ter from their son, John c. Hindman,

Sicily
August 10, 1913
Dear Folks,
l am sorry that l didn't get to
write to you sooner, but l guess you
know what it is like over here.
Well, 1 really have seen a lot since
I left home. I really had a good time
in Africa, but it has been different
story here. We left North Africa and
made the invasion here on July IL.
Ever since then we have been going
day and night We are back from
the front now for a little rest, and
boy, we sure do need it.
1 don't think it will last much
longer here, but you never can tell.
However, this is just step towards
the big thing.
Well, see the AS are not doing
so hot. sure would love to see a
game.
Be sure and write as often as you
can.
Love, Johnnie

New York, but throughout the
country"
AS a member of the Appropria-
tons Committee, Mr.. Taber will in
vestigate closely the funds asked, If
any, for the Agricultural Marketing
Administration. He plans also to
address the House on the subject.
At the administration Offices in
the Agriculture Department it was
said that any distribution of butter
to county relief authorities in New
York would be handled by the New
York State Department of Social
Welfare.
The ANA said it checked with
the New York Office and reported
that no butter had been transferred
to the State Department of Social
Welfare since June A considerable
quantity was transferred at that
time, it was explained, as butter
was then in surplus.
"A Celepnone call to the Superin-
tendent of warehousing of the State
Department of Social Welfare at AL
bany, N. Y, brought a statement
that the departments stocks of but
ter in cold storage had been ex-
hausted in August but that some
county relief organizations still had
small quantities of butter for the
school lunch program in storage.
However, the superintendent said,
he did not believe there were so tubs
held for this purpose in the whole
upstate area.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Heavy in
vestment demand today quickly abb
sorbed a new issue of $4,000 900 Of
Canadian government bonds and
the securities went to a premium in
unofficial trading.
Managers of the syndicate ham
ding the financing said they had
received numerous kilograms from
dealers asking for various amounts
OF bonds above the number allotted
them for sale, but had been unable
to meet the requests.
In ver-the-counter dealings
there was lively bidding for the
bonds at prices representing a sub
stantial premium over the formal
offering figure.
A Nationwide syndicate of 1874
ranking and investment institutions
headed by Morgan Stanley & Co.,
made the offering. consisting of
$50 100000 of Swear 90 per cent
bonds at 100, $4,000 GOO of 1O-year

Hospitals
Continued From First Page

Of them agreed with previous esti-
mates as to the number of beds
which could be added at their hospi-
tails without new construction.
In the case of the single excep-
ton, the spokesman further re-
vealed, the superintendent will be
furnished detailed information CIV
ing specifications and exact loca-
lions as to where hospital consult
ants, employed by the WPB to sur
vey the local situation, advised that
additional beds could be placed.
No information as to individual
commitments made by the hospi-
tai heads was given by the WPB
representative. 1t was indicated
that this would not be done until a
board of review has passed on the
final tabulation and a report has
been prepared.
Possible Additions Listed.
Definite commitments were ex-
pected from IA hospitals. These,
with the number of beds for which
it is believed space is available at
each, follow:
Casualty, II; Columbia, 2: Doc
tors. so: Emergency, 40: Episcopal
6; Freedman's, $50: Gallinger, 147;
Garfield, "a; George Washington
6; Homeopathic, s. Providence, 43;
Sibley. %; Washington Sanitarium
and Hospital, 80, and Leland Me-
mortal, IS.
Seven Of these-Children's, Co.
lumbia. Emergency, Gallinger, Gar
field, Georgetown and Sibley-were
scheduled for improvements under
the original construction program
prepared by the Federal Works
Agency and held up by the War
Production Board because it would
have drawn on the supply of essen
tlal war materials.
No action has been announced by
the WPB to date on the recommen-
datlon OF Commissioner Mason's
committee, submitted following a
meeting last week, that new hospitals
be constructed at Bethesda and
Cheverly. These were considered
necessary, 1t is understood, because
of the scarcity of hospital facilities
in those areas and because of a
belief that the more completely hos
pitfalls in outlying districts are able
to meet their local demands, the less
District hospitals will be taxed.
Decision is forthcoming also on
the plan to set up a 20 to 3O-bed
obstetrical unit in the Convent
Building owned by the Alexandria
Hospital. A committee inspected
this property last week, but with
held its recommendation until
further study.
Still another matter to be settled
Is the need for additional venereal
disease beds. Original FWA plans
called for 100 of these to be set III
in an addition proposed at Gallinger
Committees including WPB con-
sultants still are at work in the
hope that there still can be provided
at that hospital without construc-
ton.
