The construction of this big blimp will
help to keep alive Americas lighter than
air industry, which has suffered keenly
from the accidents which befell Navy
dirigibles before the war. Attempts to
interest Congress in reviving the industry
through subsidies have failed in the past.
And there seems little chance of future
revival in view of the lack of interest in
rigid airships on the part of the Army,
Navy and Air Force. However, the Presi-
dents Air Policy Commission reported that
"a case has been presented for the large
airship as an economical means of long
range transport for commercial passengers
and cargo" Congress last year passed a
bill to authorize the Maritime Commission
to study the commercial possibilities of
rigid airships but the measure failed by
the pocket-veto method. Thus, regardless
of what progress the blimp may make,
there seems to be little likelihood of any
thing being done about reviving the rigid
hips in the near future.

Nurses Employment Problems

Nurses Employment Problems
To the Editor of The Star:
If the powers that be in the nursing pro-
feSSion would stop scratching their heads
and pondering what is wrong with the
nursing situation" long enough to sound out
the ones most commemorative nurses-they
might be enlightened.
A few months ago they abruptly an
nounced that no nurse could hold or expect
to be promoted to better position in any
hospital (such as head nurse or supervisory
unless she had B. S. degree in nursing.
No matter how long she had been doing this
same work, she would be replaced by nurse
who had a B. S., even though the nurse re-
placing her had had no experience at all in
the work. believe am safe in saying that
the nursing profession is the only profession
that does not consider experience as basis
for promotion.
Naturally, nurses resigned in droves rather
than be fired.
I agree that higher education is fine.
have had some postgraduate work and know
from experience that it is not necessary to
have an additional degree other than r. N.
to do a first-class job as supervising or
head nurse. Mr.. Truman seems to be doing
all right with only a high school education.
The doctor who is so vitally concerned
with the shortage of nurses has made only
a feeble attempt to do something about the
prevailing situation. A few nurses are trying
to carry the heavy hospital load without
even the incentive that they can be pro-
NOTED. The public should be aroused as they
suffer and complain that the care has to be
spread SO thin.
would suggest that everybody should be
Informed about the unreasonable restric-
tions that are put on the nurses before they
are enacted. Aptitude, industry, under
standing, three years of hard study in theory
and practice beside compassion for mans
suffering means nought If nurse hasn't q
B. S. degree besides her r. N. degree.
1t would be well for the Civil Service Com
mission to investigate the hiring of nurses
who successfully have passed competitive
examinations and see if the same situation
does not exist in the hiring of nurses in
Government agencies.
AS in all major problems. it behooves us
to look at the top for the trouble. Again
public opinion can help. The problem is
serious and getting no better, and we all
want our loved ones to have good care when
they are i'll.
With all loyalty to my profession could
not under these circumstances encourage
any young girl to go in training as a nurse,
who would be forced to work the clock
around, with no week ends of, no chance

additional years in study after she has al
ready spent three long years and has taken
and successfully passed State board exam
lnation and been licensed by her State to

Fewer Accidents

The report of the National Safety Coun-
cil showing that the death rate from
accidents in 1948 was lower than in any
other year for which records are available,
justifies the hope that this is becoming a
safer country.
There is, of course, still no room for
complacency. The accidental death rate
in 194S was 671 per 100000. The previous
low rate was 68.4 in 1921. This is encour-
aging, but when one considers that acci-
dents took the lives of $4,000 people in this
country last year, it is evident that much
remains to be done in the field of safety
education.
Especially encouraging was the decline
The 1948 toll of $4,000 auto deaths re-
manned shockingly high, but the trend was
downward and the rate of auto deaths in
relation to distance Travelled was at an
all-time low. This improvement may be
due in part to the fact that more new and
better cars are becoming available with
an accompanying retirement from the
road of old and unsafe cars. Another and
related factor probably has been the post
war revival in many States of auto inspec-
tions designed to ban from the road cars
that are mechanically unsafe. 1t is rea-
sonable to assume, however, that the
driver, not the car, remains the most i'm
portant factor in auto safety, and the
councils report points to the conclusion
that the driving is getting better. Stricter
examinations for drivers licenses helps to
this end, but the main hope must continue
to lie in safety education.
In only one category-that of fatal acci-
dents in the home-was higher death toll
recorded in 1s48, nearly $4,000 people being
listed as victims of fatal home accidents.
Here is field in which education can and
should play vital part. 1t ought by all
means to be intensified.

