Hospital Needs Survey
And Construction Plan
For Virginia Approved
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 30.-Dr
L. J. Roper, State commissioner OF
health, announced yesterday that
Virginias hospital survey and con-
struction plan has been approved
as submitted to the United States
Public Health Service.
The plan, which was sent to
Washington about 10 days ago, con-
tains a detailed survey of the
States hospital needs in compliance
with provisions of the Hill-Burton
Act, passed by Congress.
Under the Federal legislation
Virginia will receive about $2,200,-
900 each year for a flve-year period,
beginning in 1948. To obtain these
funds for needed hospital con-
struction, localities must match the
Federal money on 81 for 81 basis.
DR.. Roper said a meeting of the
Hospital Council-the group
designated to advise the State De-
partment of Health on the hos
pital programs expected to be
called soon to complete details of
administering the program.
The next step. he said. will be to
receive applications from hospital
areas with high priorities.
Applications will be studied, and
if approved by DR.. Roper, acting
with the advice and assistance of
L1
to the Public Health Service Office
at Washington.
The complete report made by the
Division of Hospital Survey and
Construction now is being pub
lished. The survey, on which a
public hearing was held here last
October showed the need for about
5000 additional general hospital
beds in the State.

A former Princeton University
mathematics professor, whose knowl-
edge of physics and higher mathe-
mates failed to help him in Hyatts-
vile Police Court yesterday, today
was awaiting the outcome of his
appeal from speeding conviction.
A 500 fine was imposed on Haig
Galajikian, 60, of Aberdeen, Md,
whom a Maryland State policeman
charged with exceeding 10 miles on
hour on the Washington Baltimore
boulevard, near Muirkirk, Novem-

Drive Urged 10 Eliminate
Sales Tax on textbooks
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 3O.-The Grey
hound, undergraduate publication of
Loyola College, yesterday proposed
a drive to eliminate sales taxes on
textbooks sold in Maryland high
school and college book stores.
In an editorial, the organ asked
for student views on the matter and
said that If the response strongly
favored exemption. steps would be
taken to seek amendment of the tax
law.
The State controllers office only
comment was a reminder that under
present law textbook sales are liable
for taxation.
The Greyhound's editorial said a
textbook exemption would rectify
"a certain amount of injustice" at
least at the high school level, when
public high school students receive
books free of charge, while private
institutions not only pay for them
but are required to pay a State taz
as well.'

Macarthur Boulevard
Police Jurisdiction
Ruling TO Be Sought

The Maryland Attorney General
will be asked to determine who has
police jurisdiction along Macarthur
boulevard in Montgomery County.
United States Commissioner F.
Archie Meatyard, jr., of Bethesda,
said yesterday he would write At
torney General Hall Hammond re-
questing an opinion.
The question was raised by Trial
Magistrate Warren Browning of
Bethesda Police Court, who contends
that only the Army Engineers and
other Federal authorities have power
to make arrests for offenses COM
mitted along the boulevard.
Mr.. Meatyard, who supported
Judge Browning's contentious, said
he believes the jurist has made a
good study" of the situation and
was right in basing his arguments
on a law passed by the Maryland
Legislature in 1912.
The legislative act, according to
Judge Browning, gave the Federal
Government any authority over the
road which the State previously
possessed. Prior to the enactment
of the law, both the Government and
State had concurrent jurisdiction,
he said.
Meanwhile the Army district en-
gineers' Office said it will continue
to patrol the boulevard, as it has
for many years. A deputy United
States marshal is empowered to
make arrests there, and the cases
will be brought before the United
States commissioner in Bethesda.
States Attorney Walter w. Daw-
son of Montgomery County said it
is not the duty of his office to give
an opinion on the question. Mr.
Dawson added, however, he believes
he would have the power to prose-
cute if any felony were committed
along the bOllleVard

BRATH OF A NEW LIFE

BRATH OF A NEW LIFE
A great deal of what / think
is necessary to breathe the breath
of a new life into the 14,000,000
colored people in these United
States can be found by reseach-
ers who take upon themselves the
task of interviewing the remain
ing few ex slaves now living in
various parts Of the South. Many
of them will be able to tell of
many of their forebears whose sp-
irits the masters whip could not
break; how many of them thought
chained and yoked III bondage
elected to die rather than grining-
ly submit to everlasting degrade
ton and servitude.
My wife has just told me how
her grandmother used to tell her
about such marvellous women -
women who defied their mas
ter's advances and oppression, and
were beaten and tortured into dea-
tn rather than yield.
She tells me that there are boz
oks written by white writers for
sale to and circulation among
white people only, purporting to
show that deep down in colored
people there is a basic courage -
Willingness to die Tor a place
in the sun rather than submit to
eternal slavery physical, econ
omical or political.
Such books point out the i'm
portance of white people spread
ing such propaganda divisive te7.
chniques as are designed to make
the colored people destrluctively
disatified with themselves, to feel
inferior and to act ill at ease in
the presence of white people.
There is method in this mad
ness which drives the enemies of
colored people TO ridicule their
work, good or bad, and strive to
keep their and the worlds eyes
focused upon their shortcomings.
For instance, many daily papers,
in reporting crimes by colored per-
sons in the South, instead of re-
ferring to the offenders by their
names, refer to them as the Neg
