A check today among local hos
pitfalls revealed tnat most Of them
are waiting until the actual need
occurs before setting up additional
beds called for under the War
Production Boards substitute pro-
gram designed TO eliminate use of
critical war materials in construc-
ton of new hospital facilities. =
A few of the hospitals already
have installed the beds agreed to
under the program. Others had pro-
vided part of the new beds, or had
I seen no demand for the expansion
and were holding up final action for
the present.
Except in few instances, officials
indicated they had the beds on hand
and could set them up in few
hours.
Virtually no contact in connection
with the proposed expansion had
been made by hospitals with Federal
agencies concerned. The WPB re-
ported that it had received no ap-
plication for priorities on beds and
Henry j. Sullivan, regional director
Of the Federal Works Agency. said
he had received only one "feeler"
and no application for financial
assistance in acquiring the beds.
Immediate Action Assured.
Unless hospitals already have IA
cilities on hand, they would be
required, if they needed financial
aid, to apply first to the FWA. After
aid had been granted they next
| would apply to the WPB for priori-
ties. Immediate action in both in
stances has been promised.
After completing a survey last
month the War Production Board s
/ Governmental Division announced
that hospital superintendent had
agreed to set up 627 beds in existing
space. A check conducted shortly
afterward by The Star revealed that
only about 325 of these would have
to be bought new.
At Freedmen's Hospital, where it
was estimated between 100 and $50
beds could be placed. it was indi-
Gated that steps leading to the
acquisition of beds would be taken
as soon as certain arrangements
were cleared with the United States
Public Health Service. This agency
it was explained operates under
direct congressional appropriation
Extra money would be needed tC
make the proposed expansion.
Gallinger Beds Ample.
At Gallinger. where another 15(
beds were to be placed, Dr.. Edgal
A Bocock. superintendent, reported
that there were ample vacant bed

Milk Producers Win
Two Concessions in
0PA Price Rulings
Formers and Doirymen
From Is Stotes Given
Adjustments of Order

MIX producers in some sections
Of the country have won important
concessions from the Office of Price
Administration in its order freezing
milk producer prices as a result of
an OPA announcement late yester-
day that it had authorized two ad-
justments in the new order.
The announcement came as dairy
men and Farm Bureau officials from
more than 25 States sat in confer
ence with OPA officials. The session
followed a White House meeting
Monday with Judge Marvin Jones
agricultural adviser to Economic
Sterilization Chief James F. Byrnes,
during which they urged suspension
of the order.
Adjustments authorized in the Or
der which became effective Saturday
and continue through April are as
follows:
Regional OPA administrators were
authorized to raise prices paid to
farmers for fluid milk in those
localities where producer price can
be increased without the necessity
of increasing either wholesale or
retail prices because the distributor
margin is adequate to absorb the
increase in producer prices
Similar adjustments are authorized
in milk marketing areas whose prices
may be sufficiently below the prices
of neighboring area so as to cause
farmers to ship milk out of their
own areas.
Saturdays order, which establishes
maximum prices at the highest level
paid by individual buyers for milk
delivered during January, does not
apply in approximately 80 areas, in
Guiding the Washington milkshed
operating under Federal milk mar
keting agreements.
The group assembled here this
week from all sections of the coun-
try told Judge Jones and OPA
officials that the order would play
havoc with farmers just at a time
when milk production begins to in
crease and the need for additional
help-and adequate price margins
to pay for this helps great.
Pressing for suspension of the
OPA order were representatives of
the National Cooperative Council,
the National Grange, the National
Milk Producers Federation, the
American Farm Bureau Federation
and numerous State milk commits
sions.
Spokesman for one group main
tanned the new order violated the
Price Stablization Act of October
2, 1912.
