|GaI|inger: Fee
Boost Sought
As Costs Rise
Increasing Maximum
From 81 to $7.44
Daily Is Urged

The Commissioners today have
before them proposal from District
Auditor A. r. Pilkerton to revise the
administration of the fee system at
Gallinger Hospital under which
patients able to pay have piled up a
$500, 900 debt since the hospital first
instituted system of charges in
1912.
The plan provides among other
things for increasing the maximum
from 81 to STA a day, which the
auditor said was necessary to help
meet the increased maintenance
costs at the institution.
Mr.. Pilkerton said that under the
1912 schedule fees adopted by the
hospital, patients or agents of pa
tients contracted to pay before en-
tering the hospital. Collections then
proved difficult and the debt accum-
ulated, requiring extensive book
keeping, he added.
Proposals Outlined.
His proposals, worked out after
discussions with health, hospital and
tax officials, call for:
l. A cashier and cash register to
be stationed at the hospital business
office to handle the paying patient
accounts.
2. Weekly instead of monthly bill
ing of the paying patients.
3. A seven-day week instead of
five-day week for Investigators as
signed to check the financial status
Of paying admissions.
4. Assignment of accounts delin-
quent for 80 days after patients
discharge to the District tax COL
lector's Office for special collection
efforts.
S. Seeking reimbursement from
the nearby counties under reciprocal
agreements for out-of- town INDECENT
patients treated at Gallinger.
Encourages Treatment.
Mr.. Pilkerton said he was not
recommending higher rates for con-
tagious disease patients able to pay
as means of encouraging hospital
treatment for this type of patient.
The maximum rate for tuberculosis
victims Is So day and for other
contagious victims 81.
While the primary function OF
Gallinger Is service to INDECENT
patients, persons capable OF paying
are often admitted either as emer-
gency cases or because they cannot
be taken care of elsewhere.
Mr.. Pilkerton has advised the
city heads OF the Importance of new
handling of the patients able to pay
by pointing out that collections have
been less than so per cent since the
institution of the fee system.

Board Will Reveal
If Price Controls
Are to Be Restored
By MoIeoIm Lomborne, Jr.

The three-ma Price Decon.
troll Board resumed discussions
today on last-minute details Of
the question Of restoring price
controls on major food and feec
Items, with their final decision
scheduled for announcement al
about 7 o'clock tonight.
At that time, the Nation will
know whether such foods as meat
milk, butter and cheese will 70 back
to price ceilings at or above June
30 levels.
Specifically, the board will rule
whether ceilings will be restored
on livestock, dairy products, grains,
cotton seed, soybeans and many
commodities derived from these
basic commodities.
Should the board order controls
restored on any of the items, new
ceilings will not become effective
until Friday.
REIMBURSEMENT Period Needed.
Price Administrator Porter an
nounced this late yesterday, explain
ing that "a little time is necessary
for business to readjust itself to
such recontrol as the board may
order and to permit the (OPA) adj
minlstrator to determine what spe-
ciflc changes in the regulations
may be required BY the decision of
the board"
Mr.. Porter stressed again that
no one in OPA knows what the
boards decision will be. The same
was true at another Government
agency with big stake in the
boards decision - the Agriculture
Department.
Deep secrecy has surrounded the
boards activities since public hear
ings on the various commodities
ended last Thursday and this will
prevail until the formal announce
ment tonight, only five hours before
the deadline set by Congress on act
ing on the items.

network program to explain their
decisions.
The evening announcement was
decided on in order to prevent any
speculation on commodity markets
before the close of business today.
OPA's two-day postponement of
restoring ceilings also will apply in
the event the board fails to act on
one or more OF the five major cate
gories of commodities. Spokesman
for the board, however, have said
the board plans to act one way or
another on all items.
Automatic recontrol of prices, eff
fective tomorrow, was provided by
Congress over any commodity on
which the board failed to rule.
Ruling on Subsidies Due.
The board also will rule tonight
on whether subsidies are to be re-
stored on any foods ordered back
10 ceilings. On this question will
hinge at what level ceilings are to
be pegged.
For instance. if the board or
ders recontrol of meat but says
no subsidies are to be provided
from funds made available by Con-
gress, then June 80 prices for meats
would be out of the question, OPA
officials have said. Similarly, plans
for setting milk prices at about
l cent quart above June 80 would
have to be given up.
Until late hour last night,
the board was collecting information
on what has happened to prices
on the specific items since con-
trolls ended July l.
