New States Attorney 'Dozed
By Montgomery 6. 0. P. Sweep

Dawson came to Montgomery
County with his parents in 1911.
Eleven years later he started in
politics by speaking at Republican
meetings. He ran for his first
political Office in 1880 and was
elected to the House of Delegates
the only Republican to win in the
county.
His luck ran out in 1884, however,
when he lost to Democrat James
H. Pugh, by 46 votes in the contest
for States attorney.
Undaunted, he ran for the State
Senate in 1898 but was defeated by
Robert Peter. He probably would
have been candidate again in 1912
he said, but he was called into the
Army, serving until 1945.
Operates 4O0-Acre Farm.
Mr.. Dawson attended Lehigh Uni
versity, Georgetown Law School and
National University Law School
from which he was graduated in
1924. He has practiced law in the
county since. He also operates
400-acre farm just outside Rock
vile.
One of the principal aims Of the
new county Republican administra-
ton, according to Mr.. Dawson, will
be to restore to the county commits
sioners the appointive powers taken
over by the State Legislature.
He referred specifically to the ap-
pointment of members Of the Mary
land National Capitol Park and
Planning Commission, Washington

ID. {. JobIess TofaIed
$1,000 in October,
uses Survey Shows

Unemployment in the Washington
area has been declining from a
summer high of 10000 to 10000 in
October, while the number Of job
opportunities is going up, the Dis
trict United States Employment
Service reported today.
Although approximately go per
cent of the 10000 job hunters are
veterans, the USES said, the number
of veterans applying to the employ
ment Offices in October was the
smallest Of any month this year.
As for job openings, more than
5000 were on file with the USES
in this area in October, 80 per
cent increase over the. past TWO
months, the USES said.
An additional demand for $500
workers over the next two months
has been forecast by Washington's
largest employers. About IS per
cent of this additional demand is
for woman workers, particularly to
handle the Christmas rush OF busi-
ness.
Government Demand Increases.
These other trends were noted in
the monthly Labor Market News OF
the District USES:
The demand for domestic help
decreased in October with the result
that the weekly wages now being
offered for the general run Of maids
is beginning to 60 down.
Although carpenters and brick
layers are still badly needed in the
area, the shortage Of nails and paint
is now making it difficult for other
construction workers to find steady
jobs. About 1000 construction
laborers are now looking for work.
The drop in the unemployment
totals is partially due to the fact
that a number Of service men and
women have dropped out Of the
labor force to go to school.
Service Workers Wanted.
The demand for workers will con-
tinue chiefly for sales clerks, Ste
nographers, mattresses and automo-
bile mechanics with tools. The
supply of job hunters will be COM
prised chiefly Of truck drivers, labor
ers, restaurant and laundry workers.
During the next two months, the
additional supply of help will come
from dismissed Government work.
ers, the construction trades and
men coming out of the armed forces
under the year-end stepped-up dis
charge policy.
Employers are becoming more
choosy about the workers they hire
with the result that 5,578 referrals
were made in October to fill 1928
jobs.

ing need for nursing care here, a
new one-year course in practical
nursing has been inaugurated at
Doctors Hospital, with IL young
women enrolled as nurses aides.
Believed to be the only one of its
kind in any Washington hospital,
the course will turn out practical
nurses qualified to work not only in
hospitals, but also in homes to care
for the sick who are not Ill enough
to require a graduate nurse.
The girls are being trained under
a carefully prepared course, includ-
ing both instruction by faculty of
doctors and graduate nurses and
practical work in the clinics and
wards of the hospital. Chairman
of the Hospital Committee on nurses
aides is DR.. Oscar B. Hunter, secre-
tary of Doctors Hospital.
Registration for the first course
has been filled, but a new one will
be opened in February, it was an
nounced.
N<CSQ Stul tACutcs
The need for nursing care in
Washington is just as acute as it was
during the war, according to
spokesman for the District Gradu-
ate Nurses Association, which wei
comes this new venture.
Shortage of nurses here has been
strongly stressed by recent health
and hospital surveys, and by hos
pital superintendents.
The need for nurses has been fur
ther intensified by the building of
two new hospitals which will open
here next year, and by the rapid
falling off of enrolment in the
eight schools for training graduate
nurses. e'-5rtf.S -t.-''te S'a
Only half as many students en-
rolled in the graduate nursing
schools for the current classes as
/ were expected, despite the great In
crease in demand for their serv-
ices. Recruitment for the spring
classes to start in January and
February now is being opened, and
applicants may apply for enroll
ment at the Graduate Nurses Asso-
citation. Telephone Adams $3.50.
The need for both graduates and
practical nurses is being stressed by
the American Hospital Association
and the American Nurses Associa-
ton.
New Legislation Contemplated.
The course of instruction and
training at Doctors Hospital was
worked out by representatives of
the medical and nursing pro-
fessions. The faculty for train
ing practical nurses consists of both
doctors and graduate nurses. The
curriculum is understood to meet
the approval of standards for prac-
tical nurses being proposed by the
Graduate Nurses Association.
Meanwhile, it was learned move
is on foot to have introduced in the
new Congress in January a bill to
amend the present nursing act, to

his congregation tomorrow morning.
The noted minister's reported
resignation was said to be due to
decision of his parish to sell the
downtown church, which is situated
at Fifth avenue and Forty-eighth
street. Also involved, according to
a newspaper account, is a proposal
that the congregation withdraw
from its governing body the con-
sistory of the Collegiate Reformed
Protestant Dutch Church of New
York, the oldest Protestant church
organization in the United States.
The consistory is 318 years old.
DR.. Sizoo and the consistory pre-

immensely valuable property on
which the church stands.
Statement Prepared.
"I have prepared a statement
which I will read to the congrega-
ton at the service tomorrow morn
ing" DR.. Sizoo said over the tele-
phone. THAT is all I can say at
this time"
In April an offer of $4,0O0000 for
the property was made by interests
planning to put up an office building
After long discussions with the
parish and the consistory, the offer
was reported withdrawn. Now ap-
parently the offer has been renewed
1t was reported in New York that
DR.. Sizoo had read his resignation
at a closed meeting of the consistory
Thursday night. But those attend
ing the meeting refused to say what
had happened there. 1t was ex-
planned that because of difficulties
which had arisen last spring dele
gates who disclosed anything that
went on at an executive session
would be liable to church discipline
Gilmore D. Clarke, president OF
the Society for Christian Work OF
st. Nicholas Church, announced
there would be an important busi-
ness meeting of the congregation at
8 pm. Tuesday. Belief was expressed
by those who have followed the
affairs of the church that the move
for the parish to withdraw from the
consistory would be taken up at
that time.
Silent on Church Meeting.
Mr.. Clarke, who is chairman OF
the Fine Arts Commission, could not
be reached today. But he gave no
public explanation for the church
meeting.
Mr.. Clarke's call for the meeting
stated:
There will be an important meet
ing of the congregation Of the
Church of st. Nicholas on Tuesday
evening, November IL, at 8 O'Clock
in the lecture room, ] West Forty
eighth street.
May I respectfully urge every
member of the congregation to be

DR.. Sizoo last spring took the po-
sition that st. Nicholas had won its
position in the religious life Of the
city as a downtown church and
would lose an enviable place If 1t
moved to some outlying section. He
was backed up at that time by the
congregation and the consistory.