Hond-to-Mouth Budgeting

Testimony by municipal officials at the
local tax hearings becomes monotonouS
by repetition. They are going over the
same ground covered last year. The only
difference is that the deficit they were
talking about last year has grown larger
because of Congressional inaction. So they
are trying to dig deeper to raise more
money.
Budget Officer Fowler now makes a
definite recommendation for $4,0O0O 900
increase in the Federal payment That
would bring it to $16,00000O. The sixteen
million roughly corresponds with what the
Federal Government would pay, at pre-
yailing rates and assessments, on its tax
exempt real estate in Washington. But it
Is not asked on such grounds. The money
is needed, Mr. Fowler argues, to supplement
heavy tax increases proposed to meet the
extraordinary increase in local govern
ment costs that will result this year and
next from the proposed-and completely
iustifed-increaSe in municipal salaries
to put them on par with Federal salaries.
The increase in the lump sum would
accompany boost of about $14,000OO0 in
local taxes and Mr.. Fowler sugars the pill
for Uncle Sam by proposing that the
s4OOO,OOO raise in the Federal payment
be regarded as temporary, for one year
only. If granted by Congress, the tempo
rary increase would represent helpful
expedient It would amount to little more
than that. For at the rate the cost OF
local government is growing even the
drastic tax increases now in prospect will
do little more than cover mere costs of
operation.
That is one of the most battling aspects
Of the Districts financial problem. Every
thing now being discussed in connection
with the heavy increase in local taxes Is
on a sort of hand-to-mouth basis. No
mention has yet been made in the hearings
of the best method of meeting the stagger-
ing costs of such new construction as the
school ol-building program, estimated In the
recent Strayer report as amounting TO
about $38,00O,0O0. That report advocated
a Government, interest-free loan as the
practical method of financing an under
taking that cannot be handled on any
pay-as-you-go basis.
It Is to be taken for granted that the
Joint Fiscal Subcommittee will attempt to
combine, with its decisions On increases IN
the Federal payment and local taxes, some
consideration Of long-range construction
needs. The question is not merely one OF
piling on new tax increases to balance the
current budget; it also involves an orderly
plan of financing permanent improve
ments needed now, by spreading their cost
over the years in which they will be used.
The money is going to be hard to get
from any current crop of taxpayers.

One-Pockoqe Appropriations

The bipartisan proposal to lump all
Government appropriations into one
package" has much to commend 1t. 1t
would put an end to piecemeal appropri-
'ating under system which gives Congress
no overall picture of how much of a
load it is putting on the Treasury until
the last supply bill is passed. No success
full business enterprise would tolerate SUCH
a risky spending system, lest 1T go bank
rupt
Congress has sought to bring more order
into it's appropriation work through
legislative budget plan This has not
proved very practicable, however, because
of the difficulty of estimating appropria-
tions before the needs of the departments
are fully determined. Congress continues
to do it's spending without full knowledge
of what the total bill will be-or how it
will be paid.
Chairman Cannon of the House Appro-
priations Committee has sought to improve
the system by having all subcommittee
hold simultaneous hearings on the dozen
or more supply bills This has been i'm
possible in the past because committee
members frequently served on more than
one subcommittee. BY limiting each men,
ber to service on one subcommittee, how
ever, Mr.. Cannon has paved the way for
all appropriation subcommittee to meet
at the same time. There is good pros
pect, therefore, that many of the major
appropriation bills will be ready for House
consideration early in the session, instead
of being scattered over many months.
This is step in the right direction.
But the omnibus appropriation bill plan
sponsored by Senators Byrd, O'Conor and
Gillette, Democrats, and Butler, Bridges
and Knowland, Republicans, would go
much further Hearings would be held
before the usual committees and subcom-
mittees, but instead of reporting each Of
the spending measures one by one, all Of
them would be combined into one bill be-
fore introduction. This single package"
would give Congress the complete Gov
ernment expense account so that there
could be no misunderstanding as to how
much revenue would have to be raised. A
simple change in the rules would accom-
plish this far-reaching reform.
similar proposal was reported unani-
mously by the Senate Rules Committee

