HOSPITAL HEATING
LOAN TO Be ASKED
City Heads Agree to Seek
100000 for ChlIdren's
Institution.

The District Commissioners In
formally promised today to seek
100000 P. w. A. loan to be used for
a new heating plant in Children's
Hospital
Formal action awaits working out of
details of the contract on which the
hospital will agree to repay the loan
by furnishing free clinical examina-
ton for tubercular children.
The loan, which was requested by
Col. Arthur A. O'Brien, vice president
of the hospital, is authorized in an
act of Congress empowering the Dis
trict Commissioners to borrow 3,000,-
900 for beginning the municipal cen
ter and. S100,000 for the hospital. Ap-
plication for the loan will be made to
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
Seventy per cent would be repaid with
interest. Children's Hospitals heating
plant was condemned last year. and
officials of that institution immedi-
ately began casting about for funds
for a new installation. Since the hos
pital cannot borrow directly from the
p. w. A it turned to the District
Commissioners for help.
Col O'Brien proposed the Commits
sioners obtain the money in behalf
of the hospital as payment in advance
for the clinical examination service.
He presented a contract in which it
was specified that the hospital would
charge the District government only
for the actual cost of this service,
these charges to be used in writing
of the debt.
At present Children's Hospital fur
nishes this service at its own ex-
pense. The contract submitted by
DR.. O'Brien specified that the Board
of Public Welfare should represent the
District in the transaction with the
hospital. The Commissioners, how
ever, felt that it was matter for the
Health Department, and referred Col.
OBrien to Health Officer George C..
Rutland for working out contract de-
tails.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Two years
ago 10 oil paintings valued at S35, 900
were stolen from the Brooklyn
Museum. '
Four of them are back, apparently
as bait for ransom to reclaim the
other six.
The recovered paintings were found
on top of a newsstand in q subway
station by Philip N. YoutZ, director
of the museum, directed there by a
ransom note two months after the
theft.
The note told Youtz to take the
paintings, leave a package of ransom
noney-reputedly $50,000-and the
other paintings would be returned.
He left a dummy package. De-
tecttves watched, but no one appeared
to claim 1t.

WASHINGTON, March % U.p)-
A constitutional amendment to
eliminate all tax-exempt bonds in
the future was advocated today by
Bernard M. Baruch. financier and
adviser to five presidents.
Testifying before the senate
munitions committee on plans to
take profits out of war, Baruch
said he possessed some tax exempt
bonds but favored their elimination
as means of making taxes
fairer."
Sen. James F. Byrnes, D., S. c.,
an administration spokesman, de-
Tended Baruch's wartime record,
which has been under attack by
Sen. Huey P. Long and Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin.
Baruch said 1t would be impos-
sible to eliminate tax exempt bonds
already in circulation.

believe that if we had none, taxes
would be fairer."
would you favor constitu-
tional amendment to eliminate
them in the future?" asked Sen.
Arthur H. Vandenberg, r., Mich.
YES, sir" Baruch said.
Sen. Homer T. Bone, D.. Wash,
said hundreds of homes "are sold
every year for taxes" and asked
"is there any reason why the gov
ernment should be more tender
with big corporations than with
the home owners?"
Absolutely not" Baruch said
Byrnes said Baruch saved mil
lions of dollars for the govern
ment" as head of the war indus
tries board.
HE personally paid the expenses
of one committee and 1t amounted
to about $85,000," Byrnes said.
when the war industries board
was liquidated, Mr.. Baruch per-
sonally paid the expenses home

The program began at 1920 a. m.
when G.. E. Gordon, extension spe-
cialist in dairying, using a class of
four COWS, which he had the crowd
place according to production, de-
monstrated the fact that if the best
selection is to be made it is necessary
to keep records and know the ac-
tual production as well as the par
entage of the animals. Gordon used
the actual production records of
the COWS to demonstrate this point.

WASHINGTON, March 3d.
House administration leaders to-
day rushed action on a tremendous
national defense program as the
European arms situation hourly
grew more tense.
Bill after bill, all designed to
strengthen naval and military es-
Establishments, we're pushed rapidly
through the legislative mill. The
house with little opposition and no
record votes passed four navy bills.
The Wilcox frontier air base bill
was ready for floor consideration.
Rep. John j. McSwain, chairman of
the military affairs committee, an
nounced he would seek a rule to
sauthorize early consideration of his
sbfl to construct six great aviation
bases to care for fleets of fighting
and bombing planes on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts.
The house appropriations COM
mittee was expected to report the
$477 000, 900 1886 navy appropriation
bill within a few days. OF the
total, $140,0OO000 would, be spent
for new ship construction.
Build Up Defense
Bills having house approval in
clude authorization for expenditure
of $38,00O,0O0 in 1936-37 to build up
the navy's shore stations on the
Pacific coast, Hawaii and the Canal
Zone. This money is to come from
the $300,000,000 public works fund
provided in President Roosevelt IS
budget.
Creation of an air cadet corps to
train 500 flyers to man the huge
fleet of fighting planes the navy
has under construction was auth
orized in a bill sponsored by Rep.
John Delaney Dem., New York.
A proposal to increase the official
personnel of the navy by 1882 men
was the third bill passed and the
fourth authorized retirement of
certain officers in the marine corps
to eliminate the "hump' in the
higher grades.
Although the house has rushed
action on defense legislation the
senate has refused to become alarm
ed by the European situation.
The only national defense pro-
posal which has received senate
consideration is the war department
appropriation bill passed last week.
