this time. In general, some of the
more serious charges are that DR.
Bocock has converted to his per-
sonal use property belonging to Gal
linger Hospital that he has pur-
chased food stuff for his personal
use from a fund authorized for
emergency purchases of medicines
and supplies required at the hos
pital; that he has provided, on diff
ferent occasions, free disqualification
at Gallinger for his personal en-
ployes; that he has provided on
numerous occasions free board for
certain favored employees of the
hospital: that for six years he en-
ployed as his personal servant a
Filipino whose wages were paid
from appropriations made for Gal
linger Hospital; and that he has
countenanced. and possibly aided
and abetted, the activities OF loan
sharks" who had mulcted employees
for interest at the rate of Is per
cent semimonthly on small loans.
Makes No Assertions.
Naturally, I can make no asser-
tions as to the truth of these
charges; but any one of these
charges, in my opinion, would, if
proven. be ample cause for dismiss.
sal OF any employe from the public
service.
I'm addition to the charges leveled
against Dr.. Bocock and certain
other employees of Gallinger Hos
pital, the report furnished to the
District Commissioners by the
controller generals Office last
July. called attention to several in
stances of sloppy administrative
practice which undoubtedly require
correction. The report also called
attention to an alleged failure to
maintain adequate records or in
ventories Of alcoholic liquors and
narcotics, and appears to indicate
that no adequate control over such
supplies has been maintained.
In this regard, the committee
will be greatly interested to learn
what corrective measures the D. C.
Commissioners have applied or pro-
posed to apply.
Full details of the matters re-
ferred to have been furnished to
the committee by the Office of the
controller general, at my request.
and these will be turned over at
once to Senator Holman, chairman
of the subcommittee, appointed un-
der terms OF Senate resolution l78.
Broad Investigation.
1T should be noted that while
Senate resolution l78 was intro
duced primarily as a result of COM
plants by patients in the tubercular
ward concerning conditions having
to do with the welfare of such
patients. the resolution was pur-
posely made broad enough for a
thorough investigation of all mat
ters pertaining to the administra-
tion OF Gallinger Hospital, on the
theory that the conditions specific
ally complained of by patients were
not likely to exist except concur
rently with numerous Irregularities
in the administration of the institu-
ton.
Facts uncovered so far seem to
commend the correctness Off this
view. Personally, I shall not be
satisfied until every factor connected
with the administration and opera
ton Of Gallinger Hospital has been
thoroughly investigated, the facts
brought to light, and until adequate
corrective measures, whether leeis-
lative or administrative, or both,
have been taken.
Il am confident that Senator Hol-
mans subcommittee Is proceeding
and Will proceed with this end In

able distribution will rest with mer.

more, with operations centering in
such cities as Philadelphia. New

Survey Shows
Realty Prices
Up in 287 Cities
Increase Here
Believed Above
II Pet. Average

War conditions have forced real
estate prices up an average of Il
per cent in 287 cities surveyed by
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards, 1t was revealed today.
In the Washington Metropolitan
Area 1t is believed that the rise
was somewhat above the average.
However, actual figures are not i'm
mediately available and it is ex-
pected the association later will
make public actual data based on
its survey. Local realtors hereto
fore have been reluctant to make
statements concerning market val
ues here under wartime condition
public, but are understood to have
turned in confidential reports Of
their personal evaluations of the
real estate field.
Rapid Turnover.
The national survey SHOWS that
real estate turnover "is more rapid
than 1t was a year ago in II per
cent of the cities of the country"
Selling prices rose in 81 per cent OF
VIC p1dSCS SUI VCyCu. ~
The report declared there has
been a price drop in only per cent
of the cities, but prices have ad-
vanced in 81 per cent Of them" !"
The upswing, though spotty, is wide
spread despite the fact that rent
control has fixed the income of resi-
dental properties for the duration. :"
On the other hand, demand for
business properties has declined,
probably because of the curtailment
in production of civilian goods, the
association survey indicated.
In citing phases of the prewar
slump in real estate values, the
association, through its survey, de-
clared current conditions repre-
sent more of recovery than alb
normal activity"
Old Houses Being Sold.
Price rises primarily have been
confined to small houses in many
of the cities reporting Houses 50
years old and older are in the group
now being sold in more than third
of the cities. Also on the active
market are homes $50 to 200 years
old. The latter market for some
years has been on the upswing in
the Georgetown area of Washing
ton, where many Colonial homes
have been sold to officials in the
Government and members of the
diplomatic corps.
Apartment properties here also
have been receiving considerable at
tention from investors along with
developers who are putting up new
multiunit dwellings.
Farm lands, the survey also noted,
have shown considerable activity on
the market. During the last year
in nearby Virginia and Maryland
many farms have been purchased
not only by Washingtonians, hut by
residents Of many large cities for
investments on a share basis. Many
others, it is to be noted, have beeu
bought for resident farming and
the raising of livestock.

 In this game there wasn't a single Tank used.

 The runs came off Mort Cooper. St. Louis Card champ hurler and the game marked his fourth defeat by the American League sluggers.
 Emil Dutch Leonard of Wash ington started for the Americans and was credited with the victory. He gave up two singles and fly in the first inning.

GUADALCANAL, July 14-Base- ball is still Americas No. 1 sport, even down here in the Solomons.
 Every evening just before dusk, the sound of ball and bat is heard throughout the jungle and over the fields of Johnson grass as Marines of an anti-aircraft unit work out while off duty.
 In the shadow of their anti aircraft guns, the Leathernecks daily played "one-a-cat", scrub" an d other sandlot games just like the boys at home
 Even though the seasons are reversed down here and it is well into winter, the Marines disregard 1t and like to think that it is summer just as it is back in the States.

Discovered in 1925

The book will tell you that old Hub was born June p, 1903, in Carthage, Mo, but it is Maple Grove, hamlet IA miles northeast |of Carthage, that the National Leagues most famous southpaw claims as his birthplace.
 It was while Carl was moving the ISoupbone for Oklahoma City in 1925 that he was discovered by a major league scout and signed by Detroit of the American League.
 Before he had chance to show his stuff for the Tigers, they farrned him out to Toronto where he won seven and lost seven in 1926. The next year found him at Decatur, H., in the Three Eye League with IA wins out of 21 tries.
 Released to Beaumont in the Texas League in 1928, he was sold to the Giants for reported price Iof $40,000 after he chalked up 12 victories against nine defeats. He has never left the Giants since.
 Most Valuable Player Twice
 In 1883, Hubbell won the National Leagues most valuable player award, but he had his best year in 1886 when he won 26 games while losing six and again was honored with the scribes' trophy
 Ask any batter and he'll tell you that of all the twirlers in the senior circuit, Hub has the profoundest Knowledge of what they like and dislike: He has never made a note on it but carries it all in his head.
 When they hit him, they really deserve those hits" says Mancuso, his favorite catcher. He doesn't make a mistake on pitch but once, and being around Is years. he made all his mistakes a long time ago"
 ASK Carl how he feels before he goes to the mound tomorrow and he'll tell you just as he has for 20 years Never better
 That Hubbell is the damndest man in baseball" grins Mancuso. "Infield errors or lack of runs have cost him many games but he never has shown any temper Win or lose. he never complains"
 That's Carl Hubbell.
