U.R) Two women members of congress strongly criticized the army's re quested nurse draft bill today for Its failure to guarantee commis sioned rank to nurses inducted into military service. The feminine legislators, Reps. Edith Nourse Rogers, R., Mass., and Frances P. Bolton, R., O., said they agreed that steps must be taken to assure adequate nurs ing care for' wounded service men. But they felt that any nurses who are drafted should be guaranteed commissions. The nurse draft bill, intro duced by Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky., of the house mili tary affairs committee, would apply to all registered nurses be tween 18 and 45. Those induct ed would receive private's pay, unless commissioned later. At Medford hospitals and the nurses registry it was stated to day that so far as was known, Piano Instruction MRS. E.

Individual Share Of National Debt Placed At $2,118 Washington, Jan. 10 (U.PJ Want to know how much your share of the national debt will be?
