Ruling 10 Be Sought
On Using Interns
In D. {. Ambu|ances

A Corporation Counsel decision
will be sought by Health Officer
George c. Rutland on whether III, is
legal for interns to- serve on arlbu-
lances. t
The Commissioners yesterday
ordered that physicians be assigned
to Health Department ambulances
on all emergency calls. DR.. Ruhland
said it would handicap the Gal
linger staff If the regulation were
interpreted to require licensed plly-
sicians rather than interns, most
Of whom are unlicensed.
The practice in most cities, the
health officer pointed out, is to en-
ploy interns on ambulance duty as
part of their training. If the intern
encounters case which would call
for the services of a licensed doctor
under the Medical Practice Act, he
can get the dispatcher to summon
one Immediately.
Present practice on Health De-
partment ambulances is to use a
driver and an assistant, both trained
in first aid. Interns do not ac-
company the ambulance on Its
trips.
Casualty and Emergency Hos
pitals. which now use interns on
emergency ambulance calls under
contract with the District govern
ment, said today they had not been
informed of any change in policy.
A hospital official said that If
licensed doctors were required on
ambulances of the contracting nos
pitals, the effect would be simply
to force interns to get licenses.
Most of them do not now apply
for licenses, because they are not
engaged in private practice.
The Commissioners order fol-
lowed request by Maj. Robert j.
Barrett, superintendent of police,
who wanted police relieved of re-
sponsibility for diagnoses or death
pronouncements made in the alb
sence of a doctor.

NEA Reports Supply
OF Teachers Slightly
Better Than in 1916

The supply of teachers for public
schools over the Nation will be
slightly better this year than last
but there is "little reason for re-
joicing," the National Education
Association said today. -
AS for the District schools, School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning said 1t
was too early to tell what effect pay
raises granted by Congress this year
will have on efforts to obtain per-
manent teachers.
I'VE have had many more appli-
cations for temporary jobs, how
ever" he added.
Regular Exams Later.
He said a special examination
held this summer obtained SO new
permanent elementary teachers, the
level in which most of the tempo
rary teachers are used. But regular
examinations for permanent posi-
tions are, scheduled for later in the
fall.
Last year the Districts public
schools had approximately $50 tenn
porary teachers among its $500.
DR.. Corning said he believes the
situation would not be much diff
ferent from the last few years when
qualified teachers were hard. to find
The MEAS statement came as q
result of spot check of cities and
counties of the country. The short
age of teachers still exists, the NEA
said, and more than 100,000 teachers
hold substandard certificates. Last
year 10000 teaching jobs over the
Nation found no takers.
Salaries Believed Better.
The report added that the survey
gave the impression" that salaries
have improved over last year. Av-
erage salaries reported ranged from
81 300 to $4,000, with Washington s
teachers well in the upper brackets
of salaries.
School officials are fighting to
keep teacher supply and demand
under control until more favorable
conditions can be reached" the NEA
said.

Tommy has acquired a beautiful
turquoise blue color in his single
year of life. He sat up and did
some hurried preening when the
photographer arrived. However, the
younger Bill insisted on sitting on

Express Bus Service
From RiyerdaIe 10
Beqin on Monday

Two experimental express bus
lines that will take riders nonstop
from Mount Rainier, Md, to Ninth
street and Constitution avenue NV.
were announced jointly today by
Capital Transit Co. and the District
Public Utilities Commission.
One line, to be known as the Q-1,
will start in Riverdale, Md, and pro-
vide local service via the Peace Gross
where it will go nonstop the rest
of the way. The other will start
in Riverdale, too, but will provide
local service via West Hyattsville,
thence to Mount Rainier and non-
stop from there.
Service Starts Monday.
The express service will begin
Monday and the running time from
Riverdale to Ninth and Constitution
will be 36 minutes and the fare will
be 80 cents from Riverdale and &c
cents from Mount Rainier.
The 20-cent charge from Mount
Rainier will be made, transit Off
cials said, despite the fact the
terminal is only 100 yards over the
District line. This is because the
fares of nonstop passengers, ever
with standees, will not pay the cost
of the new lines, they said.
Fourteen buses will be used OF
the line, They will run every fiv'
minutes during the rush hour
starting at 7:12 am. inbound anc
4:40 pm. outbound. Buses leaving
Riverdale will alternate between the
Peace Cross and West Hyattsville
routes.
Other Lines in Prospect.
E. c. Giddings, spokesman for the
transit firm, said today it is hoped
to divert passengers from other bus
and streetcar routes serving the area
during the rush hour and to tempt
some auto owners to leave their
cars at home and use the new ex-
press service.
If successful, he said, the new
lines may become prototypes for
lines serving the Silver Spring,
Chevy Chase, Bethesda and other
areas.
In another revision of service,
Capital Transit officials announced
that the summer time operation of
buses between Fifteenth street and
Treasury place NV, and the Lin
coin Memorial and Hains Point, will
be ended Monday. The buses, which
have been operated on week ends
and holidays. were a vacation"

