81 a DaHPsr P Patient
Urged for Hospitals
Caring for INDECENT

Hospitals should be paid mot less
than 81 per day" for care of poor
patients, In contrast to the present
scale Of S. now in effect, Willard G.
Smith, administrator Of the Health
Security Administration, today rec
commended to the Executive Com
mittee Of HSA.
This new rate should apply to two
different categories of patients, Mr..
Smith said, describing them as those
whose hospital bills would be paid
by State ard county authorities in
Virginia, and others whose expenses
are met through the new Commu-
nifty Chest Federation hospitaliza-
tion fund.
The recommendation was made
by Mr.. Smith as the HSA Executive
Committee met in the first OF q Sc
ries OF sessions to work out Its poll
cies in ling with recent recom-
dationssof the health and hos
pital survey
Defended by Council.
Health Security Administration, q
private agency which operates a
hospital admissions bureau for the
poor. has been sharply criticized as
q "misdt" by outside surveyors for
the Metropolitan Health Council,
but. defended by the council itself as
an agency which could have a useful
place in the community If its setup
were revised.
Mr.. Smith recommended that
HSA Immediately request the Hos
pital Council Of the National Cap-
itsi area to join with HSA In estab-
fishing a committee to study the
most effective way Of co-ordinating
the activities of central admitting
and hospital admitting; that admit
ting procedures shall be as simple
as possible, consistent with good
practice"
He also proposed that HSA i'm
mediately invite the Chest Fedora
tion and the Hospital Council to
join with HSA In q joint committee
to act on the recommendation
made by the Health Council. At
tention would be given first, he
proposed, to the negotiation Of an
HSA : Chest Federation Hospital
agreement to be effective beginning
January /.
Another Meeting Tomorrow.
The question Of the higher rate
OF mot less than 81 a day, from
Chest funds probably viii be dis
cussed at another meeting of HSA
officials tomorrow with subcom-
mittee of the Budget Committee of
the Federation of Community
Chests. The Chest rate for poor
patients now Is IS day.
Many hospitals have complained
that the rate paid out Of Chest hos
pitalization funds through HSA for
care OF the poor was not Sufficient

Bates Pledges Survey
OF Fiscal Relations if
Named DC. Chairman
By Don S. Worren

A thorough examination Of "the
whole question" Of how much the
United States should pay toward
National Capital costs is promised
II Representative Bates. Republican,
OF Massachusetts,, becomes the new
chairman Of the House District
Committee.
He said today he regards as fun
damental such survey Of the Dis
trict governments big tax and
budget problems, that will be thrown
into the lap of the new Congress
early next year.
Mr.. Bates, second-ranking mem
Der Of the District Committee, was
much more positive about the need
of such q fiscal review than he was
Of his prospects Of being placed In
charge Of District legislation.
Dirksen Qualifies Acceptance.
First Of all, he bowed to Repre-
sentative Dirksen Of Illinois, the
only Republican who outranks him
on the committee. MIR. Dirksen told
The Star last week he was willing
TO take the post II the House leaders
would permit him to continue, with
cut any restrictions, his position
high up In the Appropriations COM
mittee-his first choice.
Should this sanction not be forth
coming THE House Republican big
wigs viii have to decide-the Dis
trict post then would fall to Mr..
Bates, who has a background Of 80
years study Of municipal govern
ment and finance. ~.
But even If this happens, M,
Batee said today, 1t still wouldssnof
be definite he would head the DIt
trict Committee. He Is second rank
ing man on the Naval Affairs Com
mittee and stressed this was his
first choice. He said he would be
willing to take the District post
only IL he was assured by the
House leadership this would in no
wise jeopardize his standing on the
naval group.
To Fight Committee Merger.
He said this would have to be
decided by the Republican Conn
mittee on Committees.
In this connection Mr.. Bates an
nounced he planned a determined
light to prevent merger Of the
House Military and Naval Affairs
Committees, as provided by the
congressional reorganization plan.
He took the positive position al
merged Naval and Military Az
fairs Committee would be ''over-
whelmed" with responsibilities and
that there was enough work to oc-
cupy time Of two separate commit
tees. He secuted arguments the
committee merger was needed toI
prevent fund contests between the
Army and Navy.
Going back to the Districts
finances, he said local revenue needs
were great" On top Of normal
postwar backlog of demands he saw
large new needs for bringing high
way and trafiic programs up to
service requirements.
Would View whole Picture.r
The question Of whether the Fed
eral payment is adequate, he said,
should be viewed In the light OF
the whole picture of what services
are rendered to the United States
by the municipality. He said this
list should include highways, sew
ers. free water and police and firel
protection, among others.
He said the amount Of tax-free
land owned by the United States
was consideration, but that It'll
should not be given to much weight.
Many other cities. he said, would be
glad for chance to forgo taxa
ton Of land used by the United
States in return for q large Fed
eral employment payroll.

Major Berth Seen for Robinson, Negro Star

cult in batting for a number of
weeks and now Is runner-up with
.367.
A deficiency overcome by the
flashy Negro is the art of pivot
ing on the double play. Robin
son practiced the maneuver con-
stantly with Shortstop AL Cam
panis during the early stages of
the season and today the COM
bination is one of the best in
the loop in executing twin kill
ings.
The fleetness of foot of the
lanky 190-pound star is what i'm
mediately catches the eye of the
ivory hunters Many of his hits
are of the infield variety and
once he reaches base he's a con-
slant source of annoyance to op-
posing hurlers.
Recently Robinson injured an
ankle that was broken eight
years ago while playing football
and II anything retards his ad-
vancement 1t will probably be
his weak ankle.
