Red Chinese
Arms Used
By Wet Cong

SAIGON, Wet Nam. Aug. 13
Cap A United States Army
weapons expert says the Wet
Cong is using Red Chinese
weapons and ammunition of
recent manufacture.
Increasing numbers of new
Chinese arms captured from
Communist guerrillas indicate
that important, supplies are be-
ing infiltrated to the Wet Cong
from Red China, he said.
Most of the Chinese war ma
terial is copied from Russian
or other East European de-
signs. Marks on parts identify
ing national origin generally
are removed.
Ammunition and arms made
| in China as recently as 1862
have been captured, the expert
said, including some weapons
still covered with preservative.
Old French machine guns used
by the Wet Cong have been re-
chambered for Chinese ammu-
milton.
The captured equipment
identified as Chinese includes
|K-50 submachine guns, 57-mm
recoilless rifles, 7.62-mm pistol
and rifle ammunition, signal
flares, antibiotics and field tele-
phone switchboards.
The equipment is believed to
have been sent to North Wet
Nam, and then infiltrated
through Laos to South Wet
Nam.
A recent attack on the air.
port of Can Tho, South Wet
Mans second city, used Chi
nese recoilless rifles, the Ameri-
can expert said. Fourteen
United States Army soldiers
were wounded in the attack.
RuSsian-type carbines cap
tured from the Wet Cong units
in the Mekong River Delta are
actually of Chinese manufac-
ture, the expert said. While the
model of carbine known as the
Mosin Nagant was manufac-
tured in the Soviet Union up
to 1914, a modification Of the
weapon has been manufactured
in China since then.
Communist guerTillas here
manufacture crude weapons Of
their own, including rocket
bombs. The bulk Of Wet Cong'S
arms, however, are United
States weapons captured from
government outposts and units.
Communist made weapons
generally are supplied only to
officers and cadres of the Wet
Cong, the official said.

Mass Fish Kills Spur
MARYLAND Into Action

system Of reporting will be

DR.. Donald w. Pritcherd,

research at yesterdays meeting:

been directed to fish kills, and
definite information is lacking.
We can't answer questions from

Carrier Study
Extended by
McNumuru


The Navy has made another
report to Secretary Of Defense
Mcnamara on its ideas about
the future Of carrier forces
and again has had it tossed
back for more answers and
justlfying data.
The latest exchange came
yesterday when Navy officials
briefed the defense chief on
the contents of their latest
study.
When asked today what hap
pened in the briefing, a De-
Tense spokesman said that Mr..
Mcnamara requested they
continue the study and return
with their recommendations at
q later date"
The later date, on the basis
Of previous experience, prob
ably would not be earlier than
October.
Mr.. McNamara's decision will
come only after study by him
and his own experts-which
could mean that it might be
late this year before the Navy
learns whether 1t will have
more or fewer attack carriers
and whether any new one will
be nuelear or conventionally
powered. n
The Navy has in operation
only one A-powered carrier,
the Enterprise. Congress APP

rier with funds in the fiscal
1868 appropriation bill, but
even though a new fiscal year
is started no contract has been

BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 13

The men were returning from

Ahead Of the U. N. team was
a conflict Of ideas over how
far the survey should 60.
Prime Minister Rahman told
the Malayan parliament yester-
day the u. N. team will be
limited to investigating how the
Malaysia issue figured in recent
elections In the two territories,
whether electoral lists were
compiled properly, whether the
elections were free, and whether
the voters were polled properly.

He claims Malaysia was the
chief issue In the elections, anc

nifying consent to the new ar
rangement.
Indonesian President Sukar-
no has demanded that the U. N.
conduct a plebiscite or at least
an opinion poll on the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Sukarno has opposed
Malaysia, contending it is a de-
vice to continue British colonial
control in Southeast Asia. Since
Indonesia holds the rest Of Bor-
neo, many observers believe Mr..
Sukarno hopes to extend his
control to the North Borneo
territories.

Capt. Gilbert j. Strait Of

1000 Doctors Warned
OF Own Illness Threat

M. Peery, who set UP the test
program, said. DR.. Peery is
chief Of pathology at the

School Of Medicine.
The chemical examination
included II analyses of body
chemistry to detect subtle
changes that might result in
or indicate serious health trou.

Among the physicians, 80 per
cent showed elevated blood
cholesterol, which may mean
heart or artery trouble later;
81 per cent showed elevated
blood glucose, which may fore
cast diabetes; 21.6 per cent,
elevated uric acid, usually as

cent with elevated blood urea
nitrogen, a sign Of defective
kidney function, and 22.7 per
cent with abnormal calcium,
which may point to certain bone
diseases, digestive disturbances,
kidney stones or other diseases.
DR.. Peery said the tests are
still experimental and are not
a sure forecast Of disease.
But. DR.. Peery said, IF we
can learn to use regular clinical
laboratory checkups to observe
subtle changes in body chem
istry that point at oncoming

easier for the general prac-
titioner and internist to counsel
their patients to take pre-

HUMAN NEEDS IN MIND
Nurses Face Complexities
By JERRY KLINE
Star Staff Writer

"A hospital nurse may not be
the amateur psychiatrist that
her television counterpart is,
but she knows more about
human problems than her pre-
decessor did.
Nursing students are much
more knowleGgeable" than
those of a decade ago, said
Miss Caroline Keller, director
of the Alexandria Hospital
School Of Nursing, one of the
half dozen oldest nursing
schools in the Nation and the
only one in Northern Virginia.
Although many registered
nurses in past years did re
markable" jobs, the field has
become so complex that nurses
must make sound decisions in
many areas" she said.
The school, at 801 Duke
street across from the down.
town hospital, was established
in 1894. Two years later, it
graduated its first class, two
young women. Since then it
has become a three-year course
leading to a diploma and class
enrollments have increased to
about IS a year.
The school has been in con-
tinuouS operation except for the
years of 1888 to 1943 when the
depression forced the closure.
During World War II, the Fed
eral Government reopened the
school to operate a cadet nurs-
ing program to meet military
and civilian needs. !
Immediately after the war,
nursing school standards in
creased rapidly. Alexandria's
school apparently has kept
pace with the improvements.
In 1852, the school became one
of the first of the smaller in
situations in the Nation to re-
ceive temporary accreditation
by the National League for
Nursing.
In 1857, the accreditation
was made final and last June {
it was renewed for the maxi ,
mum period of six years. Each ,
year, in competition with the I
graduates of Virginia's % other I
nursing schools, the Alexan-
dria graduates consistently I
score the highest grades in the 8
State examination for regis /
tered nurses.
you wouldn't know the
nursing program from the one |
10 years ago." Mrs. Doris Sud- t
darth, coordinator of the cur
riculum, said. A heavy empha-
sis is put on the behavioral
sciences, along with the BIZ |
illogical and physical sciences. l
Until recently, we didn't
know how important the per- I
sonality is in nursing. Now {
we know more" s
Student nurses are told they |
must care about - as well I
as care for-their patients.
Previously, nurses were warned [
not to become involved too {
closely with their patients. 4
IF you sat down beside a {
patient, woe be unto you," Mrs. I
Suddarth said. II
Like nursing schools and hos '
pitfalls everywhere, the Alexan- I
dria school has difficulty at c
tracing and keeping nurses. n
About half the graduates re- a
main at Alexandria Hospital
for only a year and some quit
before receiving their diplomas.
The rapid turnover can be t
traced in large part to the IN
fact that Alexandria is a tran z
sient community, said Mrs. a
Bernice Noah, assistant direc- d
tor in charge of nursing edu- c
cation. Most of those who +
leave are members of military Il
families who are transferred,
