Randolph Seeks
Speedy Hospital
Measure Action
1.500-Bed Project
Approved by Senote
Without Opposition

Chairman Randolph Of the House
District Committee moved today to
speed House consideration Of the
Tydings-Bilbo bill adopted unani-
mously yesterday by the Senate to
provide for the construction early
in the postwar period of a 1,5OO-bed
modern hospital center for Wash
ington.
Mr.. Randolph directed that the
measure be referred to the Public
Health Subcommittee of his group
as soon as it arrives through legis-
lative channels and that copies be
obtained of the transcript of hear
ings held before the Tydings SUBJ
committee Of the Senate District
Committee.
Sees Quick Action.
He asked that the Public Health
Subcommittee, headed by Repre-
sentative Mcmillan, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, consider the testi-
mony compiled in the Senate and
decide whether additional hearings
would be desirable.
Anticipating prompt consideration
would be given by members of his
committee, Mr.. Randolph said the
need for modernization and expan-
sion of hospital facilities here was
widely recognized and he voiced be-
lief the House would look with
favor on legislation that is neces-
sary if the National Capital is to
have adequate facilities for medical
care and research work"
The cost of the center has not
been closely calculated as yet, since
this will depend to some degree on
costs OF site, postwar wage rates and
the equipment, but Senator Tydings
has been given estimates. ranging
from $500, 900 to $4,000 900.
Is Months of Hearings.
Mr.. Randolph and Representative
D'Alesandro, Democrat, of Maryland
were co-sponsors with Senator Tyd-
ings and Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee of the
original proposal for legislation to
establish a modern medical center
here.
Senate passage of the bill ch-
NAKED about 18 months of study
and hearings by members of Tie
| Senate committee on means of re-
placing inadequate, overcrowded and
out-of-date buildings of various
nonproflt private hospitals here.
In its final form, the Senate bill
authorizes the advance of necessary
amounts of Federal funds to provide
the site, structures and equipment
for the center, which, after compile
ton, would be operated on a self
sustaining basis by participating
nonprof1t voluntary" hospitals.
One-third of the total initial
costs would be repaid by participat-
ing hospitals over a period of so
years, with interest at per cent
annually on unpaid balances. These
costs would be apportioned among
the hospitals participating in the
plan, all of which would have repre-
sentation on the directorate of the
Washington Hospital Corp. to be
created by the legislation to operate
the new center.
The center would conduct charity
work, but operation costs would be
met out of revenues from pay pa
tients and, if necessary, out of en-
dowments and other resources Of
participating hospitals. Listed in
the bill as participating members
are the Garfield. Emergency and
Episcopal Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat
Hospitals, and the measure leaves
the door open for other nonprofit
private hospitals to join in the plan.

House Members Plan
Meetings 10 Study
plans for HOUSING

House members drafting bill
to provide one or more congressional
apartment buildings to rent at rea-
Sonable rates to members of Con-
gress and their secretaries plan q
series OF meetings next week to
whip the measure into final shape.
This was disclosed yesterday at a
conference during which a proposal
for free housing was offered by
Representative Bailey, Democrat, Of
West Virginia, and Immediately dis
approved by Representative Patrick,
Democrat, of Alabama, who Is lead
ing the housing campaign.
Better Than $1,000 Raise.
Mr.. Bailey suggested that legis-
llation to give members of Congress
free housing would be more accept
able than a 5000 salary increase.
But Mr. Patrick Immediately as
Iserted that free housing was not
his aim.
1--WE need housing that always
would be available" he said, but
what we are thinking of Is a self
Iliquidating project"

Iproblem was to determine how
many members would be interested
in such project, what site they
would prefer and what rent they
would consider reasonable. He re-
ported there still are 81 members
of Congress who have not been able
to find suitable" quarters and that
a much larger number of secretaries
are in the same predicament.
The conference heard j. B. Sha-
lpiro, Washington realtor and build
Ter. outline proposal that Congress
select as its preferential housing a
large group of apartments he plans
to build.
Malcolm M. Kilduff suggested
that some members of Congress
would want suburban two-story
garden" type homes, instead OF
apartments near Capitol Hill
Mr.. Patrick said he would ar
range tours for interested Repre-
sentatives to see developments o1

Maryland's Senate
May Act Next Week
On Jim Crow Law
By the Associated Press.

6s the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. s.-Sen-
ate action next week on Maryland's s
4o-year-old "Jim Grow" law was
predicted last night by Chairman
Byrnes of the Senate Judicial Pro-
ceedings Committee.
AS legislators left for their week.
end recess, Senator Byrnes, who is
in favor of repeal of the law, said
he was not prepared to say whether
his committee would give a favor
able report on the repeater.
He added, however, that he had
every reason to hope for such action.
The measure was sponsored by M.
e. Milton Altfeld, Democrat, of Bal
timore.
Notes Favorable Reaction.
Mr.. Byrnes noted "a most favor
able reaction to the hearing on the
bill which was held earlier this
week." He said, "Some minds have
been changed"
He said he felt it to be in the best
interests of the measure to put of
formal action until a report and
recommendations by the State Com
mission to Study Problems Affecting
the Colored Population is laid before
his committee and the Legislature.
Legislators have understood that
this bi-racial commission, headed
by Joseph P. Healy, prominent Bal
timore Catholic layman, will urge
that the old law be repealed at this
session of the Legislature in order
to further desirable race relations in
the State.
Sternest opposition to the repeater
is expected from Senate Eastern
Shore members, who. in general, are
believed to oppose the bill.
The old law provides for the seq
regation of Negroes and whites In
certain situations and, except for
several counties, is not generally
applied in the State.

One of the Senate bills would
allow the granting of divorces in
Maryland 'by reason of the volun-
tary separation of the parties for
three consecutive years"
A bill which would require labor
unions to file annual financial re-
ports with the secretary of state and
place other regulations over them
was introduced in the Senate by
Senator Joseph A. Wilmer, Repub-
hcan, of Charles.
1t was proposed by the American
Citizens Association, headed by
Harry F. Klinefelter, a Baltimore
insurance man.
The Maryland-District Industrial
Union Council and various labor
spokesmen already have gone on
record against it, and a hot fight
on it was anticipated.
It would require labor unions to
list elected officers with the Secre-
tary of State and would outlaw the
closed shop, strikes against city or
State government and strikes aris-
ing from interunion disagreements.
Intentions to strike would have to
be certified to the Secretary of State.
