The international monetary fund,

Representative Dewey, Republican

United States $2,75o,0o0,ooo with
little, If any. benefit resulting.
Portending a rugged course in
Congress for the monetary plan,
which Is contingent on ratification
by the legislative bodies Of the par
ticipating nations, Mr.. Dewey pro-
posed that the United States set up
its own international credit ma

tions, by expansion OF this Govern

81 600, 900 900 capital.
Choice Is Presented.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry in the House, Mr.. Dewey said
this country must make a choice
on the following:
ITO join with an international
fund in which we have little con-
troll and in which our losses might
be very severe, or, develop our own
international credit machinery to
such point that in cooperation
with private capital the question OF
surpluses Gn this country can be
solved in a manner satisfactory tc
ourselves and with a foreknowledge
Of what, if any, our lcsses may be. ,

Mr.. Dewey said this country woulc
have only small voice in the ad-
ministration Of the fund, and de-
clared fatty that the United States
should maintain an intelligently
selfish point of view" with more in
terest in finding jobs for its return

Of other countries.
Risks Outweigh Benefits.
Having attended the Breton
Woods monetary parley as a guest
he said he had come to the con-
clusion that any possible benefits to
the economy of the United States
are far outweighed by the risks in

Since Friday the Russians be-

three rivers, the Narew, the Upper
Bug and the Biebrza, crossed yester-

throughout long period of spread
ing too thinly the inadequate funds
available. 1t has been said that
hospital architecture as a specially
within the art was almost unknown
so years ago."
About two years ago, he recalled
some of the private hospital leaders
thought Lanham Act funds might
be secured because of the emergency
resulting from the war. They ap-
peared before committees of Con-
gress, he said, and Senator McCar-
ran, Democrat, of Nevada, then
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, seemed entirely SYM
pathetic and greatly impressed
The group was referred to Maury
Maverick, as representative of the
War Production Board, who called
in two Federal Government advis-
ers. Everett w. Jones and Neil Mac
Donald, who had made survey OF
hospital facilities.
Made Feel Pretty Small"
Mr.. Drayton told the Tydings sub
committee, I'VE were made to feel
pretty small" when the Federal
Hospital consultants said we were
not making the best use of our
available hospital facilities-that
many more beds could be provided
in the. existing hospital space"
Only recently, he added, some of
the beds so provided had to be re-
moved under orders of the Chill
dren's Bureau. This agency admin
listers the emergency maternal and
infant care program providing serv-
icemen's wives and their babies un-
der one year of age with free hos
pitalization and medical care.
Garfield Hospital, whose direc-
tors have agreed to enter the new
hospital plan, added three beds to
an already crowded colored OBJ
stetrical ward, and four to white
obstetircal ward, under pressure
from WPB. and Federal Security
Agency" Mr.. Drayton said. The
three colored beds. he added were
removed August 7, on demand of
the Children's Bureau
Pressure also was eXerted by Gov
ernment representatives to place
beds in emergency rooms, waiting
rooms, and internes' rooms, he
added.
Against the better judgment Of
the hospital authorities" he con-
tinued, this demand was acceded
to in part, although less than one
half of the beds demanded were put
in. Following placement of the
smaller number of beds, the fire de-
partment made an inspection and
required five whole rooms to be va
Gated of hospital beds" He said
this was ordered to provide access
to the fire tower, and to meet fire
requirements.
8 Beds in One Bed Rooms.
At Emergency Hospital (another
participating in the hospital center
plan) 20 beds for adults were added,
under similar pressure" the wit
ness said This was accomplished
by placing II beds in space needed
for other purposes and by crowding
an extra bed into each of. eight pri-
vate rooms which were suitable for
one bed only

emphasize how hard it has been in
the emergency of a world war to
impress Government officials with
Washington's needs" he said.

Imports by America
Seen as Real Key 10
Sound Postwar Order
" the Associated Press.

Expansion of American foreign
trade in the postwar years and, al.
most as directly, the erection of 6
sound world economic order, de.
pend on how much goods and serv.
ices the United States is willing tt
buy from abroad, the Foreign Policy
Association said in a report made
public yesterday.
The study, prepared by Howard
p. Whidden, jr., of the associations
research staff, asserts:
1T Is not unreasonable to con-
template great expansion OF
American foreign trade unless the
postwar period is to be one OF
economic nationalism, quasi-isola-
tionism, and narrowly regarded self
suff1ciency."
The problem comes down, the re-
port says, to how to get dollars into
foreigners hands SO they can buy.
U. S. Imports Are Real Key.
Mr.. Whidden argues for capital
investment abroad, loans and other
measures for making American
funds available but says American
imports are the real key, pointing
out that they constitute the only
final means of repayment.
The economist says the United
States has gained trade advantages
from lease-lend by familiarizing the
recipients with the quality of Amer
ican goods, but he adds:
AT the end of the war, the United
States will once more be faced with
the problem of supplying the world,
through purchases of imports and
services and by means of capital
exports, with enough dollars to ac-
commodate the merchandise exports
which this country will be anxious
to sell and which the world will
wish to buy. For no country can
for any length of time export more
to foreign countries than it imports
from or lends to them.
Must Lower Tariff.
IF a repetition of the debacle of
the 30s Is to be avoided, this calls
for reduction in the American
tariff substantial enough to permit
other countries to regain and eX-
pand their sales in the American
market"
Mr.. Whidden says maintenance
of the domestic economy at high
level is necessary to absorption of
such increased imports and con-
CludeS:
IF the United States can keep
both its domestic economy and its
foreign trade on an even keel, its
tremendous productive capacity
might well become the generating
force in a worldwide trade ex-
pansion comparable with that of the
18th century"

 New Zealand Engineers, who took Faenza, under siege for more than a month, were removing booby traps and cleaning out isolated pockets of Germans in northern districts of the town.
 The east bank of the Senio was reported clear of the enemy south west of the highway for six miles to the confluence with the Sinitrio River. On the left flank Polish troos advancing toward the Senio took the villages of Limisano and CaSette.
 A communique reported Canadian Troos, moving north from their bridgehead across the Lamone Ri- yer, had made further progress. Other Canadian units striking south toward Bagnacavallo from bridge head across the Naviglio Canal cap- tured 130 Germans, bringing their total to more than HOO in two weeks.
