"A dangerous assortment of bills is
up for action-bilIs that would cut
the pay of workers at time when
living costs are soaring - bills that
would destroy basic standards of de
cent conditionS-biIs that would i'm
pair the freedom of American workers
and weaken their morale.
Judge One Standard
I'm this hour of crisis Green con
tinued, there is only one standard by
which these bills now before Congress
must be judged. viii they help Amer
ica win the war? Will they strengthen
the hands Of American workers or
paralyze them:
The one person in America best
qualified TO answer these questions is
our Commander-in-chief Pre- ; lent
Roosevelt. What does he say? He
has publicly opposed every one Of these
anti-labor proposals az unnecessary
and harmful to the war effort.
Nor ie he alone in taking this posi-
ton. The heads Of every war agency in
the Government have appeared before
Congress and testified, at open hear
ings in opposition to pending anti-labor
legislation.
Surely" he concluded America
must be guided by their expert guild
ance."

its arms"
Patterson warned, however, that the
next POO days will prove a test period

that we have the most ingenious and

1,700 Additional Bed!
Needed in City Area,
Taft Tells Hospitals
Temporary Concrete
Structures Proposed
On Donated Lond

A total Of 100 additional hos
pital beds is needed for the Met
ropolitan Area, Charles P. Taft
of the Federal Security Agency
today told representatives of the
Districts public and private hos
pitfalls at a meeting called by
Commissioner Mason to consider
necessary hospital expansion.
Mr.. Taft warned, however, that
the pending Lanham bill from which
some funds will be available for Dis
trict hospital facilities would prob
ably not provide funds for more than
700 beds for the District alone
Commissioner Mason requested
the private hospitals to form a spe-
cial committee to decide at which
hospitals the additional beds could
pest be built. The plan contemplates
construction Of two-story concrete
temporary structures on land to be
donated by the hospitals to the Fed
eral Government.
For the surrounding territory Mr..
Taft said at least so and perhaps
100 beds should be added to facili-
ties in Alexandria, $50 beds for Ar
hngton County, $50 for Prince
Georges County, which is now plan
ming a private 50-bed hospital. and
100 additional beds in Montgomery
County, preferably in Bethesda.
Two hundred and twenty-five ad-
ditional beds for Gallinger and 400
at Glenn Dale Sanatorium were Mr..
Tafts recommendations on District
public facilities.
