"By their caps you shall know
them," that is, if you are up on
your hospital headgear. Nearly
every hospital in the country has a
different style for its nurses cap.
1t is not known just how or when
the nurses cap originated. 1t may
have started in the very early
nursing schools when all women
wore caps in the house. Men attri-
butte it to vanity and others insist
it was to keep their hair in place
"Capping" ceremonies in nursing
schools are held when probation
ers, or beginners are accepted as
full-fledged students.
The conventional turned-up cuff
in washable style is the most ac-
ceptable cap, but many hospitals
still stick by the cap adopted g
century or more ago.
Philadelphia General nurses still
wear the "Blockley Frill' designed
by the first superintendent in 1885
Miss Alice Fisher, who was sent tC
the hospital by Florence Nightin
gale, designed the cap from one
worn by an old Englishwoman she
had admired. 1t is a shallow sauce
pan with a double fluted banC
around the lower edge.
Bellevue hospital, New York, anC
the New England Hospital for Wo-
men and Children have similar
caps.
Johns Hopkins nurses use al
organdy saucepan type with ruch
ing around the edge. This cap is
not washable and must be discard
ed after it has been worn a few
weeks.
The lopsided sailor worn on the
back of the head is the style worn
at Massachusetts General, and the
nurses at Boston Children's Hospi-
tai wear a square of white pique
st. Luke's in Denver and Univer
sity of Cincinnati nurses both veal
skyscraper caps, both having ;
black band which denotes gradu-
ates. Philadelphia Women's hospi-
tai cap was designed as a modifi.
cation of Normandy peasant caps
in 1878. The stiff front section
flares into a rooster tail at the
back. Hillman hospitals cap is q
tiny crown, spreading into double
tails behind.

ERP Aid Barred If
Communists Win,
Green Tells Italy

New York City QLNS)-Vigor-
ously denying Communist asser-
tions that a Communist election
victory in Italy would not deprive
the country Of Marshall Plan aid,
President William Greeh Of the
American Federation of Labor told
Italian workers in a radio address
that no one can expect the United
States to help governments hostile
to the European Recovery Program.
Speaking on the State Depart
ment's "Voice Of America" pro-
gram beamed to Italy, Green
charged Italian Communist leaders
are seeking to delude and confuse
Italian labor by deliberate falsifi-
cation.
'Let me stress my full agree
ment," the AFL chief said, with
Secretary Of State MarshalPs clear
and fortnight declaration that no
one should expect America to give
European recovery aid to govern
ments which have declared their
opposition TO the ERP and which
are attempting to prevent Euro
pean reconstruction and are SLAM
dering the continued and generous
efforts Of the American people to
help in the reconstruction Of Italy.
"No one should expect the Am
erican people to give aid TO those
who are opposed to the Marshall
Plan, like the Communists and fel-
low travellers rallied around Tog-
liatti and Nenni. No one can ever
honestly expect American ERP aid
to be given to governments hos
tile to such help.
"The Italian Communists know
fully well that the endeavors to re-
construct Italian economy and the
standards Of living Of the Italian
workers are bound to collapse with
out American aid. As opponents Of
the Marshall Plan for European
recovery, they are not telling the
truth when they tell the Italian
workers that vote for the Com
munists will not cut off help from
the United States.
"Togliatti and Nenni are guilty
Of cruel and brazen attempts to de-
lude and confuse the Italian work
ers and to win the elections by de-
liberate Justification when they say
that American aid will continue to
come to Italy just as much as be-
fore even if a Communist govern
ment were established in Rome.
This attempt to change white to
black and black to white is typi-
cal of the unscrupulOus line follow

ed by the Communist hierarchy
everywhere. l am confident that
the Italian workers will not be fool
ed by these rank Communist mis-
interpretations"
Green warned the Italian work
ers that in Italy, France and 9TH
.er free nations, the Moscow-direct-
ed Communist minorities were seek
ing to repeat the coup in Czechoslo-
vakia, where, ne said, by action
committees and seizure Of police
power, the Communists had
brought sudden paralysis to the ma
tion's will to act. in its own de-
fense. Submission to communism,
he declared, would bring to Italy
the slave labor conditions in Sow
let Russia, and lead only "to a
disastrous war and the destruc-
ton &C all hope for the future"

BoiIermokers Mop
4-Poinf Program
For 1o48 Agendo

Chicago IPA)-- A four point
program was announced at the con-
ference Of the Boilermakers Union
AFL last week. The unions 194S
agenda will be keynoted by an al
out organizing drive, cooperation
with the AFL unions in the indus
tries which employ boilermakers
for wage boosts, increased services
to local units by the international,
and vigorous 'get out the vote
drive"
Group meetings for each branch
Of the boilermakers' trade-rail-
road, shipbuilding, construction
and commercial shops were i'm
portant features Of the conference.
Boilermakers We're participating in
AFL rail and shipbuilding wage
campaigns while the conference
was going on.
President Charles J. MCGOWAN
said that altho the union is Gin
good shape" it will not rest on its
laurels. A new drive to bring all
workers in the trade into the union
was outlined.
One of the first unions to re-
spond to the passage Of the Taft
Hartley law, the Boilermakers or
ganized last year the Boilermak-
ers Non-Partisan Committee for
political action against the union
haters. The conference pledged that
it will cooperate to the fullest with
the AFL's LLPE and with Railway
Labors Political League.
Acknowledging occasional inabil-
ity by the international to service
all local lodges promptly, MCGOWAN
revealed plans for improving ad-
ministrative procedures and in
creasing the number of full-time
staff representatives.

