DR.. Sweeney also has asked the
Commissioners for permission to use
80 cadet nurses training in private
hospitals under a Federally sub
sidized program for the final g.
months period of practical expert
ence required before graduation.
Cost to the District, he said, would
be $50 a month at a minimum, plus
maintenance for each senior cadet
assigned to the hospital
Services thus provided, he said,
would enable him to reopen So beds
in the tuberculosis ward.
The American Red Cross said the
national picture is similar. Only a
few of the $4,000 nurses recruited
by the services at some time dur
ing the war have returned to civil
liam duty, an official said. A partial
survey of these women indicated
the same as the Army that 81 per
cent planned to enter some other
type of endowment.

Preparatory Work Started
For K Street viaduct

Reconstruction ground work is
now being done for the proposed K
street viaduct to be financed jointly
by the District and the Public Roads
Administration at cost Of about
81 $50, 900 each.
Work under way involves reloca-
ton of sewers, utility mains and
the like which would be affected by
the digging when the actual work
begins on the project.
Plans, now complete, call for the
viaduct to run from where X
street crosses Rock Greek Park
way, under the first arch of Key
Bridge, and to swing around north
to M street.
Highway Department engineers,
however, said they were not yet
ready to ask for bids on the project.

Hotel Sanitation Rules
Enforcement Probed

An inquiry into what authority the
District government now has, or
lacks, to enforce sanitation regula-
lions IN hotels was begun yesterday
by the staff of the House District
Committee after receiving a protest
about dirty linens" in one hosiery.
The Commissioners this week will
be requested to report on the extent
OF their powers and regulations
under present law and to submit
proposed legislation if needed.
"A complaint against conditions in
hotel near the Capitol came from a
visiting West Virginia physician who
protested the use of dirty, unclean-
ed, used linen"
The complaint was forwarded to
Health Officer George C. Rutland
for report. He replied the depart
ment does not have specific" regu-
lations concerning the sanitation
of hotels.
Dr.. Rutland referred to the leg
islation recently requested by the
Commissioners to revise and
strengthen the license code of the
District, and said when this has
been enacted it was proposed to
prepare regulations for the control
of all types of multiple housing, in
Guiding hotels.
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee has introduced
bill to nodernize and strengthen
the license code. Hearings are ex-
pected to be called on this measure
early next year.

Rutland Urges War on Rats
After Study Of Typhus Case

Health Ofhcer George G. Rutland
yesterday asked the community to
declare war on rats and promised
the assistance of the Health Depart
ment.
His request was the result of the
Districts first typhus case in three
years which the Health Department
reported Friday. DR.. Rutland said
the victim came from the vicinity
OF the railroad yards where the
cases of several years ago had gen.
orally occurred.
The victim, a 12-year-old colored
girl of the 200 block of K street NE,
has been released as cured. How
ever the department has made
checks in the neighborhood and one
rat caught was found to have the
infection.
DR.. Rutland said that with cold
weather he does not anticipate much
trouble from typhus but urged the
public to do its part in curbing the
rat nuisance. Prevention of garbage
piles and rubbish piles and the rat
proofing of buildings, he said, were
measures citizens could take to help
out. His department, he said, would
help with poisoning and trapping.

District Opens Hearing
Tomorrow on PinbaII
Licensing Proposals

Hearings to determine whether
pinball machines should be licensed
will open at 10 am. tomorrow at
the District Building.
A draft of proposed regulations
has been prepared by the Corpora
ton Counsel's Office calling for Ii
censing of all mechanical amuse-
ment devices and forbidding their
use by children under II years of
age.
1t is understood that representa-
tives of machine distributors have
conferred with District lawyers over
the possibility that the definition
now in the proposed regulations
would cover a host of innocent me-
chanical games of the football,
baseball or hockey type as well as
claw machines.
Some of the distributors, it was
said, want to limit control and Ii
censing only to the pinball machines
that have prompted complaints by
police and civic groups for 10 years.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray said the hearing
was being held to find out two
things: whether pinball machines
should be regulated at all, and if so,
how.
Mr.. Gray said he felt the Com
missioners have ample authority to
regulate the machines under exist
ing legislation if regulation is de-
sired. The police department has
approved the proposed draft, pre-
pared by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Hubert Pair, if it is decided
that the machines should be regu-
lated. :.
A Court of Appeals decision last
year held that piaball machines are
amusement rather thar, gambling
devices.
The current suggestion for regu-
lation originated with the Juvenile
Bureau of the Police Department
under 1t William T. Murphy, which
again brought up the question of
the effect of the machines on .juye-
nile delinquency.

