Hospitals Liability

Before Full Bench
Question Of Exemption
From Suits Considered
In Appeals Court

An unusual procedude was wit
messed today in the United States
Court of Appeals, when the full
bench of six judges heard argu-
ments on the question of whether
Washington hospitals are exempt
from damage suits. CO. .-e-.--.
Customarily only three jurists hear
a case. but so important was this
problem considered that the court,
on its own motion, decided on
rehearing of the argument by the
full bench.
Previously considering the case.
which was argued before nearly a
year ago, were Associate Justices
Justin Miller, Fred M. Vinson and
Wiley Rutledge.
Arguing for the upholding of q
$4,000 damage verdict given spe-
cial nurse, Miss Susan M. Hughes,
was her attorney, Emmett Leo
Sheehan, who contended that hos
pital may successfully be sued.
Representing Georgetown Hospi-
tai, against whom the verdict was
obtained when Miss Hughes showed
that she had been injured when
struck by a door suddenly opened
by a student nurse, was Attorney
Henry I. Quinn, who contended that
the hospital is a charitable insti-
tuition" and is so exempt from suit in
such a case.

Christian Life NOT Easy,
Takoma Pastor Saws

Christian discipleship was never
represented by Christ as an easy
way of life and no promise was
made that it would be a life or
accident insurance policy, the Rev.
j. Adrian Pfeiffer said yesterday at
the Takoma Lutheran Church.
Modern people were likened to
those during the time of Christ who
traded their Christian principles for
material profit. 80 many people,
for the lure of gold, forget their
principles and cast away their
dlscipleship," he declared in saying
that the Lord is seeking today
disciples who will live His way of life.
Many young Christian man on
coming to city such as ours has
been willing to barter away his
Christian principles for a fling at
life" the minister declared. Many
a Christian young woman, away
from home for the first time, will
fling away her Christian integrity
for the sake of what seems to be an
easy way of life" ...
He said actually what Christ
offered was AN inner power that
would enable him who possessed it
to rise up against his difficulties, to
take them in his stride"

High Price Is Being Paid
For Freedom, Pastor SAYS

Most free things have a hidden
price tag on them, the Rev. Frank
Steelman declared last night at the
Petworth Methodist Church. At
earlier services, Christian Family
Week was started with family COM
munion as feature.
THE freest things on earth, such
as the air we breathe, the water We
drink and the sunlight in which we
walk. are the result of age-long Gre
ative movements directed by super
human intelligence, the pastor said.
Cultural opportunities like free
libraries, free concerts and free mu-
seums are conditioned upon the
esthetic appreciation, personal dis
cipline and generous spirit of those
who bestowed them.
What a price tag we are now
engaged in paying in order that
freedom of life and government
shall not perish from the earth!
Free salvation is the costliest COM
modify in the world"
