be divided 80 per cent from the
District and 10 per cent from the
Federal Government.
A site for the center has not yet
been officially selected. The one
most generally mentioned, Garfield
Hospital, has been considered by
some experts as too small for the
center. The act does not specify
how big the new institution would
be, but general discussion has
pointed to hospital of 1.500 beds.
This amount of new hospital bed
capacity, however. will not meet
the need for hospital beds in the
District, according to FWA, which
made a careful survey of its own,
and also according to the recent
Metropolitan Health and Hospital
survey.
A provision in the bill as it came
from the House District Committee
to grant Federal aid to other hos
pitfalls outside the center was strick-
en- after a fight on the House floor.
The act now carries authorization
for an appropriation of S35 ,000, 900,
the figure originally fixed by the
House District Committee to take
care of both the center and other
hospitals in need of renovation,
modernization and rebuilding. It
was emphasized in committee hear
ings, however, that the actual money
needed for the construction of the
center will have to be appropriated
by Congress. Rough estimates of
the cost of the center itself run
from $15,000,0O0 to s20,000,0O0.
When the new center is built, the
act provides it shall be conveyed to
a private agency. But the setup
of this agency is left for future de-
termination.

said: There was no fighting. There
were only black looks and curses" "
Another Elizabete officer said the
British ensign aboard the Farmer
was handed back to him carefully
after 1t was replaced by the Ameri-
can flag.
The captains son and first mate,
Jan Millers, told reporters he was
in charge of the prize crew which
the Elizabete put aboard the drift
ing Farmer. He said a boat came
up from the American Ranger, "as
We were getting the hawsers on" to
tow the crippled Farmer.
Il shouted, You are not allowed
to come aboard" the younger
Millers said. THE American re-
piled, Don't you want any help?
and I said no. BY this time, some
of the Americans had scrambled on
board and we could not stop them
"They went down in the engine
room and started the engines. Some
Of the Americans got down our
flag and it was handed back to
me by the chief officer who said,
Here is your flag. Now get into
your boat and go to your ship"
Aboard the American Farmer, the
Ranger crew found gray and
white kitten which they promptly
named Never Sink One seaman
said the crew considered the cat
a good omen and that the Farmer
would float as long as 1t was aboard.
We're sure claiming 1t as a
prize, anyway" he said.

Cab Driver Badly Hurt
When Taxi CoIIides
With D. {. Sprinkler

Albian l.. Morris, 54, cab driver
of 645 H street NE, was injured
seriously early today when his taxi
collided with a District Refuse De-
partment water flushing truck,
careened off and struck a tree in
the 1700 block West Virginia ave-
nue. NE.
Mr.. Morris was admitted to Cas-
ualty Hospital with a chest injury.
Police said the cab was being oper-
ated on the wrong side OF the
street, which was being watered at
the time of the accident. The
driver of the truck was Roger E.
Lugenbeek, 1898 East Capitol street,
according to police.
In an accident last night, Robert
Sims, 9, of 1917 B street Sc, suf-
fered fractured right leg when
police said, he walked into the side
of moving taxicab at Massachu-
sets avenue and North Capitol
street.

Police declared the accident oc-
CURED while the boy. who had Just
alighted from a streetcar. was

traffic light.
He is in undetermined condition
in Casualty Hospital today. Driver
of the taxicab was named by police
as John L. Sullivan, 80, of 1121I
Twenty second street NV.
Steps Into Cars Path.
A 5-year-old boy was injured
shortly before noon today when he
stepped into the path of an auto
mobile near his home in the 1900
block Of Bryant street NE. The boy,
Allan Smith, was taken to Casualty
Hospital where it was said he had
suffered injuries to leg and to the
head
Police listed the driver of the auto
mobile as Lawrence Kenyon, 30, of

King Asks Renewal Tests.
A need for re-examination of a
District driving license holder when
ever he applies for renewal of his
permit was cited, meanwhile, by As
sistant Corporation Counsel Clark
King, who handles most of the traffic
cases at Municipal Court.
Mr.. King hit another weakness in
District regulations, one which per-
nlits motorists to operate here legally
without knowledge of city traffic
laws.
"One situation which needs
changing" Mr.. King declared, lis
our system of reissuing a drivers
permit every three years without
a test. AS it now stands, once a
man passes test, he just sends
in his money every three years and
his license is renewed automatic
ally" He pointed out that during
a three-year period man might
easily become an unsafe driver.
THE other point" he continued,
lis that the District honors drivers
licenses from other jurisdictions. If
a man comes from another State
and has permit, he is automatic
ally issued one for the District. And
some Jurisdictions have practically
no driving requirements.
Thus, we have drivers in the city
who have never studied District
traffic laws and who may hold a
license they could not obtain If
they had to pass even our present
fairly simple test"
Would Be Held to Stands.
A District Building source said the
taxi cruising ban, as proposed, would
restrict hackers to stands assigned
them on downtown streets. 1t was
recalled that a taxicab came to a
stop to pick up fare at the busy
intersection of Fourteenth street and
New York avenue NV. Tuesday
morning just before Cecil Patter-
sons heavy automobile struck sec
ond cab and plowed into a crowd of
pedestrians on the corner.
A Public Utilities Commission off,
cial said it has been suggested that
taxicabs be permitted to discharge
and take on passengers only in front
OF fire plugs, spaces which are not
occupied by parked cars.
A drive to weed out incompetent
drivers" as result of the Districts
recent high casualty list, also got un-
der way, meanwhile, with announce
ment by Mr.. Keneipp in radio ad-
dress that he has ordered more rigid
tests for license applicants under u.

