lis, administrator of Southside

Willis said the theme Of Ma

was a well-chosen phrase. The
theme is "Your Hospital go.
Uniting Science and Pa
tent Care
During 1861, Southside Conn
munity Hospital admitted 3.425
patients who stayed an average
of rs days. Most patients be-
come familiar chiefly with nur-
ses, maids and orderlies, but if
they could see the behind the
scenes functioning of the various
departments they would realize
what great scientific and human
resources are at their service"
Unseen Workers
Many persons do not realize
that like most hospitals, South
side Community Hospital has
far more people guilty at work
than are in the rooms as pa
tients. The Hospitals LOG full
time permanent workers, plus
part-time help, frequently rep
resents double the daily load of
patients, Willis said.
In fact, keeping the human re-
sources at work to translate
scientific advances into service
to patient comprises nearly so
percent Of the total operating
cost Of the hospital, Willis
points out.
The administrator said the hos
ptal will welcome visitors this
week during the national obser-
vance who may wish to tour the
institution. I'VE will be happy
to provide a guide for those per-

they are passed on to the pa

it up this way:

NUCLEAR AID TO NATO
= REBELS IN VENEZUELA
= TRADE OR FADE"

A U. S. PLAN. to give its NATO
allies more information on its
nuclear weapons but to keep the
final decision on their use in the
hands of President Kennedy has
apparently won acceptance at a
NATO meeting in Athens. The Is
NATO nations, meeting behind
closed doors, repeatedly adopted
a new policy under which NATO
would draw up guide lines" for
the use of nuclear weapons. but
the U. S. President would re-
tain a final veto power. It
was announced later that the U.
S. has assigned five missile car
rying, Polaris submarines to
NATO and has promised more
when these are in service. These
subs remain under American
command but would fall under
NATO control in the event of
war. ...
IN SPAIN Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco proclaimed a state
of emergency in three northern
industrial provinces Saturday.
The decree was designed to halt
a spreading wave of strikes and
is to last three months. Some
20, 1000 miners in the Asturias coal
fields struck for higher pay a
month ago despite the fact that
strikes are technically illegal in
Spain. This has thrown at least
another 2 10000 out of work. The
government said the strikes were
triggered by foreign agitators."
IN VENEZUELA. government
troops moved Saturday to crush
a rebellion by marines and
military policemen in the port
city of Carupano. President Ro-
mulo Betancourt charged the in
surgents with trying to set up a
CaStro-type regime. The rebels
and seized the radio station at
Carupano Friday and broadcast
appeals for aid from the rest of
the county, but they met with
no response.
PRESIDENT KENNEDY spent
the week end in Palm Beach, Fla.
following a major speech on for
eign trade in New Orleans Fri
day. The President said the U. S.
must either trade or fade" and
he challenged the country to
think boldly about joining the
Western trade community. An
administration bill. now before
Congress. would grant him the
authority to lower tariffs through
reciprocal trade agreements.
Later the same day he watched
a display of air borne might at
the Elgin Air Force base in
northwest Florida. The President
was slated to return to Washing
ton Sunday.
WILLIAM c. BATTLE, Al Char
lottesville attorney and son of
former Gov. John S. Battle, is
expected to be named U. S.
ambassador to Autralia. Battle
is a friend of Kennedy's during
World War II, and both COM
manded PIT boats in the Pacific.

for the President in 1860 and say
