Promise of Better Hospitals

House approval of the hospital
center bill should make possible a
renaScence in hospital construction
far more significant than mere pro-
vision of needed hospital plants The
new partnership between the ma
tional and municipal governments
and the Washington community i'm
plicit in this bill carries bright prom
Use of bringing hospital care within
the means of more and more people
We should be able now to attain a
new high standard of efficient hos
pital operation, along with the best
counsel obtainable in the plans and
the location of buildings. We should
be able to preserve the fine character
of nonprofit, voluntary hospitals
while securing financial support
from public funds which under
existing conditions is nowhere else
available. We should witness a new
spirit of cooperation between VOL
untary hospitals, new conception
of how to work together in the
public interest.
Since the Senate passage of the
original hospital center bill the
character of the measure changed
materially, some of the changes be-
ing designed to meet anticipated
and expressed objections to the form
of the bill introduced by Senator
Tydings. One of the changes was to
make the municipal government
already spending about 81 per cent
of its income for public health-a
contributor to the hospital center
financing. The arrangement, as
shown by House debate, was ex-
pedient; perhaps the bill would have
failed without il. The municipal
governments acute financial situa-
ton adds complications. But the
terms for the Districts payment of
its share of the cost are lenient and
fair. The advantages to the COM
munity outweigh the disadvantages.
And the clarif1cation of the Districts
financial problem, brought about in
House debate should in the long
run prove helpful.
The other important change in
the House bill was that Federal aid
should be extended to other hos
pitals than the three which have
agreed to pool their resources in the
new hospital center, these now being
Emergency, Garfield and the Episco-
pal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital.
That is an eminently wise provision,
in recognition of the overall need
for hospital beds and of the essential
nature of the services performed by
the other hospitals. Unfortunately,
the House eliminated this aid to
the other hospitals, while leaving
unchanged the total in funds needed
to extend it. While it is possible that
a conference might get this pro-
vision back in the bill, it may be
wiser now to press for enactment of
the measure without inviting re-
sumption of controversy. 1t does not
appear from the debate that the
reason for aid to the noncenter hos
pitfalls was clearly understood in the
House. 1t should be possible eventu-
ally to convince the House of the
Importance of this aid, making COM
plete the hospital building program,
and to amend the law next year to
assure the modernization of all the
city's voluntary nonprofit hoSnitals

Senator Walsh Once Defeated

Senator Walsh Once Defeated
To the Editor OF The Star:
Frank r. Kent Is the Pontifex Maxi
mus OF American newspaper political
comment. He, however. was awry In
The Star on July IT.
On that date, Mr. Kent commented
at length in his column on the unusual
situation pertaining to the election
next November of a United States
Senator in Massachusetts,; when and
where veteran incumbent, Senator
David I Walsh, Democrat, up for re-
election, will be opposed by young
Henry Cabot Lodge. I'd, Republican.
Noting what tough fight" Mr..
Lodge will have on his hands, Mr..
Kent wrote:
For Senator Walsh Is recognized as
the best vote getter In Massachusetts.
He has been Lieutenant Governor, Gov
ernor and now Senator for four terms.
He never has been beaten in an
election"
That Senator Walsh has been Lieu
tenant Governor and Governor is fac
tual; that he has never been beaten in
an election isn't factual. For he was
beaten in 1924 when his first six-year
term in the Senate was up: and beaten
by the then veteran Republican Gillette,
Speaker Of the House of Represent
atives. who was drafted from the House
for that specific purpose.
Senator Walshs four terms In the
Senate are therefore consecutive, and
not successive.

Letters to The Star
Says Increased Wages Make
OPA Futile IN EGact


To the Editor Of The Star:
One point which seems to have been
overlooked by the proponents of the
OPA is that this agency actually acts
as an incentive for organized labor to
strike for higher wages. 1t holds itself
out to the public as being able to pre-
vent overall prices from rising even
though wages are raised. This deceives
the laboring class into believing that
it can gain an increase in real income
by striking for higher wages, whereas
economic laws decree that that can be
accomplished only by an increase in the
productivity of labor.
The President. of course is primarily
responsible for the present inf1ationary
spiral. His statement, shortly before
the General Motors strike, that most
corporations could afford to grant sub
stantial wage advances without in
creasing prices, was nothing less than
an invitation to labor leaders to call
strikes and an inferential promise that
prices would be held in line notwith-
standing by the OPA. This statement
resulted In series Of strikes which
have crippled our reconversion efforts.
Wages were raised averaging about
181z per cent, this rise being supported
If not forced by the Government. OPA
then attempted the obviously impossible
feat of holding the price line It's efforts
merely resulted in the disappearance
of meat, butter, shirts, ETC.. from the
market when manufacturing costs hit
the relatively infiexible ceiling prices
set by the OPA. There Is always a lag
in the increase of retail prices after an
increase in cost Of basic raw materials
but the full effect Of the increase in
wages hit the price line shortly before
the OPA expired. This agency was In
the process of raising ceiling prices all
along the line when Its activities were
terminated and 1t is a question whether
the increase in prices which have
occurred since is much greater than
that which would have occurred had
the agency been continued without
restrictions At least we now can obtain
meat, butter, etc. where before we went
without; and l am convinced that most
people, after the left-wing hysteria
subsidies, would decide that they would
rather pay 10 cents more for meat,
butter, etc, than have none.
While wages have gone up some 90
to 80 per cent on the average during
the past five years the income of in
vestors has stood still or declined This
shows that the profits Of manufacturers
and retailers have not increased. Our
anger therefore should be directed
against the administration which has
brought us to our present sorry state
by deceiving us into thinking that 1t
could revise basic economic laws by
increasing wages while holding prices
When and If OPA Is abolished, our
labor leaders will be put on notice that
any wage increases obtained by strikes
will be met by corresponding increase
in living costs. And, II these leaders
have any intelligence, they will govern
themselves accordingly.

ToIand Gets 1890 Years
For Assault on Woman

Arthur B. Toland, %, colored, oil
the HOO block of Browning place
NE, yesterday was sentenced by
Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws oil
District Court to serve from 10 tc
30 years on charges of criminally
assaulting and robbing a young COL
ored woman last October.
Toland, who recently was found
guilty of the charges by a fury, was
said to have been armed with a
pistol at the time Of the attack and
robbery which took place in North
east Washington near the railroad
tracks. He was prosecuted by AS
sistant United States Attorney Cecil
r. Heflin. Justice Laws sentenced
Toland to 10 to 80 years on the
criminal assault count and gave him
two to six years on the robbery
charge, but ordered the two SEN
tences to run concurrently. Two
other indictments, making similar
charges against Toland, are still
pending for trial.
In another District court sem
tence, Henderson Robinson, 80
colored, of the 600 block OF Second
street NE, was given year by
Justice Jennings Bailey on charge
of negligent homicide in the traffic
death last October of William
Buckman, jr., IS, colored, of the 400

Mrs. Bolton, who recently visited
Europe as a member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, said the
Nation should have followed the
original plan for a three-year de-
mobilization program and added the
complaint that too many of the SOL
diers she had met in Germany
wanted to defend the German
people.
"The Germans have sold our boys
a bill of goods" she said. 1T may
be very dangerous bill of goods ii

tried to rule the world"

The Russians, she reported, are
eager to know Americans, but the
Russian authorities don't like to
have us around" The Soviet atti-

said, in view of appalling living con-
'ditions produced by war and the
fact that this country itself wanted
nothing to do with Russia for years
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, ad-
dressing the meeting, charged that
the United States was cutting away
the very bone and muscle of our
armed forces in our haste to trans
form fighting men into civilians"

of Naval Operations protested the
