Use Of Fire Stations
And Public Schools as
Hospitals Considered
Proposal Comes Up in
Connection With
Addition to GolIinger

Use of public school buildings or
fire stations as emergency hospitals,
if needed in an attack on Washing
ton, is being considered by the Dis
trict Commissioners, it was revealed
late yesterday.
No definite plans were concluded,
but the subject came up in connec-
ton with proposals the city heads
fostered earlier yesterday for a
million-dollar addition to Gallinger
Municipal Hospital, while they
viewed Washington's potential needs.
They said that if the need should
arise canvas tent hospitals could be
erected quickly at many places.
Health Officer George c. Rutland
long has advocated construction OF
a new wing at Gallinger to provide
specifically for maternal and child
welfare cases. development which
would relieve congestion generally
through the municipal hospital
plant. District officials said they
believed this need was strengthened
by possibilities for national defense
here 1t was in this connection that
possible use of public schools and
fire stations arose for discussion.
Commissioner Guy Mason revealed
last week end that he was having a
technical survey made of Washing
ton hospital facilities to determine
just how many hospital beds were
available and how many were cur
rently being used. He said the COM
missioners needed this data in con-
nection with programs for expan-
sion of public and private hospital
facilities.
The District Commissioners, it
was said, will indorse programs to
provide funds for construction of
additions to existing private hos
pitalS, although the District Gov
ernment would not be responsible
for meeting any part of the cost.
However, it was added. from six
months to year and half would
be needed to complete such con-
struction programs and that on this
basis emergency steps must be con-
sidered to meet what might be
emergency conditions.

Axis Embassies Face
Difficult Problem in
Disposing Of Autos
Titles Questionable
Because of Seizure
Of Enemy Assets

Although the diplomatic and flnan-
cial status of automobiles belonging
to the German, italian and japanese
Embassies still was undetermined. a
brisk business was going on today
at the Italian Embassy in car dicker-
ing.
From official American sources, 1t
question as to whether an American
citizen who buys one of these
foreign-owned cars could get final
title to it. 1t was said that before
the title could pass from the foreign
owner, now an alien enemy of the
United States, to the American
citizen. the buyer would have to get
a license from the Foreign Funds
Control of the Treasury Depart
ment.
Some diplomatic angles are in
volved in the transaction, however,
and it was believed possible that the
problem may have to be worked out
between the prospective buyer, the
Treasury and the State Department.
No Announcement Made.
No formal pronouncement has
been made by the State Department
as to the status of such property be-
longing to the Embassy itself or to
its officials.
At the Italian Embassy one of the
cars being shown off by an embassy
secretary was a 1910 convertible
coupe. A prospective buyer offered
the secretary $500 for the car but
the secretary held out for s100 more
which. he said, some one else had
offered him.
Several other prospective Gus
toners came to inspect at least two
cars offered for sale. One of these
said he understood employees of the
italian Embassy had been trying
to sell their cars for a month and
that most of them had been bought
in by dealers.
He said he had suggested to an
embassy secretary that buying the
cars might be considered trading
| with the enemy" by the Government
to which the secretary had no
answer.
Might Be Seized.
A customer said he was afraid to
buy car for which cash was de-
manded because it might be seized
by the Government.
F. B. I. men stationed before the
chancery said they had no instruc-
tions about the cars and were al
lowing embassy employees to show
them of until further notice.
1t was not disclosed whether any
cars have actually been sold since
war was declared.
Property belonging to German and
italian nationals in this country are
subject to restrictions of general
