Efforts of the company to

Strikebreaker together with q
scare story to the effect that the
company was moving its plant
from the city.
Additional evidence that the
company is seeking to stir up
trouble and If possible create a
Higilante force to oppose the

paid advertisement in the

company president called upon
the people of Port Clinton and

taken at a Commute meeting yes

Although both resolutions identi-

was directed mainly against county

Meager Nurse Staff
Operates Ga||inger's S
Premature Nursery
By Morion Wade DOYLE

The Gallinger Hospital Premature
Nursery reminds the visitor of a
ghost hospital ward. The babies
are there, some of them little bigger
than mans hand. The cleaning
equipment is there. But few nurses
are on hand to operate it.
A saw the nursery at feed
ing time last night. Twenty
seven tiny babies, ranging from a
few minutes to two months old,
walled for attention. They wanted
their dinner. The hungry cries of
even those under incubators could
be heard.
But only two student nurses were
there to feed them. The girls
hustled from cubicle to cubicle, talk
ing soothingly to their squirming
patients. AS one nurse put it:
1--WE do the best we can. But
there are so many of them, and
they're so little"
Equipment on Hand.
According to DR.. Lewis K. Sweet,
director OF the pediatric ward, that
nurses statement is the crux of the
current revelations of "preventable'
deaths in the premature birth
wards.
The babies are supplied with the
equipment they need, DR.. Sweet ex-
planned. The glassed-in cubicles
which separate each baby are the
last word in medical construction
The ward is divided into five
nurseries accommodating about As
babies, making possible instant clos
ing of any nursery where an in
fectious disease may be discovered
But no equipment can take the
place of the constant watching
these handicapped babies need, DR.
Sweet explained. They should be
handled with the utmost delicacy.
Instead, two student nurses were
struggling with q of them Last
night was typical of the hospitals
desperate personnel situation, one
nurse told me. The nurses aide,
who usually helped the trained stu
dents with the feeding, had called a
few minutes before to say she was
sick and could not come in. Nowhere
else in the hospital was there a
nurse who could be spared to come
to the ward.
"Impossible" Situation.
For q babies there should have
been eight or nine nurses instead Of
two, DR.. Sweet said.
"It is not a case of actual neglect,
DR.. Alvin Sweeney, superintendent
said. Rather, it is that we coulc
do 50 much more for these children
If we only had more nurses"
A total staff of only five Is as.
signed to the ward, where some.
times all As beds are full, DR.. Sweet
said. Trying to cover a 24-houl
period with only five nurses, saddlec
with special diets, special baths anc
special treatments, is an impossible
situation, he explained.
Until more nurses are obtained thu
"preventable" deaths will keep oc.
curing, DR.. Sweet declared.
They're still dying unnecessarily
and no relief In sight," he said.

PSC Hears Objections
To Bradley Boulevard
Bus Rerouting Plan
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, April 1.-THE Mary
land Public Service Commission
yesterday heard objections to the
proposed elimination by the Capital
Transit Co., of Washington, of Route
% service on Bradley Boulevard,
between Randor and Burdette roads.
Discontinuance of the service
would be one phase of a rerouting
plan proposed for the Kenwood-
Edgemoor-Bradley boulevard route
OIL and o..
The company, through Dean
Locke. contended at the hearing
that an insignificant" number of
passengers was using the bus service
on Bradley boulevard and that the
company could better serve its pa
irons by diverting facilities to other
lines.
Sees Development Stified.
Albert E. Brault, Montgomery
County Public Utilities representa-
tive, objected to the Bradley boule-
ward phase of the proposal on the
grounds that the route had been
used for three years and that resi-
dents of the area were entitled to
its continuance.
He said elimination of the service
would "Stifle residential deleVop-
ment" in that section, and added
that many persons were building
homes there thinking that trans
portation would be available. Mr.
Brault also claimed there were in
dustry workers living along Radno1
road who needed the service.
The company said recent survey
on a typical day indicated that
patronage of the Bradley boulevard
service was less than for any other
Maryland line, and that the service
failed to meet more than half the
cost of operating it.
Other Company Proposals.
Mr.. Brault had no objections te
three other company proposals
They we're:
l. Complete discontinuance o.
Route OIL, between the Wisconsin
and Western avenue terminal anc
the Burdette road terminal.
2. Extension of Route o. along
Brookside drive and River road be.
tween Kenwood circle and Western
avenue.
3. Extension of the period of op-
Grafton of the remainder of Route
o. to cover the morning rush hours
and thus provide all-day service be-
tween Radnor road and Western
avenue and into the District.
