Available Beds Plan
The majority Of the committee.
while recommending that steps be
taken Immediately for construction Of
a 500-bed hospital, said this would
not take care OF the immediate emer-
gency and for this reason 1t urged:
Utilization on a per diem basis OF
whatever beds in the local hospitals
are found to be available for tuber-
culous patients.
Transfer on a per diem basis of all
children now being cared for in the
children's ward at Gallinger Hospital
to Childrens Hospital to provide an
estimated capacity Of so beds for the
reception of adult tuberculous pa
tients at Gallingef.
Utilization, at least during the COM
ing Summer, Of the health school,
adjacent to the tuberculosis Hospital
at Fourteenth and Upshur streets for
tuberculous adults needing hospital
care. thus relieving the intensely over
crowded conditions at the Upshur
street institution.
Health Officer Fowler objected to
the proposed use of the Health School.
He said If it were taken over, children
who have been denied the rign. to
attend regular classes would have nc
place to go. He raised the question
OF whether their parents would be
willing to send them to the Childrens
Sanitorium, IS miles from town.
Fowler urged the early construction
Of new adult hospital, completion Of
the Children's Sanitorium and de-
velopment Of other facilities needed
to combat tuberculosis He also urged
employment Of 2s additional medical
and nursing assistants and other
helpers for the operation Of tuber-

Representative Raymond J. Cannon

that because of Shoemaker's attitude,

White House Not to
Take Open Part
in Primaries.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE White House had its finger,
crossed when 1t announced
that 1t would take no part ir
L the Democratic congressional
primaries
What it meant was-openly.
Louis Howe already has been des-
ignated privately to handle the pri-
maries for the administration. He
will be unable to take his scheduled
vacation now for that reason.
Also, Mr. Farley's right-hand man
Emil Hurja. has departed at last from
the P. w A. (much to the relief OF
Interior Secretary Ickes) and is now
installed in the Democratic National
Committee, although no announce
ment of the switch has yet been made
Knows Every District.
Hurja specialized in the congress
sional end of the 1882 election for
Farley. He knows every vote in every
congressional district since the Civil
War.
The President himself is not as shy
on the subject as the announcements
indicate. What happened at the
White House during the recent visit
Of Texas boosters shows that.
Among the callers were Senator
Tom Connally and his primary oppo-
nent, Representative Joe Bailey. One
of the leading issues between them is
their respective loyalty to the New
Deal. Bailey has strongly questioned
Connallys record in that respect.

There are many factors con-

canoeing, fishing. and pleasure
parties are the chief ones.
With the great increase in the
number of bathers during the past
few years, it is a wonder there
are not more. This is due, no
doubt. to the fact that bathers
congregate at beaches and pools

Baggett, 20, of the host club, in
yesterdays qualifying round of
the first annual Beaver Dam
Country Club invitation tourna-
ment, was the target as the Sec
ond batch was completing the
qualifying rounds today. Par for
the course is 70.
It appears unlikely that young

firing for such sharpshooters as
Harry Pitt, Gene Vinson, Roger

Ernie Caldwell, Spencer Overton,

of the host club: Forrest Thomp-
son, another Beaver Dam men,
Der. and Ted Burrows, public
parks. were the only other play
ers in yesterdays field of 40
starters able to crack 80. Nc
Carthy took IT and needed two
pars to tie Baggett but took a
S on the par seventeenth.
Thompson and Burrows carded
79's.
AS predicted, yesterdays con-
testants found that Beaver Dam
is no cinch course. Those par
ticipating in today's qualifying
rounds will also discover this to
their dismay. The prospect Is
that 80 and perhaps 81 may
qualify for the top sixteen.

CATCHES

1t took a long time for the fish
ing season to get under full steam,
but it's steaming away at full
speed now.
Plenty of hardheads were bag
ged in the Patuxent, from Bene-
dict to Solomons Island, over the
weekend and a large number Of
them were of the heavyweight va
riety. And they are biting on
both the flood and ebb tide. But
they are rather finicky about
the bait, taking only to shrimp.

two pounds. Tom landed four

They tried soft crab without sue

John w. Donald, Larry Homan
and Ed Jameson picked up 18 Of
them off the Sand Gate on the
Sunday morning ebb tide on
shrimp. Harry Justine fell on the
hardheadS at Solomons Island and
came away with a big catch Of
them. ranging from one to four
pounds.
Vet Anglers Miss
Two of Washington'S foremost
angling authorities, "Capn" Bob
Wilson and Perry Miller, struck
out after blues at Southwest Mid
dies, but returned empty handed.
However, they saw many hard
heads but disdained to try for
them.
Lacey Reynolds. Fulton Lewis
and Frank Waldrop paid another
visit to Oregon Inlet, N. c., ship
ping out of Manteo with Capt.
Rya Midget early Sunday, half
expecting to catch up with some
channel bass which had been
caught in large numbers on Sat-
urday. They ran into a school
of blues, instead, and caught 66

Japanese feather lure, popular
blue fish tackle at oregon Inlet.
Worn Out BY Effort
They could have bagged more
but were too worn out to con-

dealers are taking advantage of
the popularity of the japanese
feather lure and are charging 81

be obtained anywhere in Wash

soon wear the feathers off the
lures an angler needs several on a
trip and should be sure to buy
them here at home.

LOOKS
To EASTERN
T|TLEPLAY
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

OY fAs C4NAN 0OAN
In case a national schoolboy
golf championship is held in Chi
cago this summer Georgetown
Prep should be invited to compete
on account OF its brilliant record
There have been rumors cur
rent that a schoolboy champion
ship was being planned for Chi
cago, but the proposed event
hasn't taken definite form as yet.
There is also talk Of national
junior championship in Chicago
this year.
The big hitch is locating some
club or organization willing to
finance the tournaments.
Looking To InterschOlaStics
Having cleaned up everything
in scholastic golf in this section
for 1884, the Georgetown Prep
team will center it's attention on
the Eastern Interscholastics at
Greenwich, Conn.,, June 1928,
Georgetown Prep has finished
second in the team competition
for the last two years, while
Maury Nee was the medalist last
season. Nee lost to Jack Munger
in the final and the latter got tc
the semifinalS in the national anna
teur before yielding to Max Mar
Ston.
Members of the team are Frank
Allan, captain; Maury Nee, Billy
Dettweiler, Bob Troutman, Jack
Sewell, Frank E. Carey, Dick Jen
ney, George Eddy, Hughes Spald
ing, Ray Higgins and Bardon Hig
gins. Dettweiler was of little serv'
ice this year, having broken his
finger in baseball.
This year, the Prepmen won the
Maryland and District team cham
pionShips, while Nee won the
Maryland individual championship
and Allan the District title.
Indicated Since 1880
The Prepmen have been unde
feated in dual competition since
1880, when John Ruane, st
Johns, scored hole-in-one on the
seventeenth to defeat Billy Abel
Since then, teams of Georgetown
Prep have engaged in 96 matches
and the best their foes obtained
was draw. That happened las
week, when Central High split
even with the Prepmen, but the
latter didn't have their strongest
lineup in action.
