District Draft Boards,
Set to Name Officers,
Lack Volunteer Aides
District Draft Boards will elect
their chairmen and secretaries prob
ably early next week and be ready
to start classifying some 50,000 men
soon after the registration begins
August 30, selective service officials
said today.
White House approval of 20 addi
tional Draft Board members and 15
appeal agents nominated yesterday
by the Commissioners on recom
mendation of District Selective Serv
ice Director William E, Leahy is
expected within a day or two.
Except for appointment of two
members each for Boards 10 and 14.
and one for Board 11, personnel
organization of the District’s 15
boards is practically complete.
Volunteers Lacking.
The headquarters staff at 1901 D
street N.W., where the boards will
have offices, was concentrating to-'
day on obtaining volunteers for the
August 30 to September 18 registra
tion of men 18 through 25.

registration places was approved

week days, including Saturday, from

The 15 Government appeal agents
nominated yesterday by the Com
missioners are lawyers who will serve
as intermediaries between the 15
draft boards and the three appeal
board panels on individual induc
tion cases.
Mrs. Warner Dies;
Yellow Fever Expert
By th« Associated Press
KNOXVILLE. Tenn., Aug. 20.—
Mrs. Lena A. Warner, 79, last sur
vivor of the (Walter) Reed Commis
sion which discovered that the ste
gomyia mosquito bite causes yellow
fever, died here yesterday.
Her interest in yellow fever dated
back to 1877 when her parents and!
five brothers and sisters died of the j
disease during an epidemic at Mem- j
phis. Then and there, Mrs. Warner!
once said, she resolved to become a
nurse and do what she could to;
stamp out the disease.
She was the first woman in Ten
nessee to become a registered nurse j
and she devoted all her adult life t<5 [
nursing and public health work.
Two years ago she retired after 30
years as health director of the Uni
versity of Tennessee Agricultural
Extension Service.
In 1889 she received her nursing
certificate at the Illinois School of
Nursing and returned to Memphis,
where she organized the Memphis
School of Nursing.
In 1898 she answered President
McKinley’s appeal for nurses to go
to Cuba during the Spanish-Amer
ican War to nurse American sol
diers who had been stricken by
cholera and yellow fever.
Later she returned to Cuba with
the Reed Commission to study the
cause of yellow fever.
The commission's experiments
traced the disease to the female
stegomyia mosquito, but not before
Mrs. Warner and several members
of the group contracted the disease.
