the release of Harden for lack of
evidence. The evidence presented
to his office showed clearly, in
O'Hara's opinion, a case where
the accused man used reasonable
means to protect HIMSELF. De-
tense attorneys David Weinberg
and Ralph Gross produced witness
es whotold the Court that Harden
was attacked by Miles first and
that Harden acted only in self
defense against a bigger and
stronger man who had hit him and
was strangling him at the time of
the stabbing. O'Hara also told of
the death bed statement of Miles
admitting he was the aggressor
in the tussle.

Police Area To

Clean

CHICAGO, Ill: (ANP)- To the
millions of CPS and ex-GI's, po-
Icing the area is a very familiar
term referring to a specific duty.
This summer in Chicago, this term
has invaded civilian life.
Today, some 60 boys, 8 to IL
years old, do an excellent job of
policing one of Chicago's famous
boulevards, Drezel between Oak
wood boulevard and 43rd street.
They keep this historic street as
clean as many of the better army
camps.
Sponsored by the Ken-Oak I'm
prevement association and the
Fifth District (police) Juvenile
club, these boys meet every Thurs
day at the area Congregational
church. Mrs. Gertrude McWhort-
er and Mrs. Marie Shannon Dab
ney are co-chairmen of the group
for Ken-Oak association.
Their aim is to keep the boule-
ward attractive and clean. Mrs.
Dabney says:
"Our object in policing the
parkway is twofold. This is a
crowded neighborhood, so the
cleaner we can keep the parkway
the more people can enjoy it. AL
SO, if our boys clean it, they learn

Army Needs
More Nurses

WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
U. S. Army last week issued a call
for $50 more nurses, 70 dietici-
ans, 40 physical therapists, and
65 occupational therapists to bring
the Army Nurse Corps and Wo-
mems Medical Specialist Corps up
to full strength.
The army also asked for the
passage Of a bill which would al
low women doctors to serve in the
Medical Corps on the same basis
as men. In World War II women
served only as members of the W.
AC and limited their services to
WACs.
The latter move was asked, &C
cording to army spokesman, be-
cause there is a shortage of doct-
ors in the medical corps.
On the question of nurses, the
army recommended that women
serving during the past war, but
holding reserve commissions re-
enlist in the reserves and stimuli
taneously ask for active duty.

'Di|l introduced In House For
Of Male Nurses
Armed Forces

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Mrs.
Frances P. Bolton, Republican
representative from Ohio, intro
!uced a bill last week to include
male nurses in the army, navy
and air force nurse corps and the
medical specialist corps.
In introducing the bill, Mrs.
Bolton pointed out that the armed
services have never given COM
missions to men who had full nurs-
ing training, but had used them
as corpsmen, wardmen and specia-
lists of various kinds, with the
rating of enlisted men.
During World War II, the serv-
ces were disinclined to include
men in the nurse coprs, said the
Ohio Congresswoman, "but I am
happy to say that apparently
their point of view is now chang
ed. The Surgeons General Of the
army and navy have approved
this bill and they are in favor of

its quick passage" The measure
was referred to the House Armed
Services committee.
81 am glad to see hat the SER
vices now realize that male nur-
ses have a very definite part to
play in the nurse corps and are
heartily behind such a move,"
Mrs. Bolton said further. "There
were approximately 1000 male
nurses used in these other capaci-
ties in the armed forces during
the last year, none ofthem as COM
missioned officers in the nurse
corps. These men are badly need
ed as nurses today, especially in
the light of the kind of wal that
is being fought in Korea. Equali-
ty works both ways, and male
nurses are entitled to the same
status and privileges accorded
women"
The army nurse corps has an

ed) for 1850 is 2,778 compared
to 3,201 for the same period last
year. Of these Class / Offenses
tries this year, guilty verdicts
have been returned on $3.50 of
the cases, 1870 more than 1949.
This recalls the efforts on the
part of west side groups to OBJ
tain more stringent penalties for
crimes of violence against persons.
Traffic injuries have increased
through July 1859 with 252, COM
pared with 234 in 1949. On the
brighter side only 9 persons, Z
of them pedestrians, were killed
through July this year compared
to 10 in the same period last year.
There have been more ambulance
runs, but fewer missing persons
SO far this year.
During July the civil service
board interviewed GOT applicants
for jobs. This also recalls the eff
forts of the Daily EXPRESS and
the Dayton Urban League in per-
suading citizens of the opportuni-
ties in the state, federal and NUM-
cipal civil service.

Proving Benifcu|

In his monthly progress report
to the city commission, City Man
ager reported that as a result of
the restoration of the municipal
income tax, 298 new employees
were added to the city govern
ment.
The progress report is made

to give the city commission and

nation on the progress of the vari-
ous city departments and activi-

Included in the highlights of
he accomplishments was the in

that communicable disease Incl

the measles exposure treatment
