Hospitals Await
Priorities 10
Install Beds
Personnel Needed
Along With Minor
Equipment
BY PAT JONES.

The SGT beds which District hos
pital superintendent have informed
the War Production Board can be
placed in existing space will be
installed Immediately after the go
ahead signal involving priorities on
needed equipment is received from
the war agency, it was learned by
The Star today in poll of hospital
heads.
Some Of the ofilcials already have
added part Of the extra beds they
have agreed to put in, while others
have started plans for the expansion.
In some instances the additions will
hinge on employment of SUFFICIENT
personnel to care for them> but in no
case will they depend on alterations
OF more extensive a nature than
wiring and plumbing.
The program Of the WPB, whose
goal has been to furnish the Metro
politan Area with needed hospital
beds by granting only a minimum
Of construction, now rests with a
board Of review. A report on COM
n1itments made by the superin.

final action within q week, depend
ing possibly on the return Of Maury

government division, called away
from the city by the hospital pro-
gram elsewhere.
Temporary Expedient.
Virtually all hospital heads ex-
planned that the extra beds they
had agreed to install would be of q
temporary nature, designed only to
meet the wartime emergency. Some
of them consented to put In even
larger number If the situation
demanded.
While admitting that patients will
be subjected to some inconvenience
under the emergency program, they
appeared unanimous in the belief
that the new and more crowded
conditions within the institutions
would have no seriously deleterious
effect on hospitalized persons.
A majority Of the superintendent
expressed the opinion that irlstalla-
ton OF the temporary beds would
solve every aspect Of Washington's
hospital problem except the short
age Of facilities for maternity cases.
A minority conclusion was that
even the obstetrical picture had
been relieved, but this did not in

"The result Of this situation has
been inadequate and unsatisfac-
tory care of patients, episodes Of
well warranted criticism, and a
reputation for unsatisfactory serv-
ice which should no longer be borne
by the city hospital.
Provides S1,401 POT.
New buildings have been pro-
vided and in great measure have
overcome formerly present over
crowding. An excellent medical
staff has been provided, and If a
limited number OF additional per-
sonnet can be made available, the
hospital should be able to perform
steadily an improving grade OF pro-
fessional work"
The 1914 budget will allow GAL
linger Hospital $1,401 DOT. The ap-
preparation granted for its opera
ton and maintenance in the cur
rent fiscal year was 1881 $40.
The increase is absorbed chiefly
by higher salaries granted en-
ployes, in addition to the funds
allowed for the employment OF an
assistant superintendent, an ASSOC
ciate medical officer and other en-
ployeS.

Alexandra 10 Press
.PB 10 Reconsider
Hospital Refusal
Committee Named to Act,
Whitton Loys Rejection
To D. c. Commissioners

The Alexandria City Council last
night voted to appoint committee
composed of three of its members
and the city manager to join the
board of the Alexandria Hospital in
an appeal to the War Production
Board to consider its refusal to au-
thorize 100-bed addition to the
hospital.
Robert G. Whitton, hospital adj
ministrator, charged that Alexan-
dria had been sold down the river"
by the District COu,rlassihners, who
were present at all conferences con-
corning the, hospital. He said he
felt the Commissioners were largely
responsible for the project being
turned down.
Mr.. Whitton said the WPB had
acted adversely at the last minute
after the project had been APP
proved by the Federal Works Agen-
cy and the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and had
completely ignored figures showing
that Alexandria has 1.6 beds per
thousand inhabitants and reduced
to 0.8 by the fact that the hos
pital also serves Fairfax and Prince
William Counties.
Statement absurd"
He called the statement that two
out of every three and half Alex
andria cases go to Washington hos,
pitfalls absurd" and pointed out
that if Alexandria should be given
the facilities to establish school
Of nursing it would be the only
one between Washington and Rich
mond.
Pointing out that the Army and
Navy had Endorsed the project as
badly needed to care for service
mems families in the area, Mr..
Whitton said that when the apart
ment projects at Parkfairfax, Fair
lington and Hunting Terrace are
completed, hospital facilities would
be even more inadequate than at
present.
Representative Howard w. Smith
told the meeting that he rad ap-
preached Maury Maverick, head of
the WPB Governmental Require
ments Bureau, with regard to the
grant for Alexandria, and had been
told that the Public Health Service
had advised against approval of the
Alexandria project. However, Mr.
Whitton read a telegram from DR.. "
M. Hoag of the Public Health Serv-
ice stating that no recommendation
had been made against the hospital
addition.
DR.. j. w. Love, chief of the hos
pital staff, gave examples of the
overcrowded conditions of the insti-
tuition and warned that an epidemic
may result If WPB fails to relieve
the situation.
He expressed the belief that only
out of every 20 patients in Alex
andria go to Washington hospitals
and estimated that Alexandria gets
five patients a day from Arlington
and three from Washington.

Important Bills
Meeting Delay

Leader Says Program
Will Be Routine
Until Mid-Februury
~ the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 21.-De-
spite procession assertions that the
1913 General Assembly would settle
down to business in an effort to
avoid the rush which has typified
closing days of previous sessions,
there are indications today that
little controversial legislation would
be considered for several weeks.
One leading Democratic legislator
said the present brief, routine ses-
sions of both houses were likely to
continue until mid-February.
This source said committee work
on hundreds of minor bills-many
OF them repealers and amendments
sponsored by the Legislative Council
would occupy most of the law
makers attention and time until
after the middle of next month.
Only then, he continued, with this
mass of committee works out of the
way, could either chamber get down
to the business of discussing con-
troversial measures.

had met three times this week before
being called into session today, Elk
Guiding the time devoted to listening
to Gov. O'Conor's budget message on
Monday night, the Senate had been
in session less than full hour dur
ing the week, and the House about
an hour and half.
Both houses rushed through, by
suspension of rules, the bill en-
abling them to draw portion of
their salaries in advance, but, with
that exception, the House up until
today had given final approval to
only nine bills and the Senate to one.
Yesterday, when the Senate was
In session IA minutes, it received
five new bills-three of them local
in character-and heard favorable
committee reports on three others.
The House heard nine new bills
introduced and acted finally on
eight, most of which were repealers
of obsolete or unnecessary acts.
One of those passed, however,
was the bill which would prohibit
the sale of intoxicants in Hartford
County on Sundays.
The sale of intoxicants in Hartford
on Sundays now is allowed between
noon and pm.
