be impossible to remodel these
tructnres to meet the state build

to eliminate he unsanitary condi-

will use whatever laws we car
to make this possible"

NO WACE-FREEZINC

MT. Green placed the Federation on record against any freezing of wages. He pointed out that priorities orders had increased unemployment and called for the quick transforma- tion of the affected plants into de- fense production factories. He also indicated the foresight of the Execu- tive Council by referring to the ALL. request to President Roosevelt for the appointment of a committee repre- senting labor, industry and the public to draw up plans for postwar con- struction.
 Above and beyond all we want to plan for the launching of the most stupendous housing program that has ever been conceived in America"
 MT. Green informed the delegates that the American Federation of La Dor was ready and willing to meet at any time" with committee from the C.I.O. for the purpose of bringing the CLIO. back into the American Federation of Labor
 MORE PLANES
 He called on labor to give even more than ever before. More planes and more munitions must be produced. He pointed out that man hours lost through strikes had been ''inconsequen- tial indeed.''
 He repeated again and again the seriousness of the present emergency. ''The murder of hostages in Europe is one evil dence of cruelty that stands out above all others in all wars of history. We realize now more than ever the menace to our lib- erty, to our freedom and to our form of government"

Newsman lined For Not Assisting Cop

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-Joseph S. Gelders, circulation manager of the Southern News Almanac, has been fined $25 for refusing to assist an officer" who was clubbing a helpless Negro.
 Gelders saw crowd around the car of Patrolman C. H. Mason on a downtown street. Using first his blackjack and then his revolver butt, Mason was beating a mentally defec- tive Negro who had been arrested for vandalism.
 When Gelders started to write down the number of the cops badge and automobile, he was arrested. In re- corder's court the cop denied striking his prisoner and said that Gelders had refused to summon another officer. Misdemeanor charges against the Negro were later dropped.

Eviction
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) Edward V. Foley, Homes Registra- tion director and Oscar Monrad, dep. uty defense director for New Haven also attended the meeting.
 At this conference, it was pointed out that an eviction must go through four stages. 1.-The landlord serve, a notice to quit on the tenant. D. An attorney draws up a summary process which is turned over to the sheriff to serve, the third stage. Fi- nally a justice of peace hears the case when and if the tenant appeals.
 The Fair Rent Committee will hold another meeting next week with the Bar Committee in an effort to receive records of ev- cry eviction notice served. Mir. Gebhardt calls for the creation of ''clearing house of all evic- tiOns'' perhaps through the sher- iff's office.
 The Fair Rent Committee for New Haven was appointed six weeks ago by Col. Samuel H. Fisher of the State Defense Council on the recommendation of Mayor John w. Murphy.

&C. A. Inaugurates
Discount Buying

A discount buying plan for the
benefit of residents of GreenbeIt
was initiated by the Citizens AS
ISOLATION last week. The plan will
permit holders of an Association
membership card to purchase var
ious commodities ranging. from
electrical appliances, radios, and
furniture to automobiles on a
cash basis.
The executive committee of the
Association reported that mem
bership cards are in the process of
being printed and that they will
be distributed by the block cap
tains. The cards will serve the
purpose of Identification of men,
bers as well as an index to the
stores, articles and approximate
discounS which will appear on its
reverse side. The principle of dis
count buying has long been a pol
icy of various federal agencies
and the Association thought it
time that Greenbelt residents be
afforded an opportunity to buy ar
ticles at lower than popular retail
prices. :
For the information Of Green
belt residents-every person liv-
ing in town becomes a member of
the Association by attending reg
uIar meetings. The block captains
who will distribute cards are as
follows:
Block A, Milton Carson; Block
3, James Smith; Block C, Rolfe
Sauls; Block D, Fred DeJaeger;
Block E, Sam J. Creggar; Block
y, Harold Uhrig. Approximately
500 cards will be printed and the
distributing of these to block
captains will be supervised by
Stan 0stler, chairman of the mem
bership committee of G. C. A.

