Medical. Help Held
Need Of Alcoholics

Declaring alcoholism to be medi-
cal problem, the District Medical So
ciety last night stressed the necessity
of participation by doctors in any
plan put forth for treatment of al
coholics.
The position Of the society was set
forth in a three-point set of prin-
ciples formulated by the society S
subcommittee, as follows:
Alcoholism is a medical problem
and there are many causes for it
which only physicians are capable
of diagnosing. The importance of
the work done by psychologists
physical therapists, social workers
and others is recognized, but in any
event, supervision of the care of al
coholicS should be in the hands of
the physicians.
Clinics for ALCOHOLICS are desir-
able. However, they should be un-
der the supervision of psychiatrist
These clinics might act in an ad-
vlsory capacity to the courts.
There should be legal provisions
for the commitment of alcoholics
and drug addicts, as such. to some
institution, private or public"
Members of the subcommittee are
DR.. Winfred Overholser, chairman;
DR.. Isadore Rods, DR.. Leonard M
Dub, DR.. Walter Freeman, DR.. Rob-
ert H. Groh, DR.. Albert E. Marland
DR.. Fred A. Moss and Theodore Wi

Blood Bank Dispenses
1863 Units in I Months

The Community Blood-Plasma
Bank, Inc, of 1885 H street NV,
which took over the Civilian Defense
blood bank of 1000 plasma units,
has dispensed 369 units in various
hospitals since the incorporation of
the bank last August, it reported
yesterday to the Commissioners.
Hospitals taking part in the COM
munity bank operations are Casu-
atty, Doctors, Garfield, Sibley Beth
esda, Prince Georges, Washington
Sanitarium and George Washington
University.
Initial operating expenses were
met through ST 900 donation from
the Civilian Defense Fund of the
Central Labor Union.
Reporting receipts Of SASS, Fred
S. Walker, secretary-treasurer of the
blood bank, said that finances do
not bother us much, with expenses
of about $270 month and receipts
OF around $500, we now have a bank
balance of about $500. Plasma is
dispensed at cost of $3.50, plus a
replacement pint of blood, and in
some cases we agree to two pints
for one TRANSMISSION at no cost"
Mr.. Walker said there had been
only SO units of blood replaced, most
patients preferring to pay SIS. The
replacement can be made by a friend
Of the patient. A free TRANSMISSION is
given on certificate of indigency
from the attending physician.
Saying that the bank has "ex-
ceeded our expectations" Mr.. Walker
expressed the hope that all local
hospitals would in time operate
under the bank plan. Some hos
pitals have their own blood banks,
it was said.

Ga||inger Receipts Up
Sharply, Ruh|and Tells
Critics Of Free Care

Published reports that women with
mink coats and alcoholics with
81 900 in thei, pockets were receiving
free clinical facilities at municipal
hospitals were met last night by a
statement from Health Officer
George C. Rutland that collection
from pay patients at Gallinger Mu-
nicipal Hospital has increased from
$3.50 in 1910 to $44 4,693 in 1914.
DR.. Rutland said that during the
first two months of this year more
than $4,000 has been collected at
Gallinger, which indicated $85, ,OOO
would be collected this year.
The health officer admitted, how
ever, that shortage of personnel and
rapid turnover of staff of the Hos
pital Permit Bureau has "hindered
complete investigation of hospital
admissions" He also stated that
the department had been unable as
yet to establish a 24-hour service
including Sundays and holidays for
the social and economic investiga-
ton of applicants for care at Gal
linger.
DR.. Rutland said public state
ments attributed to Douglas N
West, director of the Permit Bureau
concerning patients at Upshul
Street Hospital who are receiving
treatment free or at lower rates
than they could pay were very un-
fortunately misinterpreted." The
health officer added:
"The facts are that pay patients
were admitted to municipal hospi.
tails in conformity with legal pro.
visions governing hospital care ir
the District of Columbia in specific
illness categories. such as tubercu.
losis, contagious diseases and psy.
chopathic patients. In addition, ar
act of Congress has authorized the
District Commissioners to prepare
schedules of pay according to the
economic status of emergency OF
semi INDECENT patients"

This Year, Experts Say Cut Slack Hour Trips

A proposal by the Capital Transit
Co. to reduce non-rush hour opera
tions of streetcars has been re-
ferred to the engineering staff of
the Public Utilities Commission for
study.
The company claimed, in letter
signed by E. D. Merrill, president
that continuing manpower short
ages" has made it necessary to re-
wise schedules to obtain more uni
form service and car loadings, and
predicted that similar changes
might have to be made for bus
schedules.
The proposed revisions allow saw
ings of So cars and 178 men, it was
said. This would enable the COM
pany to operate some of the $50 to
us streetcar and bus runs which
are unassigned at present because
Of manpower shortage.
On the North Capitol street
Maryland and Tenleytown- -Pennsyl-
vania avenue routes, it is planned
to reduce the number of trips pei
hour from Is to IL; the U street
lines 80 and 80 would be cut from
II trips per hour to 10, while the
Mount Pleasant routes, 40 and AZ
would be reduced from 20 cars ar
hour to 172. No change is proposed
on the Cabin John line which has
only four trips an hour.
