FIJI. A. Pay Roll Seen
Jeopardized by
Senate Group
$Z,500,000, However,
MAY Be Restored
At Luter Time

The Federal Housing Administra-
ton, with about 1000 employees in
Washington and approximately the
same number in the 1ield, would be
without authority to meet its March
pay rolls if the independent Offices
appropriation bill fsally passes a.
reported from the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee yesterday, accords
ing to officials of the agency.
The committee struck out House
provision allowing the Housing Ad-
ministration to use s., 500 900 of next
years authorization Immediately
According to officials of the agency
the liberalized housing loan law
passed in 1888 resulted in such a
heavy increase in the business and
administrative work of F.. H. A. that
the amount authorized by the last
Congress for operating expenses for
the current fiscal year will run out
in March, four months ahead of
time.
Restoration Possibility.
There is still a possibility, how
ever, of the $2,50O,00O authorization
being restored to the pending bill
on the floor of the Senate next
week, or later in conference with
the House.
Also s5,oOO,ooo deficiency esti-
mate to meet the pay roll until
June 80 has been sent to the Capt.
tol and may be considered in the
next general deficiency bill, but that
measure may not 60 through in time
for use in March Accordingly, the
House put the $2,5OO,OO in the
pending independent Offices bill
Yesterdays developments recalled
that request for this F. H. A. sup
Elemental fund also was made to
the Senate committee at hearings
on the first deficiency bill several
weeks ago, but not granted. In the
hearings at that time Senator
Adams, Democrat, of Colorado ad-
monished F. H. A. officials regard
ing the anti-deficiency law, part OF
which requires all appropriations for
contingent expenses or other general
purposes to be apportioned so as to
avoid expenditures in one part OF
the year which may necessitate de-
ficiency appropriations, except in
unusual circumstances.
Advised to Use Funds.
Spokesman for F. H. A. testified
they consulted the Budget Bureau
when they found the new housing
law was likely to make their oper-
ating expense fund inadequate. and
were advised to 60 ahead and use
the money they had and come up
for deficiency as they needed it.
"Of course, the thing I do not like
is for the Budget Bureau to tell you
that you may disregard the law
Senator Adams responded.
One official suggested the Budget
Bureau may have viewed this as an
unusual circumstance, but Senator
Adams insisted that was beyond the
function of the bureau. F. H. A.
has about s25 900 900 to it's credit in
the Treasury, officials said, but the
amount available for administrative
expenses must be specified by Con-
gress.

Rutland Supported
ByHazeni in Stand
On Ga||inger Control
Accepts View Stotus Of 5
Resident Physicians
Should Continue

Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen to-
day gave support to Health Officer
George c. Rutland in the contro-
versy over the major departments
at Gallinger Hospital.
Mr.. Hazen said he was willing to
accept the recommendations of DR..
Ruhland's advisory committee, which
took the position that the present
status of the five resident physicians
should be continued.
There was no clear statement from
any quarter as to just what the
present status" is, since the Ad-
visory Committee recommended that
conferences be held with the medical
schools of George Washington and
Georgetown Universities to see if a
working arrangement" satisfactory
both to the schools and Health De-
partment could be agreed upon.
DR.. Ruhland consulted with Com
sioner Hazen today as to what re-
ply he should make to Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee, who proposed that the
five resident physicians should be
deprived of control of the depart
ments, which he suggested be re-
turned to the medical schools. Mr..
Hazen advised the health officer to
restrict his reply to an acknowledge
ment until after further conferences
have been held with officials of the
universities.
Another Farley Planned.
Health Officer Rutland planned
today to hold another confer
ence, possibly early next week,
tory settlement of the controversy.
After the first meeting yesterday
between DR.. Rutland and Very Rev.
Arthur OLeary. S. j., president of
Georgetown University, and DR..
Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of
George Washington University, the
trio issued formal statement stat
ing merely that progress" had beer
made.
The controversy developed over
the appointment of five full-time
resident physicians at Gallinger to
take charge of major departments
there. For about 20 years volun-
teer physicians, members of the
stats OF the medical schools of the
two universities, have been in con-
troll of these departments.
Prerogatives Not Destroyed.
DR.. Rutland insisted yesterday
that the prerogatives of the visiting
physicians had not been destroyed
by the appointment of the five full
time resident physicians.
The District Commissioners re-
vealed yesterday an agreement had
been entered into by spokesmen for
the medical schools and the District
Health Department following a con-
ference with the Commissioners last
August II, under which the old ar
rangement would be continued for
trial period of one year, despite
the appointment of the five full
time men.
There were indications at the
District Building that the whole
controversy, which has been carried
to the House District Committee.
turned on the question of whether
this truce" of last August had been
carried out.
Responding to questions from re-
porters late yesterday, DR.. Rutland
declared, Il most assuredly do not
believe that the agreement has been
violated"
