Hospital Shift Weighed.
The proposed transfer Of control Of
Gallinger Hospital and the Districts
tuberculosis sanatoria from the Board
OF Public Welfare TO the Health De-
partment, the federation held, should
not be provided in shift of appro-
priations, but should be considered
only as legislative matter on which
public hearings should be held. The
transfer was provided in the supply
bill as reported by the House District
subcommittee on appropriations, but
Is was knocked out on 4 point OF
order as the bill was passed by the
House.
Abandonment OF the Receiving
Home for Children and transfer OF
its wards to boarding homes, As pro-
vided in the House action on the
budget measure, met with disapproval
OF the federation. 1t held conditions
Of the home could be improved
The body asked that appropriation
items for salaries for the staff OF the
Traffic Department and for provision
OF automobile tags be restored to their
regular places in the budget, meaning
they should be continued as charges
against general tax revenues. These
two items were stricken from the bill
in the House on points of order which
were raised because the items had been
transferred to make them charges
against the special gas tax fund.
The federation also asked restoration
to the bill Of An item for the salary

been vacant since the resignation last

There was long lght over the pro-
posed transfer Of control over numer-
Gus playground activities from the
Municipal Playground Department to
the Community Center Department Of
the public school system. H. c.
Phillips, chairman OF the Education
Committee, proposed that the fedora
ton approve changes to give the Com
munity Center Department control
over school grounds now operated after
school hours and during the Summer
by the Playground Department. He
opposed, however, the transfer Of play
grounds not Immediately adjoining
school buildings.
Mrs. Horace J. Phelps, in 4 minority
report, urged that appropriation items
transferred in the bill be restored to
the Playground Department By q
vote Of "a to 20. the federat tion dis
approved the shifting Of the appro-
priations, upholding Mrs. Phelps
recommendations.
The federation urged the Senate
Appropriation Committee to reinstate
in the supply bill the following items:
For construction Of new Bunker Hill
School. $ll5,00o; completion OF the
Anacostia Junior Senior High School,
$4,000, and second-story addition to
the Crosby Noyes School. $4,000.
Persons under l8 would be deprived
OF their right to obtain automobile
operator permits under another feder-
alton action. The present minimum

that the Traffic Department be made

BALDWIN WARNS
AGAINST FASC|SM
Announces Imminent Retire.
ment, but Sets No Date.
Chamberlain Favored.
By the Associated Press.

WORCESTER, England. April To-
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, the
sturdy cornerstone Of British conserv-
atism, warned his people earnestly
away from either communism or
fascism today in homely speech that
sounded like a swansong.
He announced his imminent retire
ment, but set no date for it. He has
been prime minister three times.
Addressing his constituents, he
warned Britain against mass con-
sciousness" and the virus of either
communism or fascism" And then
the 69-year-old government leader
declared of himself:
1T is far better TO go when the
people may still think of you as per-
haps not incompetent than to stay
until perhaps they know before you
do that you are becoming incompe-
tent"
The Conservatives of the Bewdley
division, whom he addressed. ap-
pointed committee TO select a candi-
date for his House of Commons seat
and adopted a resolution expressing
appreciation of his services
Chamberlain Favored.
Political observers generally agreed
Neville Chamberlain, who is a year
and half younger than Baldwin,
would be his successor in the prime
ministership
Baldwins withdrawal has long been
taken for granted, and some observ-
ers have predicted he will be made a
lord. 1t is generally believed he will
quit soon after the imperial confer
ence which has been called immedi-
ately following King Georges coro-
nation May II.
The stocky prime minister minced
no words in warning against Britains
adoption Of Ideas alien to the ideas
which we hold in this country"
They are the ideas of communism
and differing forms of fascism," he
said. Ideas that can do nothing to
help our country in solving our own
constitutional problems.
L don't think this country Is in
danger of having mass consciousness.
But don't let us, in our happy-so-
lucky way, think that such 4 thing
cannot come to Great Britain-there
is nothing more important than TO
keep ourselves immune from the virus
| Of either communism or tascism."
Fears Rapid Change.
Citing the vast speed-up In trans
portation since ne was first elected
to the House Of Commons as an ex-
ample of the changing times, Bald
win said:
To-day you may drive with safety
on roads go miles an hour. But if this
| country ever tries TO travel in
constitutional change at so miles an
hour the constitution will be wrecked,
and 1t will be wrecked as it always
has been in these rapid chanses-in
disaster and in bloodshed"
Concerning his forthcoming res
| lenatlon, the prime minister told the
| Conservative meeting:
Il am quite clear in my own mind
that while I believe my Judgment to
be as sood-if 1t has been goods
it has ever been, I am conscious that
the vitality Is to a certain extent
sapped, and that one needs more rest
and one gets more tired
But if that be the case in days
like this, was right has one to 70 on
with the risk that one may get much
more tired and really impair the
work Of the government OF which ono
| is the head?"
! When I retire" Baldwin once said,
you will never hear of me again. I
want to go back to Worcester. read
books, live decent life and keep
| pigs"

pated deficit Of $6,l00,000.

Split DeveIopes on Question.
The body was split over the question

the door to entrance OF the municipal
government into many fields of private
business and others charging that the

There was a charge also that If the
District refused to grant bond to a
prisoner, the proposal might be found
unconstitutional since it would de-
prive the prisoner Of his right to
release.
Several speakers insisted that II
there are abuses in the present pri-

A few samples:
The tale about the tramp who
mooched a nickel from a lady in La
fayette Park and then spent it to
buy sack of peanuts for the pigeons
The horror yarn of the poison dress
Ditto the one about the girl who was
in the theater and some one stuck
3 hypodermic needle in her arm and
tried to whisk her away to be sold
into slavery in Hindustan. (Those two
aren't dead-just resting up, we feel
