Confidence in the success of the
Marshall Plan provided that the
I6 European countries to receive aid
carry through the provisions of the
Paris Conference and that the
United States sets up q careful
administration of the program was
expressed yesterday by former Un-
dersecretary Of State William l..
Clayton.
Mr.. Clayton, who was a consul
tant to the 16-nation conference in
Paris last summer, spoke before a
luncheon meeting of the Woman's
National Democratic Club.
He outlined the three-point pro-
gram adopted at the conference
which the is powers agreed was nee
essary for the success Of the plan.
II believe the Marshall Plan will
work." Mr.. Clayton declared, 'if
these countries will restore their
production, lower trade barriers and
stabilize their currency"
The speaker suggested that the
16 countries participating in the
recovery program foran multilateral
agreements with each other and set
up a continuous commission to re-
ceive periodic reports on the pro-
gress Of the program and make
them public. This commission
would have only one sanction-pub-
lie opinion" Mr. Clayton said. "and
the knowledge that the world will
know what they are doing would
keep them on their toes"
Mr.. Clayton also suggested that
the United States enter into bilateral
agreements with each of the 16 ma
tions for the better administration
of the plan. The conditions of the
agreements ought to be fair but
tough" the former undersecretary
declared, "for the success of the pro-
gram will depend on the careful
way We set 1t up and administer it. ;"
Mr.. Clayton did not commit him.
self, however, on the actual method
Of administering the recovery pro-
gram when queried by a member Of
the club. He expressed the opinion
it would be wiser to await the result
Of the Brookings Institution report
on it.
In answer to the critics who claim
the Marshall Plan would endanger
our economy. Mr.. Clayton declared
the plan, if adopted sin toto" would
be no more of an additional burden
on the country's economy than that
carried in regular exports to Europe.
He termed the Marshall Plan new
means of payment" for these goods.
Mr.. Clayton challenged the recent
statement made by Senator Taft in
which he predicted the United
States would be sending $4,000, 900, =
600 more in goods to Europe in 1948
than in 1947. Senator Taft Is in
error" Mr.. Clayton said, "and that
will be shown in due course"
The speaker emphasized that the
Marshall Plan Is to our national in
terest, particularly when 1t may save
the countries of Western Europe
struggling for their integrity against
an enemy armed with the new
technique of war-infiltrating and
boring from within"
Former Attorney General Francis
Biddle, a guest at yesterdays meet
ing, asked Mr.. Clayton If there was
not "some inconsistency" in the fact
that the Marshall Plan is still oper
to the satellite countries. Of Europe
and also promises aid to countries
who indicate continued nationa
socialization.
Though admitting this may "seen
inconsistent" Mr.. Clayton replied HI

|AAUW Panel old
OF Opportunities
In Nursing Career

The great demand for nursing
service has created almost unprece-
dented opportunities and, response
bilities for the nursing profession,
the executive secretary of the
Nurses Examining Board, Miss
Ethel j. Odegard, told the Wash
ington Branch of the American As
sociation Of University Women yes
terday.
Opportunities are to be found
not only in the area of nursing care
to patients, all important as that
is, but in many other fields" she
said. Some are in mental hygiene,
in industrial nursing, in the field
of maternal and child health pro-
grams"
Miss Odegard was the leader of
panel discussion on Nursing
Education for Nursing Service held
at the AAUW clubhouse Addi-
tional members of the panel were
Miss Edith NJ. Beattie, executive
secretary of the Graduate Nurses
Association; Miss Agnes A. Dix, in
structor in Nursing Education at
Catholic University; Miss Beatrice
E. Ritter, director of the School
of Nursing at Gallinger Hospital,
and Miss Alice c. Stone, assistant
director of the School of Nursing
at st. Elizabeths Hospital.
The discussion brought out that
a million more patients were ad-
mitted to hospitals In 1916 than
in 1945 and that the supply of
nurses failed to meet the demand
although A,500 more graduate
nurses were employed than in the
preceding year and there were ad-
ditional private duty nurses.
The subject was discussed under
two headings, the candidate for the
nursing profession and the oppor-
tunities which await her.
Miss Stone said that the most
important factors to be considered
in regard to the candidate were
graduation from an accredited high
school, assurance that the candidate
ranks well within the upper half of
her high school class, and psyche
metric tests which reveal her apti-
tudes.
Miss Dix, who teaches nurses to
become teachers and administrators
in nursing schools, declared, ut is
even more important to select the
right kind of nurses we wish to
educate to become teachers of
nurses. Whether or mot she intends
to make teaching a life work, the
philosophy which she holds as to
the functions of the nurse in the
community health program are i'm
portant factors in her preparation" "
"A nursing curriculum which is
professional will put more emphasis
on thinking and understanding, on
social attitudes and skills and on
the all-around development Of the
individual student" according to
Miss Ritter, whose responsibility it
is to provide adequate clinical expe-
rience for students. She said that
while the technical element is essen
tial, most schools Of nursing are in
need of a better balance between
this phase of the nurses preparation
and the scientific, cultural and social
aspects.
Miss Beattie emphasized that "a
well-planned program Of guidance
and counseling Is of utmost import

for schools of nursing and in stim-
ulating each student nurse so that
she will develop her potentialities to

Of the Education Committee of the

Hossfeld is chairman.
