HOSPITAL IS DONATED
AN X-RAY APPARATUS

The donation of an x-ray unit for
the new equipment of the enlarged
Kent and Queen Anne's General Hos
pital has been announced by Mp.
Grace Maxwell, general chairman, as
the first contribution to the $4,000
drive for equipment. Mrs. Maxwell
said the donor preferred to remain
anonymous and that the contribution
reduced the amount to be raised to
approximately $4,000.
In a public appeal, Mrs. Maxwell
said that the new wing would be
ready for occupancy in about six
weeks. At that time it will be neces-
sary to move into the addition in or
der that a remodeling and rear
rangement of the main structure can
take place. This necessitates quick
campaign for the equipment needs.
The new wing will house general
operating room, a sterilizer room, an
x-ray room, an emergency room, a
small operating room, a consultation
room, four private rooms with bath,
two four-bed wards with bath, util-
ity room, a doctors dressing room
and a waiting room.
Contributions may be made to Mrs
Maxwell, the chairman, or to Ray

School Repair
By Contract
Commissioners
Seen as Cool
To Proposal

At least one member of the Board
of Education is known to favor hav-
ing most of the public school re-
pairs done by contract rather than
through the District Repair Shop,
which. from lack of funds, primarily,
is 1000 repair jobs behind on school
work.
1t was pointed out by this pro-
ponent that if the School Board
could let the work out on competi-
tive bids it could determine the
projects which would be repaired
instead of having to clear through
an agency responsible to another
authority-the Commissioners.
Under a contract setup, it was
further added, the Repair Shop
would continue to operate, but only
as an emergency shop,
The question was raised of con-
tract operations during recent dis
cussions between members Of the
board and the Commissioners in an
effort to find some solution 10 the
problem, and though not discarded,
was reported frowf1ed on because it
would reduce the personnel in the
Repair Shop.
AS a result of this conference the
city heads have agreed that the
schools shall determine priorities for
interior work, but that the Repair
Shop shall still continue to have its
own priority list on structural out
side repairs.

July IA, unless opportunity for
earlier move develops during the
coming week. This course of action
was suggested to Mr.. Hunter by
Representative Randolph, Democrat,
of West Virginia. chairman of the
House District Committee.
One of the acts Of the Board of
Education at its final meeting of
the year Tuesday was to extend for
another three months the appoint
ment of Milo F. Christensen as
acting co-ordinator of recreation
Mr.. Christensen is loaned to the
District by the National Park Service
and such loans cannot be for more
than a three month period, although
the loan" is subject to renewal. His
present three-month term does not
expire until August 7, but the board,
which has joint jurisdiction with the
Commissioners over the post, would
not then be in session to reappoint.
Summer Fairgrounds Open.

been favorable. The acting CO.
ordinator has developed a $780,
900 recreation development program
containing many of the pet"
projects of local citizen organiza-
tions. At the recent hearings on the
Hunter bill he produced docu-
mentary evidence to disprove certain
charges that the recreation depart
ment had done away with certain
activities desired by the citizens, and
he urged passage of the bill.
Meanwhile the summer play
ground season of the present recrea-
ton administration got underway
last Tuesday when 108 playground
units were thrown into service by
Mr.. christensen.
Of these, AZ units-mostly school
playgrounds-are additional areas
operated during the summer only.

School and Recreation Needs
Backed by H. c. Phillips
Has Had Long
Civic and PIT. A.
Background
By BAINBRIDGE CRIST.


