D. c. UNION ASKS
MAJ. WALTERS s
PROMOTION
Secretary of NRA Board Gets
Endorsement OF $1,000;
Has Only Small Staff

Joining the fight to put the Dis
trict on a par with the 48 States
as far as permanent MIRA enforce
ment personnel is concerned, the
Washington Central Labor Union
today recommended that Major
Raymond j. Walter, NRA official
assisting with compliance here,
be appointed full-fledged director
Of compliance.
The action was taken in a letter
to Brig. Gen. Hugh s. Johnson,
NRA administrator, in which
Richard A. Dickson, president Of
the union, asserted that the pro-
motion of Major Walter would
assure organized workers that
their welfare would be safe
guarded.
Praised by Union
The letter read, in part:
1--WE have given our indOrse.
ment to Major Walter not only
because he has served as exec
utive secretary Of the Washing
ton Board Of Compliance since
its inception, but more espe-
CiaIly because we are thoroughly
familiar with his fairness Of
justice, his great common
sense, his proved ability and his
unimpeachable honor and char.
acter."
Observers in the NRA pointed
out that the action was unusual
in that this is one Of the few
times in which both capital" and
labor have sponsored Blue Ea-
gle official.
Major Walter has long had the
backing Of local business in the
persons Of prominent civic lead
ers, code authority officials and
heads Of business mems associa-
tions.
$1,000 Support Him
In gaining the Endorsement Of
the Washington Central Labor
Union, Major Walter has the sup
port of the more than $1,000 local
workers comprising the organiza-
tion.
The idea Of promoting Major
Walter is to provide the District
with as large an NRA compliance
force as those already set up in
the 48 States.

work. But that was 26 years
ago and the population Of the
District has greatly increased.
HUNDREDS NEED CARE
II have been able to effect
minor improvements by penny
pinching here and there. With
the limited means in our power
we do the best we can for
those in our charge. I think
we do good work. But there
are hundreds Of tuberculosis
victims in the District who
should be receiving hospital or
sanitarium care and are not.
We simply haven't room for
them"
One need, according to DR.. Pea
body, is a separate hospital fol
terminal cases." Separating those
"poor fellows for whom there is NJ
hope" and less seriously i'll vic
Tins of the dread disease would
he thinks, greatly improve the
of the latter. At present
such a separation is impossible.

State Chief of Aid System Asks
Prince Georges to Purge
s Its Lists

Harry L. Greenstein, Maryland
relief administrator, today asked
Prince Georges county citizens to
aid him in purging the county re-
lief rolls Of "racketeers."
IN q public meeting at Upper
marlboro, Mr.. GreenStein was told
that many persons on the county
charity rolls had refused to work
because they were getting more
money from charity than they
would receive for working. It was
pointed out that many able-bodied
men were refusing to work on ten
ant farms for 81 a day when they
conld receive q S. grocery order
or other relief for the asking.
The State administrator said
heatedly that such persons ought
to. be prosecuted and that he
would not countenance any fraud
in, the distribution Of relief funds.
He said:
81 should like to know per-
sonally the names Of men who
refuse TO work. Anyone refuS-
ing to work ought not to be
permitted to remain on the re-
lief list"
Mr.. Greenstein appeared before
the Prince Georges Board Of
County Commissioners to ask
them to add eight cents to the
tax rate for relief purposes. He
intends to petition other counties
for the same purpose.

CCC. TO REPAIR
CUST|SESTATE

Arlington, the historic estate Of
Nellie Gusts, on Mt. Vernon High
way, will undergo an extensive
improvement program.
National Capital Parks officials
revealed today that men from the
Civilian Conservation Corps camp
at Fort Hunt will start reland-
scaping the estate as soon as
weather permits.
Other improvements will be con-
struction of $500 feet Of roadway
and sidewalks. restoring the old
well on the estate, and planting
several trees and Shrubbery.
The Washington times., 1934-03-21

A 26.year-old institution that in
all those years has remained prac'
tically the same is endeavoring to
care for the Districts tuberculosis
victims.
DR.. j. Winthrop Peabody, super
intendent Of the Washington Tu-
berculosis Hospital, declares the
hospital is urgently in need Of
funds to expand, more beds are
needed and the present staff is
greatly undermanned.
Knows City'S Needs
DR.. Peabody has been Superin-
tendent of the hospital for Is
years. Prior to that he was a staff
physician. No one in the Capital
knows the needs Of the city's tu-
bercular victims so Intimately. He
says:
"The hospital by crOwding
can take care of 22O patients.
GaIlinger, in its tuberculosis
section, can take care Of 80 more.
1t is generally admitted that q
city should have at least one, or
better still, two beds for each
death from tuberculosis each
year. Some 900 men and women
died of the disease in the Dis
trict last year."
The hospital itself today is a
miracle Of neatness and carefully
planning for space. But even the
casual observer can see that it is
crowded.
DR.. Peabody believes that the
"five-year plan" outlined by the
late DR.. Paul Preble in 1927, after
a thorough survey of health con-
ditions in the District, would meet
the situation today. OF it he says:
"The 'five-year plan,' If prop
erly carried out, would mean we
would eventually have q system
by which we could take ade-
Quate care Of tuberculosis vic
tins here. This hospital, in
1908, received . medal for its

By United Press
MONTREAL, June 7.-Canadian
industrialists studying the United
States recovery program gave spe-
cial attention today to the monthly
letter of the Royal Bank of Canada,
which described recovery in the
United States in the last year as
IAN amazing spectacle"
The statement, which found both
doubters and supporters, said:
With an increase of about 25
per cent in commodity prices and
100 per cent in security prices, the
index of business activity in March,
1884, was carried A per cent above
that of the previous March"
Quoting figures to show that pro-
duction, imports and exports, en-
ployment, prices and sales in the
twelve months ended March, 1884,
increased from 25 to 1913 per cent,
the statement says that the rise
from March through July last year
was probably the greatest improve
ment on record"
