First Hospital Report to Cover
Major D. C.. Institutions
WPB ConsuItonts to Visit 10 More
Before Submitting Final Survey

FWA recommendations were based
/ on criterion of four beds per 1000
persons present or anticipated
within the year" as specified in an
agreement signed last July by
Maury Maverick as director of the
Bureau of Governmental Require
ments for the War Production
| Board and Maj Gen. Philip B
| Fleming as administrator of the
| Federal Works Agency.
C0nsultants Disagree.
A WPB spokesman indicated yes
terday that the corsultants Go not
favor more than three and a half
beds per 1000 popula ion, even
though four was agreed on as a
maximum By both Vy2B and FWA.
The consultants are convinced
the District needs more beds, but
there is scme question in their
minds as to how many it should
get" the spokesman said. I'VE are
IN an emergency. If local needs can
be met with an average of three
and a half beds per 1000 persons.
then let's add that many and send
the rest to Africa"
The provisions of the agreement,
/ which were worked out before the
hospital projects were prepared by
FWA, were settled on as a criteria
for determination of war urgency
Upon them would be predicated
issuance of effective priority GER
tificates and the ALLEGATION of neces-
sary materials, it was announced
at the time the agreement was
reached.
The Federal Works Agency agreed
to submit no proposal to the WPB
| for a priorities certificate or allo-
cation of material unless the fol-
lowing circumstances existed:
l. It Is essential for the war effort.
2. Postponement of construction
would be detrimental to the war
effort.
3. 1t is not practical to rent or
convert existing facilities for the
purpose.
4. The construction will not re-
suit in duplication or unnecessary
expansion of existing plants or ia
cllltles now unless construction or
about to be constructed.
D. All possible economies have been
made in the project, resulting in
| deletion of all none essential items
and parts
6. The projects have been de-
signed Of the simplest type, Just
sufficient to meet the minimum re-
quirements.
7. Sufficient labor, public utilities.
transportation, raw materials. equip
ment and the like are available to
build and operate the plant.
Other Agencies Can Advise.
To aid it in reaching decisions
concerning these points, the FWA
Is permitted to call on other Gov
ernment agencies for advice. In
the case of hospitals. this has been
the United States Public Health
Service. If the project concerned
schools, the Office of Education
would be consulted. or, if it were
some military undertaking, the
Army or Navy would be consulted
The agreement further specified
that no hospital project would be
recommended for priority assist

ployment, including the expansion of
the armed forces, longer average
hours of work. the relative gain of
workers in the higher-paid indus
tries and the advance in hourly wage
rates are the principal factors ac-
counting for the current rise in wage
and salary disbursements.
Farm Income to Increase.
This upward trend of total wages
and salaries must continue In 1943
as the total of military and civilian
employment continues to expand
and as extensions are made in the
average work week. even If there is
substantial wage stabilization during
the year ahead" Mr.. Jones said.
Agricultural net income is ex-
pected to continue its expansion in
l943. The rise in farm prices has
been the ajor factor in this years
upswing in farm income. Another
important factor is the substantial
increase in agricultural production.
1T is now evident that in 1912
We have duplicated the tremendous
expansion that we witnessed in 194l.
when the national income rose from
SIT 900 900 900 to sos 900 600, 900, Mr..
Jones said, adding:
Tops Previous Year.
THE rise in 1912 is even more
significant because it came on top
of a record breaking total of goods
and services produced the previous
year. and because it was achieved
in spite of the necessity OF convert
ing many industrial plants from
civilian goods production to war
production in the course of the
year"
Pointing out that the upward
sweep in the flow of income indi-
Gates the progress already achieved
by the American people toward
total economic mobilization for
war" Mr.. Jones said that while we
have reached new income peak
In 1912, we are mot yet at our
maximum productive power and
efficiency and for this reason a
further expansion in national in
ccme may be expected in 1913.
With the exception of wages and
salaries, Commerce Department ex-
perts are not yet ready to make
public their detailed estimates on
other components in the record
breaking 1912 national income.

BY PAT JONES.

Virtually all major hospitals ir
Washington, at least five of then
granted improvements under the
Federal Works Agency's expansion
program, will be included in a pre-
lininary report to be submitted te
the War Production Board tomorrow
by its consultants, now at work or
survey of the hospital situation ir
the District, it was learned yester-
day.
Ten more hospitals of the Metro
politan and nearby areas remain tc
be inspected by the consultants
before the final report will be pre-
pared for submission to WIPE
board of review for approval or re-
lection. All of these are scheduled
to be visited by December 80.
The preliminary report. a WIPE
spokesman said, will include rec
concentrations concerning Columbia
Gallinger. Emergency. Garfield anc
Georgetown Hospitals and Glenn
Dale Sanatorium.
Hospital Visits Scheduled.
There was no indication that the
report will call for changes in all
of the projects set up under the
FWA's l,172-bed expansion pro-
gram. but the spokesman said there
would be some radical alterations
all based on move to do away
with as much new construction as
possible during the war emergency
Projects in which changes may
be called for are those providing fol
l35 general and 100 venereal dis
ease beds at Gallinger, Isl beds al
Georgetown, 70 beds at Emergency
"A beds at Garfield and "a beds al
Columbia
According to their schedule, as
revealed by the spokesman, the con-
sultants still have the following
visits to make:
December .l-Children's and Sib.
ley Hospitals.
December 23-Casualty, Episcopal
ard George Washington.
December 27-National Homeo-
patlllc and Providence.
December 29-United States Sol
diers' Home and Washington San
atarium.
December 30-Montgomery Coun-
ty General Hospital.
DR.. Hogue Withholds Comment.
DR.. V. NJ Hogue, United States
Public Health Service surgeon in
charge of the hospital program un-
der the Lanham Act, would make
no comment on the survey yester-
day, explaining that he preferred to
wait until after the WPB recon-
mendations had been made public
1t was his agency that decided on
the necessity of the hospital projects
from health standpoint and passed
them on to the FWA for engineer
ing estimates before they were sub
mitted to WPB for priorities rulings.
The recommendations we sub
mitted were of a minimum nature -
DR.. Hogue said. IF the WPB can
work out some logical plan by which
the objective can be reached with
out new construction, we are willing
to listen to reason"

