C., TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 194 More Public Health Nurses Needed Here, Welfare Unit Told Miss Josephine Prescott , Outlines Problems at Y. W. C. A. Meeting Washington has only half the | 315 public health nurses it needs, Miss Josephine Prescott, director { of the Health Department’s Nurs- | ing Bureau, told the health division of the Council of Social Agencies at A meeting in the Y. W. C. A. yes- terday. Miss Prescott pointed out® that lack of sufficient nurses in the Health Department prevents Wash- ington from having a well-rounded | child health program. | The meeting had been called to | review the facilities for child health in the District as part of the May | Day Celebration. “There is no planned public health nursing service for children with communicable diseases,” Miss Pres- cott declared, “and no nursing serv- ice for those patients registered at |the Health Department clinics | when they are delivered in their ;homes by medical students from | the universities.” The increased services to mothers | and children in the Health Depart- | ment have resulted in a drop in the | infant mortality here, Dr. Ella Op- | penheimer, director of the depart. ment's Bureau of Maternal | Child Welfare, reported. | _Dr. John H. Lyon, president of the | District Medical Society, explained why surgery on children was more difficult than on adults, and as- serted the child mortality in ap- pendix operations was “a terroriz- ing 64 per cent.” Almost all of these deaths wert preventable, he added, warning that delay in diagnosis and the wrong use of laxatives was re- | sponsible for the high mortality. Miss Gertrude Bowling, director of the Instructive Visiting Nurse So- | clety, reported that 32 per cent of \the work done by the I. V. N. S, last | year was with expectant mothers | and with babies during the first| | month of life. She emphasized that | | Health Department nurses and the | | Instructive Visiting Nurses have the | same training, the same standards | and the same objectives, except that | the former place major emphasis on the supervision of well children bY Nelson A.

After the conclusion of arguments the tribunal took the case under | advisement. A final decision is ex- pected in a few weeks. Replying to a contention by Mr. | | Adamson that the act took property of his client—the Sunshine Anthra- | | cite Coal Co. of Clarksville, Ark.— | without the due process of law. Mr. Jackson said: | “This act provides so much due | process that. frankly, I don't know | whether it will ever work or not.” | He added that it was passed as emergency legislation and would ex- pire next fall. | Safety Is Discussed By Mining Congress By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio. April 30— | Delegates to the American Mining | Congress today studied methods of | providing greater safety and equip- ment to increase coal production. The need for acceleration of mining was voiced by H. R. Wheeler, industrial relations director of the | Pittsburgh Coal Co., who said coal production the first three months of this year topped that of similar | periods for the last 10 years, with | the exception of 1937. Operators considered the prac- ticability of hydraulic equipment to “crack” coal without the use of dangerous explosives. Safety re- ports were to go before the con- ference Thursday, Julian D. Con- over of Washington, secretary of the congress, said. Railroads Join to Rent Autos to Passengers By the Associated Press. Eastern and Western railroads join tomorrow in a novel plan where- by travelers may rent automobiles at their destinations or at stop- overs.