Strange Flash Fire Destroys Pearl HarbOr Dock

PEARL HARBOR, (P) - The navy sought to find the cause to- day of flash fire which swept a huaC Pearl HarDo- dock, sent p firefighterS to the hospital and laid a smoke pail over the giant base.
 Damage was expected to run in- to hundreds of thousands of dol lars, and it might have mounted far higher but for 800 navy and marine fire-fighters who confined yesterdays blaze to a quarter mile-long wooden dock.
 At the height of the roaring fire, civilian workers moved more than 5000 tons of supplies to a place of safety when the flames licked close to the adjacent warehouse area.
 Fire broke out without warning in the oil-slick waters between the dock and the supply ship Oberon at l0:45 am. and within a few minutes had raced the length of the dock on the submarine side of the yard.
 Crews of the Oberon and the nearby destroyer tender Sierra got their ships under way quickly out into the safe channel as the flames spread along the oily waters, send ing black smoke clouds billoWing.
 Four firefighter tugs and a dozen smaller craft equipped with hose moved in and shot water into the mass of flames, while shoreside firefighters poured on water and

Seeing The Legislature From The Gallery

Continued From Page One ment, and based his entire plea on that premise. This resolution will undoubtedly be quoted in favor of the administrator general bill when it comes up for vote. The resolution of the Grand Igloo was general and did not apply to any specific bills, but will undoubtedly be used to further this legislation.
 The bill providing for the aboli- ton of the Alaska Development Board is on the House calendar to- day in second reading. So far no endorsements of the board have been put into the House record. If received, they have not been re- ferred to the House. McCutcheOn launched an inquiry for the pur- pose of bringing them out how ever.
 Coffey's bill introduced by re- quest to change the penalties for violations of laws relating to sale of liquor was defeated in the Sen ate today after a slashing attack made on it by Cochran as making the penalties lighter for violations.
 Cochran reviewed the history of the passage of the cocktail bill which he had opposed and said the bond forfeiture on first viola ton was written in as a cOnces- sion to get the bill through.
 The bill introduced by COffey would substitute a graduated scale of penalties for violations. Would close store for three weeks on first violation, for six weeks on second and for six months on third viola ton. Cochran said the bill was constantly violated in Nome with hordes of drunken natives on the streets, but no bond forfeiture had ever been made.

Britain Wants U. $. To Take Her Greek Commitments
(BY Alex H. Singleton)


 WASHINGTON, (F) - Britain, her domestic economy near the breaking point, was reported in Congressional and diplOm { c quarters today to have proposed that the United States take over her commitments in Greece on a large scale.
 Although there was no White House confirmation, this was un- derStood to have been the subject at least in part-of a highly Se- secretive White House conference yesterday among President Tru- man, his diplomatic advisers, and key legislators.
 One source said that the United States would issue a statement soon on what part, if any, it would assume in helping bolster the shaky Greek government.
 Qn London, a foreign office spokesman said British and United States discussions were under way in Washington on the problem of continuing the economic and mili- tary obligations in strife-torn Greece now being borne by Brit ain.
 (The spokesman implied one as pect of the talks was the con- tinued provision of foreign cur rency with which Greece could purchase arms and military equip ment.
 (The discussions, he added, arose out of the ending March 31, of Britain'S commitment to main tain the Greek armed forces. The same spokesman said he saw no prospects of U. s. military forces being sent to the country after Britain's forces get out.
 Other government sources said lOiSlSil SCSlC lCIdl Il llSSL DSNlll "dS planning to withdraw Britain's re- maining 10000 troops from Greece within the next three months"
 It was learned from diplomats in Washington that the whole problem of Greece, together with a report on Britain's waning re- sources, was laid before secretary of state Marshall by Lord Inver- chapel, British ambassador to this country, at a recent conference.
 Should the United States decide to take over a large share of Brit iSh commitments in Greece, and perhaps elsewhere, to help restore Europe'S stability, it could well force a complete redrafting of this nations plans for foreign relief expenditures.
 This in turn might force an up ward revision of both President Truman's budget estimates, prob lem which in turn would affect the current congressional drive for trimming his $37 O,OOO,OOO fig ure, tax cuts and debt reduction.
