NURSE DRAFT BILL
Washington, Jan. 10. 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,

no local nurses had enlisted re
cently. News from Portland and
other centers is to the effect that
many were enlisting rather than
to be drafted.
At Scred Heart hospital it
was pointed out that nursing
staffs here are at a low ebb with
most available nurses married
women with tamilies, working a
part-time schedule in order to
meet the need, and that these in
all probability would not be
drafted.

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?
Well, on the basis of 138,000,
000 Americans and President
Roosevelt's estimate that the na
tional debt will be $292,300,
000,000 on June 30, 1946, the
per capita share of it will be
$2,118. And that's for every man,
woman and child in the country;
so if you have a wife and two
children, for instance, you'd
multiply the figure by four to
find your family's share.
The deficit for one year alone
July 1, 1945, to June 30, 1946
is expected to amount to $293
for every American.
