AS Real Aid 10 Truman
His Departure Expected
To End Southern Control,
Speed Porty's Program
By the Associated Pres,

Key members, Republican ano
Democratic, of the potent House
Rules Committee agreed today
that the defeat of Represent
ative Slaughter, Democrat, OF
Missouri is an important feather
in the administrations cap.
Representative Michener of Mich
igan, who also is acting Republican
leader, told reporter that should
the Democrats retain control of the
next Congress, the Missourian's re-
placement would help the rules
group function in the way it i,
intended"
That, Mr. Michener added. is tc
send to the House floor the legisla
tive program of the party in power
Southerners Won't Control.
1t was Mr.. Slaughter's opposition
within the committee to many ad-
ministration measures that lee
President Truman to call publicly
for his defeat in Tuesdays 5th dis
tiict primary in Missouri.
Chairman SABBATH commented that
with Mr. Slaughter's departure the
Southerners on the Rules Commit
tee no longer will control it."
The committee has II members
only four of them Republicans. But
of the eight Democrats only two are
administration stalwarts-Mr. Sa :
bath and Representative Delany OF
New York. Because tie vote blocks
action on any measure under con-
sideration, Mr.. Slaughter and his
five Southern colleagues have been
able TO make their views prevail
Mr.. SABBATH said the balance will
be swung still further away from the
Southern group if Representative
Smith, Democrat. of Virginia, resigns
to run for the unexpired portion OF
the Senate term of the late Carter
Glass. Mr.. Smith, who won renom-
ination Tuesday, has said he would
be receptive to the nomination if
his name is presented to the Demo-

Hospital Center Bill
Signed by President;
Early Action Sought
OffieioIs Expected
To Present Details
At Conference Soon
By Harold B. Rooers
BY HoroId B. Rooers

President Truman has signed
the bill to establish a hospital
center here and opened the way
for early consideration of pre-
liminary steps to implement the
projects, the White House said
today.
No Federal funds are available
yet. These must be appropriated by
Congress before the Federal Works
Agency can proceed as authorized
by the law to provide hospital of
such size and design as (the FWA
administrator shall deem FEAST
BILE and economical of operation. "
Pending appropriation, however,
leaders of the three hospitals al
ready committed to the new CEN
ter-emergency. Garfield and Epis-
copal-feel that, with the authori-
zation act already on the statute
books, they can proceed with the
preliminary steps.
Early Meeting in Prospect.
Discussions have been held among
these officials of the three non
profit institutions, and it is likely
that a meeting will be held to go
over the whole matter as soon as
possible
William R. Castle, president of
Garfield Hospital, who also is pres
ident Of the neWly-formed Hospital
Council of the National Capital
Area, is out OF the city. But he was
represented by those who have
talked with him as feeling strongly
that some preliminary work could
be done now.
James G. Capossela. superinten-
dent of Emergency Hospital, said
he hoped that the hospitals them
selves could take action soon.
This is a big venture" he said,
expressing qualification that efforts
OF hospitals to improve their facili-
ties here had resulted in the new
legislation. I'VE should get busy
on early arrangements to get pre-
liminary understanding among the
three institutions as to the setup
OF the new private agency which
will operate the big center"
To Take Up Corporation.
Mr.. Capossela said he had been
in conference with George A. Gar
rett, president of Emergency Hospi-
tai, who feels organization of the
corporation to handle the center
probably might be one of the first
subjects for consideration.
A spokesman for Episcopal Hos.
pital said that some kind of meet
ing between officials of the three
participating institutions definite
ly was possibility soon.
The act provides that FWA con-
struct the center and that 1t shall
be financed jointly by the nonprofit
participating, the District
government and Federal grant.
The hospitals would contribute their
entire physical facilities toward the
cost of the new center. These
would be turned over to FWA as
they stand or would be sold and the
proceeds turned over to FWA.
The remainder OF the cost would