Comeback of the BIimp

The threat of a submarine sneak
attack on the United States in future
war has served to restore lighter-than-alr
aviation to favor with the Navy. Although
huge rigid airships of the Zeppelin type
have been discarded, apparently for good,
the nonrigid blimp is staging comeback
in naval circles. 1t may have more
important role to play in some future con-
fict than it had in World War II, when
1t was used for antisubmarine recon-
naiSsance.
The blimp was retained as an anti
submarine weapon after the war despite
the opposition of some officers who argued
that 1t had proved to be too vulnerable
to submarine attack This feeling arose
from the fact that blimp was shot down
by a German U-boat off Florida. On the
other hand, the several blimp Squadrons
performed we'll in providing observation
"cover" for conveys in the North Atlantic,
despite inadequate detection equipment
and weapons.
Now, it has been disclosed, the Navy plans
to build a blimp about twice as large as
those used during the war and hence able
to carry more equipment and more arms.
It will be over 300 feet long, with an 81
foot-long control car, but still only about
half the size of the great dirigibles Akron
and Macon, which were wrecked in peace
time training operations. Secretary Sui
livan in his recent annual report said
that the Navy decided in July, 1947,
to continue its lighter than-air program
as a part of the antisubmarine warfare
plans "T1ne problems of countering new
type submarines are such," he said, that
no possibility should be overlooked, and
lighter -than-air craft possess characters
tics which offer very definite advantages" +"
The new-type submarines referred to
are, presumably, the schnorkel-equipped
long-range submersibles devised by the
Germans and now being turned out IN
quantities by the Russians, according to
reliable reports. These dangerous craft
can proceed at high speed under water for
great distances. Spotting them is diff
cult task. Apparently the new blimp will
be large enough to carry latest radar and
other detection devices Being able to
Aover over one spot for long periods, care

What Next in Greece?

Two recent events, though antithetical
in character, combine to indicate an IN
tensifcation of Greece's interminable civil
war. One of these is a Strengthening OF
the Greek government and Army high
command. The other is a shake-up OF
the rebel regime resulting in more dynamic
and aggressive leadership. The logical
expectation is a tougher test OF strength
between the opposing forces as soon as
the coming of spring facilitates military
operations. For it should be remembered
that over most of mountainous Greece
the severe winter season hampers fighting
on large scale.
Although the new Greek cabinet again
is nominally led by the aged and alling
Premier Sophoulis, 1t contains stronger
elements than its predecessor and is
pledged to financial reform which should
better the economic situation. Even more
important is the appointment OF General
Alexander Papagos to the supreme COM
mand of the Greek Army. Admittedly
Greece's ablest soldier, General PapagoS
consented to serve only if given free
hand and an end to all political interfer-
ence in military matters. This indicates
a strengthening of the government side.
But the rebels are likewise closing their
ranks and preparing for action. Although
we do not yet know what caused the dep
osition of the rebel commander, MarkoS
Vafades, we do know that his successor,
John Ioannides, is probably the hardest
hitting and most intransigeant choice that
could have been made. A veteran terror
ist, Ioannides is the incarnation OF ruth
less, fanatical communism. Bloodthlrsty
and merciless he has long headed the
supersecret disciplinary group which has
fe-and-death power over all members OF
the Greek Communist Party, his job hav-
ing been to eliminate" all "deviationists"
from the party line" He is likewise
known to have always been on the best
of terms with Dimitrov, the Communist
boss of Bulgaria, high up in the COMM
tern. It can therefore be taken for granted
that Greek communism is now completely
subservient to Moscow's directives, acting
through the Cominform. And the choice
of Ioannides for leadership implies that
Moscow wants the maximum trouble In
Greece from now on. This, in fact, is
categorically stated by the rebel pro-
nouncement over its secret radio, which
promises more aggressive warfare instead
of the hit-and-run tactics previously en-
ployed. II this promise is to be lived up to
the rebels should be expecting outside
aid on a considerable scale. And that aid
normally should come via Bulgaria, now
that Marshal Tito seems to be adopting
more aloof attitude toward the Greek
Del Nf teal De ~
strong enough to fill the bill. The con-
clusion is that the assistance will come
largely from Cominform sources with re-
mote Russian backing.
If these surmises be correct, the Greek
problem will soon enter a more critical
phase, with all that this may imply for
us in our maintenance of the Greek Ma
tional Government against the Communist
challenge Confirmation should come with
the spring, few weeks hence.

during the 8Oth Congress, but it died with
the session. The plan seems so sensible
that it should not be allowed to die again
without at least careful consideration of
its obvious advantages. Any workable
system that will enable Congress to spend
the taxpayers money more intelligently
and which therefore holds promise of
substantial savings should be investigated
by both houses.
