known as the Washington Infirm-
ary, was discovered to be on fire. II

100 sick and wounded soldiers, anc
a considerable number of other Gov

lieved to have originated in de-

was located in the cellar under the

Used for Hospitals

At this time, aside from the Fed
orally controlled hospitals, the burn
ing of the Washington Inflrmary
left the city practically without any
facilities except the hospital at
tacned to the poorhouse, which then
stood in the vicinity of the present
Gallinger Hospital. Due to this de-
plorable condition, authorities were

part of the Patent Office, Mrs. Eng

Two Labor Leaders

But it is significant that William
Green. president of the American
Federation of Labor, and James B,

tions, were active members of the
Hartman committee. Mr.. Green,
CIO President Philip Murray and

John L. Lewis were members of the

helped only to serve as what the
Red Cross itself calls window
dressing"
1t also is significant, in view of
the Hartman committees conten-
ton that Red Gross membership
should be clearly defined as open
to anybody, that one of that COM
mittee's members was Dr.. F. D. Pat

Mr. O'Connor's pet objective of
broadening the base of participa-
ton" will get another boost at
chapter level. The recommendation
that chapters should have State
liaison committees for contact with
State welfare officials and other in
dependent welfare agencies means
that the Red Cross will participate
more generally in community life.

on the side of democratic principles.

The war also cut deeply into the
