New GaIIinger Wing
ForIpenereaI Cases
Accepted by District

The new rapid wing of
the venereal disease ward at Gal
lingeri Hospital was formally &C
cepted by the District government
yesterday from the builder, and will
be put in operation as soon as equip
ment can be installed.
Several District and FWA officials,
headed by Commissioners j. Russell
Young and Guy Mason, inspected
the building, formally took it over
from the contractor, Eugene Simp-
son &, Bro, and transferred it to DR..
Daniel Seckinger, acting superin-
tendent Of the hospital.
THE new building will be a dis
tinct advantage to the hospital itself,
in providing more facilities for treat
ment of veneral disease" declared
DR.. Seckinger, land also will be a
definite factor In helping to reduce
venereal disease throughout the Dis
trict."
Cases from 81 clinics all over the
city will be sent to the place for
treatment according to DR.. F. G..
Gillick, director of the Bureau Of
Venereal Diseases, of the Health De-
partment, one of the inspecting
officials.
The new building, which is con-
nected with the renovated old vene-
real disease ward-formerly the nose
and throat clinic-received approval
of all inspecting onicials. They were
particularly interested in the use Of
many kinds of plastics, taking the
place of critical materials. The
old and new buildings, connected by
a covered corridor will have a total
capacity of about 100 beds.
Among others on the inspection
tour were Col. Joseph D. Arthur, jr.,
Assistant Engineer Commissioner;
Nathan Wyeth, municipal architect;
D. V. Aud, liaison officer for the
District with FWA; James B. Latta,

ter Of peacetime economy. The
supply Of our far-fiung armies and
to a great measure that of our Allies
has been under the direction Of this
extremely able officer Gen. Somer-
velD. Under his direction, the orig
inal situation of too little and too
late has been changed into an ex-
traordinary efficient flow Of NUM-
tons, food and medicines.
AT the time the Canol project
was started, the Japanese had the
initiative in the Pacific and were
threatening continental United
States. There was q possibility
that an attack would be launched
through the Aleutians. To meet
this threat, it was essential that
this country and its allies have an
oil supply as near Alaska as pos
sible. There was every reason for
belief that sea lines of supply would
fail.
This was but one of the many
threatening situations which faced
our supply chiefs in the early stages
of the war. Gen. Somervell acted
with his customary decision to
remedy what might well have been
serious situation. The result of
that decision is now being criticized
in the light of our subsequent good
fortune. Wars are not won in
retrospect.
Being at war, we must keep our
thoughts on military lines The
Canol project has always been ap-
