Dirksen Drafting Measure;
Senators to Study Wars
Effect on Truffic jams

Representative Dirksen, Repubh-
can. of Illinois, announced last night
he would introduce bill this week
to give District officials authority to
fax and control fees for automobile
parking in public garages and on
commercial parking lots.

he charged that present parking
rates are excessive" and indicated
he would sponsor legislation to place
them on "a reasonable basis"

mittee planned a conference this
week with officials of the Public
Roads Administration and Capt. H.

situation.

Control of Rents Cited.
Mr.. Dirksen said that since rents
for housing accommodations have
been placed under control. Congress
by the same token should prevent

The bill, according to Mr.. Dirksen
will be designed as an amendment
to the District license law under
which garages and parking lots are
licensed. In addition to giving Dis
trict officials control over parking
rates, he said, it would provide fol
stricter supervision and inspection

dc. May Erect
Temporary
Hospitals
o. P. M. Ruling Blocks
Permanent Projects
In War Crisis

Temporary buildings may be
erected to meet a shortage of hos
pital facilities in Washington ss a
result of an ONCE of Production
Management ruling that priority
ratings would not be granted for
materials for permanent hospital
construction.
The District Commissioners have
been notified by o. P. M. not TO
hope for favorable action on re-
quests for priority status in the
case of permanent hospital projects,
but they would not be blocked from
undertaking temporary expansion,
it was learned last night.
Attention was focused on the
hospital situation yesterday with
presentation to the Commissioners
and private, non-proflt hospitals of
long-range building program en-
comprising q S9,210000 immediate
project and $11 100000 in deferred
construction in the Metropolitan
Area. The program. submitted by
Health Security Administration, a
Community Chest agency, declared
there now is shortage of 1000 beds.
Mason Expresses Views.
Commissioner Guy Mason said
last night he had received the
40-page H. S. A. survey but had not
had time to study it carefully. He
expressed interest in the long-range
aspect of the program but pointed
out that we're dealing now only
with an emergency. We favor
movement to build additions to hos
pitals, but not construction which
would result in the tearing down Of
old structures now, or the diminu-
ton of a single hospital bed"
Since private hospitals probably
would not want to borrow funds
for construction intended to be only
temporary, it might be advisable to
ask Congress for outright grants to
cover cost OF, emergency expansion,
he suggested.
The Commissioners already have
taken steps to meet increasing de-
mands on Washington hospitals,
Mr.. Mason added. Georgetown
University is being expanded by
addition Of an old school building
adjacent to it at Thirty sixth street
and Prospect avenue NV. The
hospital is to recondition and main
tain the structure, which has been
turned over by the city heads for
duration of the emergency, in con-
! sideration of 81, but is to pay no
taxes.
Old School May Be Used.
Another abandoned school build
ing which had been put up for
sale has been withdrawn, Mr.. Mason
said. 1t is the old Chain Bridge
School, now being held for possible
emergency use
DR.. George c. Rutland. District
health officer. is surveying school
buildings. warehouses and other
structures to plan where cots could
be placed temporarily TO take care
of AFRAID victims.
The H. S. A. report condemned
hospital facilities in the Capita
as largely "a patchwork of pas
decades"
Based on general knowledge
of the situation in various section;
of the United States" it declared
"it may be asserted that in the
Nations Capital a greater proper
ton of the sick are being cared fol
in obsolete. hazardous, non-ireproot
buildings than in any other large
city in the country"
