that, on one of her trips to the

'If this is true, and l believe
it is. this is contributing to the

that he and Miss Berry were put

If the jury. which is expected

If it rules that he is, a further

the extent of the comedians fl

D. {. Heads Reject
Nurse License Plan

A proposal to license practical
nurses in the District and place
them under the Nurses Examining
Board was rejected yesterday by the
Commissioners.
The proposal was submitted to the
Corporation Counsers Office by
Charles D. Drayton, attorney, for
the Graduate Nurses Association.
Under the terms suggested by the
association, the practical nurses
would be required to pay a $l0-a-
year license and meet such stand
ards as having good moral character,
good mental and physical health,
be 20 years OF age, have three years
experience and work under the
direct supervision of a physician or
registered nurse.
The proposed legislation would give
the nursing board jurisdiction over
all practical nurses and authority
to revoke licenses for such causes as
negligence, intemperance, crime, i'm
morally or fraudulent testimony in
procuring a license.
The Commissioners were believed
to have objected on the ground that
such legislation would make 1t more
dimcult to recruit nursing assistance.
It also was pointed out that the
provision enabling the nursing board
to retain rights over disbursement
and collection of additional fees
coniicted with . pending bill to
have the various licensing boards
turn over collections to the collector
of taxes.
