Mr.. Reece declared. He said the
President is unable to get his leg
islative program through Congress,
despite his party's majority in both
Houses, and added this might be
owing to "the fact that Mr.. Tru-
mans program can be described
more accurately as program of the

a program of the Democratic party
Mr.. Reece, who has been described
in some quarters as favoring the
presidential candidacy of Senator
Taft of Ohio, said he wanted to
make 1t clear" the national COM
mittee is not concerned with the
selection of candidates for that
Office. His committee, he said, is
solely concerned with election OF a

should be borne in mind that condl-
tions at the hospital have direct
relation to the wartime shortages of
help. He said this was particularly
/ true as to nurses.
/ One Prewar EmplOye.
! On this point, he noted that DR.
Joseph Gilbert, head of Gallinger's S
| psychiatric ward, had testified today
/ that he had on his staff only one
employe who was there before the
war, except for physicians. Dr.. Gill
bert said he had spent considerable
time this morning persuading that
one veteran employe not to resign.
He told the committee this condi-
ton prevailed because the division
was "understaffed and oyerworked. p"
The committee headed by DR.,
Winfred Overholser head of ST.
Elizabeth's Hospital, which ex-
amined the Gallinger psychiatric
divisions needs year or two ago,
Senator OMahoney recalled, recon-
mended the staff should be increased
to 80 At present, the division has
but ~ employees despite an increase
in the number of patients, Senator
O'Mahoney said.
| Meanwhile, sharp professional
disagreement prevailed today be-
tween key District health officials
as to how many of the 267 prema-
turely born infants who died might
have been saved merely by adequate
nursing care had this been avail
able.
DR.. Sweet maintained it should
be possible to save the lives of all
babies from infection and other
death causes not present at birth.
Nursing Only One Factor.
Dr. Rutland fully agreed thai
nursing care at Gallinger is far from
adequate but insisted this is caused
by a continuing lack of nurses to
hire rather than lack of funds.
The health officer said nursing
care, as vital as it is, constituted
but one of great variety" of rea
sons for first-month deaths of pre-
mature babies who survive the first
few hours after birth.
"Dr. Sweets intentions are the
best, but to say we could have saved
them all is too big an Order" Dr.
Rutland declared.
Capitol Hill officials today still
were rather mystified as to why
written reports on "preventable'
deaths among the newborn at Gal
linger-formally sent up the line
more than two years ago-neve1
reached the attention of either the
Commissioners or congressional
committees until the new ano
Startling" report got to the Senate
group last week The new report
was not studied by top officials
prior to its presentation to Con-
gress.
Rutland Received Data.
DR.. Rutland admitted to the
O'Mahoney Subcommittee yester.
day he had received but had not
! read the data submitted in 1914 by
lDr. Sweet for inclusion in the Dis.
Ttrict's annual report for that flsca
year
"Manifestly, I did not have time
to read the full report he tolc
reporters.

DR.. Sweet or other division chief!
:. thought they had something of such
Importance as this 'it should have
been made a matter of special com.
munication" to the health officer
: In the future, he said. he would in
sist that all such exceptional con
ditions be relayed to him by specia

AREA RENT OFFICE
AWAITS new ORDER

In answer to inquiries which
have flooded the Wilmington OPA
rent control agency since publica-
ton of United Press report from
Washington that resort housing
occupied on a seasonal basis would
be exempt from price control this
year, Maurice Moore, area rent
director, yesterday, said his office

emption of beach properties for the

clared, adding that amendments

were issued in the spring of 1914
and 1875, each providing for ex-
enption, during June, July, Au-
gust, and September, of those &C
commodations which were Gus
tomarily rented or occupied on

Each Of the amendments, ne
continued, was qualified, how
ever, by provisio that the accom-
mediation was not rented during
any portion of the period COM
mencing Nov. l, 1913, and ending
Feb. 20, 1914"
Moore said he was not in posi-
ton to state whether any amend
ment issued this year might ex-
clude the qualification of rental
vacancy during the 1884 winter
season.
He emphasized, however. that
any information received in the
local office regarding changes in

That life begins at 40 was
given material evidence yes
terday morning in the post
office lobby. standing alone in
the center of the floor, with
look of bewilderment, was
little old lady-possibly IS, or
older. As she glanced around,
her bewilderment seemed to
turn to fright. Picking from
behind column post, near the
stairway leading to the second
floor, was another old lady of
possibly the same age. ''Booh",
she exclaimed as she stepped
into the open. Couldn't you
find me?" she asked her friend.
The hewilderment left the face
of the first woman as they both
laughed. "Hide-and-go-seek and
at our age" both exclaimed.

