StreomIinin Bill
FocesCorrection
OnLobbyists

An error in the new Congressional
Reorganization Act. apparently due
to a typographical mistake made
during the closing days Of the
Seventy-ninth Congress, has been
discovered in the section relating to
lobbyists.
The error added an "ed" to the
word render, but in the opinion
Of the Senate legislative counsel the
mistake would not enable any lobby
lists to escape their responsibility for
acknowledging contributions, as re-
quired by the act. However, Con-
gress probably will have to correct
the error by another act in the next
Congress, it was said.
AS signed by the President. the
official enrolded bill in Section 304
reads as follows:
Every individual who receives a
contribution of $500 or more for any
of the purposes hereinafter desig-
mated shall within five days after
receipt thereof rendered to the per-
son or organization for which such
contribution was received detailed
account thereof, including the name

Truman's S Smithsonian Text

Here. too, the steady progress made
during the past 100 years has like
wise contributed greatly to mans
welfare, through a better knowledge
and hence a fuller control of his en-
vironment and understanding with
out which our present high hopes
and plans for united and peaceful
world would have an ever more diff
cult road to travel
For a full century the Smithson-
ian Institution has been a world
center for the promotion of science,
art, and other cultural activities.
Congratulations are in order upon
the Smithsonfan'S record in the ad-
vancement of science and culture
during a most important century in
the history of mankind, but this
should be not merely time for
counting laurels. Rather it should
be a time for further consideration
OF the ideals of the founder, James
Smithson, and renewal of the in
stitutlon's zeal in the increase of
the sum total of mans knowledge.
The Smithsonian should continue
to strive toward the end that man
should not only know better his
earthly abode, but should acquire
the means of knowing himself bet
ter. Such studies are of vital sig
nificance in our present efforts to
build better world order, and to
break the cycle of recurring wars
of ever-increasing destructiveness.
On this Tooth anniversary of the
founding of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, may we accord all honor to
the founder, James Smithson, for
his lofty and farseeing ideals. May
the next 100 years bring even more
glory to the name of the institution
and to that of its founder.

Chatham Tenants Ask
Rent Rise Review

Tenants of the Chatham Apart
ments, 1907 Columbia road NV,
have filed a petition with the Dis
trict Rent Control Administration
asking that a recommendation for
rent increases totaling $5,718 a year
be reviewed by Robert F. Cogswell,
rent control administrator
The recommendation was made
August 2 by Examiner Ernest F.
Williams after hearings,
The rent raise, recommended to
apply to 76 of 80 apartments, aver
aged $3.50 monthly an apartment
and amounts to per cent over
previous rentals. The landlord
sought raises totaling $12.756 yearly.
Norman E. Sill, attorney for sew
eral tenants, contended in the petit
ton that the recommended In
creases violate the intent and pur-
poses" of the District Rent Control
Act, and that Bliss Properties, the
owner, would be allowed an undue
rent increase"
Under the rent control law, petit
tions for review may be filed, and
subsequently, the rent control ad-
ministrator's decision is subject to
Municipal review on petition to that
court.
Petitions for review by the admin
istrator require him to affirm the
examiners findings, or to issue find
ings of his own.
The Chatham tenants petition
contends that the examiner recon-
mended a rent increase despite the
fact" that the landloard has, since
January /, 1941, realized additional
income from the Chatham through
rental of space in the basement" for
commercial use.

DR.. Mark Graubard. United States

told the All youths yesterday that
radioactive PHOSPHORUS is to be
mixed with the cows diet to improve

The radioactive PHOSPHORUS
tracers. byproduct in the making of
atomic bombs. have been made
available to the experiment farm
by the Army's Manhattan Project.
To Study Cows Functions.
The tracers will take the same
course through cows organs and

in their feed.
This course will be plotted by
checking radioactive particles.
So, DR.. Graubard explained, 1t
may be possible to learn more
exactly how a cow produces milk
and butterfat.
Further, the scientist said, better
strains may be produced by mating
animals which assimilate milk pro-
ducing factors the easiest.

