CROSS HEADS - VISITING NURSES ing of Society’s Board of Managers. Mrs. Whitman Cross was unanimously | re-elected president of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society at a meeting of the society’s board of managers at the organization’s headquarters in The Evening Star Building yesterday. Other officers elected are: Mrs. John W. Davidge, first vice president; Mrs. G. Brown Miller, second vice president; Mrs. G. Howland Chase, | third vice president; Mrs. Dwight Clark, | secretary; ‘Joshua Evans, jr., treasurer, and Mrs, Frank E. Weeden, assistant treasurer. A total of 14,836 patients were given care by the nurses of the society during the past year and 115,510 visits made to the sick, Miss Gertrude H. Bowling. general director of the society, reported at the meeting. This represents an increase of 1,932 patients cared for and 11,410 more visits than in 1928, Miss Bowling said. Many Infants Cared For. An analysis of the dismissed patients showed that 20 per cent of the work of the association had been with infants under 1 year of age, 13 per cent with pre-school children between the of 1 and 5, while 43 per cent of all the patients cared for were children under 16, years of age. Further analysis of figures showed that 61 per cent of the patients carried were white patients and 39 per cent colored patients, it was reported. An increase in free patients from 45 per per cent, or 44,840 visits in 1928, to 49 per cent, or 48,825 visits in 1929, also was reported. Miss Bowling stated that a total of 627 days had been lost from duty by nutses because of sickness, or 125 days less than was lost by the staff from sickness in 1928, and a total of 274 days overtime work done by the staff. A division of the work by types showed & third of all the patients were carried under the maternity service, which includes prenatal care for ex- pectant mothers, care at the time of dellvery and care after childbirth. Forty thousand eight hundred and eighty visits were made to these patients. ‘Thirty-eight per cept of the patients were listed under communicable dis- eases. The greater number of these ‘were in the respiratory group, including Dnleal:‘mnnil. influenza, bronchitis and col Of the non-communicable group 16 per cent, or 21,236 cases, were acute and 10 per cent, or 11,943 cases, were chronic. Society Within Budget. ‘The report of the treasurer, Mrs. Weeden, for last year showed the so- clety had kept well within the budget allowed it by the Community Chest. Mrs. Charles Wilson, chairman of the society’s supply committee, reported that Mrs. James A. Baden of the Anacostia advisory committee will aid in organiz- ing a supply committee in Anacostia. Mrs. Dwight Clark, reporting for the nurses’ committee, urged the appoint- ment of a special committee to make arrangements for a board members in- stitute to be held later in the year. Her recommendation later was approved by pathy with the position that education | setting aside one Sundsy annually for } should be the main business of_the ok Pt Siate.

B. Moses & Sons F Street at Eleventh HEARING IS OPENED ON PARKWAY BILL Action Urged by Representa- tive Cramton Before Prop- erty Values Increase. ‘The House committee on rules granted a hearing this morning to Representa- tive Cramton of Michigan on his bill for the George Washington Memorial Parkway from Mount Vernon and Fort Washington to Great Falls on both sides of the Potomac River and providing for extensions of Rock Creek and Potomac Parkways. ‘The committee will meet in executive sessfon_tomorrow morning to act upon Representative Cramton’s request for a special rule to expedite action upon this proposal. His bill calls for $23,000,000 to be made immediately available from the Federal Treasury for acquisition of sites for the proposed glrkwly development and for other parkway and playground sites in the District of Columbia. Of this amount, $16,000,000 is for sites in the District, to be paid back from Dis- trict revenues at the rate of $1,000,000 a year. Seven million dollars is for acquisition of land in Maryland and Virginia on a 50-50 basis, with State and private interests as regards the me- morial parkway and on a one-third two-thirds basis for improvement of Rock Creek and Anacostia extensions. Representative Cramton told the rules committee that there are two particular reasons for urging immediate action. One is to preserve the area which is continually being encroached upon by industries and other development pro- jects. He pointed out that if the matter is delayed another year, one particular area will cost $1,000,000 more than at present., His second most important | reason was that the Virginia General Assembly now in session is planning to look over the proposed area with a view to making an appropriation towards meeting the 50-50 requirement of the Virginia side. It is important, there-| fore, that the Federal program be set as definitely as possible so that the Virginia Assembly may know what it is acting upon, he said. It was emphasized at the hearing today and in an interview with Repre- sentative Cramton that the question of power development is being ‘made an important issue. He said that for the last few weeks there has beeni a very active lobby against this bill in the Capital by those who favor power development in the Potomac River. Representative Cramton told the committee that as regards power de- velopment on the Potomac, this bill does not change the legal situation with reference to granting a permit. Under a resolution which he fathered several years ago, it is now the law that the Federal Power Commission cannot grant either a preliminary or a final permit for power development in the Potomac below a point four miles above Great Falls until Congress specifically takes action with reference to such power development. Representative Cramton admits that if this George Washington Memorial Parkway bill does become a law, it is reasonable to expect that Congress will not later authorize any power devclop- ment in the Potomac that would detract from the scenic value of the park area. As a matter of fact, however, Repre- sentative Cramton points out the pas- sage of the resolution passed several years ago, tying the hands of the Federal Power Commission, was in effect a definite declaration by Congress of its purpose to give the scenic values first consideration and to Tmit no power development that would be con- trary thereto.
