CHARMEN FOR
HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN
CONTINUED From Page oneI

THE presence Of a hospital saiC
DR.. James, "Often means the differ
ence between life and death so it i,
of great value to our citizens in low
er Delaware to have this hOspita
nearby.
"a few years ago we had plenty
of accommodations for patients. Now
we arc full most of the time. We
cannot take any more. If there
should be 4 bad accident, requiring
four or five beds, don't know
where we wru't put the p"t'ents-
probably in the dining room.
Once people did not wish to 20
to a hospital. Now thay wish to do
so more and more. You can't keep
them away.
'We must have a new hospital.
We can't take care of the people
properly in the present one"
DR.. Haney said, I'VE need hos
pital in Milford with eighty beds
with 500 of the beds reserved for
emergency. It has been suggested
that we might add to the present
hospital. but that would be eXpen-
sive in the long run for soon we
should have to enlarge still more.
1t is better to start new, because the
present building with an interior of
wooden construction, in the midst
of wooden buildings. is a fire haz-
ard.
I'm the cTamped quarters used for
babies. they have to hang the bassi-
nets on the wall to save room. The
children's ward should have twice
as many beds. The emergency room
is used as a ward. This is all wrong.
Thanks to DR.. G. Layton Grier's
management this hospital is operat-
ed at a cost of $3.03 per patient-day
which is.25c lower than the average
cost of hospitals of smaller size"
DR.. Haney then outlined the plan
of campaign saying that commit
tee, headed by a chairman and vice
chairman will be appointed from
each of the twenty odd cOmmun ties
which the hospital serves. "You
have in Southern Delaware" said
he, "a splendid American heritage.
In the days of your fOrefathers, the
men would have gone forth with an
axe and saw and they themselves
would have erected a building The
women would have prepared the
food. A few days and the job was
done. We have the same spirit, but
we do the work by giving our time
and money to the cause"
DR.. Haney then put the question: /
How many want new hospital?
The fifty persons present raised
their hands. Then he asked how
many would do their part in the
Again the reply was un-
animOus
After discussion they voted that
The S15O.OO0 should be raised not by
a quota for each town, but that all
he citizens should work together as

have to be a bill to legalize racing,
another to legalize betting as pre-

late the sport, fixing the size of the
tracks to be established, the num-
Der of racing days in each year, the
size of the purses to be offered for
each race, the State tax on admis-
sion tickets, the sum bet on each
race, the license fee for those oper-
ating the tracks and many details.
With but two dissenting votes, the
Senate Tuesday afternoon passed
Senator CannOn's bill to amend the
State constitution by eliminating the
clause against betting on horse
races and to make it legal to place
such bets by means of par-mutuel
machines or tOtalizatOrs at race

The measure was Immediately re-
ported to the House where it was
given the necessary two readings,

chairman, and a short time later
reported back favorably.
When it was called up for final
action in the Senate Tuesday after

The Senate District Committee took

The allotment for the project has
been reduced to $4,000,0 900.
Senator King said Secretary 1ckes

the matter further and King added:
'I am not satisfied with 1t. He also

An investigation to determine how
much money the Townsendites have
collected for their old-age pension
drive and how the money is spent was
being discussed today on Capitol Hill.
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee said he
thought the committee should look
into contributions to the Townsend
Plan Association.
such an inquiry would be proper, "
he said.

from "unsuspecting. credulous old
people who can't afford It," He in
dicated members Of the Townsend
Clubs were asked to pay IS cents for
a pamphlet and that Townsendites
claim a membership of 22,000.000.
Townsend Denies big Sum-"
DR.. F.E. Townsend, author Of the
plan to pay every one over go a 5000
monthly pension If they would quit
work, quickly denied any enormous

collected.

yesterday, was praised by Representa-

and denounced by Blanton as bunk" "

"You could have 1000 men on the

the Jail. The medical and social needs

James v. Alfred recommended imme-
diate establishment Of q State plan
ming board to coordinate State and
national recovery efforts In message
to the Texas Legislature yesterday.
Until the benefits Of the program
can be obtained, Alfred requested
legislation to authorize sale Of $3.-
100000 State relief bonds to carry the
relief burden. This amount Is all
that remains from an initial issue Of
$20,oOo,000.
The new Governor also asked the
Legislature to consider an old age
pension, which he classed as "tn-
evitable," submission Of repeal OF
State prohibition and strengthening
of the State laws in petroleum con-
servation.
A State monopoly was suggested as

He never has let any one forget the
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt occasionally
likens the New Deal to a foot ball
game, in which the President is the

closing the next play, etc. All Of
which heads up to the fact that this

lack of undercover work will defeat
them ultimately. They are individual

is strongly in need Of inside fixing.
