E VENIN GOOD G
By Quimby Melton
There Is an acute shortage of
trained nurses throughout the
"United States. Many hospitals
are actually operating with
whole wings in charge of stu
dent nurses or with Red Cross
nurses aides.
Many trained nurses who en
tered the Army and Navy
Nurses Corps have stayed in
those corps or have joined the
nurses corps at Veterans hos
pitals. .They are badly needed
there ? and are doing a good
work. Many nurses also married
during the war and are not now
practicing. Many other nurses,
who served 1n Army and Navy
hospitals, saw “enough brave
lads die of their wounds” and
feel that they are entitled to a
vacation from nursing service.
All in all there is a shortage
of competent, trained nurses in
every hospital, including the
Strickland Memorial Hospital
here.
There are two ways this
shortage can be solved.
One Is a long range solution,
the other is one that will bring
immediate results-.
The first is for more and more
young ladies to enter the nur
sing profession, take their train
ing and become registered nur
ses. There is no higher calling
In the world for a woman than
that of a trained nurse.
The second solution, the one
that will bring immediate re
lief, is for every trained nurse
who Is not now following her
profession to again enter ser
vice and help bridge over the
shortage until, new nurses can
be trained In sufficient numbers
to fill the shortage.
Should there be trained nur
ses In this community who are
not practicing their profession,
may Good Evening suggest that
they will be doing a great pub
lic service if they wil again take
up nursing.
The need for competent regis
tered nurses is great.

Pepper Plans Tour
To Keep Demoaals
As Liberal Party
WASHINGTON VP) — Senator

own cross-country speaking tour

The Florida senator told a re
porter he has not been asked to
speak for the Democratic Nation
al Committee but will follow in the
wake of “such Republican presi
dential candidates as Senator Taft
(Ohio* and Governor Dewey of
New York.”
Dewey has stopped off in Ills na- ,
tive Michigan after a Western
swing with an entourage which left I j
little doubt that he intends to try
to repeat as his party's sandard j
bearer in the 1948 campaign.
Taft, pinning a definite political j
label to his excursion, has an
nounced plans for a trip that will
largely parallel Dewey's. The Oh f o
renatorsald _he will lay the record

Senate Committee
Told Of Letter
From Patterson
WASHINGTON «P) — The Joint
(army-navy) chiefs of staff declar
ed in July, 1942, that diversion of
materials to a huge flying boat pro
gram would be "Inadmissible,” it
was developed today at a Senate
investigation into the award later
that year of the Hughes-Kaiser
contracts for three such boats.
Robert A. Lovett, now undersec
retary of state, testified to the Sen
ate War Investigating Committee
as to the stand of these top army
and navy officers.
He read into the record a letter
which Robert P. Patterson, then 1
undersecretary of war, wrote five
years ago summarizing the position
of the joint chiefs of staff.
Lovett at the time was assistant
secretary of war for air.
Patterson wrote the memoran
dum to Donald M. Nelson, then
chairman of the War Production
Board, 'which later that year gave
Henry J. Kaiser, west coast ship
and Howard Hughes. aero
-.autical engineer and film produc
er, an $18,000,000 contract to con
struct three huge flying boats.
Under questioning by Senators
O'Conor (D.-Md.) and Cain (R.
Wash.), Lovett said that the WPB's
action in letting a contract to |
Hughes and Kaiser “caused con
cern” on the part of the chiefs of
staff.
Lovett’s testimony opened the
fourth day of the Senate group’s
public inquiry into approximately
$40,000,000 worth of airplane con
tracts held by Hughes.
The original Hughes-Kaiser con
tract for three flying boats was lat
er cut dnwn to one, which has not
t beea completed . Kaiser subse
auently v , ith drew from the
, jept which Hughes Ls now carring
:
on.
I The Patterson letter, read by
j Lovett, cited the need for "maxi
s mum production of combat planes”
, and sa j d that none of the existing
, j ac inties should be diverted to the
manU f ac ture of cargio planes.

against further action on its own to
lilt ceilings from any of the 814
areas, including Griffin, Oa., re
mainlng under control. [
Future policy, an agency official
told a reporter privately today, will
be for the federal office to check
the decontrol question to the local
advistory boards authorized under
the new rent law enacted last
month
Although the law provides that
Housing Expediter Frank R. Cree
don, who administers rent regula
lions, may lift ceilings if conditions
warrant, it also gives the local
boards a strong \oice in their own
areas.
i The official emphasized that the
new policy Is not delaying any de
control actions "since none are up
for approval at present.”
However, he said that should the
agency—before the boards are set
up for business—develop evidence
that decontrol "might be warrant
ed" In any of Hie arras, "It likely
would wait for recommendations
from the local board rather than
going ahead on Its own.”
Another official said information

"Centalnly Congress wanted the !
boards to have a strong voice In
operation of the new law,” this of
ficial said, "and it seems only right
they should pass on decontrol mat
ters."
Congress when it returns in Jan
uary will have to decide shortly
whether it wants to extend con
trols beyond February 29, the new
expiration date.
Control officials said It is up to
the various governors to declde
how quickly the boards will begin
functioning."
Under terms of the new control
net which became law July 1, Cree
don was directed to appoint local
boards of at least live members
each on recommendations submlt
