McCarran Study
Shows Hospital
Plan Inadequate
$50 More Beds to
Fall 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 wartime
congestion, in the opinion OF Chair
man McCarran of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
The Senator reached this con-
ch1sion 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
formation reaching the committee
showed that the majority of the
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
more careful study Of the reports
submitted to the committee by the
hospitals, Senator McCarran said
he plans to call q 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.

Stipulation 10 Drop
Service Protest Stalls
Free Transfer Hearinq
Citizens Stand Delays
Agreement by W. N. & A.
And CopitoI Transit Co.

A four-hour hearing yesterday be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
on a proposed free transfer between
the Capital Transit Co. and the
Washington, Marlboro & Annapolis
Motor Lines affecting war workers
going to Suitland (Md.) Federal Of
fees was adjourned to await further
action by citizens groups and the
companies.
Involved in the proceeding was not
only the proposed elimination of
the present 2-cent transfer charge,
agreed to by the companies, but also
a stipulation that provoked citizens
protests.
This stipulation was that "all con-
troversteS as to any matters or
things alleged in the complaints in
formal cases No. 291 and 800 are
hereby settled and SO long as this
stipulation shall remain in force no
final order shall be entered herein" {"
The hearing developed that case

Associations that there is discrimi-
nation against Southeast Washing

reason, spokesmen for the two Cit
izens' groups yesterday refused to
accept the stipulation. The ques-
ton was referred to the associations
and the companies for reconsidera
ton.
Gregory Hankin, who will be re-
placed Tuesday as PUG chairman by
James H. Flanagan, raised a ques-
ton about weekly passes of the Cap

CoImar Manor Group
To Mobilize Citizens
Behind War Effort
CiviIiun War Council
First to Be Formed
In Prince Georges

Members of the newly organized
Colmar Manor (Md0 Civilian War
Council today pushed plans to
mobilize the entire community be-
hind the war effort, following an
nouncement of the councils forma-
ton yesterday by Mayor John N.
Torvestad.
Colmar Manor is the first munich
pality In Prince Georges County to
form q local war council under the
plan to mobilize the civilian front"
prepared recently by the Maryland
League OF Municipalities, headed
by Mayor Torvestad.
The plan has been submitted to
the more than 40 incorporated
communities In the State as well
as to over 5000 municipalities
throughout the country.
Criticism of the program has been
voiced by Representative, Sasscer,
Democrat, OF Maryland, who ex-
pressed the fear that it would result
In duplicating the activities of other
civilian defense agencies.
Composed Of IA Members.
The War Council is composed of
IA members, including the Mayor
and Town Council and nine repre-
sentatives of various activities "in
the life of the community"
Bernard H. Morningstar, former
chief AFRAID warden of the town.
will act as director OF community
mobilization. He will have charge
Of all war services, such as scrap
collection, labor supply and training
health and welfare activities, recre-
alton, transportation, housing and
War bond and stamp sales. S.
All protective services Of the COM
munity will be under the direction
Of Henry Caspare, jr., Colmar Manor
chief Of police, who was appointed
commander Of the Citizens Defense
Corps.
G.siH. Lofgren ana Eugene J.
Christian were named directors OF
publicity and Of the speakers
bureau, respectively.
Others on the council, besides
Mayor Torvested, include Council
men Lewis Carter, Karl A. Voight
r. v. Yost and Joseph Terenyi; Mrs.
Viola B. Anderson, representing the
women Of the town; Charles S. Pin
Gus, business; M. e. Rian, education;
Alfred Merkel, youth, and Harry E.
KOrab, labor.
Not to Duplicate Setup.
Mayor Torvestad, chairman Of the
council, emphasized that Mr.. Cas-
pare's activities will in no way
duplicate the existing defense setup
in the county.
''It is obvious" the Mayor con-
tinued, "that the very nature of the
protective phase of the defense pro-
gram lends itself to centralization
for efficient operation, but it does
not follow that the community mo-
bilization or war services program
can function efficiently and effec-
lively organized on the same basis. "
All activities coming under the
general heading of war services
should be organized on a community
basis, he asserted, in order that
"every man, woman and child in
the community may take an active
part"
II the County Civilian Defense
Council should establish an agency
to coordinate the war service ac-
tivities throughout the county,
Mayor Torvestad said, Colmar Manor
will become part of such an Or
ganization cor at least integrate
local activities with those of the
county as whole"

ready to take her to dinner at a
gay spot If she wished, or to
drive-in for chicken in the rough, If
she was exhausted.
It was pleasant to receive his
flowers, flowers that meant some
thing, instead Of duty bouquets. At
first he sent them occasionally;
then, as spring approached, he sent
them daily. 1t was pleasant to be
driven down to Santa Monica beach
and listen to waves pounding and
pounding with that kettle-drum
roar, not even talking If she did
not feel like it.

with a sort OF horror that turned
into defiance. And why not?
The press took to the affair with
glee, after having considered An

but poor copy. Even the Zenith pub

beauty and Lyndon's money, rel

to eat, drink, smoke, talk, yawn or
grin" James said one night when
they were dining at Mocambo. Just
as he spoke, a shutter clicked. "You

again.
Both burst into wide-mouthed
laughter. Again shutters clicked.
So the pictures from that night
showed an exceptionally happy cou-
pie.
Lyndon asked her, when the cam

ever think about marrying me ?"
Before she could answer, he said. ~

to her fingers. This reminds me Of

I'd like to make you feel safer.
I'd like you never to worry or be

Her heart turned warm as she
looked at him. realizing how hand
some he was, how conscientious,
how thoughtful All the laudatory
adjectives fitted him. A girl could
love James Lyndon. Perhaps not
with that insane, almost heart
breaking sort Of love, but such love
WAS not necessary.
