Hospital Program
Citizens Group Urges
Four 500 Bed Units on
Outskirts Of City

A postwar plan for four munich
pally owned and operated hospitals
one in each section of the District
was urged last night at meeting OF
the Randle Highlands Citizens AS
ISOLATION.
The plan, presented by Joseph H
Deckman, president of the associa-
ton and chairman of a special com
mittee, calls for four 500-bed hos
pitfalls, to be constructed on high
ground on the outer edges of the
city. Because of the lack of hos
pital facilities on the east side of the
Anacostia River the report calls for
the first hospital to be constructed
in that section.
Five AmbuIances Each.
The plan also calls for each hos
pital, which would be general hos
pltals for persons of moderate in
comes, to have five ambulances each
The medical management would be
under the Board of Public Health
while matters of public policy and
financial affairs would be managed
by q board Of directors composed of
two prominent persons and one ply
sician from each section of the city
and the chairman of the Board OF
District Commissioners as chairman
Stating that because of the critical
shortage of building materials it is
impossible to carry out the plan now
the report suggested that clinics be
established in various parts of the
city to carry through the war emer-
gency. 1t suggested that commercial
property might be used for such q
purpose
The association also asked the
roping off of Pennsylvania avenue
between Fifteenth and Seventeenth
streets Sc, during rush hours. AT
present, Southeast civic leaders have
complained of traffic congestion
at Barney Circle, claiming that dur
ing rush hours a number Of street.
cars are unable to enter the circle
to load buses.
Under the roping off plan, buses
would be able to load and unload
beside the street cars. Other traffic
it was said, would be detoured down
Kentucky avenue and K street, a.
1t was when Sousa Bridge was under
construction.
Other steps taken by the associa-
ton included request for a District
budget item for planning future
public buildigns, a request that pri-
vate property be leased for SUBJ
Fairgrounds in various parts of the
city, and that pay increases be given

cut job of constructive economy" by
eliminating waste without inter-
fering with the war effort"

here asking that the Govern
ment's antitrust action against
the Associated Press be expe-
dited and heard by a court con-
siSt1ng of at least one Circuit

gle Federal Judge to hear such

general public importance" the
Attorney General asked that it "be
assigned for hearing at the earliest
practical date and in every way ex-
pedited.

monopoly was filed in Federal Dis
trict Court here last August %, and
asked the court to order the Asso-
ciated Press, worlds largest news
gathering organization, to open its
membership rolls to any newspaper
willing to pay its proportionate
share of the cost of gathering news.
The Associated Press filed an
answer on October 27 denying the
monopoly charge and asserting that
"a, free press requires that news
papers shall be free to collect and
distribute news " and that they
shall be free to choose their asso-
ciates in so doing"
The Associated Press serves it's
members on a non-profit co-opera-
tive basis.
Wants One Circuit Judge.

the clerk of the Federal Court to
Immediately furnish copy to the
senior circuit judge Tor, in his alb
sence. the presiding circuit judge of

three judges, of whom at least one
shall be circuit judge, be desig
mated to hear and determine said
case"
Judge Learned Hand is the senior

ant, who represented the Attorney
General, said that usually the two

action was filed. He added that Ger
