BILL IS CONSIDERED
ON MEDICAL CENTER
Institution for Navy Here at
Maximum $4,850,000 Cost

The House Naval Affairs Committee
yesterday considered the bill spon-
sored by Chairman Vinson for q new
naval medical center in Washington
at cost not to exceed S4,850 900.
The bill does not limit the amount
that can be spent for site, but Vim
son said the cost of the land should
be limited to not more than 10 per
cent Of the total authorization.
The site for the proposed medical
center has not been selected, but Rear
Admiral Perceval S. Rossiter. the
surgeon general, disclosed that two
sites on Conduit road are under con-
sideration-one at American Uni
versity and the other on the East
West Highway near the entrance to
Rock Creek Park. He said another
desirable site, which can not be seri-
ously considered because of the cost,
is the Mclean estate.
Admiral Rossiter disclosed that in
designing the new medical center q
600-bed hospital would be the nucleus
with possible expansion to 1900 to
1900 beds to meet wartime needs
The question of wartime requirements
resulted from q statement by Repre-
sentative Mas, Republican, of Mime
sofa, that the basis Of expansion is
overestimated, that there Is no neec
at the present time for more beds anG
that in the future the bed requirement
would decrease.
The present hospital, which has III
beds, IS wholly inadequate, Admira
Rossister said. He emphasized that or
the present site there is no room fol
wartime expansion. He explained thai

Dictator Infection in i. S.
Many Symptoms Dispose Congress to Resent Further
Encroachment on Its Powers.

To put 1t in an inadequate few
sentences: There Is In the world .
new conception Of society and gov
ernment. It Is one-man government,
personal government, commonly (and
somewhat misleadingly) called die
tatorship. In country after country
OF Europe this new conception has
driven out parliamentary and demo-
cratic government. Since 1917 DEM
ocratic and parliamentary govern
ment has been losing ground every
where.
We think there Is danger that this
may happen In America. We think it
possible for this to happen here as
. mere result Of infection, like a con-
tagious disease.
Mr.. Sinclair Lewis has described the
danger vividly in novel called, IRON
ically, 1T Can't Happen Here"-de-
scrihing just how it could happen here.
Mr.. Lewis wife, Dorothy Thompson,
Is able to recognize the danger be-
cause she was TN Germany when Hit
Ter came to power. Speaking Of Pres
ident Rooeevelt's proposal about the
Supreme Court, Miss Thompson says:
This is the beginning of pure per-
sOnal government" Senator BOrah
had this danger In mind when, in his
philippe on May 6, he said that "in
our own land, men seriously debate
whether democracy is worth saving"
and expressed eloquent alarm about
where we are drifting when we waver
in our fight for democratic principles"
Mr.. Walter Lippmann has come to
recognize the danger. He says:
"He president Roosevelt) has come
to think that the sole function Of
Congress IS to supply him with the
means Of power. Personally, he
wishes to make the laws. either openly
and boldly as in N. r. A., or indirectly
by compelling Congress to ratify what
he proposes. Personally, he wishes to
FIX and control public expenditures.
Personally he wishes to fix the powers
OF all Government departments. Per-
sonally, he wishes to dominate the
courts and to interpret the Constitu-
tion"
That describes the danger in terms
Of actions taken by the President.
Without questioning that way OF put
ting 1t, am willing, If can thus
avoid personalities, to exculpate any
individual from the charge of trying
to bring about the new order In Amer
lea. That such things are contagious
every historian knows
II contagion, what are the symp-
toms? We identify the symptoms
when We find in America parallels to
what has gone on in countries where
the infection has taken. Several
symptoms are pointed out in the pass
age have quoted from Mr. Lippmann.
There are many others, SO many 9TH
ers that a portentous interest at
taches to the outcome of the present
disposition Of Congress to resist fur
| ther encroachment ON its powers.
