Ga||inger will Use
Frame Buildings
Despite Agreement
District Officials Assert
tuberculosis Cases
Can Be Treated There

The District Health Department to-
day planned to place in use some time
in July the 226-bed tuberculosis
Ward Building at Gallinger Hospital,
erected at a cost of s456,000, but
spokesmen for the department said
1t still would be necessary to use
some of the old frame buildings on
the hospital grounds, despite their
age.
A declaration that at least some
Of the old frame buildings must be
used came from DR.. Daniel L. Seek
niger, assistant health officer, who
supervises hospital operations. The
declaration recalled that gentle
mems agreement" that the frame
structures would be razed when the
new buildings were put into serv-
ice was reached about year ago.
This promise was eXacted by Repre-
sentative Collins. Democrat. of Mis-
sissippi, who at that time was chair
man of the subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee in
charge Of the District supply bill.
However, some District officials
outside the Health Department to-
day supported the tentative plans
of the department, insisting that
conditions had changed and that
the department should not be neld
to the understanding. The point
was made that there has been an
increase in the number of tubercu-
losis cases, which should be hos
pitalized in the old buildings if other
facilities were not available.
DR.. Seckinger declared further
there was need for funds for con-
struction of cottages for the care of
chronic tuberculosis patients, and
he suggested the grounds at the Tu-
a berculosis Sanatoria at Glenn Dale.
Md, as the site.
"We find that patients admitted to
the medical ward building at Gal
1inger are suffering from contagious
forms of tuberculosis, said Dr.
Seckinger. "They should be moved
to a tuberculosis unit
District officials are to make
final inspection of the new tubercu-
losis ward building at Gallinger at
$50 am. tomorrow Funds for
equipment of the building are in
cluded in a deficiency bill now
awaiting congressional approval.

Withdraw From China

American military planes and minor
quantities Of dynamite, powder AND
other war munitions, had been UNI
loaded and stored there pending
the hoped-for reopening Of the
Burma road. They were consigned
to China, and the dispatch said that
it was understood the Chinese gov

The north China garrisons, es-
tablished under the Boxer war pro-

order and thus always have been
regarded as essentially different
from the garrison at the crown col
ony Of Hong Kong.
It was stated that Britain has
no intention Of Withdrawing forces
from Hong Kong, where extensive
defense preparations have been
made.
u. 8. Has No Comment
Washington, Aug. 9.-(UP)-State
department spokesman declined
comment today on Britains deci-
sion to withdraw her troops from
Shanghai and North China. They
would not say whether there was
any possibility that U. s. troops
also might be withdrawn.
This country has about 1900 ma
rines in the Far East, approximate
ly 1000 Of which are in Shanghai
and about 200 in Tientsin and 300
in Pieping.
Until now, American marines
have shared with the British the
work Of preserving order in the
Shanghai international settlement
and withdrawal Of the latter leaves
the marines holding the area
alone. U. s. troops first were sent to
Shanghai in 1927 after consultation
with the British and French.
French troops police the French
concession which is separate from
the international settlement.

London, Aug. 9.-(UP)-Survivors
of a British convoy in the English
Channel said today that a might
mare" attack by German torpedo
speed boats had sunk five vessels
with total tonnage of 5,039 tons.

officer said.

only be described as a nightmare.
When ships were hit they were lift
ed right out of the war. We didn't
have an earthly chance"
(The Nazi high command claimed
that the speed boat attack had sunk
IL British ships with a total tom
mage of $1,000 tonS.)
Airplanes participated in the at
tack, the survivors said.
In addition to the five ships sunk,
seven others were damaged but were
towed to port.

stroyed by gunfire from an escort
warship.

for three of the five ships sunk. Two
others were sunk by airplanes. The
seven damaged ships were small.

engagement yesterday shows the
British have now devised . concen-
trated air defense for chanel con-
voys making German offensives IN
this area very costly.
Future WIN Ten
Whether the cost Is too great for
the results win be shown by future
German action. II there Is no quick
resumption Of German offensives
over the channel, the conclusion
must be that the British defense
has been found too effective. In
any such engagement, the home air
force has q definite advantage in
resisting an enemy air attack. A
large part Of the enemy planes are
bombers, dependent on fighting
planes for protection. AL Of the
defending planes, on the other hand,
are fighters. Thus, the counter-of-
fensive Of the home planes, in the
aggregate, possesses more attacking
strength for air battles with fewer
planes.
British figures show 400 German
planes were engaged with q loss Of
90. It has been shown in various
ways since the beginning Of the war
that while the British conceal at
times announcements Of individual
ships that have been sunk, their
statements of aggregate casualties
usually seem factual.
If It be true that the Germans lost
go out Of a total Of 400 planes, this
corresponds to Is percent Of effec-
tives killed In a land battle. No COM
mander could afford continuation
of such slaughter, which would
strain his reserves too severely. The
loss to Germany must be measured
more in terms Of trained airmen
than actual planes.
The Germans may have been
using their massed attack not only
to try to command the channel but
also to gain experience in organic
ing a similar major air offensive
against British land detectives. It Is
difficult, however, to carry through
an attack Of this size because once
the planes are in the air there can
be no central command to direct the
course of battle. The Germans are
trained more to follow orders than to
act ON their own initiative.
The defense has greater advantage
in fighting over land than sea be-
cause Of the numerous air bases
close at hand. A land attack by
German planes similar In size to the
channel attack thus is likely to
cause considerably more casualties.
