declared. They get so pesos for
200 cc.s (about $40 for a half pint
of blood, she said.
Miss Rieder told the committee
the veterans cannot supplement
their allowances by working part
time because Mexican law prohibits
employment of foreigners.
Miss Rieder said she is not a
veteran, but that she is an auxiliary
member Of an American Veterans
Committee Chapter in Mexico City.
Since she was coming to Washing
ton, she said, she was asked by the
AVG chapter to urge passage of a
bill to raise the subsistence.
The bill, sponsored by AVG, would
raise allowances for unmarried vet
Grams from s65 to 500 month. III

sl25 a month, and give them an
extra $40 for each child.

Reed, assistant superintendent of
District public schools, called on
local authorities Ito bring the situa-
ton forcibly to the attention of

A committee survey disclosed that
Washington ranks 51st among SO
major cities in the quantity of
public health nursing provided.
Is Nurses for 1000 Children.
Washington has the equivalent of
Is full-time public health nurses for
its 100000 school children, DR.. Reed
asserted. This is an average of one
nurse to every $500 children.
OF the other cities surveyed. six
had one nurse for every 1000 or
fewer children, % had one for 1000
1000, nine had one for 2,000-3, 900,
six had one for 10000 900, four had
one for 4,000-5 900, and five had one
for 5000 or more.
Because of the inadequate number
Of nurses, the amount of school
service is far below minimum re-
quirements, according to DR.. Reeds
committee.
Whereas % of the cities surveyed
provide daily nurse visits to each
school, this city averages less than
one visit a week.
More Nurses Urged.
DR.. Reed said the committee was
not recommending specific remedies
for the situation, on which public
attention was focused last year in
the metropolitan health survey.
He said that the equivalent full
time nurses should be provided. This
means, he said, an increase in the
staff of Bureau of Public Nursing
of the District Health Department
from the 131 nurses now provided
by appropriation to at least $50.
