House Now Split on Whether
Record Strains Their Eyes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Members of Congress tried a new
parlor puzzle yesterday-does the
Congressional Record hurt the eyes
and, II so, how much?
Representative Rabaut, Democrat,
Of Michigan, advocate of stream
lined formal for the Record, said
1t was easier on the eyes than the
present one and would save the Gov
ernment $l35,OOo.
But Representative Martin, Dem
ocrat, of Colorado said the present
layout was easier on his optics.
"The present Record, with its long
lines, causes double muscular ac-
ton of the eye" Mr.. Rabaut de-
clared. 1T also causes greater
searching action when trying to
locate the next line"
Seeking to back up his opinion,
Representative Rabaut went to DR.
George w. Calver, Capitol physician
The doctor said the new design
would reduce the congressional
eyestrain.
Unwilling to let the issue rest
solely on his own judgment, DR.
Calver put the proposition to the
surgeon of the Army, the surgeon
general of the Navy, the command
ing officer of the Naval Hospital and
DR.. William Thornwall Davis, we'll
known private specialist.
"It is interesting to note" DR.
Calver reported, that these gentle
men are all in favor Of the proposed
change on the basis of the reduc-
ton of strain and eye fatigue"
Representative Martin was un.
shaken. He took both formats tt

Effective Services.
Their services at Gallinger have
already been of the most telling
useful effectiveness, and have made
that institution in this short time
decidedly better institution, not
only in the care of the INDECENT sick,
which is this departments first OBJ
legation and consideration, but also
in providing better teaching facili-
ties for the students of the medical
schools. The retention of these men,
therefore, is in my judgment of
greatest importance to all con-
cerned."
Representative Randolph said last
night he would take no further step
in the situation at Gallinger until
he had studied DR.. Ruhland's reply
At the same time, however, he
reiterated previous statement
that he proposed zealously to focus
public attention on conditions at
the hospital that are bad"
II have just been informed by
employees at Gallinger," he said
that attendants and orderlies are
still working II hours a day, that
the load being carried by the
clinical laboratory has been in
creased by nearly 700 per cent in
the last 10 years and in that
period only one additional full
time technician has been added to
the clinical staff"
In 1929. according to information
given Mr.. Randolph, the clinical
laboratory made $4,000 tests. The
tests last year, he was informed,
totaled 156,523.
IF such conditions as these exist
to the degree as indicated by this
information" he declared, then
the public health program itself
which is to bring about the best
possible care of patients, is de-
stroying the health of the indi-
vidual employees who are carrying
on difficult work, day in and day
OUT
The Health Department said a
study at Gallinger showed that
many maternity patients we're ad-
mitted without having previous
prenatal care, in the period prior
to transfer of the hospital to the
Health Department.
"Inasmuch as syphilis is great
killer of unborn babies and appre-
ciating the need for early medical
supervision of expectant mothers,

The present Record is printed in
two wide columns. The new one
would be in three columns. The
