Hospital Fees May
 Be Sliced In State
White Cross Studying Plan for JObIess Members Ol
 Non.Proit Care Groups; Daley Detroit Speaker

of 7s non-proft hospital care plans at the Statler hotel in Detroit out" lined @ study being made by the Connecticut plan which considers the possibility of cutting rates for members now on c group payment basis who might become unem- ployed.
 we are making this study" MT. Daley told the administrators, with an eye toward widespread unemployment during a period of industrial readjustment following the war. It seems to us that the very nature of 0 non-prof1t plan for hospital care obllges its adminis- trators to give some consideration during Q post.war unemployment period to members who lose their jobs for reasons beyond their con- trol."
 According to Mir. Daley, such Q reduction would have to be made In spite of the fact that on en- ployed person is generally accepted as a "better risk" than an uneEa. ployed person. Ordinarily, 0 mem- ber who leaves an employed group where he belonged to @ non.profit hospital care plan, and does not take up employment where he can continue his membership through a group, goes on direct payment, and pays Q slightly higher rate.
 "The continuation of this set-up during days of general unemploy. ment seems inappropriate for pub lie service organization" MT. Daley said. "As administrators Of non-proflt hospital care plans, we must find some way to change this picture and at the same time keep our plans on Q basis that Is actu" arilly sound"
 He pointed out that any arrange ment, no matter how worthy, that affected the stability of the plan, could not, of cuorse, be undertaken in fairness to total membership or under the insurance laws of the state.
 However" he concluded, 1t ap- pears to us in Connecticut that noIls profit plans for hospital care can work out an arrangement that will see their members through possible dark days ahead without jeopardiz- ing themselves from an actuarial standpoint"
 About 250 persons, representing more than l3,000,00c members of non-profit hospital care plans at- tended the conference. Speakers from plans in all parts of the coun- try discussed a program for achiev- ing health care for all the people of America through voluntary means"

Virginia Gives Counties
Priority on U. 5. Surp|use!
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 30.-An
agreement to see that county needs
are supplied before State needs
when there is insufficient material
to be divided, will henceforth pre-
vail as the policy of the Commission
on Surplus Federal Property, created
by the 1914 General Assembly.
This policy, among others. was
adopted at q policy establishing
session of the commission yesterday
at the State Highway Department.
Other policies to be followed in
future include the ALLEGATION of ma
terial to localities on a population
basis when there is sufficient
amount on hand; the localities will
be asked to list their needs so an
estimate can be made, and it was
agreed that the purchasing program
would follow the procedure worked
out by Arthur B. Gathright, direc-
tor of the Division of Purchase and
Printing.
The commission also went on rec
ord as favoring asking members of
Congress to back the Stewart
Murray-Taft bill, passed by the
Senate last week, which provides
items which might be used for
schools or could be donated to the
State or its political subdivisions or
its 'nonprofit unsupported agencies
or institutions.

citation has informed the Prince
Georges County Board of Education
that its members are opposed to the
contemplated transfer of Temple
Hills children from the cvercrowded
Oxon Hill School to some other ele-
mentary school in the vicinity.
Temple Hills children have been
going to the Oxon Hill School for
years and would not 'like' heine
transferred away from their friends
there, Mrs. Otis Milstead, secretary
OF the association, said today. The
association asked that a new high
school be built in the vicinity OF
Oxon Hill. now accommodating pu-
pills OF all ages, to permit its use
solely for young children.
G. Gardner Shugart, county su-
perintendent of schools, said the
board had ordered him to transfer
students from Oxon Hill, possibly
to Suitland School, If enrolment
rose as high or higher as last years
peak of 60s>elementary school stu
dents in IA class rooms. The Suit
land School is estimated by Mrs
Milstead to be about 3k miles from
Temple Hill; the Oxon Hill School
about miles.
Mr.. Shugart said he expected the
Oxon Hill enrolment would in.
crease, but could not be certain till

Realty Boom Indicated
By Maryland Survey
BY the Associatad Press.

BY the associated Press.
The real estate business-long con-
sidered good barometer of finan-
clal prosperity-is getting set for q
postwar boom of possibly unprece.
dented proportions in Maryland.
A survey of building associations
and consumers demand showed to-
day millions of dollars probably
would be poured into construction
in the immediate postwar period,
the majority of it for homes.
The word probably" is used ad-
visedly, for c. Philip Pitt, secretary
Of the Baltimore Real Estate Board
and the State Real Estate Board,
said it would take prophet to tell
what is going to happen in real
estate or anything else after the
war.
A survey of Baltimore builders,
given as an indication of the ex.
pected Statewide boom, showed,
however, that they were prepared
to construct about 10000 new homes
in the first year after the war,
most of them in the price range of
$4,000 to $4,000. Figured at an aver
age of $1,000 each, the maximum
expected business would reach
$60, 900 900.
Other reports were more openly
optimistic, however.
An official of the State Real Es.
tate Commission said he expected
tremendous influx of new brokers
into the field, which in itself would
be an indication of big business
ahead.
In his opinion, the, greatest de-
mand would come from young
people.

Sick Postwar World
Seen by Tydinqs

Predicting an early end to the
war, Senator Tydings, Democrat. of
Maryland told 500 persons gathered
at supper and rally last night at
the estate of County Commissioner
Lacy Shaw, near Silver Spring. that
the American people should begin
to turn their thoughts to domestic
events.
Senator Tydings said this will be
sick world after the war and we
will not go right into prosperity"
Only wise handling of national
affairs, he said. will keep this coun-
try from another depression. In
the approaching presidential elec-
ton, the voters should be governed
by their own conscience rather than
by Affiliations, he stated.
Many of the problems which will
come up after the war should be
taken care Of by State and county
governments rather than by ma
tional authority, the Senator said.
Senator Tydings, a candidate for
reelection, pledged that If elected
he would serve without being too
much OF Democrat or too little Of
q Republican, but as an American"
Others who spoke at the rally.
which was sponsored by the Wom-
ems Democratic Club OF Silver
Spring, included Daniel p. Nc.
Mullen, Democratic candidate for
the House from the 9Th district.
