Tydings Asks Action
On Bill 10 Provided DC.
Hospital Facilities

The serious need" of replacing
outworn and overcrowded buildings
Of Washington's nonprofit private
hospitals was outlined yesterday by
Senator Tydings. Democrat, of
Maryland as he placed on the Sen:
ate calendar for action the Tydings-
Bilbo bill to authorize the postwar
construction of a modern hospital
center.
Acting for the Senate District
Committee, which last Monday
unanimously approved the measure.
the Maryland Senator filed a formal
report urging its adoption. He
placed the present hospital bed
shortage here at 2,100 beds and
said it would be 1000 higher but
for overcrowding of existing space.
Greatest Civic Need"
Provision of the proposed 1900
bed hospital center. which would
be used jointly by all participating
nonprofit hospital organizations,
was described in the committee re-
port as obviously the greatest civic
need in the Nations Capital today"
Senator Tydings told the Senate
the pending measure was the result
of 18 months of consideration and
intermittent hearings by the Dis
trict Committee.
Funds for the site, buildings and
equipment would be advanced by
the Federal Government, with one
third of the total initial costs to
be repaid by participating hospitals
over a period of so years, with
interest at 2 per cent annually on
unpaid balances. Upon completion
of the project under Federal Works
Agency control the center would be
turned over to a management cor
poration representing participating
hospitals, to be operated on a self
sustaining basis.
Door Left Open.
Listed as participating are Gar
field, Emergency and the Episcopal
Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hos
pitals, but the bill also leaves the
door open for others to become
members.
The report, in describing the need
for the enabling legislation, states:
THE existing voluntary hospitals
of Washington are in many re-
spects obsolete. The buildings are
antiquated, nonfireproof and badly
planned. Many of the present
patients are in buildings with very
serious fire hazards. In some cases
hospital buildings are situated so
as to prohibit expansion except at
prohibitive cost.
I'm 1941 1t was estimated there
was 1000 hospital bed shortage.
Since 1920 the population of Wash
ington has increased 100 per cent,
the number of hospital beds has
increased during that period only
So per cent. So, while the popula-
ton has more than doubled, the
number of beds has increased only
sone-half.
Short One Half.
Thus we have in the present
hospitals about az beds per 1000
of population. Health standards
require that we have S beds per
1000 persons. We have a bed
shortage of 2,100 at the present
time and of the beds already avail
able ah0,1t 0fln are the result nf
overcrowding.
Recently, under the provisions
of the Lanham Act, authorization
has been granted for increased
facilities at George Washington
University and Georgetown Uni
versity. These additional facilities,
while helping to relieve the extreme
shortage in part, will in no sense
meet the critical need"

WORK OF LSM'S IS
PRAISED BY
YOUTHFUL SKIPPER

1t. P. w. Rairden, U. S. N, in his
position as chief petty officer made talks
before labor organizations and was al
ways welcome.
The Ism is the most useful landing
vessel ever built, according to 1t. percy
Wallace Rairden, u. S. N, youthful skip
per of a Landing Ship, Medium, which
helped to get troops and equipment
ashore in the initial landings on the
Philippines.
while only t%wo-thirds the size of the
LIST, she is an excellent sea-going ship,
handles well even in heavy seas" LIT.
Rairden said. She is very maneuver-
able and travels at a very good clip.
She can beach on shallower beaches than
the LIST and still get off under her own
power. Furthermore, she can be IN
loaded much quicker. The Ism is really
one of the best assets we have for lnva-
sion warfare"
1t. Rairden, a veteran of actions all
the way from the A%leutians to the south
Pacific. commanded the Ism 318 which
was sunk off Ormoc after taking part
in a number of a%mphibious operations in
the Leyte campaign. 1t. Rairden joined
the Navy as an enlisted man at the
beginning of hostilities, and was serving
as flag-quartermaster to Admiral Multi
nix on the Liscombe Bay when the ILL
fated escort carrier was lost at Tarawa.
The Ism moved in with the support
ing echelon the day following the first
assault on Leyte. The beach and the
air above were still ablaze with action
as the flotillas of LSM's and other inva-
sion craft brought in troops, tanks,
trucks, b%ulldozers, a~nti-aircraft guns,
ammunition and other reinforcements.
The landing craft we're repeatedly under
attack by Jap aircraft, but unloading of
vital equipment proceeded without inter
ruption.
My ship happened to be carrying a
cargo of several thousand barrage rock
cts" 1t. Rairden related. Jap Betty's
dwin-engined bombers) were roaring by
and dropping their loads all over the
place. I hate to think what would have
happened if one of their eggs landed
among those rockets. But we got them

and Fairgrounds committees, member of
the judiciary and police committee and
a member OF the public library board.
He is one of the o~riginators Of the
Fairgrounds movement in Butte q years
ago, and when in 1922 he became a
member of the city council he put into
execution the creation of Fairgrounds
for the children of Butte wherever a
suitable site could be obtained. For the
past 26 years he has conducted the an
nual skating carnival and has gradu-
ally brought this event for the young
sters Of Butte to a point where it per-
haps is the outstanding sports event Of
the year.
As chairman Of the ways and means
committee he has closely guarded the
city's appropriations and has rendered
unreasonable service to the taxpayers
of Butte by his careful and deliberate
observance of the city's fiscal budget.
During his two years tenure on the
public library board, many improvements
have been made in the library, notably
the installation of a completely new
fluorescent lighting system; renovation

safely unloaded onto an ammunition
ship"
Then the LSM's went to work moving
Army troops to other parts of Leyte
island-Dinagat, Samar and Panaon. 1t.
Rairden's ship helped to transport the
bodybuilding machinery used to con-
struet airstrips on Samar. Following this
the 3l8 participated in the midnight
landing at Beybey, a short distance down
the coast from the Jap stronghold at
Ormoc. The next morning on the way
back, the Ism 20, Immediately ahead OF
318 in the formation, was heavily hit
from the air and went down. The 40
nm and 20 nm. anti-aircraft guns Of
the 318 knocked down two of the swarm
Of Jap aircraft. Bursts from one of the
20 mm's registering a dead hit on one
Of the enemy planes, disintegrated it in
mid-air
1t. Rairden was particularly enthusi-
astic about the efficiency of his ships
anti-aircraft armament. We think a
lot of those Twenties and Forties in
the Amphibious fleet. In another ac-
ton, for instance, one of our Forties
broke up two Jap bombers with consecu-
tive bursts. That gives you an idea
how good they are.
For their next mission. the IssMs
loaded up and sailed to make the initial
landing on ormoc. They had to race a
Jap task force to get there, the enemy
seeking to reinforce his troops holding
the base. But the American ships got
there first and landed the nth infantry
division, while Army planes caught the
Jap convoy and destroyed it wholesale.
There was beautiful coordination on
that Job said 1t. Rairden. Everything
went according to schedule-ship bonn
bardment support, rocket barrage. air
cover. And I want to say right here
that there is no more effective beach
assault weapon in existence than the
rocket. 1t just exterminates enemy re-
sistance on the beaches