By Betsy Woodman


All members of the Prince Geor-
ges County Medical Society have
endorsed the erection of a county
hospital. After a two-year study,
findings of committee represent
ing the County Federation of Cit
iyens' Associations showed a deci-
ded need for a county-financed
hospital as far back as 1887. A
nucleus of county residents, organ
lieu as the Prince Georges Coun-
ty Hospital Association, has agi-
tated for such a hospital since
1889. Last March the state legis-
lature passed a permissive bill
authorizing the county commits
sioners to float a 100000 bond
issue for the construction of such
an institution.
A recent letter from County
Health Officer J. H. Byers as
serts: "The difficulty in getting
county residents hospitalized has
rapidly increased in the last year
and now has reached a point at
which, if adequate hospital facil-
tiles are not provided in the i'm
mediate future for Prince Georges
County, there is a grave danger
tnaC the control of communicable
diseases, especially diseases in the
epidemic form as acute poliomye-
Etis or influenza would completely
collapse in this county under the
added strain"
AS yet, the county commission
els apparently did not "deem it
necessary" to float the bond issue
until recent group pressure forced
a showdown vote which showed
the commissioners divided three to
two in favor of the issue.
There is, of course, more to the
story now. In the original survey
it was estimated that a 150-bed
hospital capable of caring for
400 patients a year, and costing
between 100000 and $4OO, 900
would be adequate. Now, increased
population in the county, plus the
advance of building costs has made
the commissioners seek an addi-
tional 100000 federal loan under
the Lanham Act.
In answer to the commissioners
charge that a 100000 annual
maintenance fee would have to be
raised by an increased tax rate,
Hospital Association officials con-
tend that the hospital could be
maintained with the money which
the county now spends for hospi-
tilization of county charity cases
in Washington institutions. It is
estimated that the commissioners
spend $4,000 annually for this
purpose, and that other county
civic agencies spend another $62,-
coo. Besides these amounts, there
would be the income from the pay
ing patients which doctors in the
County Medical Association are
certain would average about so
per doctor in years tine.
Although additional suggestions
Greenbelt cooperator. (Greenbelt, Md.) 1937-1954, 1941-09-19
Prince Georges County May
Yet Get Its Hospital

on money-raising have been made,
such as Hospital Association Pres
ident Frank Fierstein's that the
Laurel and Bowie race track and
the automobile track al Lanham
be asked to designate two days
during each season as Hospital
days., with the proceeds to be
turned over to the county for the
maintenance of the hospital, no
action worthy of note has been
taken by the commissioners.
The Hospital Association has
met spasmodically with a varied
group of people in attendance.
Meetings in the last year have
concerned themselves with non
integrated discussions of what peo-
pie should be on what committees.
BY the time the group convened
again, new committees and person.
mel were deemed necessary. There
was no lack of evidence that all
we're of the opinion that there was
an acute need of hospital, and
that all were willing to work hard
to bring it's existence about.
Everything indicated that the next
steps were not in the laymen's
hands.
Discussions of location were
heated and badly out of JOINT Most
Corners, doctors and laynen alike,
made the where" of the hospital
a personal issue, as though having
it in their town would give them
some personal accomplishment.
This feeling, however, has dimin-
ished recently, and now that loca-
ton of new county roads mas been
established, the question of place
viii be more easily answered. Ex-
cept to say that the hospital must
be centrally located, and not in
city, the Association has now left
selection of locality to the COM
missioners.
A most enterprising publicity
man has been able to keep stories
OF activity concerning the hospital
in Washington papers, and to make
it appear that work on the pro-
ject is more integrated than 1t
really is,
A recent development, and
concrete one, was the appointment
Gf subcommittee to coordinate
hospital plans from the Associa-
tio1 between the County Medical
S,ciety and the County Commits
sioners. DR.. Morton Kane, DIR.
Lewis Jimal, and architect Paul
Keys comprise this committee.
A County Hospital Guild already
has been organized with Mrs. N.
G. Tayman as leader. The Guild,
with able support of the women Of
the county, is planning campaign
for maintenance funds the week of
October 1925, and will conclude
the week with a silver tea and
dance at the Beaver Dam Country
Club October 25.
At the present time the Hospl-
tal Association will not concern It
self with further discussion of ad-
ministrative details. Mr.. flerstein
says, ave are primarily to aid and
assist in procuring the hospital,
but will leave its operation to the
County Medical Society and the
county commissioners"
