Many More Nurses

The U. S. Army is currently
facing a shortage Of qualified
personnel In the Army Nurse
Corps and is prepared to offer
extensive professional and ed
ucational opportunities to regis
tered nurses and nursing stu
dents.
The overall increase In mill
tary personnel and the retirement
OF career nurses who entered the
service during the war years
has created the existing short
age.
Operation Nightingale, a
plan for stimulating Army Nurse
procurement, was instituted by
Secretary of the Army Cyrus R.
Vance In an effort to give the
public an insight into the problem
and acquanit nurses with advan-
tages of the program.
Qualified nurses and students
who are eager for advancement
In either general or specialized
field may be eligible for financial
assistance for one or two years
under the extensive programs
depending upon the type of plan
for which they may be eligible.
Students between the ages Of Is
and % can enroll in the Army
Student Nurse Program while
registered nurses 81 through SO
years may apply under the Reg
istered Nurse Student Program.
In applying for either of the
programs the student incurs an
obligation of military service the
length Of which will be commen-
surate with the type of plan
selected.
The Army's program for as
sistance to nursing students was
established in 1856 and was re-
stricted to female students until
recent revision extended the
plan to offer the same advant-
ages to a limited number Of
male students.
Detailed Information and ap-
p1icatton forms may be secured
at the nearest Army recruiting
station or from an Army Nurse
Counselor.
Counselor for the Maryland
Virgtnia-District Of Columbia
area IS Major Anne B. Cost who
IS assigned with the Second U.
S. Army Recruiting District, Fort
George G. Meade, Maryland.

COIN OF WHAT REALM?

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)-
Toll takers on the Treasure Is
land Causeway are used to s1ugs
and wrong coins in the cleo
tronic basket which takes exact
change tolls.
But Fran Breton, caus eway

stopped them. A woman driver
tossed her fare into the basket
one day and rolled on, leaving
red lights blinking for the next
car.
When attendants investigated,
they found long, pink, false
fingernail bobbing over the coin
aperture.

Award Of Lab
!. To Boston Hit

Senator Cotton, Republican
cE New Hampshire. denounced
yesterday what he called the
ugly fact that eight days after
President Kennedy's brother
was sworn In as a Senator from
Massachusetts,, the Boston area
was awarded a 81 million water
research laboratory.
Senator Cotton said seven
New Hampshire communities
made bids for the plant, which
will study pollution problems,
but were passed over.
1T would appear that this
plum has been badly awarded
TO the Boston area without
going into the advantages of
the various communities to the
extent Of determining which
has the most to Offer" Senator
Cotton said in a statement.
: Senator Edward M. Kennedy,
Democrat of Massachusetts,,
who was elected to the Senate
seat formerly held by the
President, issued a statement
saying the selection was made
ION its merits" after surveys
determined the Boston area best
Qualified for the site.
The Public Health Service,
which made the selection, said
1t had no comment. Andrew
Hatcher, assistant White House
press secretary. asked to COM
ment, said, II don't know any,
thing about It,"
y Communities In Senator Cot
tons State bidding for the lab
pratory were Keene, Lebanon,
Hanover, Claremont, Derby,
Newport and Woodsville.
] without referring to Senator
Kennedy by name, Senator
Cotton said:
: This bureaucratic doubletalk
is obviously an attempt to hide
an ugly fact-that eight days
after a Senator from the
sGreater Boston area is sworn
Into office. this facility was as
signed to that broad area"

State Rejects
Ted Kennedy
Probe Ban

BOSTON, Jan. "a (AP) The
Massachusetts, House, though
Democratic by a wide margin,
has rejected a move to con-
denim a Republican bid to look
into campaign expenses of SEN
ator Edward M. Kennedy, DEM
ocrat Of Massachusetts,.
The Republican State Com
mittee Tuesday adopted a plan
. calling for the inquiry into
Senator Kennedy's campaign
costs. A resolution to condemn
the q. o. P. plan then was
brought in by Speaker John
F. Thompson, Ludlow Demo-
crat.
Mr.. Thompson's resolution
had called the Republican move
politically motivated" and
asked the House to assert our
complete faith and confidence
In the honesty and integrity of
United States Senator Edward
M. Kennedy and the entire
Kennedy family"
r. Blow to Leaders
Senator Kennedy is a brother
of President Kennedy and
of Attorney General Robert F..
Kennedy.
The House vote-148-64-ob-
viously was blow to the Demo-
cratic leadership. Democrats
hold $50 House seats to 80 for
the Republicans.
Representative Sidney O..
Curtiss, Republican floor lead
er, said the @. o. P. State
Committee proposal called for
an investigation, and a report
to the Secretary of State and
State Attorney General.
He said If 1t was found Sem
ator Kennedy's expenditures
did exceed his campaign ex-I
pense reports, it might be re-
ported also to the United States
Senate.
Mr.. Curtiss said there had
been some reports that 81 mil
lion may have been spent in
Senator Kennedy's behalf.
sought TO Know"
s. "I don't think seats in the
United States Senate are for
SALE" Mr.. Curtiss said, "but
If they are, we want to know
about it. And if they are not,
we ought to know it,"
Records of campaign ex-
penditures filed with the Sec
retary of State showed Senator
Kennedy spent $425,68 His
unsuccessful Republican oppo-
nent, George Cabot Lodge,
listed expenditures of 1929, ,495.