GLAMOR

Accessories are the thing to set
casual or dressy pace to your
costume. In fact, accessories are
so important this season that the
newest thing in shops is the ac-
cessorie shop, specializing in the
extras that make a dress or suit
belts, scarves, gloves, hosiery,
into a complete costume.
Featured items are handbags,
blouses, millinery and costume jew
erly. Good taste in accessories
counts for more than outlay of
money, and that's why some wo-
men who spend very little on their
wardrobes manage to look better
dressed than women who spend a
great deal more on their ward
robes.
The newest service of the Aces
sorry Shop is to re-design your last
years hat, dye shoes to match a
costume, or make gloves to match
a dress or hat.
The smart girl takes her new
dress or suit to an Accessory Shop
and tries on co-ordinated acces-
sories until she finds the right
combination. This is so much more
satisfactory than hit and miss shop
ping for things you may think may
match or ego with, and the subse-
ouent returning Of the articles be-
cause they didn't fill the bill.
"The Bombshell" is the name of
stunning, revolutionary new
handbag. 1t is a spheresof anodized
aluminium with a long chain to
wear over the shoulder. 1t comes in
gold and silver as well as in black
red, white, green and navy. It's eX-
pensive too-around thirty-five dol
lars.
In Florida they make cream OF
the papaya fruit which is said to
dissolve the dead outer epidermal
crusts and actually accomplish face
lifting without surgery.
"Grin and bear it,, could be the
theme for this summers new
dresses, because they are real
shockers-sunbacks without jack
cts, backless and strapless and
one shoulder shockers.

that looks as though it came from
the wardrobe of a Mexican mata-
dor. The navy skirt is "gOred"
with embroidered waistband, white

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

Honey and three kinds of nuts
walnuts, filberts and pecans-will
be plentiful now on most markets
throughout the u. S. and these
are the main ingredients needed
to make a delicious Honey Nut
Bread.
You'll need u cup coarsely chop
ped nuts; 2 cups flour, 3 tspns.
baking powder u tspn. salt; l egg
beaten; y cup honey; u cup milk
and tblspns. melted fat.
Add the nuts to the sifted dry
ingredients. Combine the beaten
egg, honey, milk and melted fat,
and add to the dry mixture. Stir
until ingredients are just moistened
no longer.
Bake in a creased bread pan in
moderate heat for as to so minutes.
If you need cookies in a hurry,
spread saltines on your cookie sheet
and top each one with a spoonful
of the following mixture. Beat egg
white stiff, combine with 3 tblspns.
sugar, dash salt, and a few broken
nutmeats, and any flavoring desir-
ed. Bake until lightly Drowned in
a slow oven.
The best hashed in cream pota-
toes are made by using potatoes
that have been partially baked.
Dice in cubes and put in pan
with salt, pepper and lump of but
ter. Add half cup of cream for
every two potatoes and let cook
slowly until potatoes have absorb
ed all the cream.
If you lack the two hours baking
time scalloped potatoes generally
require, you can make them in
80 minutes by boiling the thinly
sliced potatoes in salted water for
5 minutes. Then arrange in cas-
serole as usual with flour, butter,
cheese and seasonings and cover
with enough milk to bake.

TIL Injunction
Forces Typos To
Change Strategy

\ indianapolis LPA)-Complying
with federal court injunction, the
Int1 Typographical Union-AFL
this week altered its plan of battle
against the shackles of the Taft
Hartley Act.
The change was made to meet
the terms of the drastic restrain
ing order handed down last week
by Federal Judge Luther M. Swyg-
ert, who also refused a union re-
quest for a stay of execution of
the order, pending an appeal to
higher courts.
Under the injunction, the un-
ions mo contract" policy was out
lawed, along with other procedures
invoked by the union to protect
"closed shop" conditions. Strikes
in support of that policy were also
banned.
The ITU thereupon revised its
strategy and sent new collective
bargaining instructions to all
locals. The locals were told to
negotiate contracts with publishers
and printing plant owners for a
definite term" and in conformity
with the terms of the injunction.
An advance draft of the instruc-
tions, as prepared by ITU attor-
neys, was approved by NLRB coun-
sci as meeting the terms of the in
junction. A key provision of the
new program is that locals are to
+ seek "the maximum security pos
sible under existing conditions"
In lieu of a "closed shop" re-
quirement, the locals are to negoti-
ate for contract provisions estab-
fishing competency tests" as a
condition of employment. Such
tests would be jointly administer
ed by the union and employer.
The instructions on that point
read: "To preserve the standards
of the craft, local unions should
submit a clause establishing COM
potency as a prerequisite to en-
ployment. Such clause would re-
cognize the joint interests of the
employer and employees in the COM
potency of all persons seeking en-
ployment, and should devise pro
cedures whereby the union has
equal power with the employer to
formulate and conduct tests of
competency. Such a clause shall
not be utilized as Il means of dis
eliminating against any person be-
cause of his membership or non
membership in the union"
A somewhat similar clause was
previously negotiated by the lTU
with job shops in New York City.
1t was hailed by the ITU as going
long way toward meeting typo
demands for "union security"
Meanwhile, locals in nine cities
where strikes are in process were
directed to enter into new negotla-
tions with employers in an effort
to settle the stoppages thru con-
tracts conforming to the unions
revised policy. The biggest such
strike has been under way in Chic
ago since November-and new
negotiations between the union and
Chicago newspaper publishers got
under way Friday.
Also, in Manhattan the union
~ and the city's newspaper publish
ers continued negotiations after
expiration of the existing contract,
without a stoppage. Laurence H.
Victory, president of Local 6, de
clared the bargaining sessions will
go on "as long as we are making
progress"

