Need OF Personnel
To Open 200 Beds for
1uberculars Reported

Increased nursing and medical
personnel would make 1t possible
for Washington's four tuberculosis
hospitals to open 200 urgently
needed beds to take care of all
waiting list" patients who need
immediate disqualification, accord
ing to a survey prepared for the
District tuberculosis Association.
Miss Elizabeth Ulrich, assistant
professor of the School of Nursing
Education, Catholic University, who
made the study, described the needs
at an all-day meeting at Glenn
Dale Sanatorium yesterday. The
meeting was sponsored by tuber-
culosis associations Of the District
and nearby Maryland and Virginia
counties.
Miss Ulrich included Glenn Dale,
Gallinger, Freedmen's and the Up
shur Street Hospital in the survey.
The two largest hospitals (Gal-
linger and Glenn Dale, she said,
need l21 more nursing personnel

Hand-washing facilities at three
Of the four hospitals, she said,
needed to prevent spread of the
disease to personnel, also are in

with adequate personnel and
facilities" she said, "our hospitals
could not only provide better nurs-
ing care but could make available
at least 200 more beds. This would
take care of the 113 patients on the
waiting list"
Miss Esta McNett, Veterans Ad-
ministration nursing specialist,
urged nursing schools to include
experience with tuberculosis patients
in the training of every student
nurse in the District"
In another address, DR.. Karl
Welte, director of tuberculosis con-
troll for Montgomery County. Nd,
proposed that all persons over IA
who are In contact with active tu-
berculoeiS victims be vaccinated
with B. G. G.
B. G. G. Is o vaccine-used widely
In other nations-which doctors
said has given immunization protec-
ton In certain cases. It is being
produced in laboratories now for
experimental projects Of the Public
Health Service at several key points
throughout the country.
DR.. A. Barklie Coulter, director of
the District Health Department Tu-
berculosis Bureau, said there are no
plans for use of the vaccine here,
primarily because not enough is yet
known about its use and results.
The initials B. c. G. stand for
bacillus Of Calmette and Guerin,
two French scientists who developed
1t In 1921. The vaccine is composed
Of q nonvirulent strain Of germ de-
veloped from tuberculosis in COWS.
Dr.. Coulter revealed that 235
tuberculosis patients uncovered by
the recent mass chest survey have
been admitted to hospitals since the
drive began. While victims of the
disease were being brought to light
by the survey, however, the bureau
uncovered 975 new cases through
other means, the director said.
DR.. Coulter was elected president
Of the tuberculosis Conference,
which meets twice year. DR.. Welte
was named vice president.

To the list Of the kings men

that the Ohioan can have no real
desire to reassemble the general. He
has served his purpose, so far as
Senator Taft is concerned. He has
helped def1ate Gov. Dewey, as he
was expected to do, in the State that
Gov. Dewey had twice been able to

Prophets Erred Badly.
It has been an interesting ex-
perience, not only for the general,
but for professional political proph-
cts, including the present writer
who came boldly forth weeks ago
with the prediction that Gen. Mac
Arthur never would meet his politi-
cal Waterloo in Wisconsin. AS the
day approached when the voters
would take the situation into, their

eminently sound. AL the noise

am not mistaken, were grenades.
There are a few men In each
town, however, who do not want to
see the neighboring cities go to
war. They are working feverishly
fer peace by the way Of compromise.
AS they see It, Dallas must have
its airport, and Fort Worth must
have its airport.
One of them explained 1t to me
this way:

Mr.. Stassen has propelled him
self back into the Presidential pic
ture after months OF doldrums and
it is popular outcome because of
his gallant, persevering fight against
the odds. But he still lacks the
striking power to capture the
nomination unless he can produce
similar triumphs In Nebraska,
Ohio and Oregon.
He is entitled to fresh hope on
the basis of Tuesdays showing but
present reports are that the cards
don't lie that way.
Significance Of Victory.
The significance of his Wisconsin
win lies both in what he has done
for Senator Vandenberg and what
he has done to Gen. Macarthur
and Gov. Dewey. BY indirection
this represents damage to Senator
Taft and Speaker Martin also.
For Senator Vandenberg he has
proved that even in so-called iso-
lationist Wisconsin, graveyard of
Wendell WILKES 1914 hopes, peo-
pie approve a constructive inter-
nationalism 1t is true that other
factors favored him. In a primary
fight God is on the side of the best
and Mr.. Stassen had
the most respected, shrewdest and
best-heeled party operators with
him. He also was a neighbor and
Wisconsin folks share his own
racial strains
Nevertheless, had Mr.. Stassen
trailed. the internationalist wing of
the party would have been dealt a
blow on which other camps would
have capitalized.
AS 1t is, he has dive-bombed Gov.
Dewey and his near-miss on Gen.
Macarthur probably means the end
Of that budding candidacy.
One setback does not unmake a
political career and Gov. Dewey still
leads the field with a handsome
f1stful of delegates for the fateful
first roll call at Philadelphia. But
his prestige is tarnished, the more
so because Wisconsin was a milk
run for him in 40 and ~. His
personal appearances have served
to dramatize the debacle.
II Gov. Dewey were a warmer and
more human character, a reverse or
two would bind his supporters more
closely to him. But he lacks the
power to evoke sympathy and IL,

