Army Has Need
For 500 Nurses
BY the Associated Press

The Army Medical Service
says it critically needs 500 ad-
ditional nurses because of the
recent buildup of the Army.
1t. Gen. Leonard D. Heaton,
the Army's surgeon general,
said in a statement yesterday:
Our need for additional
nurses is acute, immediate and
vital to sustain our medical
care program. Expansion of
the Army and stepped-up train
ing means more soldier patients
and the strength of the Army
Nurse Corps must keep pace"
The medical service said the
Army hopes to meet the i'm
mediate requirement through
volunteer nurses, mainly young
women and men who have not
yet served in the armed forces.

Bills Sent

BY the Associated Press


Congress has sent to Presi-

signed to strengthen the Gov
ernment's hand in combating
bookmaking and other illegal
gambling.
Both are part of a seven
point legislative program urged
by the Presidents brother, At
torney General Robert F. Ken
nedy, for a stepped-up drive
against underworld syndicates.
Congressional action was
completed yesterday with Sen
ate acceptance of House amend
ments to the bill.
One would make use of in
terstate telephone and tele-
graph lines to transmit gam
bling information a felony
punishable by two years in
prison and a $4,000 fine.
Bona fide news reporting of
sporting events is specifically
exempted. The bill also would
not apply to radio and tele-
vision stations.
The second bill prohibits the
interstate transportation Of
gambling paraphernalia such
as tickets, slips and other ma
terials used in bookmaking,
the numbers game and other
illegal gambling. Violations
are punishable by five years in
prison and a $4,000 fine.

said, the Congress should out
law the manufacture and sale
of this equipment in interstate
commerce" He pointed to tes-
timony that 100000 packs Of
marked cards and 10000 pairs
of loaded dice may be in use
right now.
Jerome S. Alderman. sub
committee counsel, has declined
to say whether the next phase
of the inquiry will deal with
the bribing of athletes to shave
points or to throw games.
Owen (Owney) Madden, the
old New York mobster. invoked
the Fifth Amendment yester-
day when the subcommittee
sought to learn if he now op-
crates a race wire service in
Hot Springs, Ark.

Madden did answer some
questions. Now 68, Madden
said he had given up criminal
activities" and retired, but he
refused to tell from what he
retired. He said that might
incriminate him in some way.
Madden also refused to tell
whether he still is in the race
wire business, and he got a
prompt warning from Senator
Mundt, Republican of South
Dakota, that this didn't mesh
well with his sworn avowal of
a break with crime. Senator
Mundt mentioned perjury laws
Carlos Marcello, named in
testimony as a sinister racketS

from political king-making to
prostitution, failed to show UP
for questioning about his Nola

His lawyer pleaded that
Marcello is i'll, and got a

Mcclellan that Marcello will
be cited for contempt of Con-
gress if he doesn't either come
in for quizzing next Thursday,
or produce a sworn medical
statement that he is too i'll.

II Rail Unions
Ask 25c Pay
Riseby Nov. |
BY the Associated Press

Eleven unions representing
the bulk of the Nations rail-
road workers have demanded a
25-cent an hour pay increase
by November /.
The unions said also that in
order to stem a steady reduction
in rail industry employment
they will seek a requirement of
a six-month advance notice be-
fore any employees can be laid
off.
The unions represent the in
dustry's 100000 incorporating
workers-Such as clerks, freight
handlers and various types of
maintenance crafts. They now
average approximately $3.50 an
hour although rates vary widely.
G. E. Leighty, negotiating
chairman for the unions, said
yesterday they had been short
changed in a 1860 wage settle
ment and have failed to match
wage gains won by other unions
for years.
Mr.. Leigf1ty said the new
labor demands will be served
on the individual railroads to-
day with a request they be
made effective on November /.
Rail negotiations seldom move
that fast, however, and it is
likely to be many months,
probably well into 1862, before
the new demands are settled.
Mr.. Leighty said the rail
unions accepted settlement of
their 1859 demands on the basis
of a 1860 recommendation
from a presidential emergency
board but did so reluctantly.
He said this was done in the
public interest to avoid a major
rail strike but I'VE intend to get
a fair wage settlement" this
year.
The six-month advance no.
tice of worker layoffs was ad-
vanced as a step to curb what
Mr.. Leighty called mass un-
employment in the railroad in
dustry, which today has a
lower number of employees than
at any time since 1890.

ABOUT soon.
Senator Mcclellan ran into
persistent pleading of the Fifth
Amendments protection as he
sought to quiz race wire opera
tors about their business. He
said race wires are "the very
life blood" of bookmaking, and
that hoodlums who run such
enterprises cheat the Govern
ment out of billions of dollars
a year in income and wagering
taxes.
Senator Mcclellan recessed
the hearings until next Thurs
day, when the investigation will
focus on the business of setting
betting odds in horse racing,
basketball, football, baseball
and other sports. The subcom-
mittee already has heard odds
can be rigged-and often are
! in favor of bookmakers.
Hits Crooked Equipment
Before declaring a recess,
Mcclellan said it was a Shame
that Federal law does not for
bid the interstate transportation
of crooked gambling equipment.

