Also, the civic group contends, the
maximum license fee would not
have been set at $50 but would
have been left open for a fee Of as
much as the traffic would bear, ii
finances were the prime objectives
of the sponsors.
Mr.. Pembroke also criticized the
licensing feature of the plan which
sets no minimum fee for each ma

planned, a license fee of 81 ma

States for this purpose, and not to

Mr.. Pembroke said he believes

Fairfax Will PAY
Hospital $15for
Cases
Contract Still Pending;
Move Bors Arlington
Refusal to Take Cases

Fairfax County will pay Arlington
Hospital the per-diem cost of In
digent residents who are hospital
lied there, pending the working out
of contract with either Arlington
or some other area hospital and the
County Welfare Department, the
Board of Supervisors decided yester-
day.
Faced with the possibility of hav-
ing INDECENT patients refused treat
ment at Arlington Hospital, the
supervisors instructed Miss T. Mary
Beecham, county welfare superin-
tendent, to pay the per-diem cost of
about SIS per day. The authorize
ton is retroactive to August 6.
Miss Beacham said she had mis-
interpreted the original resolution,
and had failed to make any pay
ments above the $5-a-day allowed
under a previous working agreement
with the hospital, pending efforts to
obtain contract. The county We'll
fare Board has been holding out for
$9-a-day contract, while the hos
pital wants approximately SIS day.
Hospital Losses Described.
Karl H. York, Arlington Hospital
administrator, cited figures to show
that the hospital had lost $6,165 on
treatment of INDECENT patients from
Fairfax County, during the first nine
months of this year, and said that
unless some satisfactory arrange
ment could be made, the institution
would be forced to refuse treatment
for such patients from the county.
The motion as offered by Super
visor Burns N. Gibson, also author
lied Miss Beacham to work under
similar arrangement with any hos
pital which presented bills for in
digent patients from the county un-
til care for such patients could be
obtained with some hospital on a
contract basis.
The board also authorized j. j.
Corbalis, county sanitary, district
engineer, to confer with Arlington
County officials in an effort to work
out an agreement for Arlington
to furnish water to certain proposed
developments which would be within
both counties.
School Application Approved.
This action was in answer to
a request previously received from
Arlington officials for permission
from the Fairfax County board to
oe allowed to supply water in Ger
tain areas.
The board approved an applica-
ton to be filed with the State
Board of Education by the county
School Board, requesting a loan of
100000 from the State literary
fund for construction of an addi-
ton to the Annandale Elementary
School, ''s

Catholics Here Urged 10 Aid
Drive for Overseas Relief

The Rev. Lawrence p. Gatti,
assistant pastor of st. Stephens
Church, yesterday urged District
Catholics to give generously next
Sunday, Laetare Sunday, as the
drive to raise $5,000,000 for their
needy brethren overseas begins. The
campaign will run from March ls
to 23.
Pointing out that Catholics con-
stitute a high percentage Of the
total Of displaced persons in Europe,
Father Gatti said only a few cents
from each Of the 24,50o,000 Cath
olics in the United States would
make it easy to reach the S., 900 900
goal. He cited the efforts of Amer.
ican Jews to raise $17o,000,0 900 for
their brethren overseas as worthy OF
emulation.
"Laetare means be glad,'" Father
Gatti continued, adding, "let us this
coming Sunday in a concrete way
say 1aetare' to each Of our poor
brothers in Christ all over the
world"
A letter supporting the campaign
from Archbishop Michael J. Curley
Of Washington and Baltimore was
read in Catholic churches through
out the District area yesterday.

Communist Counterfeit Plot
Spoiled ItoIy's Money Reform
By Constantine Brown
Ssar Foreign Affairs Analyst

ROME (by MaiD Prime Minister
Alcide de Gasperi's administration
decided some time ago to withdraw
all the various kinds of money
circulating in Italy and replace them
with new government bank notes.
Everything went well until it was
discovered that the Communist
Party had obtained duplicate plates
and was busy printing money to be
issued soon after the government
had recalled the old currency and
replaced it with a limited amount
of the new.
The plan of Mr.. de Gasperi's min
lister Of finance was abandoned and
the present chaotic monetary sys-
tenn Of circulating paper money
issued by various authorities-in-
cluding Benito Mussolini-was al
lowed to continue.
In spite OF the currency difficulties,
the shops are full of manufactured
goods, including the finest types OF
silk and brocade, shoes and leather
products, textiles, and so forth.
The italian people refuse to re-
main idle. Salaries and wages are
probably among the lowest In
Europe. In the northern factories
the large employers are helping their
workers by organizing co-operatives
where, for a nominal sum, they can
buy liie's necessities for their
families and themselves.

faced with dire starvation. They are
people who used to lead a moderately

Dismissal Of $4,000
Seen in Expense Cuts
For 7 Departments

Representative Dirksen, Repub-

lative Budget Committees, estimated
today that the cuts made in last
weeks Treasury-Post once bill will
result in the dismissals of between
25,0o0 and 10000 employees in the
two departments.
Hailing the action Of the House
Appropriations Committee in dras-
tically reducing expenditures, Mr..
Dirksen declared ''the Republican
program for reductions is right on
the BEAM"
Estimate of the number Of dis.
missals contemplated was the first
made by an influential member Of
the Appropriations Committee since
the Treasury-post Office appro-
priations bill was reported out last
week.
In making the estimate in a
House speech Mr.. Dirksen chided
Democratic colleagues who have
charged that the cuts are cam
outage" and "phony."
"The Democrats who saw thew
are using the same old New Deal
arithmetic that has brought the
country to its present dangerous
fiscal state" Mr.. Dirksen declared
Instead of indulging in political
balderdash, they should stand up
and cheer" he continued. They
are witnessing a novelty. It's the

that moves in the direction of real
economy. It's wonderful"
