Army 10 Request
Million for
Medical Library
New Structure Here
Would Cost 4 Times
Figure Fixed in '38

The Army surgeon general will ask
Congress next year to renew author
ization for new Army medical liz
brary IN Washington expected to
cost $16,o00,o0o, it was revealed to.
day.
Speaking at the fourth annual
meeting of the Honorary, Con-
sultants to the Army Medical Liz
brary, Brig. Gen. George L. Arm
strong, acting surgeon general, said
new cost estimates quadruple the
amount authorized nine years ago.
In 1898, he said, Congress au-
thorized plans for new building
to cost about $3,750,0OO. He said
estimates were up to $10,0O0,O00 by
last year, and now are about $16,-
000.0 900, Congress will have to amend
the enabling legislation before an
appropriation can be requested, the
officer explained.
I'VE are in period of retrench-
ment when funds are hard to get"
he told consultants at the tWo-day
meeting. Whether our goal can be
accomplished is a grave question.
However, we plan to approach it."
Permanent Director Needed.
In an address this afternoon at
the Hotel Statler, Col. Joseph H.
McNinch, library director, said the
present building at Seventh street
and Independence avenue SW. Is
"bllrStinp ont the walls"
There are leaks in the roof, the
lighting has been problem, the
heating will be a problem and the
trolley cars are noisy" he declared.
Col. McNinch said increased con-
struction estimates are due partly to
spiraling building costs and partly
to plans for expanding the library.
Most of the library's more than
100000 volumes are in the main
building. However, some are in
rented space here and others are at
a branch in Cleveland.
Col. McNinch said one of the
library's greatest needs is to have
a permanent director At present,
Army officers are appointed to the
post every TOUR years.
More Independence Urged.
Gen. Armstrong said the War
Department already has in the
mill plans for acquiring a career
director" He said the Army's plan
is to appoint an officer who will
stay "as long as he can do the job"
rather than the library's proposal
that a head be named for 10 or 20
years.
At the opening session DR.. John
F. Fulton, president of the consult
ant association, urged the group to
develop plan to put the library "on
a more independent basis" One
proposal advanced, he said, would
be that the library get it's funds di-
rectly from Congress instead of from
the War Department.
Col. McNinch said the library's
personnel situation suffered because
of the Army's personnel retrench-
1nent, but that requests for addi-
tional workers now are before the
War ManpoWer Board.
Speakers at a dinner tonight will
include Gen. Armstrong, Dr. Morris
Fishbein, editor of the Journal Of
the American Medical Association;
Walton B. Mcdaniel, librarian,
Philadelphia College of Physicians.
and Chauncey D. Leake. dean Of
the University of Texas Medical
School.
The group will elect new officers
this afternoon. 1t meets each year
to discuss the years developments at
the library and to propose admin
istrative changes.

Precincts 10 Continue
Support Collections
Under New System

Estranged husbands will continue
to make support payments to wives
and minor children through the po-
lice precincts, but with additional
assurance that the funds will be de-
hvered as directed, District Auditor
Arthur R. Pilkerton said today.
Hereafter station clerks will be
required to give each donor a pre-
numbered receipt as his guarantee
that the funds will be forwarded
promptly to Juvenile Court for dis
bursement to the recipient, Mr.. Pill
kerton said.
The station clerks also must list
the receipted numbers and the
amounts forwarded In weekly re-
ports to the court.
The plan was worked out yester-
day when Mr.. Pilkerton consulted
with Juvenile Court Judge Fay
Bentley on the advisability of skip
ping the precincts altogether in the
payment of support funds.
Judge Fears HARDSHIP.
Judge Bentley pointed out that to
do away with the precinct collec-
tions, as provided by the Nonsupport
Act of 1912, would work hard
ship on husbands and wives alike.
Police stations can accept payments
around the clock, while the courts
are closed on Saturdays and Sum-
days, and open only from $50 to 4
o'clock on weekdays.
Since most paydays are on
Thursdays and Saturdays, much of
the money likely would be dissipated
before the husband got around to
making the payment to the court" !"
Judge Bentley said. The husband
also might be compelled to take
time off from his work to pay the
money, losing needed wages in the
process, the judge added.
Mr.. Pilkerton said the plan
should be as foolproof" as is con-
sistent with the precinct method of
collecting funds.
Importance of maintaining the
present collection plan was empha-
sized by Judge Bentley's assertion
that 80 per cent of the $500, 1882
paid to estranged wives and their
children last year came through the
precincts.
Shortage Brought to Light.
The new safeguards were regarded
as the first remedial action growing
out of an audit OF accounts kept by
the late Pvt. Oscar L. Fisher of No.
precinct, on which Mr.. Pilkerton
expects to make full report to the
Commissioners Tuesday.
After Pvt. Fisher committed sui
eide September 18, police officials
said there was a $145 shortage in
District accounts, but that it had
been made up by fellow policemen.
Pvt. Fisher collected dues for three
police associations besides the money
for wives and children.
Judge Bentley said she was In
complete accord with Mr.. Pilker.
tons pre-numbered receipt plan,
pointing out that recently when a
wife complained of not receiving her
payment, the husband was able to
produce a receipt from the precinct.
A skip in the numerical sequence
of precincts reported to the court
will Immediately inform authorities
of a discrepancy.

Conservation Program
 For Game, Fish Must Be Taken by Alaska, Claim

If Alaska is to maintain it's lead as world-famous fishing and hunting ground, it must be- gin a conservation program, J. Hammcnd Brown. President of the Outdoor Writers Association of America said in Seattle last Sun day
 Big game and salmon rS.s in Alaska show signs of decreasing because sportsmen are taking more than the crop will sustain Brown seid following a two-week out ing in the Territory, with leading sports writers of the East Coast.
 We believe Alaska must start a conservation program, before it will have to start restoring. as we did in the States Brown declar- cd. Tt costs ten times as much and takes ten times as long to re- store as to conserve"
 Laws and wardens are not enough for a conservation program, Brown declared. He advocated that sports minded Citizens Of each commun- ity take the lead in wiIdlile pres ervation, as an example to others
 "SpGrtsmen are accustomed to thinking of tie Last Frontier as a land of plenty. Fishermen who catch more than they can use rarely think of throwing the un- harmed fish back in the water Because of this, waters normally very good for fishing are becoming barren"
 The sports writers flew by Pan Am erican Clipper to the statei last weekend following a tour of Southeast Alaska and the Yukon Territory.

Redbirds Lose When Tie Broken in Eighth Inning

By JOE REICHLER

Associated Press Sports Writer)
 Brooklyn's dashing Dodgers never were in a better position to win the National League pennant than they were today following their victory in the biggest game of the year for them.
 Yesterday was the game the Dodgers had to win and they did with a 4-3 triumph in St. Louis which put the Dodgers five and a half games up on the Cardinals.
 It was no secret that Eddie Overs RedbirGs needed a sweep of the showdown three-game series to get back into serious contention Or at the very worst, two victories of three.
 Dyer knew it. Burt Shotten, Brooklyn boss, knew it. The Cards led with their ace, Harry (The Cab Brecheen.
 Rrechesn, with a record of 15 and nine, went down to his 10th defeat as he failed to survive the eighth inning.
 The bases were loaded in the eighth. A single by Harry (Cookie) Lavagetto scored Carl Furillo with the run that broke a 3-3 tie.
