LabOr-SGUinq
Devices Hit

G.N.SO. Continued issuance of
patents on labor-saving devices
cannot be a sensible, practical,
sound public policy" while the
unemployment problem remains,
Representative Summers CD of
Texas, declared in a statement
today.
Urging adoption of his bill tenn
porarily to suspend granting such
patents, Summers admitted 'it is
very difficult to get people to
examine an inherited notion"
'Labor-saving devices and
progress are popularity regarded
as synonymous" he said.
Ordinarily that may be true,
but I want to submit that when
mechanical development Stimu-
lated by Government patent has
so far outstripped economic ad-
justment and governmental
policy as to accumulate millions
of unemployed, that may not
be true"

STIMULATING your intestines, it
gives them two things they need. First,
Au-Bran supplies "bulk-it absorbS
water and softens like a sponge. This
water-softened mass aids elimination.
Second, it's a good source of vitamin
"Bl"-the amazing vitamin that tones
up your intestinal tract.
Eat crunchy, toasted All Bran with
milk or cream and fruits. In mullins
it's delicious. But however YOU eat ii.
use it REGULARLY: eat two table,
spoons of All-Bran and drink plenty
OF water. If you do this every day yoiI
can avoid common constipation and

H 0 j S { BLAME.
FOR GALLINGER.
SaysSenate Is 0venuIed
On Adequate Funds

"There is nothing wrong with
Gallinger Hospital that money
will not cure. The fault is not
with DR.. Bocock, but with us.
It's our fault-the fault of Con-
gress-that Gallinger is over
crowded"
This was the answer Of Sena'
tor Royal S. Copeland Cd OF
New York, today to current ap-
peals for enlarged facilities at
Gallinger Hospital.
AS chairman of the District sub
committee of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee, and a mem
bers of the District Committee as
well, Gallinger's troubles were an
old story to him, the Senator
said.
HOUSE BLAMED
He put the blame for failure OF
Congress to appropriate funds for
enlargement of the hospital
souarely on the House, saying the
senate repeatedly had voted funds
for additional beds, only to lose
out when the appropriation bill Is
considered in conference.
when I first came to the
Senate I was made chairman OF
a District subcommittee on hos
pital and medical facilities,
Senator Copeland said. al
though the committee no longer
exists, I have been interested in
and familiar with the situation
at Gallinger ever since.
with facilities for 800 pa
tients, they are taking care OF
400. If I were in DIR. Bocock's
place wouldn't take single
patient beyond the hospitals
capacity. Then there would be
a howl, and something would be
done about it.
ALWAYS LOSE
"The Senate will undoubtedly
make provision in the new ap-
preparation bill for additional
beds It always does. In the
past we always have lost out in
conference. when the House
failed to approve a similar ap-
preparation.
Il have always believed that
some plan should be worked out
for all of these Washington
hospitals so that the overflow
from Gallinger could be sent to
the others-the maternity cases
to Columbia, the medical to one
of the others, surgical to third,
and so on. This is not eco
nomical, but is the only alter.
native to the enlargement Of
Gallinger to enable it to carry
the load.
"Sooner or later two things
have got to happen at Gallinger:
It must have more beds and it
must have an increase in per-
Sonnel.
'The normal relationship be-
tween hospital personnel and
patients is one to one. I don't
mean one nurse to every pa
tient, but that the total hospital
personnel, including all en-
ployes, should be approximately
equal to the number of patients.
