The increase Of hospital services
here today was described. as the
District observed National Hospi-

Walter N, Tobriner. president of
the Hospital Council Of the Ma

Gil. to seek ways and means
whereby the best service can be
brought to the largest number
OF people at the lowest possible
costs consistent with accepted
medical standards" said Mr.. To-
briner.
The l3 voluntary hospitals that
belong to the council admitted
lO3,099 patients in l949-an in

of stay, however. declined from

MacArthur's S Order
Protested by Soviet

The Russians have protested to
the United States the order by
Gen. Macarthur committing the
sentence of 16 Japanese war
criminals.
The Soviet Embassy today made
public a copy of a note delivered
to the State Department yester-
day.
The note said Gen. MacArthur's
action constituted "a gross viola
ton of the elementary standards
of the international law" It "in-
sists" that the United States "im-
mediately undertake measures to
abrogate" Gen. MacArthur's order.
The Russian note contends
Gen. MacArthur's action amounts
to provision for parole of war
criminals convicted by the In
ternational Military Tribunal.
The Russians argued in their
note that after the Supreme Com
mander in Japan has approved
the sentences of the international
tribunal he has no power to
change their sentences. ".7~t..

Board Still Available.
The strike started Wednesday
with the union and carriers dead
locked over the issue. Members of

Board remain in Chicago, available
for consultation by either side.
The strike was hitting coal pro-
duction in Western Pennsylvania
and Indiana. With no empty cars
to carry away the mined coal, ID
big mines and several smaller ones
closed in Western Pennsylvania.
The mines have an estimated
combined daily output of $4,000
tons. About $1,000 miners may
be made idle by next week. In
Indiana half of the States coal
mines had closed because of lack
of rail transportation.
Continuation of the strike is ex-
pected to hit hard at other indus
tries. The rail tie-up has affect

markets.

some lines was reported to be
more than could be handled in

First Violence Flares
AS Railroad Strike
Pinches Industry
by the Associated Press

CHICAGO. May IL. - More
thousands of railroad workers
joined the ranks of the idle to-
day-laid of by the deadlocked
firemen's strike against four major
carriers.
Workers in many other key in
dustrieS also were getting lay-off
notices and others were threatened
with forced idleness. The three
day-old strike by $4,000 firemen
appeared to have made idle nearly
zoo, 900 workers already, including
about $50. 900 rail employees.
There wasn't a sign Of peace in
the Nations biggest rail strike
since May, 1946.
There was. however. the first
f1are-up of violence on some of
the strikebound lines.
Acting Fireman Shot.
Shortly after two freight trains
were reported ambushed and fired
on near Knoxville, Tenn, the
Southern Railway lines suspended
all operations in the area. A
spokesman said the move was
made to protect the roads en-
ployes. An acting fireman on one
train was shot in the arm. Pickets
outside the Knoxville switch yards
denied they fired any shots. but
said they were stoned.
There were other minor dis
turbanceS on the strikebound New
York Central lines in two Indiana
cities.
The Southern, the New York
Central and a third struck carrier
the Santa Fe-are operating
only emergency skeleton service.
The Pennsylvania, struck west and
north OF Harrisburg, is not operat
ing in the strikebound area.
$1,000 Get Layoff Slips.
With operations drastically cur
tailed, the Pennsylvania issued
layoff slips to $4,000 employees. The
New York Central, which said u.s.
600 already are idle, planned to
furlough another $4,000 over the
week end.
The Southern Railway estimated
$4,000 of its workers have been
forced into idleness by the strike.
The Santa Fe furloughed several
thousand. as it closed its shops.
but it did not announce the num-
ber of idle.

Police Ambulance Called.
Then they grew silent as 20 or
more people inside the building
pleaded with the girl not to jump.
In windows just below. men tried
to brace themselves to catch her
if she leaped.
Scores of firemen and police
rushed to the scene. Some one
called a police ambulance.
Jeanne jumped at the first
mournful wall of the siren-al-
most as if it were a signal calling
her to her doom.
Her body appeared to float in
the air.
Just below her at the sixth
flor it caroomed off the top of
an open window. And there an
unidentified man reached out and
grabbed an ankle, suspending her
in midair for fraction of a Sec
ond.
Then the flight continued and
the body did a complete somer-
satilt.&@ '..l'''| '-'' ."'..+ ~,
Spectators screamed as she
landed head first on the hood of
an automobile.
The ambulance crew picked her
broken body from the crushed
auto and took her to hospital.
She died within a few minutes
without regaining consciousness.
Attorney Vito j. Rich, just going
to lunch. was the first to spot Miss
Williams as she opened window
and crawled onto the sill from a
corridor near the elevators.
II was dumbfounded. I didn't
know what to think. She said:
Don't get near me-"
The attorney added:
II don't remember just what
said. I just kept telling her that
her troubles weren't that bad.
Then she heard a police siren
and said:
"'Some son of a gun called the
police
She let CO."
Police said they found note in
the. girls purse, addressed to a
girl friend. 1t said:
"Tell every one just couldn't
get by"
Miss Williams mother, Mrs. Mar
garet Williams, said she could
give no reason for her daughter
death but added:
Our JEANNE was very nervous.
