BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. July Icon
Struction of a psychopathic hospital

$500 900, will begin as soon as priori-
ties for materials can be obtained.
The building was authorized by
the Board of Public Works at a
meeting in Gov. O'Conor's Office
yesterday after delegations repre-
senting the Mental Hygiene Society
of Maryland and the Board of Re-
gents of the University of Maryland
had recommended the project.
The institution will be operated
in conjunction with University Hos
pital and will provide not only for
emergency care and treatment of
the sick. but for psychiatry training
for medical personnel of State in
situations.
The board, consisting of the Gov
ernor, State Controller J. Willard

Miles, decided to give prior con-
sideration to the hospital because
of need for mental case facilities.

stations throughout Maryland, and
about half that number are in Bal
timore.
Construction funds will come from

100 District Employees Win
Right 10 $500 Pay Raise

Approximately 100 District en-
ployes who earn less than $1,000 a
year and are on a 40-hour week will
receive the $500 differential raise
allowed under the Federal pay bill
even though the raise has the effect
of putting them in new civil serv-
ice grade, District government and
Federal officials decided today.
Objection to the fiat $500 raise
was voiced at first by some officials
because the salaries would be at
variance with civil service grades.
But it was decided that the low
salaried employees were entitled to
the $500 raises as a matter of right.

Tin cans, which the District Sal

come around" he declared He said
this delay, which in one case ran
into several months, was leading to
lack of interest on the part of
tenants.
Horace Walker, executive secre-
tary of the local Salvage Committee,
declaring that I'VE don't feel our
collection service is perfect" ex-
planned that the committee depends
entirely on trucks volunteered by
local business establishments.
He said a pool of only IA trucks
covers the city, and that at least 8
more are required to do the best
job. Requests for collection are
listed during a week, Mr.. Walker
and the following Monday
orders are routed and assignments
made to the volunteers. The cans
usually are picked up the second
week, he added
The apartments where cans have
not been collected, according to Mr.
Davis, are Fontanet Courts, 400
Fairmont street NV, three barrels
of cans; Farnsboro, 2129 Florida
avenue NV, one barrel; Monmouth,
1919 G street NV, two barrels, and
1850 Sixteenth street NV, two large

Mr.. Walker said his records showed
no request ever received from Fon-
tanet Courts, no requests from Mon

quest from $3.50 Sixteenth on June

cause of failure to make collection.

Chairman Connally told one of the
opponents.
Mr.. Cotton called the Charter an
unconstitutional document that
would plunge us into war without
the consent of Congress"
Delegates Power Biggest Issue.
The most important reservations
mentioned thus far would curb the
power of the American delegate on
the Security Council by requiring
Congress to pass on the use of Amer
lean armed force in each case of a
threat to world peace.
In preliminary discussion, Senate
supporters Of the treaty have ex-
pressed the view that the detailed
duties and powers of the delegate
should be left for settlement in the
bill creating that Office, which will
be voted on by the House and Sen
ate after the Charter is ratified.
During yesterdays hearing, how
ever, Senator Millikin, Republican,
of Colorado suggested there would
be a greater degree of good faith in
this country's action if it met the
issue of reservations head-on now
rather than accept the Charter
without strings, and later begin de-
batting possible limitations.
Asked later if he thought it
would be better for the success OF
the United Nations organization if
this country disposed of the reserva-
tons at the start, Senator Connally
agreed, and added that he is ready
to meet the issue now. because we
have the votes to knock them down. 4"

While ratification of the treaty re-

Daughton Plans 10 Ask
Anderson 10 Survey
Military Meat Stocks
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Daughton, Demo-
crat, of Virginia plans TO see Secre-
tary of Agriculture Anderson to-
morrow to ask him for a survey Of
the armed forces meat and poultry
stockpileS, with a view to consider
ing the period the Army should
store periShable food in advance.
Mr.. Daughton said if the Army
would stop storing meat and poul-
try and start using its stockpile for
six months, there would be no more
black market in poultry.
II don't know how many millions
of pounds of poultry alone-and I
mean millions of pounds-the Army
has in cold storage plants" he said.
1.-The poultry people estimate they
have at least a years supply"
Mr.. Daughton said he knew that
at least 100000 pounds of stored
poultry had spoiled because of in
adequate facilities and lack of ex-
perienced personnel He cited an
instance at Newport News, where,
he said, large quantity of poultry,
packed in nearly alright boxes,
rotted before cold air could get to it.
He declared that Tom Stitts, chief
of the Dairy and Poultry Branch of
the Agriculture Department, told
him that the black market in the
mid-Atlantic marketing area could
not be stopped because. of lack of
personnel. The department now
has 20 agents in the area.
Last December, the War Food
Administration ordered all processed
poultry produced in the Delmarva
Peninsula, five counties of the
Shenandoah Valley, and four coun-
ties of West Virginia be set aside for
the Army. The order later was
extended to other sections of the
South.
Trade publications figures show
that last Friday, cold storage poul-
try stocks in four leading markets
New York, Boston, Chicago and
Philadelphia - aggregated 38,864, 121
pounds, Mr.. Daughton said, adding
that in New York alone, Army stocks
on that day totaled nearly two
pounds for every man in the armed
forces.

Mr.. Brownlee was not available

Even before the military cutbacks

there was no likelihood that cloth

Senator Young wrote OPA that
he was concerned" about the avail

people of the North Central States.
In reply, Mr. Brownlee said.
Although the overall positions
