While chairman of Nursing Services of the New Hayen Red Cross Chapter, she\nwas on duty day and night directing the work of her volunteer nurses during the\nEastern States Floods of 1955 and a disastrous factory fire in 1957.\nMrs. Leone, a native of Lewisburg, Ohio, is the newly elected president of the\nNational League for Nursing.\nShe has been an instructor and associate professor at the University of\nMinnesota School of Nursing and director of the Cadet Nurse Program of the U.S.\nPublic Health Service. In the latter position, during World War II, she helped plan\nand administer a greatly expanded program of nursing education whereby senior cadet\nnurses were assigned to military hospitals in this country, thus releasing graduate\nnurses for active military service overseas.\nIn recognition of this outstanding work, Mrs. Leone was named chief nurse offi-\ncer and assistant surgeon general of the U.S. Public Health Service in 1949. As\nsuch, she holds the ranks of rear admiral in the Navy and brigadier General in the\nArmy.\nShe is a member of the Executive Council of the National Committee for the Im-\nprovement of Nursing Services and has been a member of the Nursing Advisory Committee\nfor the W.
