students and is now teaching 543

A report on the Metropolitan
Health Council survey of health
and hospital facilities in this area,
scheduled to be published next week.
is expected to set in motion a new
drive for legislation for Federal
aid in development of a new nos
pital center here.
Spokesmen for the House District
Committee said they anticipated &C
ton would be taken by the Nc
Gehee subcommittee shortly after
the survey data becomes available.
There was some hope the plan
for financing a l,500-bed modern
hospital center, to cost $20000000,
might be sent to the House for
action prior to the prediction re-
cess now scheduled to begin en-
July l. One version of the bill was
passed months ago by the Senate.
Meanwhile, Alan Johnstone, gen.
eral counsel to the Federal Works
Agency, said he was convinced
Washington hospitals planning to
participate directly in the projected
center were willing to "go the limit
in pledging their resources toward
partial repayment of Federal Ad-
Vances for the center.
Under the latest suggested ar
rangement, this would amount to
the total value of their present
holdings. or about 20 per cent OF
the expected costs of the new prof.
ect. it was said.
In addition. however, other Wash
ington hospitals which find it i'm
practicable to become an integral
part of the project center, are in
need of aid for expansion OF re-
placement of their plants, tue FWA
official said.
Garfield Emergency and Episco-
pal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospitals
are three nonprof1t organizations SO
far listed as participants in the GEN.
ter. The latest plan is said to con-
template construction of the center
on the Garfield tract, only part OF
which is used by the present plant
and the sale of the properties OF
Emergency and Episcopal hospitals
for Government or private use.

$4,000 to Finance

The Commissioners today finally
approved a plan of a corporation Of
mothers to operate 20 child day-care
centers in public buildings until
June 30.
The Commissioners took action
after the corporation, Child Day
Care Centers, Inc, posted checks
for $4,000 to finance the nursery
operations until May 81.
The program is approved for the
month OF June contingent on fur
niShing of sufficient funds by the
group, which is relying largely on
guarantees from the Community
War Fund.
Ends Long Fight.
The APPROVAL ends efforts of the
mothers since February %, when
Federal funds for the project ex-
pired, to obtain its continuance for
the rest of the fiscal year. Ths
centers have been operated by the
Board of Education and IA of them
are in school buildings.
The Board of Education had
earlier approved the plan of the
corporation and has been waiting
only for the action by the Commits
sionerS to reopen the centers.
Since February % some of tha
centers have been operated in
churches and similar buildings on
an abbreviated basis while the
mothers fought for a sponsorship
of the project by the District gov
ernment.
District Aid Refused.
The Commissioners refused last
February to seek a deficiency ap-
preparation of $4,000 to take over
the project from the end of Feb-
ruary, indicating they were not cer-
tain 1t was fit program to be sup
ported by tax dollars in peacetime
economy. The program was insti-
tuted during the war years to pro-
vide day care for the children to
free mothers for essential jobs.
The Commissioners suggested to
the mothers the forming of a cor
poration and that it request private
charity funds. The delay in final
approval has been occasioned by the
failure of the corporation to post
what the District considered suf-
ficient funds to cover the necessary
supplies for which contracts must
be let by the city. Oficials said the
District could not by law spend
more money than it had no hand.
