District Commissioners, endea.
voring today to make an engage
ment with Secretary Ickes to set
tie the controversy over the site
of the new tuberculosis hospital,
found that the PWA Administra-
tor had hardly an unassigned
moment from now until late in
the month.
Returning with President Roose-
welt after a Western trip, Score
tary Ickes found his office piled
high with matters that only he
could attend to, and engagements
made for him. in his absence. In
addition, the new new Bureau of
Territories and Island Posses
sions is in process of establish
ment, adding more work.
With this prospect in view. Com
missioners Hazen and. GotWalS to-
day admitted that the settlement
of the tuberculosis hospital ques-
ton appeared to be further away
than ever. Although most of the
medical men on the site-picking
committee have endorsed Glenn
Dale, Md, as the proper site, it
is known that Health Officer
Fowler is strong in his opposition
to Glenn Dale.
He may make his position
known to Secretary Ickes.
The District officials believe
that Secretary Ickes' opposition to
Glenn Dale and his choice of a
mountain site comes from higher

The volume describes a COL

"Seemingly he would prefer
to muse in the tents of tact
turnity rather than to expatiate
in the halls of loquacity."
