UNIVERSAL MEDICAL ANV 1400 South Pulaski Road ept. AW-13 Chicago 23, Illinois Director Lays Transfer To Recruiting By JAMES L. HICKS NNP.V Staff Writer WASHINGTON, I). C. colored nurses i on duty at tlie hospital in Oteen.

North Carolina, have been replaced by white nurses be- cause the Administra- i tion was unable to hire sixteen ad- ditional colored nurses to join them in completing the Jim Crow nurs- ing staff required to care for sixty-; six tubercular colored veterans! hospitalized there, it was learned Wednesday. The tourteen nurses were given their choice of being transferred i to Roanoke, Virginia; Waco, Tex- as; Fort Bayard, New Mexico, or Tuskegee, Alabama. Dr. W. R.

Southward, acting di- rector of VA medical services for North Carolina. Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, said the transfer was made due to failure of efforts to recruit sixteen additional Negro nurses to care for tubercular Negro veterans in the hospital, coupled with an overall shortage of quarters at the FIGHT CLIMAX Although Dr. state- ment indicated that the transfer! had been forced because of failure of colored nurses to apply for the. positions, in reality it is the climax of a light between the Administration and the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses to have colored nurses integrated in VA hospitals without uist rimina Jon. MADE Dr.

Paul R. Hawley, VA medical director, revealed recently that he had requested the Graduate Nurses Association to furnish him with sixteen additional nurses to; complete the nursing staff at Oteen. He said that unless he able to get the sixteen nurses he would be forced to replace them with white nurses because the fourteen colored nurses were occupying i quarters which would house 40 persons and that since he could not move the white nurses in with the colored ones, unless he got the sixteen additional nurses, housing space would be wasted. He said he had written to Mrs. Mabel K.

Staupers. executive secretary of the Colored Graduate Nurses, concerning the matter, and was at that time awaiting her reply. REFERRED REQUEST Mrs. Staupers had answered Dr. Hawley on April 5, it learned, and while protesting the segregation of colored nurses, referred him to Mrs.

(ANPl Alexander Bustamante and Frank Pixley. two of this most Dowerful and distinguished labor leaders, will appear before the circuit court here on April 24 on manslaughter charges growing out of the fatal beating of John Nichols Feb. 16 during a violent outbreak of labor strife between the Industrial union and the Trade Union council, headed by Norman Manley. Open hostilities between the Industrial union, headed bv Bustamante, and the Trade Union 'ouncil, led by Manley, flared when mental hospital attendants pulled a walkout that resulted in sympathy strikes of civil service workers, teachers, railway workers and other units of the Manley movement.

Beside death, several persons were reported injured during the violence. Bustamante is charged with leading 4,000 dock workers against the striking TUC members on February 16. POLITICAL BASIS Basis for animosity between the Bustamante-Manley forces is said to he political. N. N.

Nethersole, a Manley aide, was sent to London by the Trade Union council to demand the recall of Sir John Noggins, the governor, and report other political strife on the island. Nuggins is reported to have backed Bustamante, who controls 27 of the 32 votes in the house of representatives. Manley controls the remaining five. Bustamante also controls the five elected members of the executive council, which is the governing body. The Bustamante labor movement here, representing illiterates and common workers, is numerically and politically stronger than TUC, upon which is based National party.

Whites here are reported to favor the Bustamante movement over group. Bustamante, minister of communications and a member of the legislature, is majority spokesman, while Manley represents minority opinion as a member of the house of representatives. Underlying causes for political wrangling here are said to arise naturally out of the social evolution and revolution that is taking place in the island since achieving a greater degree of self-government. placement Service in Chicago. In an exchange of correspondence with Dr.

Hawley, Mrs. Staupers told Dr. Hawley that it was unjust to ask colored nurses to leave positions in the north, east and west to take positions in southern sections of the country where they would be denied their civil and other rights. She added, however, that site felt sure colored nurses would respond to the call of the VA just as they had responded to the call if they would be given the same fair and equitable treatment the Army bad given them.
