Shortage Of 1ypists .
DeIaysHospita| Report
By Bushfie|d, , Buck

ManpoWer difficulties-in this case
the shortage of stenographers and
typists-prevented Senators Bush
field of South Dakota and Buck Of
Delaware, Republicans. from COM
pleting yesterday reports on their
findings and recommendations in
the recent Gallinger Hospital inves-
tigation.
The two Senators, both members
of the special Senate subcommittee
which conducted the inquiry, had
planned to submit joint report
yesterday to Chairman McCarran of
the Senate District Committee, but
discovered at the last minute the
lack of help made it impossible.
They hope to have the report ready
tomorrow.
Senator Holman, Republican, Of
Oregon, who served as chairman Of
the subcommittee, apparently did
not run into such difficulties He
turned his report over to Senator
McCarran late Thursday. His chief
finding was that responsibility for
the shortage of facilities at CAL
linger rests upon about everyone
in executive, legislative and admin
lstratlve authority of government"
who is in any way connected with
it, plus wartime priorities on sup
plies.
Senator Bushfeld would not in
innate what he and Senator Buck
would recommend in their joint re-
port. He disclosed at the close Of
the Gallinger investigation, how
ever, he would make some recon-
mendatlons with respect to hospital
personnel and some suggestions
about overall changes in the munich
pal government of the District.

Ceilings Will Ruin Them
Small Pou|trymen Say
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SALISBURY. Md, Oct. 9.-Pre-
dlctlon that many small poultry
producers would be forced out of
business by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration's present ceilings came
today from a representative of the
Del-Mar-Va Broiler Industry, Inc.
Secretary L. B. Mcdowell of the
industry foresaw resultant further
reductions in the amount of poultry
available to the market.
The big grower can weather the
storm. although many of them are
reducing their production by half,
but the little fellow is closing up
and going into war plants" Mr..
MacDowell asserted.
Producers in this area must sell
their poultry for 28.5 cents per
pound for all sizes dive weight
whereas the former price ranged
from % to 80 cents, depending on
the size Of the birds, the secretary
said.
The ceiling on smaller birds "was
not SO bad" but the cost of feeding
and producing larger poultry from
3 pounds on up made the business
q losing proposition, Mr.. Mcdowell
asserted.

Inclusion Of District
In Virginia Urged
By J. f. Jones Here

Inclusion of the District In the
State Of Virginia, to give the vote
less Capital voice in national
affairs, is proposed in a letter sent
to Virginia members of Congress by
J. E. Jones, director OF the United
States Press Association, Transpor-
tation Building.
"Inasmuch as Virginia has more
reasons than ever before to refuse
retrocession to the District" Mr..
Jones says in his letter, "the District
of Columbia should go to the noun
tain and ask Virginia to accept US
as additional territory to be placed
under protection of its State govern
ment and thereby raise its own rep
resentation in Congress from 8
members to l3 or more members
all OF whom would naturally be
active in promoting the interests of
Virginia and Washington.
Present Situation Decried.
"In short, we, the disenfranchised
residents, want Washington recog-
nized as a regular city and a part
Of regular State-no more crumbs
of comfort or halfway measures,
please! Congress should wipe out
this most fantastic illogical and un-
democratic blot on American gov
ernment.
The city OF Washington could
| and should administer its own local
affairs through a Mayor, a common
| council and its own officials and
| officers. 1t should possess full rep
resentation in the Legislature of
Virginia.
That State has a modern con-
stitution. and no State government
surpaSses its efficiency and COM
potency in serving its citizens.
Washington, freed from its shackles,
would, with the aid and guidance
OF Virginia, become a helpful and
powerful influence in the Federal
Government.
Government Blamed.
THE shame of the Federal Gov
| ernment for its continued disen-
franchisement and restrictions of
the rights of Washington citizens
would be forgiven and catalogued in
the record of mistakes of the past"
Mr.. Jones, a resident of Wash
ington since 1910. entities his state
ment. "A Plan for the Emancipation
of the Residents of Washington,
D. c." He adds:
Transportation facilities are
clogged every morning to bring Vir-
ginians into the District to work
for the Government. The National
Airport is on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, but by a peculiar brand
of logic the District claims it. The
Pentagon Building and all sorts of
Government buildings and enter
prises are located in Virginia. Even
the United States Patent Office

Presidents: it was the capital of the
