Washington, March 13. = Some
alarmists are more perturbed over the
presidential plan to reorganize the
executive branch of the Federal gov

fair share of publicity when it's ad-

HOSPITAL SERVICE
GIVEN THOUSANDS
20 Per Cent of Patients Are
Cared for Without Tax
or Chest Funds.

Nearing its third anniversary, the
Central Admitting Bureau for Hos
pitals, a non-proflt organization spon-
sored by the medical dental and hos
pital associations of the District, has
solved the medical or hospital prob
lens OF 20 per cent of the thousands
who have sought aid without recourse
to either tax or Community Chest
funds.
Through the bureau medical care of
every nature is provided in nine of
Washigtons non-proflt hospitals for
those unable to afford even mini
mum fees for visits to doctors Offices.
The medical skill and time for dag
nosis and treatment are donated to
these non profit hospital clinics by
aany of the city's best physicians and
surgeons.
In order to avoid confusion, it is
necessary that applicants for nom
profit hospital clinic care be referred
10 the Central Admitting Bureau for
Hospitals, in the Health Security
Building, Eighth and I streets, where
from am. to pm, except Sat-
urday afternoon and Sunday, passes
are issued to the clinics.
The bureau makes available the
facilities of hospital beds and clinics
TO the sick or disease stricken in ac-
cordance with their requirements and
inability to pay. No clinics for gem
ersl welfare care of the underprivileged
sick are maintained or paid for by
District or Federal tax funds
To help the bureau achieve its pur-
pose of making secure the health of
every person in Washington, doctors
at the hospital clinics contribute
thousands of dollars in medical
service, and great expense is borne
by the hospitals in maintaining
The clinic facilities. The hospital
costs for more than 1000 visits a
month are only partially betrayed by
small amounts from the not entirely
INDECENT patients and the Commun-
ity Chest, the latter being prac-
tically the sole resource TO provide
these facilities for thousands.

ming. A search conducted from boats
and on either bank of the Potomac
failed to disclose clues.
Detectives have not abandoned the
theory that Miss Major either slipped
away for rest or left the city while
suffering from amnesia. She often
took trips out of town without dis
cusSing her plans. although friends
insisted that, in the past. she informed
at least one of them of her destina-
ton.
Police believe that if Miss Major
went swimming alone on the Upper
Potomac early Sunday she might have
met death by drowning or at the hands
of the many transients who haunt the
wooded, rock-strewn, thicket-grown
banks.
Dead" Battery Is Glue.
The river is rough and currents
are treacherous in the vicinity OF
Great Falls and Chain Bridge.
One circumstance which seemed to
indicate that it was Miss Major who
went to Chain Bridge in the taxicab
was the girls remark about the
dead" battery in her automobile.
Miss Major had borrowed car from
a garage man while her own machine
was being repaired 1t was found
outside her apartment Monday, and
the battery would not crank the
engine.
Miss Major, daughter of Malcolm
Major, Washington artist, resumed
her maiden name following her divorce
several years ago. She is the mother
OF two young children, one living with
relatives here and the other In New
York City.
Police have prepared descriptions
and photographs of the missing girl
TO be mailed to dozen Eastern cities.