Canal Park Has Chance

Prompt approval by the Senate has
made it possible for the House to
complete action at this session on the
bill to create national historical park
along the old Chesapeake & Ohio canal.
In the past the park bill has had con-
troversial provisions that led to failure
of the House to give it approval How
ever, the measure as passed by the
Senate does not have these provisions
and there is a good chance, therefore,
that it will become law before Congress
adjourns. We hope the House will find
time to join the Senate in making the
park a reality.
There had been objection in the
past to clause to bar construction of
dams in the park area and to pro-
vision for parkway through the park
for automobiles. The Senate version
does not authorize a parkway, however,
and there is clause specifically per-
mitting dams or other public works
needed for water supply, flood control or
other purposes Gin the public interest"
This is very important amendment
one that Congress should make certain
is in the final legislation.

Virginio's S Changing Scene

New evidence of Virginia'S gradual
changeover from an essentially agricul-
tural economy to one of growing in
dustrial resources is seen in the appoint
ment of Richard c. Holmquist, General
Electric executive, to the new State
post of Industrial Development Con-
Sultant to the Governor and to the
Virginia Department of Conservation
and Economic Development.
It will be Mr.. Holmquist's job,
beginning September /, to promote
further induStrialization of the State.
He will cooperate with State agencies
and various trade organizations in en-
couraging new factories and other busi-
nesses to establish headquarters or
branches in Virginia. This is a field
in which he is thoroughly experienced,
having specialized in plant location
studies for General Electric for several
years. Even traditionally rural sections
of the State have become interested in
recent years in seeking to bring new
industries into their midst, thus pro-
viding substantial sources of new tax
revenues for depleted county treasures.
IL 0AAc ucuo COlGl1lucS dl1u gains
ground, the time may come when smoke
stacks will replace silos and windmills in
many farming areas and, with new en-
ployment opportunities, it will be hard
to keep the country boys down on the
farm. While many Virginians will regret
the changing landscape and conditions,
they will realize the necessity for keeping
their State abreast of industrial growth
in neighboring jurisdictions. Virginia
cannot afford to lag in the economic

Appeal for Shrine

The Star of August 4
carried a dispatch from the
Associated Press stating that
Maryland Congressman have
redoubled their efforts to
obtain a tiny island in the
Potomac River from the Fed
eral Government for a State
shrine" For the record, we
wish to state that the st.
Marys County (Md.) His
torical Society has engaged
in an uphill fight for the past
10 years to save historic st.
Clements (Blackistone) Is
land from extinction. Here
the Maryland Pilgrims in
March, 1884, proclaimed and
established religious tolera-
ton in this land at a time
when religious liberty was
being ruthleSSly crushed in
the mother country. Father
Andrew White, Sd, recorded
in his account Of the voyage
and settlement of Maryland
that the island contained
400 acres at that time. Over
the centuries erosion has
taken its toll and the island
now has been reduced to
about 40 acres, which con-
tinues to erode at an alarm
ing rate.
Unless something is done,
and done soon, the great
cross erected in 1884 during
the tercentenary celebration
OF the founding Of Maryland
will in a few years topple into
the Potomac. It Is the hope
OF our society, that the Mary
land Historical Society, the
historical societies of every
county of Maryland, and
many Of the other church
and patriotic societies will
lend a hand to preserve and
create q fitting shrine on this
historic spot. Virginia has
her jamestown and Massa-
chusetts her Plymouth Rock
shall Maryland fail to save
and mark the spot where the
greatest step was taken to
secure the complete freedom
Of man? We hope not, but
our congressional represent
atives need the support of all
to accomplish this objective.

Civil War Games

The idea OF commemora rating
the Civil War is as absurd as
would be the idea Of COM
memorating the destruction
of Lidice. Why do we COM
memorate one of the blood
lest conflicts in history, q con-
flict where brother was allied
against brother and State
against State?
Actually, it was largely the
effort Of John Brown that
freed the slaves. and John
Brown has been almost for
gotten in the commercial
melodrama that threw q lot
Of uniforms and cannons into
a shindig that proved moth
ing except the fortitude Of
local citizens and visiting
foreigners who could stand
the heat and humidity, plus
the ability of a stupid popu-
lace to run up expenses they
could very well do without.
AS the grandson Of a Con-
federate veteran, I think a
lot of people have rocks in
their heads in regard to the
Civil War. It is time the idea
Of a militarist utopia should
be conked on the head. I say
this as a veteran of World
War II, who had four years
Of military life and considers
such a life to be just about
the bottom Of human intel
ligence. If there is a maxi
mum of stupid development,
it is the idea that military
government and military lead
ers have anything good to
offer so-called civilized civil
lization. The military want
war; that is their only reason
for existence. To commemo-
rate war is to glorify one Of
the greatest evils of ancient
and modern civilizations. To
be ignorant of the military
expeditions of this country
would be a blessing to future
citizens. Except for the Revo-
lutionary War we have no
military ventures worth re-
membering. Wilbur P0therby.
