THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D LY 14, 1935—PART ONE A3 M WALMSLEY FLAYS DESERTING AIDES New Orleans Mayor to Be Ousted When Majority Signs, Says Long. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, July 13.—Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, his political back to the wall, today denounced his former associates for deserting him for “Dictator” Huey P. Long and reiter- ated his refusal to resign. As the sound of strife between Sen- ator Long and the mayor echoed throughout the State, with anti-Long men rallying to Walmsley as a last re- sort, Norman Thomas, national So- cialist leader, threatened to come into Louisiana and campaign against his “share-the-wealth program.” Most of Walmsley's city political Neutenants deserted him for Long's ranks on the plea the step had to be taken to save New Orleans from finan- cial ruin. Three of four city commissioners re- quested Walmsley to quit, and 13 of his 17 ward leaders made the same request. As Walmsley was lambasting lhe‘ commissioners and Long's “dictato ship,” Thomas threw down a new threat to Long by announcing he | would stump Louisiana, and stump with a sound-truck caravan against the “demagoguery of Huey Long's share-the-wealth program.” Long, visibly irritated over Thomas’ plan, charged that President Roose- velt, with whom he has broken polit- ically, was sending Thomas to Louis- fana. “Anyway, Thomas won't get three people in Louisiana to listen to him,” the Senator said. Meanwhile, the *“old regulars,” Walmsley's political organization, went forward with plans for a series of citywide mass meetings next week to | circulate petitions demanding the mayor’s resignation. Senator Long has promised the “old regulars” to call a special session of | the Legislature to address Walmsley out of office “within 24 hours” after the signatures of a majority of the | voters of the city are attached to the | ouster petitions. | Denouncing his former associates for deserting him, and refusing to re- &ign, Walmsley shouted to the city commissioners: “You wouldn't want to deal with Al Capone. You can't deal with men who have been called thieves and crooks by each and every one of you and then uphold your honor.” —e Rome (Continued From First Page.)

BUCHAREST, July 13.—The Haps- burg family was warned today by & powerful combination of Austria's neighbors to stay away from the non- existent throne of Austria. Nicholas Titulescu, foreign minis- ter of Rumania, announced that if the Hapsburg dynasiy, which once ruled parts of Rumania, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, were restored, those three nations, now comprising the Little Entente, would be forced to mobilize their armies. The hand of Czechoslovakia was not apparent in the announcement, but it was considered to carry the full weight not only of Rumania but of Yugoslavia, for it was made after Titulescu had conferred with Prince Paul, regent of Yugoslavia. Mobilization Certain, Said Titulescu: “7he Little En- tente policles with respect to a Haps- burg restoration have been settled on a positive basis, and mobilization would follow as a matter of course if the dynasty is re-established in Vienna.” (Two contemporary events give In the above picture Ulic Burke, called immediately. —A.

The New Hospital And the Sick Little Girl at Gallinger After many years of persistent agitation and demands for a tuberculosis sanitarium for the treatment of children in the District afflicted with this disease Congress finally ap- propriated funds for the hospital at Glenn Dale, Md., and it was opened, after considerable delay in construction, Sep- tember 14 last. But last night a 12-year-old girl, suffering from recently diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis and in a condition which the doctors say demands careful treatment, lay in a crowded ward at Gallinger—unable to obtain admittance to Glenn Dale. At Glenn Dale there are 150 beds and 121 patients. At Glenn Dale special attention has been given to con- struction of the hospital, permitting sunshine and fresh air and treatment and pleasant recreation for child patients. At Gallinger the ward in use is crowded. There is little opportunity for sunshine or fresh air for the patients. There are rows of cots and blank walls to look at during stifling hot days. The little girl who lies at Gallinger cannot gain admit- tance to Glenn Dale—built by local taxpayers’ money for just such cases as her own—because Congress has declined to ap- propriate funds for a sufficient number of nurses. There are 10 nurses at Glenn Dale, now taking care of 121 patients, day and night. That means a nurse for every 12.10 patients, although the desirable standard for an adult hos- pital is a nurse to every 8 patients, and Dr. Daniel Finu- cane, the superintendent, says the average for children should be below that. “Many children,” he said, “require almost in- dividual care. They cannot bathe or feed themselves. We should have at least one nurse for every seven patients.” In January a new wing will be completed and 150 more beds and nine more nurses will be available. But in the meantime— The sick little girl at Gallinger, denied admittance to Washington’s brand-new hospital for children at Glenn Dale, is only one of a waiting list of sick children, which is growing longer all the time. § “But we cannot very well take in any more children.

By the Assoclated Press. After clarifying the United States’ policy with regard to the threatening war clouds in Africa by emphasizing American interest in the world-wide preservation of peace, Secretary Hull left yesterday for a brief vacation in nearby Virginia. While no immediate cevelopments affecting the United States were ex- pected in the Italo-Ethiopian dispute, it was made plain at the State De- partment that Secretary Hull would be in close touch with his office at all times for decision on any subject of interest to this Government. While it was expected he will spend some time at Hot Springs, officials said his plans were indefinite and he might motor to several nearby places. William Phillips, Undersecetary, will be Acting Secretary of State dur- ing Hull's absence.
