For New BUILDING;
| Quarters Condemned

A building program of more
than $2,500, 900 for st. Eiizabeth's
Hospital was approved today by
the House Appropriations Com
mittee in reporting out the ST.
086,210,337 appropriation bill for
the Labor Department and Fed
eral Security Administration.

story, f1reproof building Of 5o0-bed
capacity TO replace group of tenn
porary structures which the COM
mittee described as "in very poor
condition, expensive to maintain and
dangerous to occupants"
The temporary units were built in
1918, and intended for only Is years
service. At present 300 aged and
lnflrm persons are housed in these
structures.
The new building was not re-
quested in the original budget esti-
mate, but committee members Wis
tied the hospital and, from their
own observation, directed the SUPER
intendent to obtain the necessary
estimates.
The remainder of the st. Eliza

mended by the budget.

| ing that the ratio of teachers to
students is too low. The commit
'tee, however, eliminated another
item of $4,000 the Budget Bureau
had recommended for grants to
needy students on the ground there
is no legislative authority for this
new provision.
| For Freedmen's Hospital the
committee approved the budget esti-
mate of s796,750 for salaries and
expenses.

Pvt. Polands release from the
Army came as a complete surprise
to his mother, who has not seen
her son in over three years. I'm
so glad-it has been such a long
time since I've seen him." Mrs. Po-
land said when a reporter from The
Star informed her that her son was
to be discharged.
Pvt. Poland's parents learned a
week ago that their son was in San
Francisco and probably would have
chance to get home. But they
had not been informed that he was
at Fort Meade.
Pvt. Poland, who is unmarried,
entered the service with the Ma
tional Guard in 1910. He was sent
to the Pacific with the engineers
more than three years ago and has
participated in five or six" engage
ments in the Pacific, his mother
said. His last fighting was in the
Philippines. Born in the District, he
attended schools here. A brother
Pvt. Benjamin Poland, is serving in
Germany.

A native Washingtonian, Sergt
Beckwith attended Armstrong High
School. He worked in New York
where he was a member of the Ma
tiona1 Guard, his sister said. He
went into the Army in September
1910.
Sergt. Weber, who was a store
keeper in the electrical department
of the District government before
he entered the service, had a pre-
vious opportunity to get out of the
Army, but turned it down, his for
mer supervisor, l.. A. Barber, said

Mr.. Barber, whe has heard fire.
quently from Sergt. Weber, said the
sergeant had written him he could
have gotten out when men over SO
were being released, but turned it
down because he liked the service.
Sergt. Weber went to work for
the District in April, 1899, and en-
tered the service with the National
Guard in February, 1941. He served
in the Middle East with a Quarter
master Corps truck company.
The men who preceded these SOL
diers out of the service from Fort

"HE Japs marched III of the senior and

April >, 1913. and put us in ancient coaches
with wooden seats. The narrOW-ga gauge
train crawled out Of the station at $50 a. m.
but by o'clock had gone only so miles. We
carried along our lunch of cup Of rice and
ate on the train.
We were put off at a Jap military cam
near the village of Tamazato, which lie
south of Karenko. The military establish
ment was in a rather beautiful piece lane
at the foot of a steep and verdant noun
tain. There was a stream running alongth
camp.
We carried our gear TO the One-stOr.
barracks in reservation similar to the one
at Karenko, then were ordered to marcf
back TO the train and unload car of tables
chairs, benches and other furniture for the
barracks. This was piled on our backs and
we carried it to the camp. Some of the goats
we were raising at Karenko also were led
to the new camp.
The beatings stopped now, giving us
all a chance to lick our wounds. But the
food remained the same: rice and hot water
with a few vegetable tops for every meal
