sentence in Lorton Reformatory for

Court in a habeas corpus proceed

A habeas corpus petition, filed to-

Justice Alexander Holtzof signed

writ is finally issued a hearing
would be scheduled to determine
whether Jordon should be released.
Chief Justice Vinson last month

Cannon Criticiizes Plan
To Have Teachers Do
Basic Health Work

DR.. James A. Cannon, physician
member OF the Board of Education,
said today he thought Health ON
Ger George c. Ruhland's plan to
train teachers to do basic health
work was not practicable.
DR.. Cannon touched of discus
sion of the problem last week when
he declared the school nursing facil-
tiles were "disgracefully inadequate"
and promised to fight to have the
service transferred from the Health
Department to the School Board
if better health protection were
not given. -
In turn, DR.. Rutland charged the
board had ignored his plan. which
he commended would do much to re-
lieve the inadequacies Of the school
health program.
1--WE are painfully aware of our
shortages" DR.. Ruhland COM
mented.
Burden Too Great, He Says.
DR.. Cannon said he considered
this plan gave too great RESPONSE
bility to teachers. It is not good to
put CHS burden on amateslrs, to
expect them to ward of epidemics
and advise children of their condi-
ton, he said.
1.-THE responsibility belongs to pro-
fessional people" he stated. DIR.
Rhuland promises to give better
service and if he does, I'll be happy"
DR.. Rutland said today he thought
his plan of training teachers to do
basic screening" of the children was
the answer in view of the fact that
appropriations to the Health De-
partment were inadequate.
Provision was asked in the 1913
budget for 10 more nurses. but the
item was cut by Congress. The same
request will be put in the 1949
budget, the health officer said.
Insists 1t Can Be Done.
In defense of his plan, DR.. Rub
land said it was practiced in many
large cities. II know it can be done, -
he added.
Although "astounded" at the tenor
of DR.. Gannon's criticism, DR.. Rub
land said at least it would emphasize
for Congress the needs of the Health
Department in the school nursing
field.

lem probably will await the first full
