$4,000 GIVEN
GEORGETOWN

Georgetown University has re-
ceiyed a gift of $4,000 in cash
toward the establishment OF a
chemo.medical research institute ad-
iacent to the proposed new medical
school buildings. The gift came
from Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas j,
Maloney of Waldwicl, N. J.
The purpose of the research
institute is to investigate the basic
causes Of disease. Plans call for an
endowment of $4,000,O00 Of which
s., 500 900 already has been pledged.
Sufficient funds are in hand, Rev.
George Coyle, s. j., it's director,
stated, to start plans for the main
building Of the institute and its
equipment, which would include a
library. The institute probably win
be located on ground west OF N
Street, between Thirty.sixth and
Thirty.seventh.
"The purpose of the institute"
Father Coyle explained. would be
to attack disease through obtaining
a knowledge of its natural and
fundamental causes. Latest govern
ment statistics show that 48 Per
cent of all deaths are caused by
five little understood forms Of dis
ease-tuberculosis, pneumonia, can
Ger, nephritis and heart disease.
Death In only a part OF the toll
disease takes OF ignorance. The
question OF vanishing disease IS
of national economic importance.
There is the personal poverty and
misery entaiIed by illness, and the
immense lowering of efficiency in

MARKET FIGH 7

The battle OF the farmers mar.

Senate front, with the opponents Of
the Southwest site favored by the
House, uniting their forces for a
flank attack.
The first shot has been fired in
petition filed with Senators Cap
per and Bruce from representatives
of the Citizens Advisory Council,
the Mid.City. Citizens Association,
the District Federation of Women's
Clubs, the Maryland department OF
markets, the Montgomery County
Farm Bureau, and Pomona Grange
of Prince Georges county.
The fight to bring the farmers
market north of Pennsylvania
Avenue, preferably on the mid-city
site in the vicinity Of Convention
Hall, has resolved itself chiefly into
a contest between Maryland farmers
and Virginia farmers, the latter
wanting the Southwest site pro-
vided for in the Stalker bill. The
former allege that 90> per cent of
washington market customers
would be better served north of
the Mall. They also say that the
Southwest proposal will be more ex.
pensive than the latter, the land
alone costing more than $4,000.
Hearings upon the market issue
