Colunbia-Callin Hospital
Merger Supported by Can,mel
Former Lincoln Park
Head Points Out Be,,e-
fits of Proposal.
Miss Eppley to Speak
This Week on Con.
servatiOn Work.

Untold benefits would result from
the proposed merger of Gallinger and
Columbia Hospitals, in the opinion of
j. L. Gammel, former president Of
Lincoln Park Citizens Association and
chairman Federation Of Citizens AS
sociation's Auditing and Examining
Committee.
The merger, with Gallinger having
control Of both institutions, would make
available an additional $50 beds which
would be an undisguised blessing since
1t may be necessary to wait from S
to 10 years to secure adequate appro-
priation for an addition to Gallinger
to accomplish the same result, Gam
mel believes.
The appropriation necessary for the
proposed addition will amount to
$500, 600 to 81 600, 900. The federation
and the Southeast Council of Citizens
Associations are both solidly behind
this project which Is also supported
by the Board of Public Welfare, he
declared in a radio address over Sta
ton WMAL Thursday evening.
Broadcast Made Weekly.
Each week speaker on current civic
affairs makes an address over Sta
ton WMAL. The series is sponsored
by the federation and Is under direc-
ton of Thomas Ellis Lodge. fedora
ton president.
This weeks speaker will be Miss
Elaine Eppley Of the District Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. who will speak
on Conservation and the City DWELL
err" featuring a report on the North
American Wildlife Conference which
met here at the call of the President
from February 3 to Z. Miss Eppley
was appointed delegate to this con-
ference by the Commissioners to rep
resent the District.
Miss Eppley Is native of the Dis
trict, being educated here and in
the schools of Port Chester, N. Y. She
also attened Columbia and George
Washington Universities and obtained
her IL. B. degree at Washington Col
lege of Law. She was admitted to
the bar in 1929.
she Is member OF the following
civic groups: Interfederation Con-
ference, Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, Lincoln Park Citizens Asso-
citation and the Society of Natives of
the District.
Favored Projects Listed.
Several Of the projects favored by
the federation and the Southeast
Council were listed by Gammel in his
address last week. The establishment
Of Roosevelt Memorial Stadium at
the end of East Capitol street is one
Of these projects, he said.
A natural site is already here and
with one-half the expense that would
be required for the layout in any other
section, this vast enterprise might be

asked to tell what they considered
the greatest obstacle encountered
in the enforcement of the trafflc
regulations.
They both replied in almost
identical language. "the large
privileged class in the District"
To particularize they listed men,
bers of the Senate and House Of
Representatives and employees Of
Congress who could invoke the
intervention of members and Sen
ators; members of the diplomatic
corps and their staffs, from the
Ambassador down to the cook;
high Government officials and i'm
portant citizens with influential
friends.
Throughout the years the civic
groups interested in finding a So
luton of the traffic and safety
problem have recognized this as
an outstanding difficulty and re-
sponsible in large degree for the
existing unsatisfactory conditions
which seemingly baffled solution.
The present traffic study by q
special subcommittee of the House
District Committee has afforded
the opportunity to show the atti-
tude of some of the Districts law
makers toward the traffic laws and
regulations. 1t is reported that the
Senate District Committee pro-
poses to look into the question Of
the immunity Of members of Con-
gress from the restriction of the
laws. Illuminating speeches have
been made on the subject by prom
inent members of both House and
Senate and there seems to be gen.
eral agreement that members Of
our great and powerful legislature
possess no more rights along these
lines than the humblest private citi-
zens. The question OF immunity
has gone far beyond its mere ap-
plication to the local laws and
regulations.
There is wide interest among
civic leaders in this discussion and
. number have expressed the hope
that the outcome will be the enact
ment and enforcement of laws and
regulations which will recognize
that "all men were created free
and equal" Some leaders assert
that one Of the reasons that Con.
gress has been so reluctant to give
the people of the District any right
Of participation in the councils Of
the Nation or In their local affairs
il because Of . fear that its mem.
bers would lose some Of the many
special privileges they now enjoy.

Proposed "Red Rider" Repeal
Continues Of Major Interest.

As A matter Of discussion in
civic circles and from the
space in the press devoted to it,
the so-called Red rider" or pro-
vision denying pay to employees of
the local public school system who
teach or advocate communism, out
strips all others in interest. The
latest development is the new Sis
son bill, which provides for the OUT
right repeal of this provision, which
has caused so much controversy
and diverted attention and consid-
Grafton from the many urgent
school needs.
At the first session of the SUD-
committee ON Education Of the
House District Committee the
Board Of Education put up a strong
case for repeal. The boards case
was handled by the president. Mrs.
Doyle, with an illuminating presen-
tation by the superintendent, DR..
Frank w. Ballou. The boards case
for repeal Of the rider was sum-
med up by the superintendent as
follows:
l. It is unnecessary and ineffec-
tive and Is not accomplishing its
purpose.
2. It has produced an unwholesome
relationship between teacher and
pupil.
3. It has deprived the school
board Of q vital part Of its author
ity.
4. It has fostered and stimulated
interest In Communism not only in
the District, but throughout the
country.
S. It has resulted in considerable
additional expense and unnecessary
work on the part Of school en-
pioyes. -
Other supporters of the repeal
are to be heard, commencing to-
morrow. Then the opposition viii
be given time. The chief opposi-
ton Is from q special committee Of
the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations. This committee by no
means has the united support OF
the delegates and member bodies
composing the federation.

81 al say without fear of con-
tradiction that we, as Negroes of
the midwestern region of the Uni
ted States, are now receiving the
greatest opportunity of all time to
participate in and to gain for our
selves a worth while position in
politics on a rational scale.
II feel that this fact can not or
must not be considered a matter of
small significance to a minority
group in a country which is under
a democratic form of government
such as ours. There are many
stresses under which we find our
selves toiling, not particularly as
Negroes, but as members of a min
GRITTY group, that can be alleviated
chiefly though intelligent partici-
patton in politics.
81 am convinced that President
Roosevelt is the man for the peo-
pie of the United States and even
more certain that he will be reel
ected.
Through careful cooperation and
coordination of individual and the
various group activities with those
efforts of Atty. Charles F. Davis,
who has been appointed State Dir
ector of the Colored division of the
National Democratic campaign, l
am sure that we can well accom-
plish Il share of the work.
