Appeal For Volunteers At
Naval Hospital Is Issued
CRAY LADIES OR NURS.'
Esq AIDES SOUGHT;
RED CROSS REPORT
MADE KNOWN

An urgent appeal for volun-
teers having completed the
training course for Gray Ladies
or Nurses Aid, and who are now
inactive, has been voiced by Mrs.
L. H. Goddard, chairman of the
Key West Red Cross chapters
Volunteer Special Services, in a
report depicting Red Cross con-
ditions at the Naval Hospital.
insufficient volunteers on the
chapters active roster, coupled
with the recent withdrawal of
WAVES from the hospital, and a
reduction in paid Red Cross staff
at the institution, have created
a great need for volunteer as
sistance, Mrs. Goddard stressed.
Interested trained volunteers
should contact Mrs. Helen E.
Mcneil, executive secretary of
the chapter, telephone 286, Mrs.
Goddard said. Her report to chap
ter executives on conditions at
the Naval Hospital follows:
Compared with six months
ago, when 35 volunteers served
706 hours, can report 81 volun-
teers serving 568 hours. T h e
has been some dissatisfaction
among the Gray Ladies; for some
time they felt that there was in
sufficient work for them to do
out at the Navy Hospital, since
the number of patients has so
materially decreased.
"At that time the paid Red
Cross staff furnished by National
Headquarters had not been re-
duced. In the past month and a
half, all that has changed dras-
tically.
There are no longer any
WAVES at the hospital. With
this reduction in personnel, there
has not been a commensurate re-
duction in the number of sick
women and children.
Hence the crying need for
Nurses Aides. We have in the
chapter only one Nurses Aide,
Mrs. Bowers, an officers wife
transferred from Hartford, Conn.
The Gray Ladies who continued
to. work during the summer
months were pressed into service,
on an emergency basis, as tenn
porary Nurses Aides. Mrs. Will
liam Holman, Mrs. Otto Scherini,
and have been aiding Drs. Lam
drum and Smith in the pediatric
clinic.
"As to the paid Red Cross staff
at the hospital, there are now
only two: Miss Margaret Jones,
field director, and Mrs. Capitola
Schmueser, recreation director.
The craft shop has to be closed
a great portion of the time, be-
cause there is no one to put in
charge. With the assistance of
volunteers, Mrs. Schumueser
could plan more adequate ward
and recreation hall activities to
meet the recreational needs of
both the bed and the ambulatory
patients. Because of the need for
Gray Ladies in the dependents
ward, they have not been able to
service the rest of the hospital
in two months.
"The library, too, needs volun-
teer assistance. It is an unusually

tBy The Associated Press,

NEW YORK; Aug. 30.-Young
Ralph Branca turned in a four
hitter for the Brooklyn Dodgers
last night at Ebbetts Field to
peat the New York Giants. 8 to 3,
and put his tie m 7l2 games
ahead of the idle st. Louis Cards
in the National League pennant
race.
II was Branca's 10Th victory
against nine defeats. One of the
four Giant hits was Willard Mar
shalls seventh inning homer with
none on.
The Boston Braves crept up

the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 to 2,
on II hits, in night game at
Philadelphia. The Braves are
now only half a game out of Sec
ond place.
Buck Newsom, with some help
from Joe Page, won a mound
duel from Early VIM under the
lights at Yankee Stadium, 4 to g..
The Senator'S were limited to
five hits, all their runs resulting
from homers by Stan Spence, one
with one on base in the second,
and another in the fourth. The
Yanks collected six bingles.
The three-hit pitching of Bob
Harris of the Boston Red Sox
was too much for the Philadel-
phia Athletics and they dropped
a 2-to-l decision in a night game
at Boston. Bob Coleman held the
Bosox to five hits.
The Detroit Tigers and St.
Louis Browns made one-run mar
gins unanimous for the day in
the American League as the tt
gers won, to 4, at st. Louis in
a night game. Vern Stephens
homered in the ninth for the
Browns off AL Hutchinson, who

Sumatra, said today the Dutch
engaged in the conflict with the
Indonesian Republic because hey
were going bankrupt without
access to the rich products Of the
Indies.
Vandervelde. who actually exer-
cises top civil control for the
Dutch on the entire island, made
the statement in an interview
without further elaboration except
to say that the Dutch advances
had ended an impossible economic
situation.
Other Dutch officials repeatedly
have said that Netherlands forces
were not engaged in open warfare
but only in ponce actions
against the Indonesians.
Detectives Limited
Vandervelde indicated that the
Dutch detectives on Sumatra
would be limited primarily to the
tea, rubber, tobacco and cocoanut
estates along the Northeastern
coast and the oil fields around
PalembanK in the southeast. A
considerable portion of these areas
have been seized by Dutch troops
within the past few days.
He predicted no attempt would
be made to subdue the fierce
Chinese who live along the coast
from the vicinity Of Medan to the
Northern tip Of Sumatra. He said
the Dutch would be glad to rego-
tiate with the Achinese, who are
old foes of the Dutch army, for
home rule.
Dutch civil authorities and
American oilmen at Palembang
said today that relatively minor
damage had been afflicted on the
great oil fields and attendant re-
fineries taken by the Dutch in

1t was still undecided whether

threatens it almost as gravely
as did Axis Europe during the
