new HOSPITAL
WING PROPOSED
Addition to Serve City as
Isolation Ward; Health
Board FavOrs Plan

Favoring the construction Of a
wing addition to either st. Mary's
or Waterbury Hospitals to be used
as an isolation hospital, the city
health board last night voted that
such a motion be adopted at their
meeting next Monday night.
Previous suggested plans called
for the renting Of division of the
Connecticut Children's hospital on
Watertown avenue, originally built
as an isolation hospital by the city
and now leased to the children's
hospital association. 1t was esti-
mated that under this plan the city
would have to layout about $50, 00C
to $4,000 annually in return fol-
which the hospital would provide all
the medical supplies and equipment
necessary and the city would receive
the fees from the patients.
The Health boards objection last
night was based on the belief that
by the latter method the city would
be going into the hospital business"
Under this present plan the city
would be saddled only with the mi
tial cost of constructing the wing
while the hospital would subse-
quently pay all costs for mainte-
nance and would receive the fees
from the patients.
Meantime a committee consist
of DR.. Andrew j. jackson and health
officer DR.. E. j. Godfrey will com
pile data as to the size of the wing
that will be needed, the number Of
beds and similar pertinent facts
The board of health at their meet
ing next Monday will frame forma,
recommendation for presentation tc
the board of finance so that the
money may be appropriated for the
1914 meeting.
Local authorities have been in
formed by state health officials that
every effort will be made to assist
them in obtaining the proper pri-
critics to build the wing.
There is still question whether
approval will be given to this plan
by the finance board. 1t is under
stood that various members of the
board are not il strong agreement
with such plan pointing out that
the feasibility o. using the isola-
ton hospital on WATERFOWL avenue
should be checked into more thor
oughly.
That there is g definite need for
this type hospital is admitted by all
local officials and some definite
step will be taken in the very near
future.

Ober said. "None Of these towns
stopped their campaigns when 100

and hit higher marks.

"NOTRE DAME HAS A
CASE"

The dispute between DR.. Fran
els E. Mcmahon and the Presi-
dent of Notre Dame University
seems to have been prejudiced by
those who are trying to make a
cause celebre of it. These far
from disinterested commentators
take it for granted that DR.. Nc
Mahon is right and the Univer-
sity authorities wrong. We are
not so sure. We feel that the
professor is entitled to his views
and to public expression of them,,
and the Notre Dame authorities
concur. While we have sometimes
disagreed with his ideas, ques-
toned his prudence in both the
manner of stating what he had to
says and the occasions which he
used for speaking, and often
wondered whether there wasn't an
element of grandstanding in some
of his performances, we believed
that he had his merits as a gadfly
stirring us to thought and prevent
ing us from lapsing into rigidly
formulistic appraisal of current
issues.
But the University has case,
and it seems to us strong one.
1t has not only a right, but also
a duty, to insist that the con-
troversial opinions of a faculty
member be so presented as to OBJ
viate the possibility of anyone's
supposing that these are the Of
fetal views of the University adj
miniStration. Urgent demands
have been voiced from all quar-
tiers that officials of the eXecu-
tive branch of the United States
Government make it Enthusiastically
clear whether their public utter
ances are their own opinions or
statements of administration pol
icy. Certainly, the tag "of Notre
Dame University" was played up
in connection with DR.. McMahon's
declarations; and no one can
properly criticize the University
for requesting that he should not
presume to speak for the institu-
ton Or even give the impression
of doing so.
We heartily wish that the dis
agreement had had another issue
than that which has now come
to pass. But the apodictic char
acter of much of DR.. McMahon'S
oratory indicates to us that the
blame is by no means entirely Or
chiefly on the University.
Editorial comment on the case
has been generally of low Or
der. BY all odds the most stupid
of the observations seen by us
came from The Waterbury Re-
publican. We wondered just what
the editorial was all about until

The TAO dwelling units for colored
war workers to be built here soon by

of1cer Of the authority, said today.
The disclosure came as Chairman
Burton of Senate subcommittee
continued investigation of District
housing conditions by visiting the
NCHAs defense and war housing
development.
Mr.. Ihlder said he hoped the
granting of permission for perma-
nent buildings indicates that criti-
cal building materials are now
available in sufficient quantities to
permit all future public housing
construction to be permanent in
type.
For about two years, because Of
the shortage of critical materials,

tually banned permanent public
housing

ing units erected here by the NCHA

white persons at Alabama avenue
and Hartford street Sc, and the
Garry Houses, 3l5 dwellings for
white families near Suitland, Nd.
The Highland and Knox Hill
Dwellings were shown to Senator
Burton as examples of permanent
defense housing projects The Car
~ Houses are demountables, while

porary dwelling units" built accord
ing to plans used throughout the
Nation.
Demolisha bIes to Be Total Loss.
Mr.. Ihlder told Senator Burton
both the demolishable and de-
mounta bic houses built for war
workers will be cleared away within
one year after the end OF the war
emergency period. but that the
Housing Authority expects to sell
demountable houses for consider
ably more than enough to pay for
their removal" The demolishables,
on the other hand. will be almost
total loss, and even their ma
/ terials will have little salvage value,
Mr.. Ihlder said.
! Saturday at 10 am. has been
tentatively fixed as the time for the
next inspection tour by the sub
committee.

Plea 10 Sell Y Pct.
Product as Cream
FDA Still Studying
PIon to Include
More Solids

The District Commissioners have
denied Washington dairymen per-
mission to sell as cream a proposed
L. per cent butterfat dairy product,
it was learned today
At the same time officials of the
Food Distribution Administration
said no definite decision on the
dairymen's application to allow more
solids in the proposed new product
had been reached. They indicated
there is some prospect that the plan
may be approved at least partially in
the December order soon to be is
sued.
I'VE haven't said yes and we
haven't said no." William C. We'll
don, assistant chief of the dairy
and poultry branch of the Food
Distribution Administrat ton, said
Our position has been that we are
equally concerned with both the
amounts of butterfats and solids
sold. and while the proposed new
product would take less fat it takes
more of other materials
Outlines Situation.
What the dairymen propose to
do is make about ll2 bottles of Il
per cent out of IS bottles of l8 pei
cent and you would have more bot
ties of cream than you had milk
That wouldn't be very good wher
you want TO increase the supply o.
milk rather than cream.
We have had a number of meet
ings lately with market agents ant
there is possibility we may cas-
up on this thing in December, bu
we still are not definite what shap,

trary to the statutes. However, sal,
of the product as milk, or as en-