Pay Raises 10 Give
D. {. 6 Million Deficit
By July, Fowler Says
By JOHN W. THOMPSON. Jr

ny JOKAlN W. 1uONkf oON, Jr.
The District will be more than
100000 'in the red" by the end
of June as result of pay increases
to District employees under the pay
acts of last July.
This was disclosed yesterday by
District Budget Officer Walter l..
Fowler in report to the Budget
Bureau on the supplemental appro-
priations he will need to meet the
city's payrolls through the remain
der of the fiscal year.
Actually, overtime compensation
of $1,340,000 will push the amount
by which obligations exceed ap-
preparations to more than $1,000 900,
but the city has been able to
write off about $1,000, 900 from saw
ings and lapsed salaries from va
cancies.
Thus District officials will have
to ask for additional appropriations
of $6.114,081 in the next deficiency
bill, which they estimate will be
passed early next spring. The cur
rent appropriation probably will
last through March, it was esti-
mated.
Increase Anticipated.
The situation results from the
fact that the appropriation for
salaries this year was made before
the increases under the new pay
act were decided. The Commits
sioners, however, anticipating pas
sage OF the acts, set aside S., 800 900
in expected revenues to meet the
raises. An additional $4,000, 900 set
aside for other deficiency appropria-
tons will give them enough money
in the Treasury to pay the bill once
the deficiency appropriation Is ap-
proved, it was said.
The proposed deficiency request
will bring the Districts payroll for
classified employees, teachers, police
and firemen to more than $40, 0O0,-
600 and raise the total 1916 budget
for the Capitals expenses to $72,-
600 900. It does not include pay in
creaSes granted by the District Per-
sonnet Board to some $500 per diem
employees not covered by Federal pay
statutes.
Overtime Unavoidable.
It was pointed out that the deficit
alone, even without the amount for
overtime compensation, exceeds the
Sc, 000, 600 which the Federal Gov
eminent annually contributes to
District expenses.
The requested total of $6,114, 1851
Is made up Of $3,2l5. 223 needed to
cover classified District employees,
$l,537 ,422 for police and firemen,
and 81 1851 1856 for teachers. These

Federation Opposes
Speedy Action On
Price Fixing Bill

Protest against quick action on
the Saltonstall bill to permit the
fixing of minimum prices on all
trademarked and name branded
competitive products sold here was
filed with the Senate District Com
mittee yesterday by a spokesman
for the Federation of Citizens As
sociations, which opposes the meas
ure.
The subject is of such importance
sal John H. Connaughton, chairman
of the Law and Legislation Com
mittee of the federation, that 1t
should have fair, candid and I'M
hurried consideration" His state
ment was filed as the committee
completed arrangements for a final
public hearing on the issue at 10
am. tomorrow.
I'VE can see no reason that would
require speedy consideration of this
BILL" Mr.. Connaughton said, ,"espe-
cially in view OF the fact that our
association did not have advance
notice of the subcommittee hear
ing. This subject has ben before
Congress on sereval occasions since
1880 and has been the subject Of a
veto on one occasion"
LESS Leaders" Affected.
Chairman Bilbo of the District
Committee, in calling tomorrow's
session, said he hoped all the pro
and con arguments would be made
before the legislation was submitted
to the Senate for action.
One effect of passage of the bill
some observers say, would be to
end the Gloss leader" cut-rate sales
and others argue it would result in
a rise In price for most OF the stand
ard products. Sponsors OF the bill
argue it is needed for the protection
of legitimate products now in the
competitive field.

.Shopkeepers Face Action
Over Shori-Weiqht Sales

A half dozen District shopkeepers
face court action for short-weight
sales, the Bureau Of Weights and
Measures disclosed yesterday.
Each faces trial on from three to
nine counts, it was said.
Short weighing has increased
since controls were lifted from meat
sales, very little having been re-
ported during the shortage, 1t was
said.
One shopkeeper, according to the
bureau, paid q $50 fine last week
after being found guilty on six
counts.
