Sale 10 Highest Bidder
OF Capitol Park Hotel
Is Virtually Assured

The Capitol Park Hotel probably
will be sold by the Government to
the highest bidder instead Of being
turned over to District Court, as
proposed by a Senate-passed bill
now before a House subcommittee
This was virtually assured last
night as Representative McGregor
Republican, of Ohio, chairman OF
the House Public Buildings Sub
committee, expressed opposition to
the Senate measure now before his
group. The measure probably will
be shelved by the committee.
Bids have been opened by the
Public Buildings Administration for
sale of the building which faces
Capitol Plaza. The highest bid
$4,000, came from the Capitol
Park Hotel Corp, its former owner
Mr.. McGregor stated that his unit
unanimously favored sale of the
hotel and opposed its use for any
purpose by the Government. On
recommendation of Mr.. McGregor
and other House members, PBA ad-
vertised for bids.
1--WE should quit putting more
money into such projects" said Mr..
McGregor. "The hotel never was
intended as an Office building, I do
not favor spending $4,000 or $780,
600 to recondition it for use as an
annex to District Court"
Meanwhile, the architect of the
Capitol is proceeding with neces-
sary preliminaries looking towards
planning an authorized new Fed
eral Courthouse.
An item of 100000 has been sub
mitted to the Bureau of the Budget
for architectural work on the build
ing, and is expected to be forwarded
to Congress shortly.

| Republican leaders in Congress
confide that they have just begun
to swing the economy axe. 1t is no
secret that some Republicans are
rather disappointed that "orlly"
about 1876 900 Government jobs were
eliminated by Congressional action
this year. The Republican goal, as
outlined by Chairman Taber of the
House Appropriations Committee,
was the firing of 100000 Federal
employees.
But Republicans console them
selves with the thought that they
will have another chance next year
to do some more job slashing. With
the elections coming up next year
and economy in Government ex-
pected to be real Republican cam
tpaign issue, Republican leaders VOW
that they will intensity their drive
to trim the Federal payroll.
Senator Langer's Qualifications.
Chairman LANCER of the Senate
Civil Service Committee isn't the
kind of man to hide his light under
a congressional bushel.
The other day he told a slightly
aStonished Senate in no uncertain
terms that (a) he was the best quail
ifled man in the Senate to hold the
craftsmanship of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, and (b) that he
knew how to run Government bu-
reaus better than any other Senator.
Evidently his colleagues agreed
with him. At any rate, not a Sena-
tor took the floor to dispute his
statements.

| Another Pay Increase Bill.
CAPITOL BRIEFS - Senato or
Flanders, Republican, of Vermont,
plans to introduce bill this week to
increase the pay of cabinet officers
and other top Government officials.
He plans to ask his colleagues on
the Senate Civil Service Committee
for full hearings on the measure.
Some veterans are grumbling
over the bill requiring them to pass
their civil service examinations be-
fore getting 5 and 10-point veterans
preference. The bill has been ap-
proved by the Senate Civil Service
Committee, but these vets have
asked the committee for a chance
to be heard. :. There is absolutely
no chance for the bill to give dis
missed Government workers the
unemployment compensation rights
accorded employees in private indus
try. Nor is there any hope for
legislation to give laid-off Federal
workers a 30-day salary bonus.
Economy, you know.
Senator LANCER is now talking
about giving all those postmaster
jobs to disabled veterans. His COM
mittee has been sitting on more
than 900 postmaster nominations
submitted by President Truman
nearly five months ago. Support
ers of the anger-ChaveZ-S Stevenson
civil service retirement measure say
that Chairman Taft of the Senate
Republican Policy Committee has
promised them Senate right-of way
on the bill within the next few
weeks. Prospects for House action
on the bill before adjournment next
month are not so encouraging.

