the biggest war time problems hospitals must face, it appears from the report of John H. Hayes, super-
intendent of Lenox Hill Lospital
and dispensary, at the symposium on civilian hospitals in war time held, here by the united -hospital
fund of New. York in co-operation] ]
with the greater New York hospital and the New York Academy of Medicine. On supplies and Tsiioning, Mr. Hayes said in part: “No patient, at least in this vicinity, has thus far suffered due to lack of needed drugs or equipment. However, we ‘are handicapped in SRY ways. :
Almost Impossible

Consider the dietitian. ° She must plan days. akead, and different menus for different types and C of patients and employees. has never been easy. Today it 1s almost impossible, but they do it: “Rationing is ‘a problem to all Americans. were not placed in a separate group for special consideration. They were included with night clubs, picnic grounds, étc., and I assure you that no hospital is either, even though we do keep open all night. | “According to the formula, based on meals served in December, our slowest month, many hospitals will be allowed only 20 or 25 per cent of their needs in rationed foods. This would just about take care of their fruit juice requirements.
Hope for Future
| “I am sure something will be - done to ease this situation.” | Hospitals are constantly losing help of all kinds, from cooks to window washers, who are attracted to jobs in war industries and other work by the 40-hour week and high salaries, Mr. Hayes said. Training new employees takes time, and meeting increased labor costs on hospital: budgets is difficult. Some hospitals are increasing the rates to patients, but, he added, “if you double the rate to a free patient it is still nothing.”

British Open Drive On ‘Squander Bug’ a War Hindrance. 1
SQUANDER BUSS Foor YOU!
A couple of Squander Bugs as they appear in English war-bond advertising.
~~ Times Special LONDON’ April 1—The Gremlins are not the only elfin creatures needling Britons these days. Latest imp to make his appearance is the squander bug—a malicious mite whose greatest delight is inveigling Mr. and Mrs. John Bull to spend their “packets” (pay envelopes) on frivolities rather than putting them into war savings. “Microbe hunters in the national savings committee discovered the identity of this germ and are currently doing their best to eradicate him through an intensive" advertising campaign in the British press. To war-poor Britons, most Americans appear to be victims of the squander bug. Hence, the delight in the following story, currently making the rounds in London: ~ An American soldier in India hired a carriage for a ride ncrmally costing one rupee. At its end he handed the cabby 60 rupees. The astounded cabby shook his head and demanded 170. The doughboy was adamant. Finally the cabby agree jumped off his seat and walked off, leavirig the American with the horse and buggy his 60 rupees had bought.

ASK CLARIFYING OF LABOR SETUP
Truman Committee to Urge End of Over-Lapping In Agencies.
By FRED W. PERKINS " Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 1.—The Truman committee is expected to report tomorrow to the senate that the war effort would be helped through a simplification of the government’s relations with labor. + It may recommend an amalgamation—at the least it will speak out for elimination of overlapping— among the three biggest agencies that deal with slices of the subject: the department of labor, the national labor relations board, and the national war labor board. It could go further, and advocate a central authority over a number
the labor picture—the president's committee on fair employment practice, the national mediation board, the railroad retirement board, the U. S. employees compensation commission, and certain divisions of the war manpower commission and the war production board.
‘Labor Is Confused’
interest, however, is. in the three principal labor agencies, and it is prepared to point out that labor as well as the public is confused by their duplicating and sometimes conflicting powers, functions and policies. This follows public hearings in which the senatorial committee has heard from a number of labor leaders, including William Green, American Federation of Labor president; Philip Murray, head of the
the United Mine Workers. Jt received from John P. Frey, president of the A. F. of L. metal trades department, his “personal” recommendation that both the Wagner act and the agency that enforces it, the NLRB, be suspended for the duration. This was based on Mr. Frey's assertion that the NLRB has operated to impede shipbuilding through injecting itself into an A. F. of L.-C. I.
