suit registration officials in their

Orders on Married Men Issued.
Headquarters liaison officers,
meanwhile. were notifying District
local boards to reconsider cases Of
all married men awaiting induction
with the view TO deferring them in
accordance with virtual order
issued by national headquarters.
Boards have been advised to grant
Glass ratings to all married men
with even a partial dependency
status and men with minor depend
ents. excepting those who obviously
were wed to evade military service.
This radical change in procedure
will necessitate changes in induction
lists already drawn up for the next
few days and will add to the work of
local boards currently engaged in
preparation for the registration to-
morrow.
Boards also were being advised to
defer all registrants over % years,
pending enactment of legislation
which would exempt registrants in
the upper-age brackets from mill
tary service.

Go|Iinger Building Fund Cut;
Must Keep Wooden Quarters

Gallinger Hospital today faced
the prospect of having to retain its
six old wooden buildings, whose
destruction has been recommended
for many years
An item of 100000 for begin
ming of construction of new build
ing to house physicians and in
ternes was stricken from the Dis
trict appropriation bill in \ con-
ference Saturday and thus leaves
the institution with no immediate
prospect of any new buildings to
replace any of the old wooden
structures.
There are six old wooden build
ings at Gallinger, only three of
which are occupied, one of them by
some doctors and internes. More
than 100 tuberculosis patients are
housed in two of the old structures,
one other old building is used for
storage and two so far are vacant.
But the pressure for space to care
for tuberculosis patients constantly
is increasing, 1t was explained, and
there have been requests already to
reopen at least one of the old struc-
lures to provide more room Tor

Gallinger gets new permanent
buildings to replace some of the old
wooden ones, the old ones cannot
be torn down, because the space is
needed.
1t is expected that request will
be made next year for the doctors
quarters.
Gallinger, however, gained some
nurses for the next fiscal year as a
result of the conference report. The
budget for Gallinger had requested
80 nurses, the House cut out 43, the
Senate put back 80 of these, and
they remained in the bill as agreed

of more than 80 nurses with two

eral national defense funds, ap-
propriated to relieve defense areas.
The proposed increase in water
rates to the small consumer to
finance supply expansion was sin
gled out for protest by both Harry
S. Wender, first vice president Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, and A. J. Driscoll of the Mid
city Citizens Association.
Both suggested that the Federal
Government. which receives its
water free, should make its proper
contribution to such expansion,
which they felt was largely neces-
sary due to the defense population
Influx.
Called alarming Proposal"
Mr.. Wender, the first witness, said
the federation was thoroughly" op-
posed to the alarming proposal to
Increase the water rates. He de-
clared the need for expansion was
due to nationel defense influx and
that the small home owner should
not be saddled with the bill.
He likewise suggested that many
of the projects outlined in the High
way Department budget are defense
needs and should, if possible, be met
with Federal defense funds.
Declaring that the proportion OF
Federal payment to District ex-
penses has been getting smaller and
smaller while Federal land acquis1-
ton in the District has been in
creasing, Mr.. Wender left with the
Commissioners a chart in support
of his statements.
Mr.. Driscoll told the Commits
sioners his association felt it "only
right and just that Congress should
make a substantial increase In the
s6,00O,oOO appropriation as the Fed
eral share toward maintaining the
District"
1--WE take this opportunity" he
continued, ito register opposition to
the suggestion of the Water Depart
ment to boost the water rate"

Mr.. Driscoll said efforts should be
made to induce the Government to
assume the cost of all water con-
sumed in Federal buildings and Fed
eral activities, on the same cost
basis now charged other consumers.
Mr.. Driscoll also suggested that
the Northwest health center be built
on the site of the Pope and Henry
Schools, which are being abandoned
by the Board of Education, as a
means of saving the District money
already appropriated for the site.