HSA 10 Ask S675,OOO
From Chest in 1948
For Hospital Care.
By Thomas G. Buchonon

Health Security Administration,
Community Chest-supported agency
which co-ordinates hospital admis-
sions for the poor, will inform Chest
officials tomorrow that its 1948
budget needs will be the highest on
record.
willard C. Smith, HSA admins
traitor, is expected to ask for ap-
proximately $675,000 as the Com
munity Chest Federation's Budget
Committee examines it's first request
for next years funds.
To this, Health Security Admin
istration would add approximately
$500 900 in money collected from
patients who can afford to defray a
portion of their hospital expenses
and from outside contributions.
Would Leave $105, 900 Balance.
With administrative expenses Of
the agency estimated at $95, 900, this
would leave a balance of about
S105 900 to add to the Community
Chest payment to the hospitals TAX
ing HSA patients. &
Last year, local hospitals were
paid $454, 1865 for services to the
INDECENT sick, but even this record
figure fell $82,544 short of the
amount HSA contracted to pay and
far below the actual cost Of the
services. s''
When studying next years pro-
posed budget, the Community Chest
will be able to consult table pre-
pared by the Hospital Council OF
the National Capital area showing
actual operating costs Of the men,
ber hospitals. The table was pre-
pared while hospitals were negotiat-
ing with Group disqualification, Inc
for their current contract.
Contributing Factors Listed.
Contributing to the HSA decision
to request a record sum from the
Community Chest, according to Mr.
Smith, are these factors:
| i. The number of persons apply
ing for hospital aid is expected to
| increase 16 per cent next year, be-
cause of "job layoffs and leveling
off of salaries in the postwar pc
Rod" AS a result a decrease in
ability to make partial repayment
for hospital services is expected.
2. The average period Of hospital
ization probably will increase, as
more hospital beds become avail
able with the opening of George
Washington and Georgetown Uni
versity Hospitals. The acute bed
shortage last year limited the aver
age stay Of HSA maternity cases to
48 days. This should be increased
to 7 days, authorities insist.
8. Hospital expenses continue tc
rise, and may be considerably higher
next year than they were in 1916.
Conferences between HSA and
Hospital Council representatives
have produced general agreement
that rates should be revised up
ward. 1t is proposed that the daily
rates for adults should be raised
from S. to $3.50, and for babies
from S1.50 to So.
| Even these higher figures, it is
recognized, are less than the actual
operating cost at any hospital in
| the CITY.

Gratis? The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee is slated to stream
line it's hearings next year. Under

the various appropriations bills
won't be completed until July. I'm

department and agency chiefs would

mitting their statements in writing
The Story of a Bill.
The chances of Federal employees
getting a pay raise this year can be
gauged by this story.
| A bill was introduced recently by
Representative Butler, Republican
| of New York, to give Federal en-
ployes a temporary $500 pay raise
to offset rising living costs.
When newspaper men questioned
Mr.. Butler about 1t, he looked like
small boy discovered by his moth
er in the cookie jar.
s'Please don't write anything about
it," Mr.. Butler pleaded. "Just dc
me favor and forget about it."
What had happened was that the
New Yorker had introduced the bill
as a favor to some Federal employees
union groups, with no intention OF
hope that it could be enacted ir
this economy-minded Congress. He
wants to please the union people
but at the same time he hopes that
not too much publicity about the
bill will drift back to the rock
ribbed Republican district he repre-
sents back home.
Pretty Smooth.
The left-wing United Public
Workers of America, CIO, is pretty
smooth working outfit, whatever one
may think of it's policies.
/ When hearings were being held or
the Rees loyalty bill, the committee
invited Donald Murray, UPWA's
legislative representative, to testify
on the measure. UPWA, of course
is dead set against the bill.
Behind the invitation was the de-
sire of some of the committee mem
bers to quiz Murray about UPWA's
alleged Communistic leanings. But
Murray refused to be drawn into the
trap. Instead. he politely sent WORD
to the committee that he would sup.
ply it with a written statement or
the unions stand.
The committee was chagrined, but
it could hardly compel him to testify

West Will Strive
For More Industry

Helena-UD-Gov. Sam c, Ford
has said the west is willing "tc
carry on any kind of fight that
is necessary to bring Industry out
here"
Unfortunately, too many Easter
ners have considered us of the west
as undesirable stepchildren, OF
colonies, whose only purpose is to
produce the raw materials for east
ern industries, in order that the
east may thrive" Ford said.
Ford spoke in answer to a news
paper article quoting acting Gov
Arthur w. Coolidge of Massachu-
sets, who called Western Govern
ors Little Boy Blues" who are ''try-
ing to put New England behind the
eight ball" by advocating a shift
of the Wool market from Boston
to the Rocky Mountain area,
I'VE admire the zeal of Western
Governors to boom the sagebrush
country" Coolidge was quoted as
saying, but they will find Massa-
chusetts fighting to keep the wool
industry here where capital and la
Dor have the facilities, the know
how and the nearness to markets. "
Ford said the Boston wool trade
cannot stand in the way of pro-
gress. It is a recognized fact that
there must be a decentralization of
industry, and certain of the West
ern States are entitled to their share
of industry.
THE Wool industry of Boston
must recognize, although l realize
it will be difficult, that we of the
west are in fact pratt of the ma
ton and should be treated as such. ."
Coolidges statement came after
four Western Governors-of Mon
tana, Colorado, North Dakota and
they hoped to shift
some of the wool market from Bos-
ton to the Rocky Mountain area.
