Sharpe Acts 10 Speed
Opening Of Nurseries
As Mothers March

Stirred by an indignation meeting
and march" of a dozen working
mothers, c. Melvin Sharpe, Board
OF Education member, scheduled a
special conference of officials TODAY
in an attempt to open the school
day-care centers by Monday.
Mr.. Sharpe asked Herbert L. Will
lett, Community Chest executive
and DR.. Hobart M. Corning, super
intendent of schools, to meet with
him, as head of the Board of Edu-
cation Buildings Committee, to
study mothers plans for operation
of the closed centers.
Once the special conference has
approved the plans, the Board of
Education can hold special meet
ing tomorrow-or simply sign a poll
to empower the mothers to reopen
the nurseries, Mr.. Sharpe said.
The dozen mothers met a few
blocks from Mr.. Sharpe's home, 1896
Forty ty-flfth street NV, early last
night. Led by Mrs. Dorothy Thom-
son, chairman of the Mothers Day
Care, Inc. they walked to his home
and knocked on the door.
Admitted, the mothers held two
hour conference with the commit
tee chairman to protest against
what they called "unduly delayed
board consideration of their oft.
repeated request to operate the
centers. They have estimated that
with about $4,000 offered them by
the Community Chest and about
$4,000 more in fees paid by par
ents, they can run the IA centers in
school buildings through June 30
After that they hope for congress
sional support.
Mrs. Gladys Cook, chairman OF
the Foster Day Care and Counseline
Service, will join in the conference
today, Mr.. Sharpe said. She has as
sisted the mothers in drawing ur
their operation plan. This calls fo1
one administrator, bonded treas
urer, two superintendents, food
bought by the District purchasing
agent and teachers paid by the Dis
trict purchasing officer.
The IA centers in school buildings
were closed February % when Fed
eral Work Agency funds were with
drawn. Since then children have
been housed in four churches.
Earlier, the District Commission
ers had indicated they too must ap-
prove details of the mothers plan
However. Mr.. Sharpe said he
thought the Board of Education
could empower the mothers to run
the centers in view of the genera!
appreciation already given the plan
by city heads.

Sees blot on Hospital"
This blot on the hospital and
on the District can only be re-
moved by providing adequate nurs-
ing care. Even the above requested
increase will not bring nursing care
up to minimum standards, but fail
ure to restore it would be disas-
trous."
Asked to detail how lack of nurs-
ing care would lead to an infants
death, DR.. Sweet said, in part: "A
premature baby is weak and deli
cate. 1t may not have the strength
unaided, to consume its bottle of
milk formula. And yet in the late
night hours there simply isn't
enough staff to permit an attendant
to hold each infant while it is feed
ing.
Therefore, it is case of neces-
sity at those times to give them the
bottle and let them take what they
can. I hesitate to say-it probably
should not be published-but there
is reason to believe some of these
deaths are attributable indirectly to
partial starvation. If the infant
fails to get enough nourishment it
is further weakened and therefore
more susceptible to contracting dis
ease.
Food Drawn Into Lungs.
"And we have found instances
where the child gave up its meal
and, due to weak condition, some
of the formula was drawn into the
lungs because there was no one
available to hold the child up dur
ing and after its feeding.
when I first came to Gallinger
some years ago, I started raising
Cain because the nurses didn't hold
each infant as it was fed. Later
found why. There simply wasn't
time. If they held some, others
wouldn't be fed or have any care.
Yes, it is rather horrible, but you
have help or you don't"
Supt. Sweeney was asked whether
night help could be borrowed from
other Gallinger departments and
he replied: Such help was simply
not to be had"
Justification arguments submitted
by health officials for numerous
other requested staff increases at
Gallinger told stories of wards closed
in whole or in part for lack of help
and of other difficulties.

$25, 900 for hospital equipment. said

ways. /. Such naturalization would
make possible a better standard Of

and rigid price structure which char
acterizes large sector Of our indus
tries; CD by bringing about a great
er utilization Of our vast productive
machine; (c) by providing for a
more equitable distribution OF the
fruits of industry and I'D by abol-
ishing the fragrant wastes found IN
the private exploitation Of our nat
ural resources and in the conduct OF
many of our other industries. 2. Such
naturalization, in the second pace.
would make it possible foc the gov

lively than at present genuine full
