Jeweler Samuel Frank today was
checking inventory lists to fix the
value of rings taken by an armed
bandit in a bold daylight holdup
of his store at 1104 Fourteenth street
NV. yesterday. His preliminary
estimate to police was about 50 800
including value of the ring he was
wearing
Mr.. Franks, "a, told police he was
playing gin rummy with his brother
in-law, Louis Simmons, 6501 Four
teenth street NV, shortly after

row-faced man, about 80 years old
entered the store, produced a pistol
from the pocket of his overcoat and
said:
This is holdup. Get in the
back"
The man wore a tan snap-brim
hat, square eyeglasses and highly
polished strapped shoes, according
to Mr.. Franks. The man ordered
the jeweler to the show window and
pointed out his choice of loot-five
diamond rings.
A woman customer entered the
shop at this point, and the holduE
man directed her to stand in the
rear. Mr.. Franks tapped on the
show window pane as he picked the
rings from the racks and attracted
the attention of soldier. When the
serviceman entered, he was ordered
by the bandit to join the lineup.

Supply of Doctors to Determine
VA Hospital Sites, HowIey Says

The importance of securing the
best specialized medical care for vet
Grams makes it advisable to locate
veterans hospitals in large cities close
to progressive medical .centers even
at the expense of climate and scenery,
Maj. Gen. Paul r. Hawley, surgeon
general of the Veterans Admins
tration, said last night at the George
Washington's Birthday banquet of
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars at the
George Mason Hotel, Alexandria.
Gen. Hawley told the veterans,
members of the ladies auxiliary,
representatives of Congress and the
armed forces, that it will be neces-
sary to use part-time services of doc
tors to care for the 10000 veterans
who are entitled to medical care in
order to secure the best skill modern
medicine has to offer.
Citing the fact that 8 per cent
Of the wounded veterans died after
the last war, while only 3.9 per
cent have been fatalities in this
war, Gen. Hawley said it will be
impossible to carry on the Veterans
Administration medical program
with only full-time doctors, and
that the best specialists can be Sc
cured on a part time basis only if
the veterans hospitals are located
near large medical centers where
the specialists will not be forced to
lose time in travelling to reach them
Insists on Capable Doctors.
Discussing the possibility that
many Of the veterans will eventu-
ally need surgery of all types he
said, II don't want ordinary hams
prowling around with them"
The need for graduate training in
veterans hospitals was also cited by
Gen. Hawley, who said that certi.
fed doctors must be on the staff ir
order for the hospital to be ap.
proved as a training center, ano
this will only be possible if the hos.
! pitfalls are located in large cite.
near medical centers.
i Praising the VF'W for its Co
] operation with the Veterans Ad
ministration, he said that they poin
out things which need correction
"but don't tell us how to correc
them or who to appoint to do It,"
Recent blasts against the Vet,
erans' Administration have caused {
drop in the recruitment OF doctor,
/ for the program, Gen. Hawley said
/ as doctors are suspicious and dont
j want to be mixed up in politica'
/ controversies. .

tive Mcmillan, chairman of the
House District Committee, both the
mothers and the Commissioners will
appear as witnesses at 10 am. Mon

original argument that they should
not commit the District to the

centers on a tax-supported basis.
The mothers promised to bring
proof to the hearing that mother.
