Division Of Districts
Highway Aid Ana!Yzed

The Associated General Contrac-
tors of America estimated today
that out of $500 900 due the Dis
trict under the s500,000, 900 Federal
aid fund for a three-year postwar
highway program, sl.550,O0 would
be for "on-site labor" $2,622 900 for
materials and sl,788 900 for other
expenses.
Under the program. it was ex-
planned, the $500, 900, 900 in Federal
money is to be apportioned among
the States each year on 50-5(
matching basis, thus providing ap-
proximately $1,000, ,000, 900 annually
for the national program.
AS to the spread of business &C.
tivity resulting from the program
the contractors reported that busi.
ness transactions involved in han
ding and processing materials ano
equipment used in road construc-
ton would approximate three times
the total highway expenditure
which. would mean about S3,000,-
000, 600 each year during the three
year period of the program.

ST. Elizabeth S Asks
5OO-P atient Building
To Replace Seven

The Budget Bureau has been
asked by st. Elizabeths Hospital for
funds to construct 500-patient
building to replace seven temporary
structures erected during the last
war.
DR. Winfred Overholser, hospital
superintendent. in confirming the
appropriation request, said the prof.
ect would result in no net increase
in the number of beds. 1t does,
however, provide facilities for a
laundry and storeroom.
The official said the hospitals
facilities have been taxed as a result
of the war but was trying to get by
with as little additional funds as
possible. The hospital has been get
ting assistance from Navy psychi-
artists and hospital corpsmen, he
pointed out.
Nevertheless, the hospitals junior
staff lacks six of the IL resident
psychiatrists provided for, Dr.
Overholser said.
1t is estimated that 1852 patients
are now being treated at st.
Elizabeth's.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, acting
of Gallinger Hos
pital, said the Gallinger institution
was stretched to the breaking point
in many services"
For instance, they have only four
although the Over
hoiser report of last year on Gal
linger recommended eight, DR.. Seek
niger pointed out. They have money
for a fifth but cannot find any one
to take the job, he said. Next
years budget calls for six psy-
A new psychiatric unit also has
been recommended by the Over
holser Committee but officials see
no hope of immediate construction

Mae West Gives
| Special Show
For Servicemen

The Red Cross thought it would
be nice if Mae West. who is in town
on business, would drop in at some
of the service hospitals and say
hello to the boys. Meredith Howard,
who is in charge of entertainment
for the Red Cross in this area, asked
Miss West if she would do it.
Miss West said she had a better
idea. You just tell the boys to
come up and see me some time-to-
morrow afternoon, let's say-and I'll
put on special show for them"
That was Thursday noon Yesterday,
900 service men from all the near
by hospitals and camps and from
the British, French and Chinese
missions turned up at the National
Theater to see Catherine Was
Great" as Miss Vests guests.

Budget Bureau Backs
Free Registration
OF Discharge Papers

Legislation cleared the Budget
Bureau today to give District vet
Grams one of the rights ex-service-
men enjoy in most other commun-
ities-the privilege of registering
their discharge papers free of charge
with the decorder of deeds.
Every serviceman leaving the
armed forces is advised to protect
his discharge certificate by having
it recorded, but the recorder of
deeds Office explained that only
papers relating to real or personal
property can be recorded here under
present law
Frederick S. Weaver, deputy re-
corder, said that daily he has to
turn away dozen or more service
men attempting to do what they
had been told. District Court Off
cials, he said, had offered to do the
recording, but were told it was out
of their Jurisdiction.
The Commissioners sent a bill to
viz ASAa6CC DOi Cdu All SlCdl Oll
December 10 and got the bill back
today from the Budget Bureau fol-
lowing approval by the War and
Navy Departments and clearance
by the Justice Department.
The bill authorizes the recorder to
register the discharge papers free
but charge for certified copies of
the documents.
A Navy spokesman explained that
|servicemen were urged to register
the discharge certificates in case
they should lose the originals and
have to prove their discharge
quickly. Many employers, he said,
ask for proof of discharge and if
the papers are not at hand the vet
eran faces the tedious process of
applying for copies. This might
take SO long that he would lose his
lob opportunity. il WAS pointed ont

today.
Two meetings were held yesterday

nous giver had increased his con-
tribution of $4,000 last year to $4,000

Hero Gives Thanks.
A Medical Corps man wounded on
Guam, who later received SO much
blood that he feels related" to every
one who ever donated blood to the
Red Cross, thanked the luncheon
meeting at the Chamber of Com
/ merce for the efforts of the organi-
zation on behalf of servicemen.
After bullet had struck him as he
finished administering first aid to
another soldier, Pvt. Kenneth DietZ,
"a. of Pittsburgh, now at Walter
Reed Hospital. he said he was given
four bottles of blood plasma at the
same time. On the trip to base
hospital he received seven more
pints.
Another serviceman, Seaman First
Class Everett Keffer, 81, of Shilling
ton, Pa. described being blown $50
feet off his ship and fracturing his
leg on D day. Red Gross aides and
Gray Ladies made life as comfort
able as possible during his conva-
lescence in England and more re-
Gently at the Bethesda Naval Hos