Doctors Asked 10 Aid
Cancer Control by
Reporting New Cases

The medical profession has been
asked by DR.. George C. Ruhland,
District health officer, to begin
voluntary reporting of cases OF
cancer.
In letters to the District Medical
Society and the Medico- Chirurgical
Society. the health officer has pre-
sented his request officially. Action
may be taken by the societies short
ly, but there was no definite indica-
ton what their answers would be.
DR.. Rutland indicated he hopes
to increase the Capitals cancer
control program by use of newly
available Federal funds to set up a
cancer clinic at Gallinger Hospital
where statistical information may
be analyzed.
If reports can be obtained from
the medical profession, DR.. Rutland
said he expects to get statistical
specialist to handle the reports at
Gallinger Hospital
Theodore Wiprud, secretary of
the Medical Society said today he
will take up DR.. Ruhlands request
with the society's cancer control
committee as soon as DR.. Roger
Choisser, committee chairman, re-
turns to the city. Several questions
are to be considered, he indicated,
especially the matter of making
public record of every one who has
the disease He said it is impor-
tant to protect the identity of the
patient. but that this might be ac-
complished in some manner.
The Medical Society already has
been active in the study of the can
Ger problem, Mr.. Wiprud said. as
indicated by its committee on can
Ger control.
DR.. Rutland in his letter said the
District had received $11,888 from
Federal funds made available
through the Public Health Service
for cancer control here.
Reporting of malignant tumors
has been a requirement in the
State of New York since 1889" he
wrote. The practice apparently is
proving helpful in developing sta
tistics useful to a better under
standing of the malignant tumor
problem" ~~se-~,
He asked the medical societies
for IAN expression with regard to
the importance of the develop
ment of cancer control program,
and secondly the importance of
making the reporting of malignant
tumors by the medical profession
to the Department of Health, an

Need Of Nurses Seen
With New Hospital

A serious nurse shortage exists
here and will become more acute as
new hospital facilities are placed in
operation unless many more young
women enroll for training courses
beginning next month, according to
Mrs. Elizabeth Coleman, chairman
OF the Committee on Student Nurse
Recruitment of the Graduate Nurses
Association.
The Capital should have 300 more
graduate nurses than now are active
here. Mrs. Coleman said, and needs
$50 additional students for the new
training year She pointed out that
only 106 women had signed up for
instruction, whereas the local quota
Is 354 student nurses.
The current desperate need" for
nurses is accented by the prospect
OF completion of the Georgetown
and George Washington University
Hospitals, congressional authorize
tion OF a new hospital center and
plans for the Veterans Administra-
ton for construction of a new hos
pital here, Mrs. Coleman explained.
Nursing careers should be attrac-
tive to women who had wartime
service in medical branches of the
armed service and to those high
school graduates who find colleges
of their choice unable to accommo-
date them because of large enroll
ments of veterans, she said.
Those desiring to become student
nurses must be in good health, have
high school diplomas and be be-
tween l8 and IS years of age. They
should apply to any Washington
hospital having school of nursing

The teTt OF statement bu
President Truman on the Tooth
anniversary OF the Smithsonian
Institution foIloWs.
On August TO- 1916, James K. Polk,
18th President of the United States,
put his signature on the act of
Congress establishing the Smith
sonian Institution. Today, August
10, 1916, We celebrate the Tooth
anniversary of this venerable organ
ization that is an American tradi-
ton.
AS presiding officer of the institu-
ton, it is fitting that 1, as President
of the United States, should publicly
take cognizance of this occasion.
When James Smithson, an English
chemist and mineralogist, died in
1929, it was found that he had left
his fortune to the United States
to found at Washington, under the
name of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, an establishment for the in
crease and diffusion of knowledge
among men. When Congress was
notified of the unusual bequest,
there arose storm of debate, at
times highly acrimonious, as to what
to do with the gift. But finally,
after some eight years of discussion,
sane counsel prevailed, the bequest
was accepted and the Smithsonian
Institution was formally established
under broad definition of its proper
/ functions.
! The Act of Foundation provides
| that the Smithsonian esta blishment
shall consist of the President, the
Vice President and the Chief Justice
of the United States, together with
the heads of the executive depart
ments. The managing body of the
| institution is the Board of Regents
composed of the Vice President OF
the United States and the Chief
Justice of the United States, eX-
offcio, three Senators, three Repre-
sentativesf and six eminent citizens
appointed by joint resolution of Con-
gress.
The executive officer directly in
charge Of the institutions activities
is the secretary, chosen by the
board There have been six eminent
secretaries: Joseph Henry, physicist;
Spencer Fullerton, biologist; Sam
uel Pierpoint Langley. astronomer
and pioneer in aeronautics; Charles
Doolittle Walcott. geologist and
paleontologist; Charles Greeley Alb
bot, astrophysicist. and the present
secretary, Alexander Wetmore, BIZ
ologist.
1t is hardly necessary to state
that this is the age of science
newspaper headlines remind us o1
this every day. Atomic power, JET
propulsion, television, transmutatior
Iof elements, metals from seawater
penicillin-all these and many more
Ipresent-day marvels trace back in

cation.
