His wife, Rhoda, was his high
school sweetheart in San Francisco.
They were married shortly before
he entered the Army nearly four
years ago and since that time
Rhoda followed him from camp to
camp, "the way thousands of other
GI wives did"
Last November while stationed at
Indiantown Gap, Pa, he and his
wife started out on a trip to New
York. They hadn't gone far when a
truck drove out of a filling station
and Sergt. Wenger couldn't apply
his breaks in time on the slippery
road to avoid a. crash.
Since then, Mrs. Wenger has not
regained full consciousness. Only
occasionally have. her eyes given
any awareness of movement around
her. Several times her glance has
turned briefly toward nurse
entering the room, but the blank
useeing expression always returns.
Didn't Recognize Him.
The Army permitted Sergt. Wen
ger to spend six weeks in the Allen
town Hospital, where he sat in a
wheel chair beside her bed much of
the time, with never sign of recog-
milton from the paralyzed victim
Then complications set in the frac-
tured right foot, and Sergt. Wen
ger was transferred to Walter Reed.
1t has been about five months since
he's seen his wife.
The baby, which was born about
one month prematurely is reported
doing fine despite her subnormal
weight of 4 pounds az ounces. He1
name is Karen Beth.
1t has also been a tough battle
financially for Sergt. Wenger, with
the hospital bills for his wife piling
up at rate of $50 a day. For a
time he met the bills from his say.
ings, then help came from his wife's
father, David Marblestone, operator
of a San Francisco calendar plant.
Sergt. Wenger was asked what
his plans were for the future.

Senate |ndorses Plan
Offered by Truman
To Save Office Space

Legislative backing for the Pres
ident's Office space control program
is contained in House bill passed
yesterday by the Senate and re-
turned to the House for action on
a number of amendments.
Both houses now have approved
a section of the stop-gap public
buildings program bill which directs
the Commissioner of the Public
Buildings to maintain a survey of
Governmental and leased Of
flee space in the District and other
Metropolitan areas.
Where he finds uneconomical use
of space in buildings operated OF
leased by the PBA, he is directed to
prescribe its economical use of its
surrender. In the case of space op-
Grated or leased by other agencies
than the PBA, he is directed to re-
port his findings to the responsible
official
The legislative move is in support
of a space control order issued April
3 by President Truman.
The bill also authorizes expendi-
lures up to $4,000, 900, out of building
project funds already appropriated
to acquire land for Federal building
sites in the District where private
improvements are impending which
would raise costs if land acquisition
was long delayed.
One 0f these is norton of the
site for the new Navy Department
Building that includes an area on
which the Heurich Brewery ha. 4.
planned a large addition.
The measure includes section
now approved by both Houses, rails
ing to $7,750,000 the limit of cost of
the site and construction of the
West Central Heating Plant to be
erected here.

Manager Says SeopIone Base
Will Ruin Water Gate Concerts

Summer symphony concerts at
the Water Gate will be ruined If
construction of a seaplane base on
the Potomac near Key Bridge is
authorized, j. P. Hayes. general
manager of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association, said last
night.
Mr.. Hayes disclosed that the SYM
phony Association has appealed for
a public hearing by the United
States Engineering Office on an ap-
plication for the use of the Potomac
between Memorial and Key bridges
for seaplane landing area.
Use of the water by seaplanes
would make it impossible for music
lovers to come to the concert in
canoes and other light craft, which
give a picturesque element to the
entire concert as we'll as pleasure
to those on the water, Mr.. Hayes
added.
1T has been bad enough having
transport planes and, during the
war, Army and Navy planes flying
over the area" he observed.
Imagine what would happen if we
had to compete with seaplanes
landing behind the barge"
Palmer G. Scarnecchia. who filed
the application, replied that his ap-
plication states specifically that it
would be only daytime operation
and emphasized that the concerts
are held on only twelve nights in
/ the year.
He said he hoped to have sea-
planes using the area between sun
rise and sunset. Asked if he would
agree not to use the area during
the concerts, Mr.. Scarnecchia said

Bishop PeeIe Says Church
Is Neutral Toward Labor

RICHMOND, Va, June lP-
Bishop w. w. Peele of the Virginia
and North Carolina Conferences of
the Methodist Church, said here
today that the Methodist Church
is neither antilabor nor antiman-
agement but is interested in the
welfare of both employees and en-
ployers. &tsG
The bishop explained that hi,
statement was issued because the
recent appointment of the Rev.
Charles c. Webber, Mthodist min
lister, as chaplain to organized la
Dor may have given rise to some
misimpressions as to the Methodist
Church's traditional stand in the
field of labor-management rela-
tions."
The official Qualification of the
Methodist viewpoint comes at a
time when criticism is mounting
within the church itself over the
appointment of Mr.. Webber to the
labor post by Bishop G. Bromley
Oman of the New York East
Methodist Conference. Mr.. Webber
is president of the State CIO Coun-
Gil and is director of the CLOS
Political Action Committee in Vir-