pltal facilities as patient and as
visitor to the hospital. An aver
age priced room seemed unobtain-
able in the whole District" he stat
ed. On the one hand we find
exorbitant rates and on the other
a serious inadequacy of average
priced rooms"
Rutland Memoranda.
He told the committee that at
his request, because it is his duty
to determine governmental require
ments. the District health officer.
DR.. George C. Rutland, prepared
two memorandas showing the fol-
lowing data which he asked be
placed in the record of the hearing
"1l Recent population increase
in the District of Columbia and
nearby areas affecting the District.
|. "t2D General health and santa
ton facilities of the District with
attention to the need as compared
with that of other cities of COM
/ parable population and conditions,
"(3) Information showing the ca
pacity of Gallinger Hospital and
Glenn Dale Sanitorium to increase
their respective facilities.
80 Estimated cost of increasing
these facilities"
MI. Maverick emphatically told
the committee ''at least 1000 new
/ hospital beds should be provided
in Washington at once. This was
minimum necessity year before
| the declaration of war and it is
now more necessary than ever. To
! argue about the exact necessities
for beds is wasting time, just as it
was in the old days to argue about
exact statistics of unemployment
when people were starving. We
know much more than 1000 beds
are needed, so let us provide at
least that many.
Need for Immediate Action.
The thing to do is to make a plan
and get it started right now. Pro-
vide a medical staff, get the build
ings done, and move in.
The existing hospitals in the Dis
trlct already have been asked to
provide additional beds This dou-
bling UP process should be organized
more fully. and expanded"
+ Mr.. Maverick specifically recon-
mended as follows:
Il. The immediate building Of hos
pital units providing at least 1000
additional beds.
2. That you consider the advis-
ability of the following: ta Building
units or additions providing another
thousand beds, making 1000 beds in
all; tb> the grant Of Government
subsidies and aid to provide hospi-
| tails"

ance unless there were no existing
buildings adaptable for hospital and
health use It also set forth that
such projects would hinge on
condition whereby existing nospi-
tai facilities serving the community
and the surrounding area had be-
come so overcrowded that the rate
OF occupancy of existing general
service beds during the last six
months has averaged about 80 per
cent and it is certain that require
ments for additional facilities within
the next year will greatly expand
because of the influx of porula-
ton"
The agencies also agreed that
projects designed to increase facili-
ties for the training of nurses and
other technical personnel needed in
the health program may be approved
IN defense or non-defense areas
provided that there are no existing
buildings adaptable for use as dorm
ltories or other types of facilities.
and that minimum amount of
critical materials will be used.
Provisions Added.
An appendix to the agreement
added that hospital expansion prof.
ects shall be designed on the basis
OF providing a minimum of addi-
tlonal facilities for the duration of
the war" 1t also said that build
1ngS must be constructed of masonry.
lumber or other non-metallic ma
terials."
Another part of the appendix set
forth that "a minimum of four
patients to a room shall be pro-
vlded." On November 10, this was
amended to read: I'm hospitals or
additions to hospitals providing 200
beds or less, maximum of Is per
cent single bedrooms, including
isolation. Is per cent double bed
rooms and so per cent four bed
wards. For hospitals over 200 beds.
wards for more than four beds may
be provided"
The agreement also provided that
two-story buildings may be pre-
mitted where one-story buildings
are not feasible and that the con-
strutcion of buildings shall conform
to the critical construction material
list.
Agreement Amplified.
Also agreed was the following:
construction of increasing facili-
ties shall be avoided except where
it is absolutely necessary to provide
such facilities. In metropolitan
areas, where relatively large hospi-
tai expansion projects have been
approved, it will be necessary to
| determine whether one temporary
hospital will consume less critical
materials than would additions to
existing hospitals. If such is the
case, temporary facilities shall be
provided. Serious consideration
must be given to existing hospitals
within radius of Is miles to de-
termine If other hospitals cannot
take care of some of the additional
load"
Except for the amendment in
November, no change has been made
in the agreement since 1t was
| reached. At the time of signing
1t, Gen. Fleming. said: Now that
We are in accord as to what shall
be built, We are prepared to speed
the construction of those projects
which are indispensable to the war
effort"
We have given assurance to the
War Production Board" he added.
that We will not submit any re-
quest for priority or for an alloca-
ton OF materials unless we are con-
vinced that the. project is necessary
to the winning of the war"
