SHIFT OF HEALTH
-: OFFICES URGED
Hayden Proposes Moving
Headquarters to Old.
tuberculosis Hospital.

Transfer of the headquarters Of the
Health Department from the District
Building to the old tuberculosis hos.
pital ct Thirteenth and Upshur streets
NW.-now unused-was proposed to
the Commissioners today by COL Her
bert Bainbridge Hayden. the new busi-
ness manager Of the department.
The Commissioners took no imme-
diate action except to agree to consider
a proposal to Congress in an urgent
deficiency appropriation request next
January for conversion of the old hos
pital to such purpose.
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, auditor and
budget ofncer, explained that the
building could not now be employed as
q Health Department headquarters be-
cause, first, it would be necessary to
obtain authority from Congress to con-
vert the building from hospital to Of
flee purposes, and. second. because
there are no funds available for the
operation and maintenance Of the hos
pital structure.
The Commissioners explained that
eventually the Health Department
would have. new and more spacious
quarters In the new Municipal Center
Building, but that it might be several
years before this happens. In view
Of this the Commissioners requested
Col. Hayden to complete his estimate
Of the cost of the proposed transfer
to Upshur street and submit the data
as . proposed request for deficiency
appropriation next January.
Outside Of heat and light and janitor
service for the Upshur street plant,
the greatest cost Of the move, it was
said, would be the transfer Of the
departments laboratory.

Randolph to Act in Next
Congress-Sees Success
Eventually.

Representative Randolph, Democrat,
Of West Virginia today announced
that in the next Congress he will
reintroduce . resolution for suffrage
for the National Capital similar to the
measure he sponsored last session. He
expressed confidence that eventually
residents Of the District win be grant,
ed the right of franchise.
Mr.. Randolph was In Washington
today for q flood control conference
with Secretary Ickes and q group Of
citizens from West Virginia and Mary
land, working for construction Of the
Savage River Dam project in the
Upper Potomac River valley as ap-
proved by the Army engineers.
Mr.. Randolph said his suffrage
resolution may be altered slightly to
take into consideration suggestions
made at the hearings before the
Judiciary Committee, when Chairman
summers mcuLOIlcO t1AC PVoClOAAty Va
considering q trial period.
He said he feels definite progress was
made during the past session whereas
previously there has been a disposition
on the part of membership Of the
House to dismiss the subject.
1T seems to me-" he said, that in
the past few months there has been q
change of attitude in the questioning
of many members who seem to feel
that they may. have been derelict in
their duty Is legislators to provide
some sort of franchise for the resi-
dents of the Capital Of the Republic
This is best shown, I believe, by the
attitude Of the House Judiciary Com
mittee itself and BY the encouragement
that has been given for the first time
by Chairman Summers.
The Radolph resolution authorized
national representation and left it to
the discretion Of Congress to decide
when and how much local self govern
ment might be granted.
