For the second time when reached
on the Houses consent calendar the
joint resolution fostered by Represent
ative Sol Bloom, Democrat, New York.
for improving Chevy Chase Circle with
a fountain in honor of the late Senator
Newlands and appropriate landscape
treatment. was passed over today with
out prejudice Similar action was taken
when the bill was called up February /.
Sponsors of the legislation, including
Representative Bloom and Chairman
Gilbert of the Library Committee, which
had favorably reported 1t to the House,
expressed themselves as being dunn
founded today when this motion was
made by Representative Collins OF Mis-
sissippi. who said he was acting on
behalf of Representative David F.
Lewis of Maryland.
Both Representatives Gilbert and
Bloom had explained the purpose OF
this legislation to beautify one of the
principal entrances to the National
Capital and had emphasized that the
fountain would be a contribution with
out cost to the United States Govern
ment.
Representative La Guardia. Republic
an, New York, who protested that the
memorial foundation should not be dis
figured with the names of the donors,
has been assured by Representative
Bloom that there was no such attention.
Collins Not Opposed.
Representative Collins made it clear
he personally was not opposed to the
legislation. but had acted at the re-
quest of Representative Lewis, who was
not present when the measure was
called up. Representative Bloom was
much incensed that no notice had been
given either to those interested in this
legislation or to the House Library Com
mittee that there was any opposition to
this measure
Representative Bloom declared that
the proper thing for Representative
Lewis to do would have been to give
some notice of his opposition and to
register it in person SO that his OBJ
jection might be explained away.
Representative Bloom said the donors
of the fountain are ready to 60 ahead
Immediately with the work. SO that en-
trance to the Capital City could be
beautified during the Bicentennial pc
riod.
County Group Protests.
Representative Lewis secretary ex-
planned this afternoon that the objec-
ton was based on a protest from the
Montgomery County Civic Federation,
comprising % organizations. which de-
sires to be heard before congressional
committee in advance of any legislative
action. He said that this federation
does not consider the proposed foun-
tain adequate and sufficiently impressive
to ornament such an important en-
trance to the National Capital. The
protest is also based on the ground that
half of the circle is in Maryland and
half in the District of Columbia, so
that the county federation feels that it
should be allowed a voice in the matter
before the proposed fountain is placed
by Federal authority.

Wilbur Says Government Has
Butt Trough to Care
for Veterans.

CHICAGO, February 15-Secretary
Wilbur said today he believed the Fed
Ieral Government had built enough
veterans hospitals.
The Secretary of the Interior, speak
ing before the annual Congress Of
Medical Education of the American
Medical Association. suggested more
complete use of the beds already avail
able rather than to increase the al
ready enormous capital expenditure in
this field"
Wilbur is a past president of the
association.
After the war, Wilbur said, with the
enormous wealth at hand there was
exuberant mushroom growth of vet
erans' hospitals and as exuberant
growth of legislation. opening the doors
of these hospitals to more and more
classes Of patients"
He described the Veterans Admin
istration as a bureaucratic organiza-
ton and yentured the opinion that
unless there is another war. or
change in our national methods of
dealing with the sick. there will be
thousands of empty beds as the result
OF this mushroom growth, with con-
slant invitation for our legislators to
devise methods Of filling them at public
expense"
With all due respect" Wilbur said
Congress is not selected on basis that
makes it an ideal board of directors for
. national hospital system"
The practice of medicine" he added
''must still center around the patient,
not around the bureaucratic administra-
tion of a physical institution.
We must not let too many things
come in between the doctor and the
sick We want as little red tape
wrapped around our hospitals as is
possible. We want to keep them re-
sponsble and responsive to local needs
and alert to changes and emergency"
. The problem Of the care of the sick,
he said, in the various States should
be handled locally and methods found
for co-ordinating what is done with
the national plans for needy veterans.
Further enormous capital expendi-
ture by the Federal Government in this
field" he said. will be a constant
handicap in all future planning"
