You remember how Alice grew
smaller and smaller as she walked
through the Looking Glass into
Wonderland. The wonder of it in
the Palestine committee at the
United Nations is that any smaller
subcommittee and Sub-sub-
groups can be thought up.
First the General Assembly ap-
pointed the special AID Hoe Com
mittee on Palestine, to bring in
recommendations for a solution
and for implementing it. Then
the AID Hoe Committee, after fur
Their lengthy debate, established
two subcommittee. One, on par
tition, consisted of nine member
states, including the United States
and the Soviet Union, and, agree
ing in principle on partition, was
to erect the framework for it.
The other subcommittee, compos-
ed of the Arab states plus Pakis-
tan and Iran, exchanged their ia
miliar ideas and coordinated their
attack on the competence of the
UN to decide the Palestine ques-
ton, also then reporting to the
mother committee.
The partition subcommittee de-
cided, like the Gilbert and Sullivan
general, to lead from the rear.
The $64-questiOns, as United
states representative HerscheI V.
Johnson called the termination of
tne Mandate, the transitional per-
Tod, and UN supervision and i'm
Fermentation, were temporarily
put aside, pending decision on
them by the United States and
Russia.

Hospitals Ask D. t..
Lndiqent Pay Plan

A subcommittee of the Hospital
Council met with Health Ofhcer
George G. Rutland yesterday after
noon to work out a plan whereby
Washington hospitals. which do not
have contractual relations with the
District, can receive payment for
INDECENT residents who are treated
at these institutions.
Representations were made to DR..
Ruhland that the Washington hos
pitfalls are having a difficult financial
time. They said they believe the
District should pay for treatment
to District residents who are un-
able to pay and are treated at these
hospitals. It is estimated it would
cost the District 100000 more a
year than Is now being spent by the
Health Department.
Four Washington hospitals, Cas-
ualty, Emergency, Freedmen's and
Childrens, now have contractual
relations with the District whereby
they are compensated for the treat
ment of such Washington patients.
The committee discussed the sit
uation with DR.. Ruhland and agreed
to submit a written proposal which
DR.. Rutland will pass on to the
Commissioners for action. Members
of the committee said they would
report back to the council. The COM
mittee told the health ofIicial it is
the primary obligation of the Dis
trict Government to look after
INDECENT persons who are Ill.
DR.. Rutland explained all the
cases now sent to contractual hos
pitals must be cleared through the
Hospital Permit Bureau Of his de-
partment.

An appeal from an Alexandria

fendant. ~
A flve-man jury in Alexandria

dria, to go days in Jail and a fine
Of 5000 for drunken driving. He
was fined 500 and costs on a second

When convicted of the two
charges in the lower court Septem-
Der "a, Key was fined 500 and SEN

Credit 10 Be Available
For Virginia Hospitals
Jan. |, Says Roper
ey the ASxocjoted Pre.s

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 23.-Vir-
ginia's localities will be able to apply
for Federal credit in their hospital
construction programs by the first
of the year. DR.. L. j. Roper, State
Health Commissioner, predicted
yesterday.
The Commissioner said half a
dozen municipalities have indicated
their willingness to proceed with
hospital construction at an early
date. Some money has been raised
in Petersburg, q substantial sum is
available in Suffolk through the
Obici bequest, and Pearisburg
Louisa, and Front Royal are "hos-
pital minded" he added.
DR.. Roper said the States master
plan for hospital construction, made
public at a hearing in the State
Library Building Tuesday, will be
subjected to few changes and
amendments, and then will 60 off to
the United States Public Health
Service In Washington for approval,
Once approval has been gained, the
State Health Department will set up
machinery for handling local apph-
cations and municipalities can start
hiring architects and making plans.
The Commissioner emphasized
that no funds actually have been
appropriated for construction under
the Hill-Burton Act. Virginia has
available, however, a years credit
Of $2,200,000. Localities having a
high priority under the master plan
may apply for some OF this credit. /"

Postage Rule Clarified
For Absentee Ballots
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 23.-An
absentee voter who neglects to send
his local electoral board the % cents
postage required by law to cover
registered mailing of his ballot may
still be entitled, under certain cir
cumstances, to have his vote
counted.
This appeared to be the effect of
ruling yesterday by Attorney Gen.
eral Harvey B. Apperson in answer
to query from the State Board of
Elections, which, in turn, had been
questioned about the point by Earle
Lutz. executive director for the State
Republican Central Committee.
"The statute provides" Mr.. Ap-
person noted in a letter to Levin
Mock Davis, secretary of the Election
Board, that the application shall
be made to the registrar and shall
contain necessary postage, or the
correct amount in legal tender, nee
essary for registering the ballot
from the Electoral Board to such
applicant. But the failure to in
close necessary postage shall not
render void a vote otherwise legally
cast -
However, = it was apparently
contemplated that the voter may
receive the ballot even though he
did not inclose the necessary post
age. so, II the ballot has been sent
to him and is voted by him, it should
be counted"
