TENANTS HOLD
HOUSEWARM|NC

Southwest Washington bios
somed into a social center when
social, civic and housing leaders
gathered for housewarming cere-
monies in Sternberg courts, new
model low-coSt apartments at o,
P and Third Streets and James
Greek Parkway Southwest.
The courts were named for
Gen. George M. Sternberg, who
was surgeon general of the Army
from 1893 to 1902, and who
founded the Washington Sanitary
Housing Company, slum clear
ance corporation. This company
constructed the apartment houses
on a block formerly occupied by
a brickyard.
The 56-apartment project is
completely tenanted. The apart
mentS, of one and two bedroom
size, rent for from $32 to $44.
The rental agents say because of
the policy of accepting only mod
crate income groups, several ap-
plicants with incomes of $1,000 a
year were turned away.
Mrs. Roosevelt was to have at
tended the ceremonies, but sent
word she could not come. Pre-
siding over the affair was DR..
Leroy A. Halbert, chairman of the
Clara D. N,ligh committee. Tri-
butte to General Sternberg was
paid by Appleton P. Clark, jr.,
president of the housing company.
The ceremonies were held in the
Apartment of Harry S. Wender,
president of the Southwest Citi-
zenS Association.

Tuberculosis Fight
On TWO Fronts

Treatment Of tuberculosis pa
tients in Washington continued to
be the source Of dissatisfaction on
two fronts today.
DR.. George C. Ruhland, health
officer, has temporarily" ordered
the segregation of adults and chill
dren at the Glenn Dale Sana-
torium, but intends to put the
matter up to the tuberculosis
Advisory Board this week. His
change in policy was effected only
to stop the argument, he said.
On the other hand, a complaint
has been made that tuberculosis
patients have been forced to leave
the hospitals uncured in order to
lend support to their families.
This charge was contained in a
letter sent to DR.. A. Baiklie Coul-
ter, director Of the Districts Bu-
reau of tuberculosis, by Gerald W.
Feunel, a patient at Glenn Dale,
who said:
II am personally acquainted
with numerous cases of tuber.
culosis patients, who, against
their wills and better judgment,
were forced to terminate their
hospital treatments to help re-
lieve the distressed economic
status of their families. Remove
the menace of want from the
families of these people, and
their cooperation, which now is
withheld because of fear or need,
will be given"

ALLEN TO ASK
ADDED F u N D S
FOR GALLINGER
King Also to Press
For ALLEGATION

Commissioner George E. Allen
announced today he will seek aid
of the Budget Bureau for addi-
tional funds for much-needed i'm
provements and repairs at Calm
ger Hospital.
With his fellow Commissioners,
Allen was scheduled to go before
the Budget Bureau today for a
wind-up session on the Districts
1889 appropriation bill. The Com
missioners recommended a budget
of near so million dollars for the
coming year.
PLEA THIS SESSION
Allen said he will make his plea
for the bureaus aid at this session.
In the Health Departments bud
get recommendations for the COM
ing year for Gallinger Hospital
was an item for $150,000 to start
a new medical building at the
Institution.
Health Officer George C. Ruh-
land declared some of the over
Crowding at the hospital might be
reduced if his department was
given the old tuberculosis HoSpi-
tai building, Fourteenth and Up
Ehur Streets Northwest, as con-
valescent ward. The old hospital
site also is being sought by the
Fairgrounds Department as q
recreational center and by the
Board of Education as a site for
a new Wilson Teachers College.
KING TO ACT
Half a million dollars to rehabil-
itate the hospital and relieve over
crowding will be asked by Senator
William H. KING of Utah, chair
man of the Senate District Com
mittee, when the committee takes
up the District budget in January.
Senator King said today he did
not agree with the American Med
ical Associations estimate that an
expenditure of between $4,000, 900
and $4,000,0 900 would be justified
at Gallinger, and thought $780,
900 would meet the present prob
lem.
He said he would ask the Sen
ate subcommittee to accompany
him to Gallinger and other Dis
trict institutions to see for them
selves just what is needed in the
way Of new buildings and equip
ment.