Although his three children have
left District schools, H. c. Phillips,
delegate to the Federation of Cit
izens' Associations from the Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers, con-
tinues his work in behalf of i'm
proving the school and recreational
facilities of the city.
Mr.. Phillips, who is chairman of
the Education Committee of the
Federation, said in an interview he
had been trying to resign for two
or three years, but had not gotten
very far"
When he testifies before congress
sional committees-which he U.s.
ually does every year, Mr.. Phillips
has Is years of experience in par
ent-teacher groups and IL years of
activity in the Federation behind
him.
1T is quite a job TO prepare tes-
timony for a committee" he re-
marked, but if you keep the COM
mittee records of the Federation up
to date it is really a matter of re-
haShing."
Internal Development Needed.
Mr.. Phillips said he was inter-
ested in no special subject in edu-
cation, but in current things as
they come up" He expressed the
view that too much is being spent
on what he termed outlying
projects" such as super highways,
and that more money was needed
for the development of recreational
areas within the city.
Specifically, he said, he would like
to see a recreational development
on the property of the abandoned
tuberculosis hospital, where the
Dennison Vocational and Health
Schools have been built. There is
room. he pointed out, for a new
Wilson Teachers College on the
south end of the property, ''but the
citizens want the rest for a recrea-

the records of his testimony before
a Senate subcommittee to check
his dates, Mr.. Phillips recalled that,
although in 1929 approximately "a
sites were recommended as suitable
for recreational areas, "only a COM
paratively few have been devel-
oped."
Mr.. Phillips, a tall, lanky New
Englander, who halls from the
State of Vermont, has lived here
"off and on" since 1910 and con-
tinuously since 1924, when he en-
tered the advertising business for
himself. Although he has had to
give up strenuous sports recently,

Civic Leaders Laud OvertOn
AS Senate Fund Unit Head
LOuiSianan
To Retire as
D. G.. Chairman

Civic leaders were unanimous yes
terday in expressing regret that
Senator John H. Overton, Democrat,
of Louisiana was leaving the chair
manship of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee District Subcom-
mittee to assume the higher post of
the Naval Appropriations Subcom-
mittee.
I'VE are losing a good man." de-
clared Harry N. Stull, president of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, "and one who has demon
strated his friendship for the District
over long period of years"
Fred A. Smith, president of the
Board of Trade, said he knew he
could voice the sentiments of the
more than 1000 members that the
District is suffering "a great loss"
in Senator Overton's promotion.
The Washington Board of Trade
has always considered him to be one
of the men its members could rely
on for sympathetic and under
standing viewpoint in all matters
affecting the city," he added.
Effective Equity Advocate.
"He is, we believe, one of the most
effective advocates of Federal
policy of greater equity and justice
toward the Nations Capital" said
Mr.. Smith. I'VE know, however.
that he is interested in the District
of Columbia so deeply and so whole
heartedly that we may continue to
look to him for support on all meri-
torious District legislation. We wish
him great success in his new under
taking"
Recalling that the federation had
indorsed the Overton formula for
fiscal relations between the Federal
Government and the District, Mr..
Stull said the citizens were loath to
see the Senator give up the i'm
portant appropriations post. He
cited not only the Louisianan's
knowledge of District affairs but his
understanding of the local problems.
Senator Overton's interest in the
public schools-second only probably
to his interest in working out an
equitable fiscal relationship for the
city-was lauded by Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle. president of the
Board of Education.
Left Sick Bed.
Mrs Doyle recalled the time some
two years ago when Chairman Over
ton left sick bed against the recon-
mendation Of his physician to tour
some of the weak points in the
school system on sweltering sum-
mer day.
From this tour resulted the school
replacement program under which
ancient, out-moded, inefficient eight
room structures are to be replaced
over period of years and consoli-
dated into fine new buildings Of
larger capacity. A start on the pro-
gram has already been made to
replace the Cranch-Tyler Schools
and the Brent-Dent combination.
During the tour he visited the
Brentwood site for the proposed new
Abbot Vocational School and ap-
proved it. The 1912 budget contains
appropriation.for the school at this
site.
The Senator's fiscal formula which
would have established Federal pay
ment to District expenses in the
same ratio that Federally-owned
acreage here bears to the total
acreage of the city, was passed by
the Senate and killed by the House.
Had it been approved. it would have
added about 50 100000 to the present
Federal payment of $6,000,000.