He's hitting .315.

TWO TOUR PARTIES
 ARE ALASKA BOUND: COMING TO JUNEAU

The lid is oi, and the postwar tourist trek to Americas s last iron begun.
 Popping the cork on pent-up pleasure travel to the Territory, the first large scale postwar tourist group assembled at Seattle last Friday, prior to fabulous 6O-day conducted tour of Alaska.
 A cosmopolitan group, the 26 tourists represent ten states, from New York to California. Divided into two groups, one party left Seattle by Pan American Clipper, the other one by one of Campbell Church's private yachts, both last Saturday. The two tours cove CT the same territory, only in re- verse order.
 Mrs. James Oliver Curwood of Los Angeles, Calf, widow of the late author of Gods Country, ''Kazan, Alaskan" and other books is one of the guests.

Every note worthy glacier, gold mine, totem pole and town from Ketchikan to Nome will be visited Guests will feast on succulent porpoise steaks, hike up Mount Mckinley, pan gold, ride an Eskimo skin boat, soak in hot springs almost under the Arctic Circles nose, catch king salmon and Arctic trout, and sun them selves under the midnight sunl
 The first group of "cheechako" tourists flew from Seattle to the gold-rush city of Whitehorse by Pan American Clipper There they will fish, ride horseback and cruise at nearby Marsh Lake Lodge, the Yukon's new luxury resort. And chances are, the fisherman will land string of trout anywhere from 15 to 40 inches long!
 Sightseeing trips through the his- torical town of Whitehorse, a sur vey of the Alaska highway, and a trip to Skagway over the White Pass and Yukon will highlight the visit to the Yukon territory.
 Tourists will then travel from the interior to Alaska's famous farming spot, Matanuska, near Palmer. Then on to Anchorage, where guests will swim and picnic on Lake Spenard, visit Merrill Field which in 1914 had more plane take offs and landings than did La- Guardia Field in New York, dance and relax at the Idle Hour Coun- try Club.
 A special troas Tor sportsmen will be the side trip to Seward and the Kenai Peninsula, where fishing in small lakes and in the Russian river is unsurpassed. Horseback rides, picnics and hikes to view the profusion of flowers and. wildlife will be arranged.

Brooklyn Stretches Lead in Maj. League-JifterY
 Joe Makes Debut
BY RALPH RIDDEN ZAP SPORTS WRITER

The Philadelphia Phillies surge out of the National League cellar and their threatened movement in to the first division has gained popular appeal throughout the na- tion. But to the pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers they look like the Phillies of old
 In the first inning at Ebbets Field before 31,913 of the Flatbusa faithful last night the Dodgers end- ed whatever dreams Manager Ben Chapman's aggregation had of gaining their first triumph of the AOKS by blasting Art Lopatka and Tommy Hughes for six runs.
 The win was the Dodgers sixth straight, their ninth in a TOW over the Phils, and it stretched their first place margin over the St. Louis Cardinals to siX-and-one- half games as the Red Birds bowed, 5-4, to the Cincinnati Reds in 13 in- nings.
 Rip Sewell made it two shutout victories in succession for the Pir- ates by blanking the Chicago Cubs, To, on four hits.
 In a twilight game before 17528 fans at Detroit, Virgil Fire Trucks of the Tigers whitewashed the Chicago White SoX, 20, to post his ninth conquest of the year.
 Jittery Joe Berry, purchased early yesterday by the Cleveland Indians from the Toronto Maple Leaves of the International League, celebrated the occasion by gaining credit for Clevelands GA triumph over the St. Louis Brown and bat ting in what proved to be the winning run.

British tennis experts think that young Tom Brown of San Francisco may walk off with the so-called triple crown" at Wimbledon. The British observers are going out on a limb by forecasting that the 23-year-old former CT will win the singles title now that Austral- ia's Dinny Fails has been eliminat- ed. Brown must beat Fails con- queror, Won Petra of France, in the semi finals. And the British think Brown and Jack Kramer are virtually certain to cop the mems double title, while Brown and Lou ise Brough are given an even chance to win the mixed doubles championship.
