Four-Power Discussions
Prejudiced, Paper Says

BERLIN, July % LPy.-The Rus
sian-licensed Berliner Zeitung ac-
cused France today of preiudicing
four-power discussions of Germany
and preparing to annex the Saar'
through the incorporation of 79
Rhineland districts into Saar terri
tory.
The newspaper, which often speaks
for German nationalistic elements
appearing to have Soviet support,
stated:
There is no doubt that, from the
French side, this expansion of the
Saar is planned as preparation for
Anschluss (union) of the Saar with
France.
The Zeitung maintained that
France, by thus touching Rhineland
territory, was taking unilateral &C
ton which had not been approved
by the Foreign Ministers Council at
Paris and thereby was ''prejudicing
the problem of German unity"
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov
has emphatically characterized any
separation of Rhine and Ruhr terri
tories as destructive" it said.
The new boundaries of the Saar
are the Mosel river on the north
and the Ruwer river on the east

occupation commander, had Or
dered the transfer of II rura,
communes from the Rhinelano

(The French have demanded
repeatedly that the Saar be an

military government officials in
Coblenz said the territory in
volved consisted of 79 Rhineland
districts totaling about 600 square
miles. This would be nearly dou-
bling the extent of the Saar.)
The transfer is intended ito adapt
the administrative organization OF
the Saar to economic reality" the
commissariat' communique said.
The communes attached will en-
ter, in effect, in the economic orbit
of the Saar and a notable part OF
their inhabitants will work in the

Drive for Agreement
On Hospital Center
Bills Expected Today
Federal Aid to Other
institutions Killed in
Measure Possinq House
By Harold B. Rogers

A last minute drive was eX-
pected to develop today in an
effort to complete congressional
action before adjournment on
the bill for Federal aid to a hos
pital center.
Both the Senate and House have
passed the bill in different form
The House late yesterday, after a
long, spirited debate, adopted its
version by a vote of 162 to l06-a
surprisingly large majority in view
Of determined attacks by the op-
position.
AS passed by the House, the bill
provides for construction by the
Federal Works Agency of a l500-bed
modern hospital center, to which
three hospitals in the city-Emer-
gency, Garfield and Episcopal-are
already committed.
Aid to Others Killed.
The opposition, however, succeeded
in stripping from the bill any Fed
eral aid for other hospitals which
do not participate in the center.
While thus limiting the scope of
the projected hospital improvements
under this bill, the House neverthe-
less refused move to cut the
authorized Federal advance from
$35 100000 to $17500,0O0.
The bill now goes back to the
Senate, where determined efforts
will be made to straighten out the
financial tangle, and other differ
ences between House and Senate
bills.
Chairman Bilbo of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, a co-author of the
original bill with Senator Tydings
Democrat, of Maryland, announced
he would seek expeditions action by
the Senate on the House amended
bill.
Commenting on the elimination
of aid to hospitals outside the CEN
ter, Senator Bilbo said:
