Bogus Gas, Sugar
Coupons Hold Man
For Grand Jury Actor

Charged with possession of coun-
terfeit ration coupons for almost
1000 gallons of gas and about II
tons of sugar, Charles A. Dunham
of 1915 o street NV. is being held
under $1,000 bond for grand jury
action. Arraigned yesterday before
Municipal Court Judge Walter
Casey, he pleaded not guilty.
Durham was arrested Wednes-
day during meeting in an auto
mobile with a former filling station
operator who was cooperating with
OPA agents, according to testimony
by Government witnesses.
OPA investigator Charles E. Can
non told the court that arrestine
officers took counterfeit coupons for
492 gallons of gas from the defend
ant and found an additional 48C
gallons worth and some money or
the seat of the car. Later counter
felt coupons for about 10 tons OF
sugar were found in an umbrella in
Dunham's room, Mr.. Cannon said.
Oby Burks, 33, colored, who was
with Dunham when the latter was
arrested, testified he arranged the
meeting to buy 1000 gallons worth
of gas coupons from Dunham at the
request of OPA agents. He said he
was preparing to count out the 500
he expected to pay when the OPA
agents appeared.
Burks, who also testified his fill
ing station at 1904 Benning road
NE, was closed about two weeks
ago because he was transferring
counterfeit coupons to his gas deal
er and the "OPA found it out" said
he had bought about 10000 gallons'
worth of gas coupons from the de-
fendant in the past five months.

Senate 10 Act
On Hospital Bill.
Serious Need of
New, More Facilities
: Stressed in PIeu 7

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 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
nonproflt 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 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.
i 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
i antiquated, nonflreproof 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 it 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
one-half.
: Short One Half.
Thus we have in the present
hospitals about 21z beds per 1000
of population. Health standards
require that we have beds per
1000 persons. We have a bed
shortage of 2,100 at the present
time and of the beds already avail
able about 1000 are the result of
overcrowding.
j 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"