BY HARRY LEVER

Vivid memories of years of service
to the Districts bedridden were eX.
changed yesterday when some II
visiting nurses gathered to pay tri-
butte to their chief on her 25th an.
niversary in that capacity.
She is Miss Gertrude H. Bowling
executive director of the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society. All of those
present work with her now or had
been on her busy staff They came
from cities as far away as Bridge
port, Conn, and from the armed
forces, the United States Public
Health Service and other nursing
facilities.
AS she stood in the hallway in the
home of Mrs. James H. Baden, 444(
Nichols avenue S.W. where the par
ty was held, Miss Bowling proudly
wore an orchid and silver brooch
given by her affectionate brood
The brooch was inscribed on one
side to Gertrude H. Bowling, 1921
1916, from her staff" and on the
other was design embodying the
initials of the organization.
The occasion was climaxed when
1t. Frances E. Taylor of the Public
Health Service, who had been with
the visiting nurse organiza ton 1t
years, placed glass of punch in
Miss Bowling's hand, and the as
semblage drank a toast to her as

it would be possible" to make such
an arrangement.
! The seaplanes would be less than
100 horsepower, compared to some
4,000-horsepower planes landing at
the Washington National Airport,
he added.
| An airway traffic controller at
the airport and licensed pilot, Mr..
Scarnecchia said he could have sea-
planes serving Washington this
summer if the project is approved
quickly. His plan is to operate the
base for private seaplanes and to
carry passengers for sightseeing trips
over Washington. Floating docks
would cost only $3.50 apiece, he re-
ported.
1t is the only suitable area, he
said, since below Memorial Bridge
it would be too close to the Air
port, above Key Bridge is too con-
geSted with small craft and the
Anacostia River is too far from
town" The Georgetown area is not
only most convenient but has the
best wind currents. he added.
st. Col. Byron Bird, executive Of
flcer of the United States Engineer
ing Offlce, said he had received sew
eral objections to the project, in
Guiding complaint that it would
interfere with recreation boating
A public hearing has not been de-
cided, he reported.
The engineering office passes on
the application only as it relates to
navigation. Mr.. Scarnecchia also
must obtain approval of the District
Commissioners and the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.

Budget Bureau Asks
S244,350 More for
D. {. Deficiency Bill
The Districts financial headache

The Districts financial headache
was increased by $244,350 yesterday
when the Budget Bureau forwarded
to Congress requests in that amount
to be included in the pending urgent
deficiency bill for use in the re-
mainder of this fiscal year.
The items are scattered among
eight different municipal depart
ments and are largely for personnel
costs not calculated earlier in the
year.
An unexpected number of returned
war veterans who are seeking re.
appointment as members of the Dis
trict Fire Department is the basis
of a request for SAT 500 for that de.
partment.
Extra Welfare Fund.
For the Board of Public Welfare
an extra appropriation of $62, 100 is
asked to pay the costs of an in
creased number of District patients
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital. The
District also is asking $65 900 for the
refund of taxes and smaller items
are requested to cover reallocations
of pay for the personnel of several
departments.
The District appropriation bill for
the year beginning July l may be
sent to the Senate for action this
week, AS reported by the subcom-
NIT tee hea ded by Senator
OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming.
1t calls for an outlay of $500, 600
not counting higher pay roll costs
now in prospect.
Additional Outlay.
Enactment of the Federal paw bill,
which goes into effect July l, adds
S1,600,000 to the 1947 outlay and
the proposed extension of similar
pay raises to police, firemen, school
teachers and part time, temporary
and unclassified municipal employees,
officials say, will add $3,2OO,OOO to
the bill, on an annual basis.
Partly in anticipation of such de-
velopments, the O,Mahoney subcom-
mittee of the Senate has proposed
a $4,000, 900 increase in the Sc ,000.-
600 Federal payment toward Dis
trict costs.

Injured Sergeant CIings to Hope
For PoroIyzed Wife and Baby

There is little else that Sergt
Leland Wenger can do but hope
these days as he lies in his bed at
Walter Reed Hospital.
His 22-year-old wife, who suffered
Ia brain injury in an automobile
accident November 80 and who has
given no sign as yet of awareness
'of their daughters birth last week,
is in a critical condition IN the
Allentown General Hospital in
Allentown, Pa.
But much as he would like o be
at her bedside, the 24-year- old Air
Forces sergeant lies helpless in his
own hospital bed, the victim of the
same auto accident which has left
his wife in a paralyzed comatose
state for more than six months.
Wife Losing Ground.
Despite reports that his wife is
losing ground in her battle for life,
Sergt. Wenger is keeping his chin
up and hasn't lost hope.
IF she can only continue to hold
her own y" he said Yesterday
from his hospital bed.
A reporter asked If he was going
to visit his wife and the daughter
he has not yet seen. Sergt. Wenger
glanced down at his right leg with
out answering. An Army officer told
reporters that complications had
set in the fractured leg and that
1t would be impossible to move
Sergt. Wenger at this time.
