BOARD IN MOVE
T0CUT INFANT
DEATH RATE
Change in GaIIinger's
Operation Policy First
j Step in Campaign

The Health Department took
its first step today in changing
the operation policies Of Gal
linger Hospital since that institu-
ton passed to its jurisdiction
from the Board Of Public Welfare
on July !.
Under an order issued by Health
Officer George C. Rutland, the
hospital has been forbidden to
place cots in the corridors Of the
crowded obstetrical wards for
maternity cases. .
Instead Of caring for these cases
overlooking from the wards By
placing beds in the corridors, the
department is planning to care
for them at their homes. DR..
Daniel L. Seckinger, acting head
Of the Health Department, said
this also was in line with the de-
partment's planned campaign to
cut down the infant mortality rate
Of the District, for years among
the highest in the Nation.
Through increased clinical treat
ments and nursing service in the
homes, DR.. Seckinger said, it was
expected to provide proper care
for INDECENT mothers, and at the
same time check disease among
infants. The campaign contem-
plates having normally healthy
mothers, with proper home sur
roundings, to go through child
birth in their homes, thereby re-
lieving the overcrowding at the
obstetrical wards.
Since Gallinger Hospital was
opened, it was stated, no case Of a
needy expectant mother was
turned away, and when the wards
became overcrowded Superinten'
dent Edgar A. Bocock ordered the
beds placed in the corridors.

Agriculture Official
Opposes Use Of
Farm Acreage

could be made into a wonderful"
air terminal if Military Road were
eliminated, the lagoon filled in,
part of Arlington Experimental
Farms used, and some of the pres
ent obstruction eliminated. the
House Military Affairs Committee
was told today by Col. ]. M. John
son, Assistant Secretary of Com
merce.
JohnSon'S statement was made
during his testimony in which he
approved the May bill providing
that the airport company be al
lowed to take over the Military
Road, build in the lagoon and use
So acres of the experimental farms
to expand and develop the airport.
He said:
"By carrying out the pro-
visions of this bill you would
not make the airport any safer
than it Is now but you would
make it more disable.
CITES FUTURE NEED
even If you build another
huge airport far out from the
city you still will need this one
close in. may add that in my
opinion even If Camp Springs
is developed as proposed by the
Airport Commission, the devel-
Opments in the aviation indus
try and the increase in air trafD
fic will cause you to be looking
for another site to build a
larger airport in the near fu-
ture."
Opposition to the May bill was
expressed, however, by E. c. Auch-
ter, acting chief of the Bureau Of
Foreign Industry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who opposed
the provision allowing the SO
acres of the experimental farms
to be taken over by the airport.
He explained that the expert
mental work which is being car
ried on the SO acres is prob
ably the most valuable work being
done on the entire farm. He said:
ITO take these So acres would
result in our losing the heart Of
the farm. The research work Of
the whole department would be
materially affected
In answer to committee ques-
tons, he said that, although there
is an area about 10 or 20 miles
from Washington on which this
work might be carried on, to have
to do the work there would sep
arate the greenhouses from the
land. This, he said, would de-
crease the expedition of the work.
Land Is Valuable
He told the committee that the
experimental farm land is valued
at between $1,000 and $4,000 an
acre.
Thomas S. Settle, representing
the National Capital Park and
Planting Commission, expressed
objection to the provision of the
bill which would permit the air.
port company to fill in the lagoon.
He commended that runways
which would be constructed across
the area where the lagoon now
is would result in planes landing
and taking off too near the Mt.
Vernon Boulevard where traffic
is heavy.
johnson told the committee that
it is the duty of Congress to pro-
vide the National Capital with an
adequate close-in airport and said
that it was immaterial to him
