Mr.. Fenwick left here Yesterday
following a conference with a sub

bills proposed by the council.
Senator William D. Medley, Ar
hngton, has been requested to seek
an amendment to the appropriations
bill to provide $4,000 for $hospital

Mr.. Fenwick said the amount is
small but this item is one of the
more important of the entire pro-
gram since such study is necessary

of Federal health grants.
Seek Cancer Fund.
A cancer control program calls
for an appropriation of $270,000 in
the budget bill, Mr. Fenwick said,
but the measure as it left the House
provided only $13,500 for each year
OF the blennium. However, Chair
man c. c. Louderback, of the
House Appropriations Committee
declared this amount was to be in
creased to $4,000 each year. Mr..
Fenwick said the health department
had asked $213,60O for a travelling
clinic, technicians X-ray treat
ments, including $65000 for treat
ment of INDECENT cancer patients.
The budget now makes no provi-
sion for a 100000 item for addi-
