More Men ENROLLING
As Student Nurses
AT St. E|izabeths
By Thomas 6. Buchonon


When st. Elizabeths Hospital en-
rolls rs students in its three-year
nursing course. this fall, 81 will be
men.
This is more than twice the num-
Der of male nurses ever previously
enrolled for any course at the Fed
eral mental institution.
William Fairweather, AZ, who in
1923 was the first man 10 complete
three years training at St. Eliza
beths feels it is a hopeful sign that
the male nurse at last is coming into
his rightful place in the medical
profession. Mr.. Fairweather Is the
institutions assistant director of
nurses.
The public is not yet accustomed
to the idea that for some kinds of
nursing men are better qualified
than women. according to DR.. Win
fred Overholser, superintendent Of
st. Elizabeths. The armed forces
failed to appreciate the value of
trained male nurses in the last war,
he contends.
Mr.. Fairweather Joined Navy.
To prove his point, he cites the
case of Mr.. FairWeather, who gave
up his nursing post after the United
States went to war and enlisted in
the Navy.
Once in uniform, this skilled nurse
with nearly 20 years experience be-
came an enlisted medical specialist.
At the Bethesda Naval Hospital,
where he was stationed for some
time, he met a number of girls he
had trained at st. Elizabeths. They
had commissions and some were
expected to supervise their former
instructor.
DR.. Overholser feels the armed
forces should arrange to take full
advantage of the skill of trained
nurses, regardless of their sex.
A number of men trained at St.
Elizabeths served in the war. One
of them, 25-year-old Norman Sue.
received bronze star as a company
aid man in the Fourth Armored
Division.
Helpful With Men Patients.
Men nurses are of particular
value in handling men patients at
psychiatric institutions, DR.. Over
holser declares. Their value is not
confined to work in which consid-
cradle strength is necessary, al
though force may be needed to deal
with occasional unruly men pa
tients.
AS much part of their work as
the administration of medicine and
supervision of wards, according to
Mr.. Fairweather, is their service in
securing the confidence of other
men in their care This includes
accompanying the patients to church
and watching their recreation, as
we'll as attending to their personal
needs.
OF the % registered men nurses
now at st. Elizabeths, living quarters
on the hospital grounds are pro-
vided for seven, as well as for three
men student nurses.
The hospital long has recognized
the value of men in the less highly
trained attendant positions, and
now has several hundred men en-
ployed in that capacity, assisting in
the care, of patients.

Parking Agency
Meets Setback
On Use Of Park
Interior Department
Disupproves Polo \
Grounds Project

The District Motor Vehicle Park
ing Agency has encountered its first
rebuff since making public in June
its long range blueprint for easing
Washington's parking congestion. it
was learned yesterday.
The Interior Department has
turned thumbs down on the agency's
proposal to use the Polo Grounds
in West Potomac Park as a shuttle
bus-parking project for about 800
cars for a trial period of 80 days.
The idea was to have drivers park
their cars there all day for a fee
that would entitle them to shuttle
bus rides to and from downtown
stores and employment centers.
The Interior Departments grounds
Tor rejecting the project, it was
learned, are that there already is
too much use of parks for other
than park purposes and that once
parking had been established at the
Polo Grounds there would be loud
protests when it came time to turn
1t back into park.
To Be Used For Recreation.
The park area is to be turned back
= to use for recreation instead, espec-
tally baseball, department source
said.
The project was given top billing
IN the parking agency's blueprint re-
port, which went to the Commits
sloners in June after 18 months
work.
The agency planned to organize
other such shuttle bus parking areas
in the District, based on experience
gained in operating the initial pro-
ject.' The Capital Transit Co. was
persuaded after long discussion to
say it would operate the facility
but when everything was all set to
go, the Interior Department killed
the project. a
Park Official Disappointed.
The department controls the
Washington parks through the Of
flee of National Capital Parks, local
field branch of the National Park
Service. -.
P. Y. K. Howat, chairman of the
parking agency, said yesterday he
was somewhat disappointed" over
the setback, but was conferring with
the transit company on similar pro-
posals which he hopes may be
carried out successfully.
He said he was not prepared
vet tn saw what the other rronosalc
are.
This is the second time within a
year that the agency has met with
poor luck in trying to start trial
parking shuttle project.
Earlier it was proposed to use the
huge Pentagon parking lots for a
similar purpose, but legal technical
tiles shovel this plan into the dis
