Children S Hospital
Rejects Qualified
Offer Of $1,000

A $1,000 check for the Children's
Hospital building fund, proffered
with the stipulation that it be used
only for rooms for Negro patients,
has been rejected by the hospitals
board of directors on the ground
that the hospital cannot accept gifts
to which qualifications are attached.
Correspondence relating to the
offer was sent to The Star yesterday
by Carl Skinner, director of infor-
nation for the Interior Department,
who said he was acting for friend,
Mrs. Nancy P. Straus of Linnean
Hill, Porter street and Klingle road
NV, who made the offer. Her
husband, Michael Straus, is COM
missioner of reclamation for the In
terror Department and a former di-
rector Of information for the depart
ment.
Answering her letter, Rear Ad-
miral c. r. Train, U. S. NJ, retired,
campaign fund chairman, said the
matter would be referred to the
Board of Directors. Mrs. Straus
stipulated the sum should be match
ed by a similar amount. that it be
used for private rooms for Negroes
and that the patients would be free
to employ physicians Of, their own
choice.
Discussed With superintendent.
Admiral Train later wrote Mrs.
Straus it was not the practice of
the hospital to accept gifts with
qualifications. He recalled that Mrs.
Straus had since discussed the mat
ter with Miss Matte M. Gibson,
former superintendent of the hos
Ipital.
In response to another letter from
Mrs. Straus urging further informa-
ton. DR.. John Allan Talbot, secre-
tary of the Board Of Directors
affirmed Admiral Trains position
that gifts to the building fund
cannot be accepted unless COM
|pletely free of qualifications" DR..
Talbot said that hospital plans were
not completed and that Mrs. Straus
idea of "allocating a private room
or rooms to Negro patients will re-
ceive careful consideration"
Finally, on January 10, Mrs.
Straus wrote Admiral Train that
her proposed donation had been
matched by another $1,000, thus
fulfilling one term of the stipula-
ton. She inclosed a check for ST.
600, which she said would be hon.
ored by her bank for 20 days, and
If not cashed in that time will con-
stitute effective rejection of this
substantial contribution.
On January 18 Admiral Train re-
turned the check with the COM
