named as one closely associated
with the Schroeder banking in

subservient to the Rockefeller in

Murphy was described as "one
of a circle of arch exploiters, the
most dangerous enemies of peace

George, who was recently return
ed to his throne.
There seems to be no clearcut
position by the Republican con-
gress on the Greek question.
THE imperialist wing is in ia
vor of maintaining Greece as an
outpost against the Soviet Union,
and because of its strategic geo
graphic location in the Mediter-
ranean on the route to the Near
East oilfields. But to openly sup
port the King George regime
would mean giving financial and
military backing to a government
considered basically as fascist as
those defeated by the allies in
World War II.
Further, it would be a direct
violation of American tradition,
which is opposed to direct inter-
vention in the affairs of Europe.
This would entail complete re-
versal of historic foreign policy.
This Is the cry of the isolation
list wing of the Republican party,
which spearheaded the drive to

dent Truman's budget. Economy

would be viewed as "a slick
maneuver to use American dol
lars to save the British empire
again."

WINGED, however, that the British

Building Possible

1t Is diffcult to imagine what
would happen at Children's Hospi-
tai sometimes If it didn't have halls.
Where would the extra beds go
when sickness strikes with force
that bulges the hospitals 222-bed
capacity with as many as 240 pa
tients at one time?
Where would visitors to the out
patient dispensary wait on days
when up to 43o appear for treat
ment2
OF course there's no such thing
as a hospital without halls. But
corridors are used enough as ac-
cesses in a busy hospital, where pa
tients are being moved to and from
operating rooms and food and
medicine and supplies are being
carried from room to room.
Facilities Outmoded.
Despite the handicaps OF poor,
overcrowded building facilities,
Children's Hospital always has
managed to meet an emergency
| so far.
But in times of emergency it
takes all the ingenuity and hard
work the hospital staff can muster
| to see that no seriously Ill child is
turned away.
Built in 1870, the main building
of the hospital is just about ex-
hausted. 1t has been condemned
for the use Of children for 20 years.
It's facilities are outmoded. 1t Is
not fireproof.
Children's 90 beds occupy other
space which, according to the STAN
dards set up by the Children's Bu-
reau, is adequate for about 185 beds.
Kitchen Inadequate.
Located in the main building
along with personnel Offices, main
tenance facilities. nurses and resi-
dent physicians, is the hospital
kitchen. 1t Is poorly lighted; its
facilities are inadequate. Meals
must be taken in carts as far rs q
block to the private ward or the
east ward.
The hospital has only II regular
isolation ward beds for children with
contagious diseases. There Is space
for only seven babies In the pre-
mature nursery.
These are some of the reasons
why Children's Hospital needs a new
building. The hospitals building
campaign Is short of its original
goal by more than $1,000, and a
larger sum Is needed now because
of the rise in construction costs.
You can help to provide that new
building, and you needn't write a
check or dig down into your pocket.

DDT Spraying Frightens
Montgomery Residents

Montgomery County's DDT spray
ing project to eradicate the JAP
anese beetle and other pests got
under way yesterday amid a furry

house owners.
According to County Agent O.. w
Anderson, the chief fear was that
the spray would kill birds, gold fish,
and possibly the residents them
selves. He assured them the solu-
ton would kill only the pests for
which it was intended and would
not even harm bees.
The spray truck, which started
in the Bethesda and Kenwood area,
will be working in the same section
today. A second truck will go into
action today in Gaithersburg.
