1000 Workers 10 Aid
$4,000 Campaign for
Bethesda Hospital

More than 1000 volunteers will
start a door-to-door canvass to-
morrow in drive to raise $4,000
for Suburban Hospital, Bethesda.
To attain the goal, it is hoped that
5000 residents in the area served
by the hospital will become members
of the hospital association by con-
tributing $40 or more each. Principal
communities included in the area
are Rockville, Kensington, Bethesda,
Chevy Chase, Silver Spring and
Takoma Park.
Mrs. Hugh C. Bickford, co-ordi-
nator of the drive, and her assistant,
Mrs. Morrison M. Clark, already
have mailed 10000 pamphlets and
membership cards to Montgomery
County residents.
Importance Stressed.
Suburban Hospitals membership
drive is perhaps the most important
single event in the history of the
suburban area" Arthur G. Lambert,
hospital board president, declared.
"It will be a test of whether the
people in the area ca unite for the
furtherance of their common good.
st have the greatest confidence
that our. suburban area will take
this opportunity to demonstrate it's
solidarity as Arlington recently did,
by supporting its hospital, and that
it will surpass its goal, which has
been set at a minimum.
All funds for maintenance of the
hospital must come from public con-
tributions, patients or gifts.
Area chairmen for the drive In
clude Robert Moore, North Chevy
Chase; Roy Boyer, Silver Spring;
Mrs. Robert King, Sonoma: Mrs.
George Condron, East Bethesda:
Mrs. Leonard Nelson, Rock Creek
Forest; Martin Keffer, Garrett
Park, and Mrs. Robert D. Haywood,
Martins Addition.
Constructed in 1943.
The hospital was built and
equipped in 1943 as part OF the ma
tional defense program. Its original
cost was about $750,000. Owned by
the Federal Government, the hos
pital is operated under lease by
the nonprofit corporation made up
of community members who pay
dues. Since 1943 it largely has been
financed by revenue obtained from
patients and by voluntary drive
for contributions in 1945.
In 1945 the deficit of the hospital
was about $4,000, said Mr.. Lambert.
The 1916 deficit will necessarily be
larger, he said.
The hospital has 102 adult beds
and % bassinets. 1t has fully
equipped x-ray and laboratory de-
partments, a pharmacy, two operat-
ing rooms for major surgery. two
delivery rooms and an emergency
room open at all hours to care for
accident cases of the community.

Laundry Wednesday

Alexandria customers of the

appointed receiver, said last night.

All Alexandria patrons will be able
to get their laundry and dry clean
ing there-some clean, some solled

store would be open only for a few

said. If not, all laundry and dry
cleaning will be distributed from
the plant, 1347 South Capitol street,
beginning Saturday. d
Mr.. Roney said he was making a
progress report to customers of the
chain to let them know something
is being done about returning their
laundry.
In the meantime, he asked that
patrons refrain from calling him by
telephone. Further, he pointed out
his position as impartial receiver of
assets does not permit him to ac-
cept financial claims against the
company.
They are the concern of John A.
Bresnahan, referee in bankruptcy
who, on the other hand, has nothing
to do with distributing the laundry
and dry cleaning.
Also plagued by telephone calls,
Mr.. Bresnahan asked that claimants
use the mails.

State School Head Attacks
Education BUDGET Change

BALTIMORE, Jan. 18 R.-The
bill to provide for annual sessions of
the State Legislature contains pro-
vision which would make education
in Maryland political football, "
DR.. Thomas G. Pullen jr., State
superintendent of schools, said to-
day. ...
The State Constitution specifies
that the public school budget .ap-
preparation is among those that can
not be amended piecemeal by the
legislature.
DR.. Pullen said this provision was
deleted in Senate Bill "a, which has
been referred to the Committee on
Constitutional Amendments, headed
by Senator Travers, Democrat of
Wicomico.
The deletion, said DR.. Pullen, is
"An invidious attempt to undermine
the school system"
IF the schools are removed from
the protection of the Constitution" :"
he said, mo county nor Baltimore
city can make up budget with the
slightest assurance of money to run
their schools or pay the salaries of
their teachers. 1t would throw every
thing into the greatest uncertainty" 7"
One of the reasons for the original
provision, DR.. Pullen said. is the
known fact that school funds for
local distribution, not only in Mary
land, but in other States as well,
have from time immemorial been
manipulated by the simple expedient
of diverting the school funds to
other purposes"
He said he was curious to know
why so important constitutional
change was not mentioned in the
title of the bill"
DR.. Pullen said he has asked for
public hearing on the legislation.