DEMOCRATS SEE
SPLIT IN COUNTY

HYATTSVILLE, Md, Nov. 90.
Increasing sentiment against con-
tinuation of the "Old Line" Demo
cratic regime in Prince Georges
county has given rise to a fear
among party bosses that there will
be q split before the Democratic
primaries next fall.
Agitation for the third party
has occurred principally in the
metropolitan area of the county
which carries nearly two-thirds Of
the total vote, according to leaders.
The movement began several
months ago when several promi-
nent straight ticket" voters de-
clared their intention of boiling
the party if suitable candidates
were found.
MAY BACK JACKSON
Neither the proponents of the
third party plan nor the old liners
are certain as to what form the
split will take if the move becomes
organized. For the. last 20 years
the county has been under the rule
Of the party bosses who were in
office when Albert C. Ritchie first
went into office. That group is
now Solidly backing Lansdale G..
SaSscer, of Upper Marlboro, presi-
dent of the Maryland senate, for
the governorship in 1898.
The third party may decide to
drop their support of SaSscer
and back Mayor Howard Jackson
of Baltimore, or one of the other
five outstanding candidates, or
may bolt the party completely
and vote for a Republican candi-
date. No Republican has yet filed
candidacy for the governorship.
COUNTY POSTS OPEN
Since there is small likelihood
Of a statewide fusion or coalition
party. third party advocates fore
see the possibility of their back
ing either SasScer or jackson for
governor but selecting their own
slate for county offices.
Principal posts to be filled in
the next election in Prince
Georges are states attorney, five
county commissioners. sheriff
and deputy sheriff, county treas
urer, several positions in the
county delegation to the state leg
lslature and a state Senator to
fill the vacancy left by Sasscer's
candidacy for Governor.

These lawyers who have fol-
lowed the courts activities for
years, said it was the general
practice of the tribunal to obtain

on forthcoming rulings.
They pointed out that in a re-
cent case involving the alien prop

patched for a certain document
which was cited in the courts de-

WILL WE'D ON JUNE
FIRST OR SECOND

MONTS, France, May IL. (UP)
Mrs. Wallis Warfeld and the
Duke of Windsor will be married
on June | or June 2, the United
Press learned last night.
The dates were set after much
discussion as to the ceremony,
guests and honeymoon plans. Ac-
cording to present plans it will
be civil ceremony conducted by
Mayor Charles MERCER of Monts,
advocate of big families.
Best information was that the
Duke Of Kent, Edwards brother,
will be the best man. The Duchess
of Kent will accompany her hus-
band to the wedding.
The former wife of Ernest A.
Simpson, wealthy London ship
broker, legally became Mrs. Wal
lis Warfeld yesterday, although
servants at the Chateau de Cande
previously had been instructed to
call her that. The legal change OF
name was made by British deed
poll. The announcement was
made by Herman l.. Rogers,
American friend Of the Duke and
his bride-to-be, who has acted as
her spokesman since she fled from
London to France the night be-
fore Edward abdicated.
Mrs. Warfeld's London lawyers
made application for the change
four days ago and notified, her
yesterday the petition had been
granted. O.,
The duke and Mrs. Warheld
spent part of the day trying out
their new radio, over which they
hope to listen to the broadcast OF
the coronation of King George vi.
Edward was reported angry
with photographers who constant,
ly dog his steps. 1t was reported
he considered leaving the castle
and returning to Austria with
Mrs. Warfeld, but she prevailed
upon him to remain after ~
French and English police receiv-
ed instructions to keep photog-
raphers away from the castle.

BREAKS OVER

ment Clash Over Attend
ance on Wedding
KENT MAY ATTEND
INC0GNIT0, IS SAID

LONDON, May IL. (UP)-A
clash between the royal family
and the government has broken
out behind the scenes at the
height of the coronation festivi-
ties over the wedding of Wallis
Warfeld and the Duke of Wind
Sor.
The United Press learned today
that the royal family wishes to be
represented officially at the we'd
ding but the government has adj
vised against any member being
present officially or otherwise.
The governments position
against British royalty being
present at the wedding would be
tantamount to forbidding it, but
the situation now is deadlocked.
Observers foresee a compromise
whereby the Duke Of Kent would
attend the wedding incognito.
