Hospital Plans.

Construction of a new tuberculosis
Hospital at Glenn Dale, Md, to be
opened next September, was urged by
the community not only to provide
greatly needed additional and modern
facilities for the adequate care OF pa
tients, but in the hope that it would
lead eventually to abandonment of the
present tuberculosis Hospital at Four
teenth and Upshur streets. The recon-
mendation of DR.. j. Winthrop Peabody,
Superintendent of the tuberculosis Hos
pital, concurred in by Dr.. George G.
Ruhland, health ofhcer, that the old
tuberculosis Hospital be retained even
after new facilities are provided at
Glenn Dale, will be the source of some
disappointment and regret.
As for the doctors arguments, they
are undoubtedly sound. They show
there are now some a7O patients at the
tuberculosis Hospital and at Gallinger;
that the capacity of the new hospital
at Glenn Dale will be 400; that the
needs of the District now are for an
absolute minimum of 800 beds, and the

Beer-Drinking Episode
Held Political Index

10 the EoltoI Oh Inc otkIs
A recent Associated Press news dis
patch tells in great detail Of the pro-
digious feat of a Mr.. Celia, member
of the Eastern Democratic Club of Bal
timore. who succeeded in breaking a
record by drinking half gallon Of beer
in ia seconds. At the conclusion OF
this wonderful piece of work this gentle
man was presented with a wrist watch
by the Eastern Democratic Club in rec
ognition of his important achievement.
The presentation speech was made by
that champion Of the peoples rights.
Democratic Representative PalmiSano OF
Maryland. What relief it must have
been to this Representative when Con-
gresS adjourned, thus enabling him to
forget the trifling and unimportant ma
tional issues that were up for settle
ment before that august body Of jelly
fishes! He can and is now doing some
thing really worth while for his coun-
try and his constituents.
1t is only reasonable to presume that
Mr. Cella's feat will be celebrated with
song and story in the annals of the
Eastern Democratic Club throughout the
ages. How unfortunate it Is that those
old masters, Rembrandt. Holbein and
Frans Halls, are not living today. so all
of them could put the wrist watch pres
entation scene on canvas for Demo-
cratic posterity.
What figure Representative Pal
misano would cut in that picture with
an aurora of suds around his noble
brow. a sheaf Of patronage appoint
mentS sticking out of one coat pocket

other! Truly great man and fairly
representative of the caliber OF the
Statesmen" who have just bestowed the
inestimable boon upon the country OF
betaking themselves home.
The news dispatch did not state who
has been paying Mr.. Cella'S training ex-
penSes while he was preparing to break
the beer-drinking record. 1t is a safe
bet that the taxpayers footed not only
his bill but also that Of his "sparring
partners" in the Eastern Democratic
Club.
Mr.. Cella's remark when he received
the watch was little gem of becoming
modesty and devotion: Il did 1t all for
the Eastern Democratic Club" 1t re-
minded me of the gentleman who, in a
moment of inebriated boastfulness, de-
clared: "Of course don't want to brag,
or anything like that, but I am the
champion 175-pound chicken. thief OF
this county,"
Representative Palmisano, in the same
spirit, could have remarked: II don't
want to brag, but I was one Of that
peerless band who tried to tax wealthy
business men out Of business and thus
perpetuate the dole. also helped to
pass some unconstitutional bills. I also
helped to put through appropriations
that will bring the country to the verge

Negro Farm Plan
Held impractical
To the Editor Of The Star:

Az tHt Soitot VI Ahc 0tsh'
Kelly Miller, that ebullient purveyor
Of social and political anachronisms,
delivers himself, in Saturdays Star, Of
q new cure for the "Negro's Industrial
and economic predicament." This pana-
cea, he explains, was discovered during
q recent visit to the model farm oper-
ated by his distinguished friend, Bishop
M. H. Davis of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church. Your correspondents
description of the idyllic relations which
he claims to have found there sounds
quite beautiful and looks inspiring, but
in the less felicitous world at large 1t
just won't work.
For one thing, few Of the unemployed
urban Negro population have for rela-
tives prosperous and altruiStic bishops
who might set them up In such an
agricultural Arcadia. Nor Is the Solu-
ton for their plight to be found, as Prof.
Miller suggests, in a fantastic search
for high-minded patrons who aspire to
be benevolent overlords." The stern
logic of contemporary economic life does
not permit the survival Of such philan-
thropic souls in sufficient numbers to
effectively carry out such plan. Nor
have they ever existed on a scale large
enough to warrant his apparent faith
In them. We had thought that the
red herring Of sentiment with which
romantic historians once sought to en-
bellish the bloody expressions OF the
feudal overlords had been effectually
exposed Their modern prototypes are
exemplified, not in Bishop Davis, but in
the MuSsolini'S who are out to uplift
the benighted Ethiopians with fire and
sword: in Japanese imperialism whose
humanitarian overlordship in Manchuria
has borne fruit in an appalling famine,
or in the generality OF plantation
owners. who would have us believe that
their "propertyless Negroes are wholly
satisfied with their small pay, their one
teacher schools, plantation unit
churches and their chronic economic
and political dependency"
It would seem that Kelly Miller looks
for remedies in every direction save in
the play Of those political and economic
forces which alone account for the social
disintegration expressed In the phenom-
ena of widespread unemployment. He
seems profoundly unaware that the crisis
In agriculture Is as intractable as 1t Is
in industry. This is evident by the
naive assurance with which he points to
the alleged profitable production Of cot
ton on Bishop Davis bucolic asylum for
depression ridden kinfolk. The mechan-
ization of cotton and agricultural pro-
duction in Dixie. like the intensive ra.
tionalization Of industry in the North,
has rendered permanently superfiuous
a mass OF labor which all the benevolent
overlords in history could never shelter.
The internal logic Of this development
accounts for the tragic dispossession
from the land of great numbers Of both
black and white farmers and their sub
sequent shift to the industrial centers.
This dilemma cries for q solution out
side the current institutional set-up.
This solution might be hastened by the
blowing under OF at least every third row

Setting Up Defenses.

