 Nurses Seek
 New Recruits
By ADELAIDE KERR AP Newsfeatures Writer

The babys cries cut the silence. Tn the lamp-lit living room his mother wept too. Eighteen-m months -old Roddy had long since recov- cred from an ear infection that re- Quired painful probings. But he continued to scream for hours every night. Sometimes he threw himself from one side of his crib to the cthsr as though trying to keep him. self awake. Then, by day he was peevish and hard to handle. He was fast becoming a problem child.
 His mother was at her wits end. The cries tormented her. But if she went back to the bedroom and picked him up, she would spoil him, wouldn't she? In anguish she stayed where she was, her work k-worn hands twisting in her lap.
 Things might have gone on like that indefinitely if Roddy's father had not broken his ankle on the job. The factory nurse came to the house to dress it and learned of the baby's nighttime crying. She told the mother that the painful ear probings had left him frightened and insecure He needed assurance of love and protection-that was all. She taught the mother to rock Roddy before she put him to bed and, whenever he cried to go back to him with a word or a pat. Tn ten days the child was sleeping through the night like bear cub.
 The nurse was one of civilian army of 2l,000 public health nurses who work in cities, small towns and rural areas throughout the country. They are employed by city and state departments of health, visitin g nurse associations, clinics, schools and industrial plants. Their primary aim is to nurse the sick. But their work also extends into the com- munity to prevent sickness before it strikes and to promote general good health.

U. 5. Has Hopes Of HoIyLand Truce Today

LAKE SUCCESS, N. r., April l. -IR-The United States hopes for approval today of a special Pales- tine session of the United Ma tions Assembly. A ballot also is expected on the American repeal for a truce in the Holy Land. The Security Council will meet this af- ternoon, and American sources are confident that both measures will pass, barring Russian veto.
 The Security Council seems about ready to call for an investigation cf the role played by Moscow when the Iron Curtain fell around Czechoslovakia. A formal note is due on the investigation next week. It still is something Of a question just what kind of an in- vestigation there may be.

 "Putlic health nurses can be of invaluable help to mothers says Anna Fillmore, NOPHN's new di- rector Many women feel frightened and uncertain with their first ba- bies, Often they make serious mis- takes in child care simply because they are trying so hard. As re- suit their children sometimes be- come social misfits.
 "Some mothers become slaves to their babies. One city mother ex- hausted herself to get her baby into the sunshine. Each day she bundled him into his big carriage, dragged him down three flights of stairs and sat outdoors on the street all day with him. It was so noisy there he got very little rest, so he became fretful. The mother got no house. work done by day so she had to work at night. The husband had no companionship, so he grew surly and stayed away evenings. The whole household was in a snarl.
 One of the public health nurses taught the mother to take the baby out two hours every day and let him sleep quietly at home the rest of the time. That enabled her to do her housework in the daytime and spend the evenings with her hus- band. He began to stay at home again and the family snarl un- tangled"

CLARE BOOTH LUCE
STRONG CHAMPION
MINORITY RIGHTS

During the early days of the
sessions when party spokesman
were holding forth from the ros-
trum with their varying interpre-
tations of the state of the Nation,
what was considered to be the
most significant address to minor
ity groups, with the exception of
Magistrate Hobson Reynolds
speech was that of former Connec-
ticut Congresswoman Clare Booth
Luce on Tuesday evening.
During the course of her forth
right denunciation of the Truman
administration, her reference to
the "lynch-loving Bourbons, white
shirted race supremists of the Bill
BIO ilk", later became post
session. topic for discussion among
Negro COP leaders.
1t was recalled that during her
Congressional term, the outspoken
COP figure was one of the
champions of minority
rights on Capitol Hill. National at
tention was drawn to her Lincoln
Day address in 1916 when she
denounced the economic slavery"
to which the Negro was subjected.
Her retirement from the active
political scene at the expiration
of her term was the cause for
sincere regret in many Negro
COP circles. And while it is not
that her return to the
limelight at the convention signi-
flies a renewal of political activity
on her part, Negroes generally are
of this re-emphasis
at an especially crucial period.

l have known his honor, Judge
Roy De Grief, long before he ever
became Judge of the Municipal
Traffic Court of Seattle.
Quite unknown to the judge
am taking this liberty through
the permission of your paper to
make a racial appeal for a man
who keeps his word. My best in
formation is that he is Repub-
lican, politically (You would
never know from his position on
the bench).
l am very deeply interested in
the fact that he was fair enough
to thrust aside whatever personal
consideration he may have had in
choosing a bailiff to serve his
court and name a Negro to that
position, without any restriction.
Say what you will, it takes little
nerve to do that and Judge De
Grief has plenty of it.
And that Negro bailiff is MAX
ing a record for himself and his
race.

OLYMPIA - Secretary Of State

enough bona fide signatures to as
sure its being placed on the gen.
eral election ballot.
The same appears true, he said,
of Initiative 1863, a measure calling
for a bonus for Second World War
veterans. And the great number
of signatures on the petition for
Initiative 172, an old age pension
measure, makes 1t mathematical
certainty" that it will be certi-