Ship Down by Bow.
Seas washed through the hole in
the bow of the Farmer as she
lurched into safe waters against
a strong southwesterly wind. She
was down by the bow but the Stars
and Stripes f1uttered from her stern.
At the davits hung a single life
boat bearing the name of the Amer
ican Ranger. The other davits were
empty. Several civilian planes cir
cled overhead as the vessel entered
the harbor in a rain squall and
was guided by the tugs through a
narrow channel between a sub
merged wreck and beacon.
On her bridge was Capt. Taffy
Jones, skipper of the rescue tug
Salvonia, which, with the tug En-
pire Mary, accompanied the vessel
from the scene of the collision.
The British Ministry of Transport,
which operates the Elizabete, has
filed a salvage claim against the
Farmer. which with her food cargo
has been estimated as worth $4,-
5000.
The Farmers crew of so and 5
passengers were taken aboard the
Benjamin Goodhue, bound for New
York, when they abandoned the
Farmer.

Capt. Millers said at Barry he was

was "a question of time"

that cargo in the two forward holds

Mr.. SABBATH declared the Slaugh-

cause he is following those policies.
Slaughter was not in accord
with the policy and principles of

Representative Miller, Democrat,

Roosevelt and
Moses
by SAMUEL STEIN
Daytona Beach, Florida

The similarity of Roosevelt and
Moses is beyond question. What
happened to Moses happened to
Roosevelt. Their lives and death
and suffering are the same. When
Moses led his people, the Israel
ties, out of slavery from Egypt,
he wandered forty years in the
desert, and at Mount Sinai Mos
es gave the the ten command
ments which includes Thou Shalt
Not Kill He also met many ma
tions such as Amalck and Balck
and conquered them. He defeated
Sihon and Og, and many other
nations who were not friendly
to the Israelites. When he had a
clear path to the promised land
God told him to go on top of
the mountain Nebo, that is over
against Jericho, where he died.
Now such as this happened to

our great leader, Roosevelt. After
creating the Atlantic Charter,
which also includes Thou Shalt
Not Kill', after his conference in
Cairo, which took part of his
life, then another conference in
Casablanca which took another
part of his life, then going to
Theran which shortened his life
considerably, and the last meet
ing at Yalta which left in Roose-
welt only his spirit, for his body
was all gone. But he saw that
victory was very near because
the American Army had already
entered Germany and seeing that
all enemies of mankind were de-
feated he died on us, like God had
told Moses you shall not enjoy
the victory that you hoped for.
The Bible tells us that Moses
was modest; so was Roosevelt.
He never gave himself credit for
all the victories the Allies had,
although everything was done on
his plans.
Oh God, what a similarity!

CONGRESS AND HOUSING

|THE MEMBERS of the Seventy-n1nth Congress
of the United States are on the way home. Far
be it from us to begrudge them the pleasures OF
returning to their constituencies or the chores of
political fence-mending. They'll need strength for
both.
This years Congressional performance, though
occasionally interspersed by laudable flashes OF
independence from an overbearing executive
branch, was on the whole disappointing. Among
the shortcomings of the national legislature none
is in our opinion more glaring and harmful than
the failure to act favorably on the Wagner
Ellender-Taft housing bill. Responsibility for that
failure belongs entirely to the House. and the peo
pie will be well advised to keep the score right in
the November elections
To say that the housing bill ranks foremost
among the nations urgent necessities and that
the postwar economic and social readjustment OF
the American people depends upon soundly con-
ceived and executed housing program is to state
the obvious. Here is bold bipartisan measure
that aims, over 10-year period, to rehouse one
third of our present population in modern and
sanitary dwellings,; that eliminates Slums and
gives much needed incentive to long grange plan
ming and construction; that helps to lift the Amer
lean people to new and higher standards of lv-
ing; and that wisely recognizing the pitfalls of
public financing and housing, sets forth that 'prl
vate enterprise shall be encouraged to serve as
large part of the total need as it can
The Wagner -Ellender-Taft b passed by the
Senate has been pigeonholed in the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee 1t is likely to gather
dust there until next spring. if not longer In the
meantime, our national, state and local housing
affairs are getting from bad to worse; bitterness
among the people, especially the veterans, is
growing by leaps and bounds.
Apparently, it was too much to expect of the
House to understand the urgency of the problem.
We trust the voters will keep this fact in mind
when the present incumbents plead with them to-
return their "tried and trusted friends" to Wash
ington. Congressman who are of the belief that
housing wait ought to be given an oppor
tunity to lay the burden of office aside. Their
places ought to go to those who sympathize with
the needs and longings of our citizens for decent
housing and who are willing to act upon it without
delay.
