Home NURSING
Plan Is Aim Of
Chest Group
Combined Service
Seen as Potential
Long-Term Goal

A combined service of nursing
the sick at home, jointly admin
istered and financed by the
Health Department and the Wis.,
iting Nurse Association, was seen
as a potential long-term goal''
by a special United Community
Services committee today.
Meanwhile, the UCS group
said, the two agencies should set
up committe to coordinate
their respective services in the
field.
While a combination service
Is not considered feasible now,
integrated operation should re-
ceive continued study by the
interested agencies and the pro-
posed co-ordinating committee.
the report said.
To Consider Report.
The UCS Special Committee
on Nursing Care Of the Sick at
Home was established in March,
1852, to make q study and rec
ommend the most effective plan
for the service. Its report was
to be considered today by the
UCS health section.
The Health Department and
the Visiting Nurse Association
have been engaged in a long
controversy over contracts for
the care Of patients on public
assistance by the association.
For the last two fiscal years
Congress has earmarked SOS. 900
I in the Health Department budget
to pay the association for such
care.
So far the association has re-
ceived only $4,000 in payment,
although 1t has gone on caring
for public assistance patients re-
ferred to it. Largely supported
by the Community Chest. the as
ISOLATION does about 80 per cent
Of all its work free of charge.
Against Absolute Amount.
The UCS committee said that
the $4,000 figure should not be
absolute" for future payment OF
the association for care of So
called tax eligible" patients, but
the amount should be based on
the latest actual experience in
volumes and cost.
The committees research
however, indicated that the diff
flculty was more than a simple
budget problem.
Besides representatives Of the
agencies involved. the co-ordi-
mating committee would include
one each from the Commission
ers' Public Health Advisory
Council, District Medical Society
Medico-C hirurgical Society and
Graduate Nurses Association. as
well as two lay public members.
1t was recommended also that
the UCS Health Section explore
the possibility Of broadening
coverage under group hospitals
zation and prepaid medical and
surgical insurance plans to in
clude nursing service in the
home.

Mr.. Dollar said in the District
there is one cab for every 80 resi-

said. is one cab per 1900 persons.
Mr.. Glenn said the present UNI

driver is not making a decent

has 10.707 licensed cabs and
that the move for limitation

from Mr.. Frye. who said both

with a protest that Congress for

for measuring cab fares.
Mr.. Grille voiced fear that II

Solicitor To
Decide On
Murder Arrest

CLEVELAND. R-rhe solicitor of
suburban Bay Village was cit" to-
day in the tag game characteriz-
ing the shifting responsibility in
the Marilyn Sheppard murder case.
Facing Solicitor Richard Wey-
gandt as it has faced others was
the problem of whether an arrest
should be made in the fatal blud-
geoning of the wife of osteopath
Samuel H. Sheppard last July 4.
After comforting with the SUBJ
urb's Mayor ]. Spencer Houk, Wey-
gandt declared:
81 do not have enough informa-
ton to satisfy me that an arrest
should be made now"
No Decision
Weygandt told a reporter last
night he had made no decision in
the matter, although he said the
ACCESSIBILITY of arresting DR.. Shep-
pard was discussed yesterday at
a meeting with top county law en-
forcement officials.
Cleveland Police Chief Frank W.
Story, whose men took over the
investigation for a time, said
Wednesday he didn't believe pres
ent findings justified an arrest.
Story complained previously his
department was called into the
case after the trail was cold and
too late to gain the benefits of a
quick arrest and questioning.

USO Groups Reports
On Years Work

During the past year, nearly IA
million residents, many of them
servicemen and women, of more
than 10000 American communities
and IS foreign countries, who found
themselves away from home and
in need of assistance, turned up
at Travellers Aid desks across the
nation, according to a dispatch
received by Mayor c. B. Harvey,
chairman of the Key West USO
Committee.
A study recently made public by
the National Travellers Aid Asso-
citation reveals that more Pennsyl-
vanians than live in Johnstown,
more Californians than live in Pa
sedena, and more Kansans than
live in Atchison stopped at the sign
of the blue-and-white Travellers
Aid lamp in railroad terminals, bus
depots and airports during the r.
month period in search of infor-
nation, assistance and guidance.
They came from u. S. localities
ranging from Abbot Village. Ne /,
to Zllah, Wash, and from Ada,
Mimi, to Zwolle, La.
Many Aided
Twenty-seven major urban CEN
tiers, including Cleveland, Chatta-
nooga, Seattle, Pittsburg and Mia
mi, had a larger number of resi-
dents being helped away from
home than the total number of
strangers helped by each city's To-
cal Travellers Aid Society, the re-
port states.
While most of the persons seek
ing Travellers Aid help had simple
requests for information or direc-

Bad Check ArtiSt Gets
Second S1x:M0ntb Term
Albert Puryear Due
At RaifOrd After
Jail Stay Here

A soft-spoken bad check
artist with a long criminal
record was handed a second
six-month term in the coun-
ty jail Thursday when he
pleaded guilty to passing a
$25 worthless check in a To-
cal bookstore.
The man, identified as Albert P.
Puryear, had been sentenced last
week to another six-month term by
Criminal Court Judge Thomas S.
Caro-. That charge involved a $40
fraudulent check which he admitted
passing in a local store.
Unfinished Sentence
And when Puryear finishes his
year in the county Jail, he will be
returned to the Florida State Pri-
son at Raiford to serve out a five
year term there. He had been SEN
fenced to five years in Palm Beach

charge. He escaped from . state
road camp at DeLand on July 3.
He was arrested in Key West
just five days later by the sheriff S
department.
During his short-lived period Of
freedom, he has passed several
bad checks using the name Of
George D. Morris. He had stolen
several credit cards from a man
bearing that name in an Orlando
hotel.
His criminal record dates back
to 1871, the sheriffs department
said. He had been sentenced to IA
year terms in California's San
Quentin prison and the Idaho State
Prison.