Then comes Mr.. Green's conclu-
sion. "These facts" he said, "make
it plain that Communist aggression
must be stopped if universal peace
and security are to be achieved.
America today cannot withdraw its
guarding hand from the protection
of freedom and integrity of whole
nations, freedom and integrity they
won in the war in which we fought
with them. Nor can America re-
gard the Communist invasion as
without threat to the security and
freedom of its own people. So long
as this threat exists, our nation
must be strong.
"But in countering the Commun-
list aggression, we cannot rely on
military strength alone. Essential
ly this is not a conflict of weapons
but of political ideas, of political
Organization and econom c
strength. The frontier of freedom
in Europe cannot be defended with
out fullest economic cooperation
and aid from the United States
and without the fullest mainten-
ance of economic stability and hu-
man freedom in our own land"

Comment On
World Events

For proper understanding Of the
present world situation, it is essen
tial that Soviet Russia's attitude
toward international cooperation
and the United Nations be clearly
understood. The record was con-
cisely and cogently set forth by
AFL President William Green in
his recent statement before the
Senate Committee on Armed Ser
vices. His statement shows why
Russia is distrusted and carries the
implication that Russia could win
friendship and remove apprehen-
sion by reversing its course.
"The American Federation of
Labor" President Green said, "has
consistently supported the efforts
/ of the American government to-
ward international cooperation for
lasting peace. But feeling Of deep
apprehension was aroused in our
hearts over the attitude Of Soviet
Russia in negotiations, in policy
and in action.
Every day has made it clearer
that Russia's attitude toward the
United Nations is negative. It's ear
ly refusal to participate in the
international Monetary Fund, the
World Bank and other cooperative
UN undertakings, was soon follow
ed by Russia's outright wrecking
expeditions through the abuse of
the veto power. This, in turn, was
climaxed by Russia's flat refusal
to accept the United Nations as an
instrument of control of atomic en-
ergy. Such refusal was itself en-
ough to bring US squarely face to
face with the question: Has Soviet
Russia's participation in the United
Nations been nothing more than a
means Of furthering her own inter-
ests, even at the cost of destroying
the United Nations itself?"
"But the Soviet Union," Green
continued, "did not stop with these
acts of internal sabotage within
the UN. 1t flagrantly violated its
solemn commitments as a signatory
of the United Nations Charter to
see no aggrandizement, territorial,
or other and to hold inviolate the
territorial integrity or political in
dependence of any state Nearly
half of Europe has fallen within
the grip of Communist dictatorship
and has become a part of Soviet
Russia's totalitarian economic and
political system.
"This rapacious invasion of Eu-
rope has been carried out by poll
tical infiltration and capture of
governmental control. In not one
of the countries brought within So
Wet Russia's orbit have Commu-
nists won a majority of all votes
cast in a free election. In its ag-
gressive expansion, the Soviet
Unions foremost reliance has been
on propaganda and the powerful
organization Of a small political
minority through Communist
agents"

A book review by Mrs. r. c.
Gulley and a poetry review by
Mrs. R. o. Cole were the high
lights of the April meeting of the
Progressive club at the home of
Mrs. J. E. Stone on Friday.
Mrs. Gullev chose for her re-
view a recent novel, "A Certain
Rich Man, by Vincent Sheean,
which she treated in a very COM
prehensive and understanding
manner.
In a talk on modern poetry Mrs.
Cole illustrated her review with
delightful excerpts from some of
the poems mentioned: She also
commented on Mississippi verse
and the poets and read some of
the poems, most of which dealt
with making a garden.
During a brief business session
reports were heard including a
report on the Red Cross drive and
the proposed pilgrimage and flow
er show scheduled by the Pasca-
goula Garden club for May l
and 2.
A social hour was enjoyed at
the close of the program when the
hostess served a party plate beau
tifully decorated with pansies.
