cared for at Upshur Street Hospital
If sufficient help could be obtained.
Up to the present, the hospital has
been limited to convalescent cases.
Meanwhile, Assistant Health Of
f1cer Daniel L. Seckinger, said that
it is not always possible to deport
nonresident cases. He said that in
some cases there is doubt of where
legal residence actually is and in
other cases it is not feasible to de-
port persons.
In addition to representatives of
the department and public health
service, other groups represented
were District Medical Society, Dis
trict tuberculosis Association, Med
ico-Chiurgical Society and Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurses.

These questions are sensible and
every one appears to have a sound
reason behind them. We do get a

 United Press War Correspondent Guam. Aug. 10-(1O-The second
 atomic bomb dropped on Japan ob- liberated Nagasaki in an inferno of
 smoke and flame that swirled more
 than 10 miles into the stratosphere
 and could be seen for 250 miles, an
 Okinawa dispatch said today. Heavy Clouds Okinawa-based pilots attacking
 other objectives on Kyushu yester-
 day said the clouds of smoke from
 Nagasaki spread rapidly until they
 obscured bombiag targets 60 miles
 from the port.
 Flyers told United Press War Cor respondent Russell Annabel at Ok inawa that the atomic bomb explo-
 sion was too tremendous to believe. one said that the blinding glare of the blast was so great that when 1t faded he thought for moment the sun was setting.
 The airmen's stories bolStered a growing belief that the entire urban or bliilt-up areaof Nagasaki, major naval base, industrial center and
 Japan,s 11th city, was destroyed by
 the atomic bomb.
 The built-up area totalled only four square miles. Four and one tenth square miles of Hiroshima lwere levelled Monday when. the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. Accurate assessment of the de- struction at Nagasaki awaited re-

By PHIL AULT

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Aug. 10-UP)- Leaders of the four major powers at war with Japan conferred urgently by tele- phone today on the Japanese conditional offer to accept the Potsdam ultimatuna, it wss reported authoritatively.
 Any decision by President Truman, Prime Minister Att lee, Generalissimo Stalin and Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek with regard to the Jap anese move was expected to be delayed at least several hours.
 Responsible quarters regarded 1t as likely that the complicated tech- nicalities of formal diplomatic pro- cedIne might cloak the reaction to Japanis proposal for some indefinate timea
 China Mystery
 The first unofficial reaction here was that the American attitude to- ward the condition that Emperor Hirohito;s sovereignty be maintained might be the decisive factory in ac- ceptance or rejection of the Japa- nese move.
 Authoritative indicatins were that Britain might be ready to accept the proposal if the United States agreed to do so.
 No offlcial information about the British attitude was available inn mediately.
 Some observers saw as possible hitch the insistence in some Chinese quarters that Hirohito be treated

FinoI Terms On Surrender Disclosed
 Jops Must Remove
 Military Clique;
 Relinuuish Land

Washington, Aug. 10.-(UP)-In- dications were that several days might be required for direct contact and surrender arrangements if the United States and her Allies decide to accept the conditional Japanese peace offer broadcast today by Tokyo radio.
 There was no sign of unusual ac- tivity at the White House or State Department at the time the broad cast was transmitted.
 Assuming that the offer is au- thentic. 1t was believed here that considerable period of time would be necessary during which arrange ments for formal signing of sur- render document could be com pleted.
 The Japanese, if they want to end the war, undoubtedly will be required to sign 8 formal surrender document presented to them by the Allied nations. As in the case Of the Germans at Reims. they will in all likelihood be required to sign what is presented to them without negotiation or discussions. ! The Potsdam ultimatum. which the Japanese emperor offered to accept provided his own prerogatives were not compromised, left open the question of retention of the emperor in Japan.
 Enforcement
 It called, however. for strict enforcement Of the Cairo declara- ton stripping Japan of her stolen empire and confining her to the home islands under strict super vision. to destroy her power to make war.
 Half an hour after the Japanese offer was broadcast, President Tru- man still had not appeared in his executive offices from the White House proper.
 The Potsdam ultimatum de- rnanded that Japan surrender iIn- mediately or undergo prompt and utter destruction. It gave the Allies terms for such a surrender.

 The Japanese have felt only part of the crushing fate that is in store for them if they choose to fight on, the President declared last night in a historic radio report to fellow Americans" on the Pots dam conference.

 MT. Truman vowed that the atomic bomb would continue to be turned on the enemy until the min- ute of surrender. He warned Japa- nese civilians to vacate war indus trial centers and "save themselves from destruction"

 Washington, Aug. 10-(UP)-Sen- ators disagreed today on whether to accept the Japanese offer to sur- render if the emperor is allowed to retain his position, but observers have believed it would be accepted if that proves to be the only condi- tion.
 The senators emphasized a sharp difference of opinion on the role of the Emperor in postwar Japan. The difference has existed in high AL lied quarters almost since the begin ming of the war.
