Woman Visits Hospital;
Learns Mother Had Died

Gallinger Hospital officials today
blamed a shortage of efficient en-
ployes for woman's complaint that
she visited the hospital only to find
her mother had died there two days
earlier.
Hospital records showed Mrs. An
ME Cushman, SO of 3519 T street
NV. died the evening of June 4, a
week after she was admitted. They
did not tell the story of how her
daughter, Mrs. Lee Mahoney of New
Hampshire. was shocked to find her
dead the afternoon of June 6.
DR.. L. j. Thomas, assistant super
intendent of the hospital, verified a
report that, after nearly 48 hours,
attendants had been unable to con-
tact either Mrs. Mahoney or her
brother, Howard Cushman, 10105
Lorraine street, Silver Spring.
He denied, however, Mrs. Ma
honey's complaint that her mothers
body was about to be cremated and
consigned to Potter's Field.
The mixup came about through
registration Of wrong address for
Mrs. Cushman and the failure of
night attendants to pass on to the
day employees an emergency address,
DR.. Thomas explained.

Taft Disputes Claim
World Bank Will Curb
Politics in Trade

Senator Taft. Republican. of Ohio
told the Senate Banking Committee
today that it would be contrary to
human nature to assume that the
Breton Woods world bank will
eliminate political motives from
handling OF international trade and
loans.
As the committee began a week of
hearings on the House-approved
world monetary agreement, the
Ohioan disputed the contention of
Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
thau that the agreement would en-
able smaller nations to have their
financial transactions considered on
economic rather than political
grounds.
Meanwhile. on the Senate floor,
debate began on the related issue
OF postwar trade agreements, with
the administration fighting to re-
store the additional tariff cutting
authority deemed essential to pro-
mote the export sale OF American
goods after the war.
Close Vote Is Expected.
A close vote is expected early next
week on restoration of the House
provision to allow the President to
cut tariff duties 50 per cent below
the present instead of the 1880 tariff

He drew a round Of applause from
nearly 100 teachers and other spec
tators packed into the hearing room
when he disagreed with the proposed
new basic scales and advocated con-
tinuation Of a $500 bonus for class
room teachers. plus 20-15-5 per
cent raise for all school teachers and
officers, In keeping with the formula
in the Federal pay bill. =,
Mr.. Lands protested that teachers
in the lower grades get but small in
creases In the proposed bill and that
very large increases are proposed for
supervisory and administrative posi-
tions.
His testimony confirmed reports
given to reporters earlier by Miss
Selma Borchardt, representing the
Teachers Union of the AFI,, that
a substitute proposal would be Of
fered.
Mr.. Lands and Miss Borchardt
contended there was insufficient
time to enact or to adjust the scales
In the pending bill before July
when the $500 wartime bonus will
expire.
Mr.. Lands, q Cleveland teacher,
said member Of the Senate shortly
would introduce stop gap" bill to
carry out his proposals until further
study could be given to q perma-
nent basic pay raise.
Miss Borchardt said she would
propose a resolution continuing the
present $500 bonus for all classroom
teachers and In addition, q graded
scale for all school employees, similar
to the formula In the pending Fed
eral workers pay bill. This calls
for pay increases of 20 per cent on
the first $1,000, plus 10 per cent for
that portion of salaries between
$1,000 and $4,000 plus S per cent
for that portion of any salaries
above $4,000.
Committee members did not indi-
cate at once what course they would
suggest, but all seemed agreed q
basic salary Of 81 400 q year for an
elementary teacher, who must have
four years of professional prepara-
ton, in addition to high school
training, verged on the ridiculous.

Among pending proposals are the

sation and full employment.
No business concern or private
organization would even attempt to
hire top-flight executives or advisers
at the level OF salaries which pres
entity prevails In the American Con-
gress.
Therefore, the salaries of mem
bers Of Congress should be increased
to level more in line with the job
they are called upon to do. It will
not be possible or wise to do this all
at once. The adjustment Of con-
gressional salaries at present should
be in the full amount consistent
with the Little Steel formula and
other stabilization criteria with
which the Government controls sal
aries and wages in private industry
When these wage and salary con-
trolls are lifted congressional salaries

Julian r. Caceres, Honduran Am
