RED CROSS PLANS
RECREATION HOUSE
Building to Cost $4,000
Will Be Erected at Walter
i Reed Hospital.

a permanent Red Cross recreation
building, costing about $4,000. will
be erected at Walter Reed Hospital
for the benefit of convalescent sery-
ice and former service patients at
the hospital, it was announced today
by the American National Red Cross.
This action was taken upon invita-
ton of the War Department to par
ticipate in the governments build
ing program to make Walter Reed
Hospital here great permanent
Army medical center, the announce
ment said.
The new Red Cross building will be
of modern type of construction and
equipment and will conform with the
architectural plan of the Army build-
ings now in course OF construction.
1t will replace the present Red Cross
building, which was erected in che
early part of the war and has served
many thousands of disabled men.
Army engineers will furnish the
architectural assistance necessary.
The erection of the new building
was approved because 1t is believed
that the establishment of the Army
me dical center at Walter Reed Hos
pital makes 1t desirable that the Red
Cross should have a permanent loca-
ton there, which will serve as a DEM
onStration center of Red Cross meth
DDS in assisting patients at govern
ment hospitals.

Turner said, are more Objectionable
than the old tribal rites of the ma
tiveS.
"Of all the pictures I saw in

tomac Electric Power Company, de-
sired to discuss this measure with
the committee. but the committee de-
cided that such u hearing was not
necessary. Members of the committee
made it clear that they We're opposed

ment op>Sotion where it was posi-
BILE to have operation by private con-
Germs. 1t was pointed out. however.
