New Estimates
For Ga||inger
Ready Today
Dr.. Sweeney Points
To Potent Increase
In Personnel Plea
D.. kA:.: HxaI
By Miriom Ottenberq

A revised set of recommends
tions for improvements in the
psychopathic division of Gal
linger Hospital will go to the
Health Department for submis-
sion to Commissioner Guy Mason
today.
Dr.. A. r. Sweeney, Gallinger Hos
pital superintendent. said the recon-
were completed over the
week end.
The recommendations originally
were submitted to Mr.. Mason last
Friday but were sent back with or
ders to supply the justifications nec-
essary to include the proposed i'm
provements in the budget now being
prepared by the Commissioners.
DR.. Sweeney said the recommen-
dations also call attention to the re-
quests for personnel included in the
original Gallinger budget estimates.
He explained that more personnel
was needed than had been requested
originally because the patient load
had increased substantially since the
estimate was made.
Conditions Laid to Shortage.
The hospital has blamed condi-
tions described in a series of articles
in The Star last week on shortage Of
personnel. Hospital authorities have
assured Commissioner Mason that
manacling of patients could be
stopped If enough nurses and at
tendants were available to give per.
sonal care.
DR.. Sweeney said steps also will
be taken to put the private rooms
in the psychopathic wards into
usable condition. 1t was pointed out
at conference called by Commis-
stoned Mason last week that Sc
clusion was preferable to manacling
disturbed patients.
The hospital superintendent said
he planned to send a request to the
municipal architects office today to
inspect the unused private rooms
to see how they could be made safe.
Radiators Unprotected.
nc cAP4dhleu tAldI GIlc IOOlIlS Cdl.
not be used because of the large, un-
protected radiators which make the
rooms overheated and dangerous.
He wants the architects office to
determine how much heat Is needed
for the rooms and how the radiators
can be covered in such way that
patients can't tear of the covers or
climb up on the radiators.
Another recommendation made
several years ago but not carried out
concerned recreation for those locked
in the wards for . week or month.
DR.. Sweeney said he had appealed to
various volunteer groups to supply
radios but hadreceiyed only one. He
estimated that 10 are needed.

Dirksen Finds
D. {. Legislation
Will Be Put Off
Rent Control However.
Moy Be Token Up at
This Session, He Says

After q last-minute canvass as
Congress convened, Chairman Dirk
sen of the House District Committee
today confirmed reports that no
District legislation, with the possible
exceptions of rent control extension
and unforeseen emergency matters,
will be brought up in the special
session.
At the same time, however, he
said he was encouraging subcom-
mittees of the District group to pro-
ceed at their pleasure with studies
or hearings relating to bills before
them. This, he pointed out, would
enable the full comittee to act on
a comprehensive District program
at the opening of the regular ses-
sion in January.
Confers With Young.
Mr.. Dirksen said the rent con-
troll extension might come up at
the special session because it was
related to the general cost-of Living
problem. :
Among others, Mr.. Dirksen con-
suited Commissioner John Russell
Young today and found the latter
agreeable to postponing action on
District legislation. Mr.. Young
agreed there was nothing of an
emergency nature on hand. He sug-
gested the District National Guard
Armory jurisdictional dispute be-
tween the Commissioners and Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Cox, Guard COM
mandant, should be settled promptly
by legislation. Mr.. Young added,
however, that this probably could
wait until January.
In line with Mr.. Dirksen's sugges-
ton that subcommittee proceed
with their work, the Home Rule Sub
committee, headed by Representa-
tive Auchincloss, Republican, of New
Jersey, has scheduled a dinner meet
ing for Friday night fer an execu-
tive discussion of its city govern
ment reorganization and suffrage
plan.
Revenue Review Promised.
Chairman Bates OF the Fiscal
Subcommittee is keeping in touch
with the Districts financial situation
and promised a comprehensive re-
view-in January-of the whole
revenue program if the District
faces an unbalanced budget.
The Commissioners budget, which
will not be made public until Janu-
ary, is said to call for an outlay
of about $1O0, 900 ,0OO,, approximately
$4,000, 900 above presently expected
revenues. This would be balanced,
under the tentative plan, by the
proposed adoption of sales tax.
This is suggested as substitute
for the individual income levy, which
later would be repealed.
Opposed to Sales Tax.
Mr.. Bates said today the sales tax
was "the least desirable of all taxes
and should not be enacted unless
other revenues cannot be developed
from sources better able to pay"
II sales tax proposal is sub
mitted to Congress, he said, then he
would want his subcommittee to go
into the whole revenue picture again,
make exhaustive studies and call
public hearings.
