McCarran Study
Shows Hospital
Plan Inadequate
$50 More Beds to
Foil Short Of Need,
Senator Concludes

The $50 additional hospital beds
planned by the Federal Works
Agency for Washington and vicinity
will fall far short of meeting the
need during this period of war time
congestion. in the opinion of Chair
man McCarran of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
The Senator reached this con-
clusion after receiving data COL
lected from all local hospitals by
r. F. Camalier, committee counsel.
The Senator directed this inde-
pendent survey to find out the ex-
tent of present congestion after
Federal Works officials advised him
last week they had found it neces-
sary to reduce an original estimated
need for 1.700 additional beds to $50
because of scarcity of building ma
terials.
Finds Hospitals at Capacity.
Senator McCarran said the in
showed that the majorit; of the
hospitals are filled to capacity and
that they have made every effort to
meet the situation by Transforming
sun parlors and Railways into space
for patients"
The Senator said it should also be
borne in mind that this represents
the situation during summer months
and that congestion is likely to in
crease during the winter months.
AS soon as he has completed a
more careful study of the reports
submitted to the committee by the
hospitals, Senator McCarran said
he plans to call a conference of
those interested in the problem to
see what further steps can be taken
to obtain more adequate relief.
Nursing Problem Studied.
One hospital, the Senator said,
has been seeking the opportunity to
erect on adjacent land temporary
facilities, using materials not vital
for war activities.
Senator McCarran said the re-
ports also deal with the problem of
adequate nursing service. The re-
quest of the Federal authorities for
the training Of more nurses has
overcrowded some of the nurses
homes. he added.
Senator McCarran several times
has expressed fear of what may
happen if an epidemic should de-
velop in Washington before addi-
tional hospital facilities are pro-
vided and made known again today
his determination to do all that he
can to obtain speedy action.

Physical Cheekups

RuhIond Cites Growing
Medical Service Shortage
In Urging Action Now

Parents of Washington school
children are reminded by Health
Ofiicer George c. Ruhland to have
them given physical fitness checkups
before schools open September ii
Health preparedness is an acute
necessity" the health officer said.
DR.. Rutland emphasized that
there is an increasing shortage of
medical services due to the war
demands for physicians and dentists
and he added that parents can
make a contribution to the problem
by taking preventive action before
children enroll in school.
Vaccination Required.
This, he said, will reduce the need
for disqualification and save the
time of physicians possibly needed
later If checkups are delayed.
He recalled that vaccination of
all children entering school for the
first time is required in the Dis
trict by law. Such legislation, he
said, is largely responsible for keep
ing smallpox out of the District for
10 consecutive years.
Birth Certificates Necessary.
Diphtheria immunization was
equally recommended. Parents un-
able to afford services OF a private
physician may apply to the Health
Department clinic at Is D street
NV. each Saturday at $50 am, DR..
Rutland said.
Warning was issued also that
birth certificates must be presented
by all pupils entering Washington
schools for the first time, under
terms of District law. Parents of
children born outside the District
who need birth certificates must
apply for them to the State or
community in which the child was
born.

The deaf mute, who explained in
sign language through the medium
of an interpreter. reported that she
was attacked near First and N
streets NV. around midnight. She
said she was grabbed from behind
by her assailant and was dragged
about so yards into the bushes east
of First street.
Before the colored man had time
to inf1ict bodily harm on the woman
an automobile turned into the area
way from First street, its headlights
Illuminating the scene.
Though the woman is deaf mute
police said, she managed to scream
Police Called.
An unidentified man, who saw the
attack, called police. When Pvts
r. T. Nash and w. L. Rollins, at
tached to No. precinct, arrived
the assailant had fed.
A few minutes later a lookout
flash" was sent over the police radio
describing the assailant. A hall
hour later Gallinger Hospital re-
ported the arrival of a colored mar

tions. the colored man told the fol-
lowing story:
He was walking in a Southwest
section when he was hit on the head
by a bottle. He said he walked to
Eighth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. Sc, boarded streetcar, trans
ferred at Seventeenth and Pennsyl-
vania Sc, then transferred to a bus
which took him to Gallinger.
Picked Out of Lineup.
According to theory advanced by
police, the suspected assailant cut
his head when he fled the scene OF
the assault and was forced to leap a
high fence. He was taken to the
lineup room at No. precinct, where
the deaf mute picked him out imme-
diately, according to police.
The suspect denied connection
with the assault.
Police also announced today the
apprehension of a 27-year -old col
ored man in connection with an as
sault by two colored men on a COL
ored man and his wife early Friday

and criminally assaulted her, while
the second man held off the hus-
band at the point of knife.
The man with the knife also rifled
the husbands clothes in search of
money, but found none, police said.
From description provided by
the victims of the assault, police ar
rested the suspect, who was later
