La 6uardia Suggests
Expanding Refugee
Plan 10 10000
By WiIIiom A. MiIIen

UNRRA Director General La
Guardia today told his first press
conference since returning from
his European trip, that he be-
lieved President Truman's plan
for asking Congress to admit
$4,000 refugees should be en-
larged to include 10000.
Mr. La Guardia said with a smile
that New York City alone could use
$4,000 housemaids.
The director general foresaw no
further delay in UNRRA shipments,
due to the maritime strike, and de-
clared, tits up to the United States
Government to keep international
traffic flowing" He added that the
difficulty is not an UNRRA prob
lem.
Will Submit Figures.
Mr.. La Guardia said he does not
plan to leave for the Far East until
UNRRA's program is well on it's
way to turning over any unfinished
business to the United Nations.
He said that he will stand by to
submit figures on the economic con-
ditions of countries in which
UNRRA operates to the United Ma
tions, which has given him Offices
at Lake Success, N. Y.
Mr.. La Guardia said there is no
indication as to when the embargo
on UNRRA shipments to China,
apart from food, will be lifted, but
added that he is informed that the
situation is improving and that the
congestion in the ports is being re-
lieved.
Asked for a report on economic
conditions abroad, Mr.. La Guardia
said that he found them best in
Czechoslovakia, and added that ut
is always a delicate thing to measure
comparative distress"
Hungary Needs Help.
He said Hungary has a fairly
difficult situation and needs a great
deal more help than UNRRA can
give" and declared that Englands
condition is very good.
Mr La Guardia brushed aside DO
litical questions, but later after q
conference with President Truman,
he indicated that he would support
the New York senatorial candidacy
of Herbert H. Lehman, his predeces-
5or as UNRRA head, but parried a
question as to whether he also would
Senator Mead, the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate.
Asked if he planned to support
Mr.. Lehman, Mr.. La Guardia said
Il should think so, wouldn't you?"
When another questioner wanted to
know about Senator Mead, Mr.. La
Guardian answered: I'm not say
ing anything about the rest of the
ticket On national affairs I'm an
ultra New Dealer SO there's no diff
Guilty about supporting any one who
reflects that view" He amplified
that he wanted to study that plat
form and ticket and added that I
never voted straight ticket in my
life"
The UNRRA head said he hopes
procurement will end December 81
but said that the European phase
may extend for three months beyond
that and the Chinese phase even
longer. He explained the whole pro-
gram has been delayed by the steel,
railway and maritime strikes.
Regarding Yugoslavia. Mr.. La
Guardia said that he found no evil
dence of anti-American feeling there
and that UNRRA horses are on the
farms and not in the Yugoslav
Army.
He said he will urge $780, 900 to
S750,000 for the proposed interna-
tional children's organization to buy
school lunches all over the world
He said he hopes this group will
come under the United Nations.

INTERPRETIVE:
Suggestion Made
County TakeOve
Local Hospital

County commissioners, at their
meeting last night, informally
discussed a proposal for the coun-
ty to take over the Key West
General Hospital.
1t was explained that the pro-
posal, made by a former member
of the board of governors of the
hospital, was merely suggestion,
and nothing whatever of a def
mite nature was discussed by the
commissioners, but their discus
sion disclosed the chief reason
why the hospital authorities have
been unable to offset all expens-
es by receipts.
1t was stated that, were the
board able to get large enough
number of physicians to serve at
the hospital, probably the expens-
es incurred would be met. But
in Key West, as we'll as else
where in the United States, il
was pointed out, there is an acute
shortage of physicians, a condi-
ton that has been in effect ever
since the hospital was opened.
The Citizen was informed that
the operating expenses at the hos
pital total about $4,000 a year, of
which sum there is an assurance
of only $4,000, one-half paid by
the city and one-half by the
county. That leaves a balance Of
$4,000 that the hospital must OBJ.
tain from patients treated there
but the staff of physicians is not
large enough to operate to an ex-
tent that would bring in that sun
to the institution itself
The commissioners were advis-
ed legally that the county coule
not take over and maintain ano
operate the hospital without ar
enabling act passed by the states
legislature.
When the discussion was con-
e1udea, the proposal still remain
ed in suggestive stage.
