In Prince Georges for
Venerea| Hospital
County Health Officer
Asks Commissioners to
Request Lonhum Funds

In an effort to check the spread of
venereal disease in Prince Georges
County, DR.. John NJ Byers, county
health officer, has requested the
county commissioners to apply for
Lanham Act funds to establish a
hospital for the treatment of venereal
disease patients, it was learned to-
day.
DR.. Byers said if the commissioners
approve his request and the funds
are granted, he proposes to set up a
treatment center in an abandoned
two-room schooiilouse at Aquasco,
which is now owned by the county.
He estimated approximately $4,000
would be needed to establish Is beds
and to purchase equipment. Those
admitted to the hospital would re-
main until cured.
At present, DR.. Byers explained,
patients are treated at the various
county clinics, where facilities are
inadequate. An average of 10 pa
tients are being treated monthly.
Persons suffering from venereal
disease should be kept under con-
slant observation. he said. and this
cannot be done at the clinics"
In Washington. he pointed. such
patients are treated at Gallinger
Hospital, where they are kept until
cured.
Last year more than 1000 We
nereal disease treatments were given
in the county. Three venereal dis
ease clinics are held in the county
each week They are held at pm.
Monday at the Upper Marlboro
Courthouse. 8 pm Tuesday in the
County Service Building. Hyatts-
vile, and 8 pm Wednesday in the
Police Court Building at Laurel. All
examinations and treatments are

Virginia ABC Studies
Subscription Plan
All Coupons and Check
Would Be Sent Board
By the Associated Press.

<~NSeNA~'HSa
RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-THE
State Liquor Control Board has
under consideration the proposal of
a rationed-harried citizen who
wishes to subscribe for his pota-
bles with future editions of his
coupons.
Since it came into being in the
peaceful 30s. the ABC Board has
hlled mail orders for liquor for the
oenef1t of those who live in areas
remote from State store. Under
the recently inaugurated rationine
setup, the practice has been con-
tlnued with the purchaser required
to send a certified check and his
ration book. The buyer can get
no more liquor than the amount
called for by current coupons.
Now some one has offered the idea
OF counting the remaining coupons
IN the book, multiplying them by
the price per unit of the stuff he
wants, sending in the book with a
check for the total and asking the
board to send by express the BIZ
weekly quantity as the tabs become
due.
If the board can comply-and the
plan seems to be within the law
and the rationing regulationathe
liquor should come along like a
semi-monthly magazine. Such a
procedure would obviate standing
in line at a store, forestall the pos
sibility of running afoul of the
OPA's no-pleasure-driving regula-
ton and assure the buyer an odds
on chance of getting what he asked
for.
However, if the procedure is al
lowed, the board knows it will breed
a new headache heretofore un-
associated with liquor-what with
extra accounting work, shipping and
looking for extra personnel where
no extra personnel exists.

Mail Routes
Held. .Peri|ed
CuIIum Says Gas
Rution Board
Responsible

Delivery Of mail to approximately
10000 persons living along suburban
and rural routes in Silver Spring is
threatened with a complete break
down due to the inability of carriers
to obtain sufficient gasoline allot-
ments from the Silver Spring Ration
Board, Acting Postmaster Dyke Cul-
lum said today.
Declaring the problem is not one
OF getting gasoline at filling stations,
Mr.. Cullum said the difficulty lies in
the refusal of the Silver Spring Ra-
tion Board to issue sufficient gas
coupons to carry on the service.
He said the eight suburban and
rural carriers must come to the
board about every three weeks to
obtain renewals of their gasoline
books. even though it is impossible
for them to take time off from their
work for this purpose.
Chairman Denies Charge.
IF the local board would conform
with national OPA regulations and
issue carriers enough gas to last
them for 80 days and then renew
them automatically by mail" Mr..
Cullum asserted, there wouldn't be
any confusion"
Charles M. 1relan, chairman of
the board, described Mr.. Cullum S
charges as ''unfounded in fact and
facetious in its nature.
The records of the board reflect
that no application for gasoline
made by the employees of the post
office for use in their occupational
work has ever been denied Mr.. Ire
land emphasized.
Granted Two Requests.
specifically, on last Saturday
June 5, two such applications dated
June 3, were delivered to a repre-
sentative of the board at the post
office. One Of them was approved
on that day and the other on Mon
day, June 7, and the coupon books
promptly made available"
In addition, L. G. Faulconer, chief
clerk of the board, said it has al
ways been the policy of the board to
renew gas books by mail Such re-
newals, he said, are made within
46 hours.
Mr.. Cullum said. however, that
carriers must appear in person for
their books. Since the board is
closed Saturday and Sunday, he
added, and at 2 pm. on week days.
the carrier finds it impossible to OBJ
tain the renewal.
Cites Messengers Case.
He cited one case in which a spe-
c1al delivery messenger uses about
10 gallons day. He was issued only
one book containing 96 coupons and
good for 120 days. This was used
up in about 20 days, Mr.. Cullum
pointed out, so the messenger was
compelled to come back to the board
and ask for more gas. When he
came back. the Office was closed.
Last week, Mr.. Cullum said, parcel
post trucks were used to deliver
special delivery letters. While this
is a waste of gasoline, tires and
heavy equipment. he continued. .it
was either use the trucks or stop the
mails"
Before May %, he said. the condi-
tion wasn't 80 bad. Carriers received
sufficient gasoline for longer period
OF time.
But since that time he empha-
sized the condition has become
critical"
