COURTS RULING
.CITED IN letter
BY KIRKPATRICK
Enlarged Membership,
Clinic Planned

Strengthened by a United States
District court decision removing
all doubts as to it's legality, Group
Health Association, Inc. today ap-
pealed to all local hospitals to lift
restrictions against its members.
President William c. Kirk
patrick in letters to local hospital
officials cited the court decision
and asked DR.. Raymond E. Seld-
erS, surgeon and medical director
for CHA, be given courtesy privi-
leges in their institutions.
MAKES PLANS
At the same time Group Health
went ahead with plans to become
self sufficient by building its own
hospital and enlarging its men,
bership.
The board of directors of CHA
will meet Monday to pass on a
recommendation of its advisory
committee that an additional
TOO Government employees be per-
mitted to join the 1900 present
members of the association.
ENLARGED CLINIC
At the same time plans to en-
large the present clinic at 1921
I st. N. w., will be supported by
the advisory committee. The
owner of the property in which
the clinic is now housed, when
informed of Justice Jennings Bal
ley's precedentsetting decision in
District Court, Immediately ad-
vised CHA officials that he con-
templated adding another floor to
his building for the use Of the
clinic.
CHA officials said plans for
their own hospital will be set aside
if local institutions lift their re-
strictions against it's members.
Continued refusal of the local hos
pitals to permit CHA members to
be attended by their own surgeon
will expedite plans for conStruc-
ton of a private hospital, it was
said.
MANY OFFERS
Since Justice Bailey's decision,
Kirkpatrick has been deluged with
offers from property owners to
sell CHA a hospital site on the
outskirts of Washington.
From all over the country have
come appeals from interested
groups for information as to how
to establish a clinic similar to
GHA's, since Justice Bailey's de-
cision, it was revealed.

and I'll guarante he wouldn't

Then they could have pulled us
both in through the window. But
he was in a bad mental state
and you never can tell about
those fellows. Maybe they tried
it and figured it wasn't possible.
They certainly tried in every
other way to get him back"

many plans for him. He is the
gift Of God"
So Peggy brennan regards her
fatherless 3-months old son, Rob-
ert Reeves brennan.
Now 81, she has put behind her
the memory of Robert Reeves, for
whose "honor Staying" she stood
trial in New Brunswick last fall.
"I haven't time to think Of
that now, and to feel sorry for
myself" the young mother said
today. "I've devoted my whole
life to the baby. I'll never let
anyone adopt him, and some day
IN see him in college, and maybe
he'll be a doctor"

Peggy is determined to raise the
child herself.
The young mother devotes her
time equally to housework and
studying for the secretary's job

ago she was a vivacious business
school girl. Now she is a quiet,
reserved young matron, with re-
sponsibilities weighing heavily on
her.
MARRIAGE? NOT NOW
Peggy doesn't go cut on dates

parted, but neither Howard
Hughes, millionaire, round-the-
world flier, nor Fay Wray, movie
actress, the principals in the
short scene, was available for
comment today.
Hughes was "trailed" to the
railroad station by a newspaper
man, who Spied the flier debark-

Texan was going to meet Katha-

COLONEL G|FF|N.
ACQUITTED, BUT
GETS REPR|MAND
Verdict Is Returned by
II Army Officers

NEW YORK, July % 0.N.S).
Lieut.. Col. Stewart S. Giffin was
exOnerated with reprimand to-
day on charges of drunkenness
and conduct unbecOming an Of
ficer.
The military court on Cover
nOr's Island returned the ver-
dict after celebrating several
hours.
NEW YORK, July % G.N.S).
Twelve Army officers today de-
liberated the guilt or innocence Of
Lieut.. Col. Stewart S. Gifin, ac-
cused of being disorderly and in
toxicated on six different occa-
Sions.
A two-thirds vote of the court
is necessary for conviction which
would make mandatory the dis
miSSal of Giffin, a veteran who will
be eligible for retirement next
March after 80 years of service.
ADMITS DISLIKE
Complainant against Gifin is
Lieut.. James o. Smith, jr., who
worked with the defendant at a
CCC camp when the alleged es-
capades took place. Unexpectedly
called before the court.martial
board, Smith admitted he dislikes
Gif1n very heartily and stated
he never would have preferred the
charges had Giffin given me a
couple of bucks. -"
On one occasion Smith made a
written demand on Giffin for an
"appreciable sum" of money, the
complainant testified, admitting
he once told Giffin that I'm 60
ing to get you if it's the last thing
I do"
CITES EVIDENCE
Only one of four character wit
nesses called by the prosecution
could testify that Smiths repu-
tation for veracity was good.
In his summation, Lieut.. Col.
George M. Welch, trial Judge advo-
cate, asserted the court must dis.
regard everything except testi,
mony pertaining to the facts al
legged. Smiths character, he
pointed out, is not an issue.
