State Secretary
b. the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
This is at least the third time In
United States history that the
United States has been without a
Vice President and Secretary OF
State.
Daniel Webster figured in both OF
two previous cases.
Webster resigned May 8, 1843, as
Secretary of State under John
Tyler, who had become President
on the death of William Henry
Harrison. Abel P. Upshur received
an interim appointment to succeed
Webster June %, 1843, but his NOM
nation was not confirmed by the
Senate until January 2, 1874.
Webster again was Secretary of
State under President Willard Fill
more, who had succeeded on the
death of Zachary Taylor. Webster's
death, October "a, 1852, left the
cabinet position open for a second
time until November 6 of the same
year. when Edward Everett was ap-
pointed to the post.

Hospital Plan Critics
all 10 Offer Better
Idea, Tydings Says

A protest that critics of the Sen.
ate-passed bill authorizing Fedora
aid in the construction of a modern
hospital center for the District have
failed to offer a better plan came
yesterday from Senator Tydings
Democrat, of Maryland, co-authol
of the measure.
The bill now is before subcommit-
tees of the House District Commit.
tee which indicated Tuesday no &C.
ton would be taken until fall wher
new hospital survey of Washing.
ton is expected to be completed.
Budget Director Harold D. Smith
in statement to the House Dis.
trict Committee, had urged delay
until then, while submitting a serie.
of questions critical of the man.
agerial and financial plans for the
center as outlined in the Tydings.

1T would be well If those who de
not like the present bill would come
forward with a better bill, which

bill, without producing better OF

District at all.
In effect it is simply means O.

Funds for the project would BIZ

one-third Of the cost to be repaid
over period of so years, at 2 pei
cent interest. by participating non.
profit hospitals, who also would be
responsible for carrying mainten.
ance expenses.
Cites Arguments.
Senator Tydings protested that |.
it be proposed that the Federal OF
District governments build and CD.
crate needed new facilities, the
argument is raised that 1.-The Gov.
eminent is going into the hospita
business" or that the cost would be
high.
Or, if it be proposed that each
of the old hospitals be modernized
he added, I'VE are met with the
argument it would cost many times
as much to do such a job as to erect
a modern center"
And, he continued, the plan au.
thorized in the bill passed by the
Senate also is opposed "even though
the hospitals in question put uI
their endowments and property il
such an operation, contract to main.
tain such center without further
cost to the Federal Government
and prove that by a consolidation
the heating, plumbing, electricity
and staff expenses can be cut to a
minimum.
1t is reasonable to assume, HI
contended. that those who are "con.
tinually complaining" about tn.
outworn, inadequate and dilapi.
dated hospital facilities must de.
eide which one of the three propo.
Sitions they want.
