U. 5. Nurses
CIassed as Available
For Military Duty
Release Wouldn't Harm
Civilian Services, VINO
Aide Tells House Group
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.


About 45.415 registered nurses are
classified today by the War Man
power Commission as available for
military service, the House Military
Affairs Committee was advised in
a statement placed in the record
as it continued hearings on draft
legislation.
The Army seeks $4,000 additional
nurses at once.
The statement was compiled by
DR.. Harvey B. Stone, vice chairman
of the directing board of the VINO
Procurement and Assignment Serv-
ice. Those listed were classified
from a total of 34,949 nurses re-
ported by local committees all over
the country.
DR.. Stone pointed out that those
described as available for military
duty could be released from their
present positions without impair
ment of civilian service" About
81 ,805 of the number were unmar-
ried.
Procurement committees are con-
tinually adding to the list of nurses
not occupied in essential work, he
explained.
Opposes Army Order.
Discussing the recent order of thu
War Department to accept any nurse
volunteering who otherwise me-
physical and educational require.
ments, regardless of her VINO
classification, DR.. Stone told the
committee:
IF essential nurses are taken ou
|of civilian practice for service with
the armed forces as result of thi
directive, the procurement and as
|signment service is not in position
Ito take responsibility for the effect
on civilian health and safety. I
expects to continue, however, ever,
effort to maintain as much protec.
ton as possible for public health
and welfare.
'If there is to be draft, som,
service should be charged with tn,
civilian responsibility, and tina
should be one which is familiar with
the nursing profession and the rela.
tive Importance of positions in tina
field. Its function would be similal
to that of procurement and assign
ment service in the voluntary en-
listment of physicians, dentists
veterinarians and sanitary en-
|gineers."
Nurse Setup Outlined.
DR.. Stone added: National head
quarters of selective service has al
ways advised local boards to seel
the advice of the, procurement ans
assignment service in giving con,
|sideration to applicants belonging
to these professions. To avoid dis.
ruption of essential nursing services
a similar setup for nurses woule
seem to be absolutely essential"
DR.. Stone told the committee tha
he personally felt it was not neces.
sary to draft nurses. that sum.
cient number could be obtained
through an intensified campaign
fol- ~ volunteers. The position o.
Procurement and Assignment, hi
explained, is that 1t favors a draft
If there is no other way to obtair
enough nurses.
Several witnesses have urged {
selective service plan for nurse
rather than bill merely drafting
them for the armed forces.
The committee planned to hea
today from Brig. Gen. Frank 7
Hines, director of the Veterans Ad
ministration, and from representa-
tives OF the Navy Nurse Corps ant
the American Red Cross.
