speedily additional hospital facili-
ties for Washington's wartime popu-
lation.
Feeling that the plan of the Fed
eral Works Agency to construct
space for $50 new hospital beds for
this area would not adequately meet
the situation the Senator last week
called a conference of the heads of
all local hospitals and Federal
Works officials.
One tangible conclusion reached
at that time was that some OF
the hospitals could quickly convert
their nurses homes to hospital use
if the FWA erected temporary dor
mitories for the nurses.
Won't Overstep Bounds.
In calling on the Commissioners
to push the subject to conclusion
Senator McCarran said:
1T does not seem to me that it is
the province of the District Commit
tee to usurp the prerogatives of the
Commissioners, and I do not pro-
pose to oyerstep the bounds. The
record was made before the Federal
officials last Tuesday, and was made
in very factual and vivid manner,
disclosing in no uncertain terms the
startling need for additional hos
pital facilities at once.
There was not more than one
institution that did not make a
direct statement and lay out a
specific declaration showing the
congested condition OF the hos
pitals."
Time Has Arrived to Act.
The Senator expressed belief new
additions would not require ANY
considerable amount" of war ma
terials and added:
L emphatically say now the time
1Cr the Commissioners to act has
arrived. I say this without any idea
Of criticism, but purely in a spirit

lend every assistance possible.

b the Associated Press.
America observed the first war
time Labor Day in nearly quarter
OF a century yesterday but millions
OF workers-for whom the holiday
was designated-kept busy at theil
jobs to insure no interruption along
the industrial front.
The wartime observance of the
holiday, in addition to maintaining
the flow of production, paid divi-
dends in the number of lives saved
attendant to the traditional cele-
brations normally staged through
out the Nation.
The violent death toll for the
three-day holiday, an Associated
Press survey showed, was consid-
erably smaller compared to the
total for the weekend holiday last
Labor Day. Especially was there
q marked reduction in traffic IA
tahties, always the leader in holiday
death tolls.
Traffic Deaths Decline.
The number Of violent deaths in
the 1941 Labor Day holiday period
was 626, including 423 killed in
automobile accidents. This years
survey disclosed total of 286
violent deaths. including 179 traffic
fatalities. Drownings accounted for
% deaths while 81 persons died
from other violent causes.
The National Safety Council had
predicted that automobile fatalities
would number 400, more than double
the number reported. The sharp
curtailment in automobile travel and
the work-holiday in the Nation S
plants were cited as the principal
factors in bringing about the lower
number of accidents.

The FWA's plan provides for l5o