A newly organized Lawyers Vigi-
lance Committee" formed to investigate
legal aspects of new laws passed by Con-
gress, is giving its attention to major
acts of the recent New Deal session.
Particularly is it inquiring into the con-
stitutionality Of these acts. Among those
which have been selected for study are
the Wagner labor disputes act, the agri-
cultural adjustment act, the Guffey coal
act, the death sentence clause" of the
public utility holding company act,
T. v. A. competition with private in
dustry, the economic security act, the
Roosevelt "share-the-wealth" tax law.
1t is reported that q subcommittee
already has prepared q report holding
certain phases of the Wagner labor dis
putes act unconstitutional.
Soon or late the courts are expected
to pass upon all these New Deal acts.
When the Supreme Court of the United
States dealt the N. r. A. q body blow,
handing down an opinion unanimously
holding the act unconstitutional. it was
a foregone conclusion that other tests
of the New Deal experiments would fol-
low. President Roosevelt himself has
recognized this situation, first, in his
press conference, in which he suggested
that the A. A. A. and other New Deal
measures could not pass muster in
the light of the schechter decision,
and second, when he urged Congress

Potato Stamps.

The philatelic public soon is to have
another series of stamp novelties to pur-
chase, study and argue about. Under
the potato acreage control scheme OF
the Department of Agriculture the COM
missioner of internal revenue must bring
out set of "tax-paid' and "tax-exempt"
stamps to be attached to sacks OF tubers
sent to market. The initial difficulty in
the matter is that of the choice OF sub
iect material for the designs. Every
stamp, tradition says, must picture
something. George Washington was
portrayed on the handsome revenue
issues of 1862; profile of Liberty
adorned the 2-cent blue, issue OF 1875;
a battleship and an allegorlcal repre-
sentation of commerce were the orna-
mental themes of the proprietary and
documentary issues of 1898 and 1899, and
geometrical labyrinths were used on the
ordinary issues Of l9l4-l935.
But for the projected potato stamps,
it may be supposed. an artistic enort
of superlative character will be desired.
The Government certainly will wish to
make the most of the opportunity to
dramatic the great cause OF agragrian
recovery. 1t employed stamps to popu-
larize the late lamented N. r. A., and
to aid the Byrd Expedition to Little
America; to advertise the Century of
Progress and San Diego Expositions and
the national parks; to help to finance
the visit of the Graf Zeppelin to Miami.

ice. The humble vegetable known to
botanists as solanum tuberosum and to
humanity at large as "spuds' Is too i'm
portant a factor of culinary science and
national economy to be dealt with sum-
marily. Indeed, a conference is to be
held to discuss the problem. The best
brains of the Treasury and the Post
Office as well as of the A. A. A. are to
be enlisted toward the achievement OF a
satisfactory solution, and before actual
printing is begun the approval Of the
countrys premier philateliSt, President
Roosevelt, will be solicited.
Perhaps the countenances Of Sir
Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh
might be reproduced, If reliable pre-.
sentiments of those worthless are avail
able. The one is credited with having
introduced the sweet potato to England
and the other is reported to have spon-
sored the first planting of the Irish"
potato in Ireland. But in philatelic
circles a third suggestion has been
offered, namely, that the stamps should
show doryphora decemlineata, the busy
little beetle whose fate 1t will be to 60
hungry under the New Deal effort to
increase food prices. The potato bug,
subjected to famine, decimated by the
cutting of acreage, it seems, should have
a monument, and what could be more
fitting than that the stamps which are
to signify his ruin should depict his
perishing species and be paris green in
color?

edly produce. along with population in

cilities. The doctors point out that the
District will not have gained substan-
TALLY in its efforts to achieve the ideal
in tuberculosis disqualification should it
scrap the old hospital with completion
of the new. Both will be needed.
Commissioner Hazen has called q con-
ference OF District officials and citizens
to discuss the future of the old tTuber-
culosis Hospital. 1t would seem that the
wise course would lie in recognizing that
while immediate need may exist for the
old hospital. its retention is to be on
temporary basis only. No step should be
taken which gives the old hospital per-
manent status, Efforts should be made to
enlarge the Glenn Dale plant, with the
specific purpose Of abandoning the
Upshur street hospital.
The site, on Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets. part of which is occupied
by the tuberculosis Hospital, was orig
inally intended for new municipal hos
pital group which would replace Gal
linger. The tuberculosis Hospital was
built as aSunit of this group. After
long battle citizens defeated the measure
which would have permanently located
the municipal hospital center in this
neighborhood. And the ensuing years
have demonstrated the wisdom OF utiliz-
ing the land for school and recreational
purposes rather than for hospitals. The
surrounding territory has been developed
as a community of homes.
The site is no longer appropriate for
a tuberculosis hospital. While the pres
ent hospital may remain for few years,
every effort should be made to hasten
the time for its abandonment.