called on him to come out and speak
for himself that question was settled.
A lot of lessons doubtless can be
learned from the Wisconsin debacle.
One that may be overlooked is that
a man is sometimes judged by the
company he keeps. Conceivably
the folks in Wisconsin did not like
the political company that had
gathered around the five-star can
didate.
For Mr.. Stassen the victory has
untold value. It makes him q major
candidate on par with Gov. Dewey
and Senator Taft, which he never
before had been considered to be.
It gives him a firmer grip on the
delegates he already has won and
will help him to nail down some
of those he and his friends have
been claiming. Gen. Macarthur
had been built up to be unbeatable
and Mr.. Stassen beat him. So MIR.
Stassen will be in that Philadel-
phia battle royal trading punches
with the champions, not sliding
around the edges Of the ring wait
ing for one of the others to fall.
Three -Cornered Dogfall.
Which will be fine for Mr.. Stas-
sen, since it gives greater impor-
tance to his candidacy. Which will
be fine, that is to say, unless it
results in a three-cornered dogfall,
whereby he is eliminated along
with Gov. Dewey and Senator Taft.
And that is today's prediction. The
three leading candidates are likely
to do just that to one another, leav-
ing the field to a compromise can
didate in the traditional manner.
OF course, Mr.. Stassen's candidacy
may now begin to take on more of
the color of Wendell WILKES, as
his hackers and supporters have
claimed that 1t would In due time.
With the same big money backing
that Willkie had, he has every
reason to stay in for the finish and
to keep pounding away from State
to State, making himself the symbol
Of a popular movement, q, peoples
choice that cannot be disregarded.
Meantime it would be nice to
know what another flve-starred gen.
eral Is thinking. II Gen. Eisenhower
has sent a message Of coincidence
to Gen. Macarthur he probably
won't mention 1t. In any event, the
word has come from Tokyo that

weren't, clerks would have to sell
tickets from behind sandbag count
ers, mattresses would have to wear
fax suits. and the National Guard

Another cool-headed Texan had
this to say to me-
The war between Dallas and
Fort Worth is downright crazy, for
this reason: Let a Dallas man ger

fight the first native Of any other
State who dares say a word against
Fort Worth. The same goes for a

kCo<Os
Careful analysis OF the Russian
Finnish pact shows that it does not
differ substantially from that which
the Firms were compelled to sign
with Hitler. The present treaty
provides that 'Finland's military
forces are obligated to fight only
on Finnish soil and not to serve
elsewhere in the Soviet sphere or
to defend the Soviet Union from
attack elsewhere"
Nazi Treaty Recalled.
The Nazi-Finnish treaty had a
similar clause, worded differently.
Never during World War II, when
Finland was associated with Ger
many against the Soviet Union,
did the Finnish Army fight any dis
tance from its own territory. A
determined Finnish attack against
Leningrad at the time when that
city was besieged by the Germans
would have doomed that city.
The big catch, however, is in the
declaration that the defensive
agreement will come into effect only
in the event "of an attack on Fin
land or the Soviet territory
through Finland by Germany or a
state allied to Germany"
On the surface 1t would appear
that the powerful U. S. S. R., with
nearly 200 divisions at its disposal
and an enormous military potential
supporting them, is still afraid of
downtrodden and crushed Germany.
This Is not the case, however,
and the words "a state allied to
Germany" makes it clear. Moscow
foresees that in the near future

run on his political bank ever really
got started, a lot of his depositors
would rush to get in line. Rather
noticeably he has been failing to
acquire new strength; he can i'll af-
ford to lose what he has been count
ing on.
Representative Miller of Nebraska,
"a Macarthur spokesman, comedies
the general Is out. Warren Wright,
national Macarthur manager, says
no, but the kind of showing the gen.
eraI made in Wisconsin is not much
of a magnet for The cold cash heed
ed for campaigns. Nor can Gen.
Macarthur lay claim now to an
overwhelming public demand for his
services.
Gen. MacArthur's strength was
largely rooted among elements sup
porting Senator Taft. Senator Taft's
aides put it that Gen. Macarthur
was running interference" for them
against Gov. Dewey. They expected
to cooperate with Macarthur dele
gates to their mutual advantage;
some suggested q Taft-MacArthur
ticket.
Taft Has Not Gained.
But Senator Taft has not gained
via the Macarthur route and Gov.
Dewey instead of shooting up has
been pulled down toward Senator
Taft. The convention deadlock
seems a little more certain and on a
slightly lower level than before.
Significantly, Mr.. Stassen has
praised Senator Vandenberg warmly
and often. He has said he would
not run with Gov. Dewey and he has
entered the Ohio primary, he said,
to draw the line between what he
believes and what Senator Taft
stands for.
The Speaker shares the foremost
dark horse spot with Senator Van
denberg. What profits one hurts the
other. It also can be said generally
that any turn away from the right
Injuries Speaker Martins chances to
be the compromise candidate.
The Wisconsin picture will be url-
derlined or altered next Tuesday in
Nebraska where Mr.. Stassen, Gov.
Dewey and Senator Taft are the
leaders in a field Of seven. Should
the Minnesotan repeat there, again
it would be at the expense of Gov.
Dewey and Senator Taft and serve
to sharpen the conclusions drawn
from the Wisconsin results. But 1t
Is also their chance to knock his
newly won laurels askew.
