Greenbe|t Continues
Church Site Fiqht

Greenbelt (Md.) religious and
community leaders today were set
to continue their fight to obtain per-
manent churches for their commu-
nifty despite refusal of the Public
Housing Administration to sell land
for church sites.
Town Manager Charles T. Nc
Donald reported the battle would be
carried on by joint, interfaith COM
mittee, organized about a week ago.
Since 1887, when the town was
completed. Catholics have used the
town theater, while Protestants and
Jews have held services in the
Greenbelt Center School Auditorium,
Mr.. Mcdonald pointed out.
An official of the Public Housing
Administration, which operates the
community, yesterday reaffirmed the
agency's stand against selling town
land for church sites.
According to Robert A. Marshall,
acting director Of the PHAs Infor-
nation Division, the agency is re-
stricted by Supreme Court ruling
prohibiting Government aid to re-
ligion, and because of a plan by
PHA to transfer the entire COM
munity to private ownership.
Supreme Court decisions have as
serted that PHA cannot legally
donate or set aside land for churches
at reduced prices, Mr.. Marshall said.

To large group of Washington
residents who otherwise would find
hospital bills prohibitive, prepay
ment insurance plans of such org
anizations as Group disqualification,
Inc, and Group Health Association
mean the ability to meet most hos
pital costs. Such plans throughout
I the nation are covering more than
80, ,000, 900 persons.
Hope to Expand Plans.
Spurred on by advocates of a
Government controlled compulsory
health program, voluntary health
and hospital leaders hope to expand
these plans to offer the entire work.
ing population of the nation COM
Il plete protection against all hospital
bills-no matter how high.
Prepayment plans in most cities
are grouped under the fast-growing
Blue Cross Commission, headed by
DR.. Paul r. Hawley, former medical
director of the Veterans Administra-
ton.
CHI, the largest such organization
in Washington, has enrolled 375,000
residents here. 1t paid hospitals for
1913 900 days of treatment to it's sub
scribers during the first six months
of this year. The group last week
ANNOUNCED increased rates to meet
higher payments to hospitals, but
included additional hospital services
in its contracts. CHI still has
long way to 60, however, in covering
Washington with its service benefits.
Membership, for example. is limited
to groups set up in business which
have at least five employees. and
so per cent of employees must join
in order to form group.
Greatest hope for expansion of the
plan here, officials feel. is to open
membership on a community basis,
to allow individuals to enroll and
make payments directly to the
organization. Such a plan now is
under consideration but no definite
plans have been made.
Drawback in Plan.
A drawback in the present plan,
officials say, Is the difficulty in get
ting enough subscribers to establish
group in some Offices. particularly
those with a large Negro employ
ment. Where it has not been possible
to get sufficient number in such
Offices, plans have been set up to
enroll only white employees.
Protection also is offered to the
public through commercial insurance
companies on a prepayment basis.
But in these cases, the companies
ipay patients fixed amounts toward
hospital bills rather than paying
hospitals for services they give.
DR.. Hawley has condemned Blue
Cross plans which have deviated to
provide such cash indemnity pay
ments to patients. The trend must
be toward complete service coverage
without any restrictions whatever"
he said recently. THAT is the only
real answer under q voluntary
System"
Far behind are plans operated
in conjunction with medical groups,
such as the CHI District Medical So
ciety prepayment protection against
surgery bills. They must gain in
creased support from doctors before
they can nearly approach success of
the hospital plans.
Many new services also must be
covered, officials believe, before the
plans will become really attractive

to employers and their employees
One factor holding back such ex-
pansion now is the fear of making
rates seem too high to the public.
AS prepayment plans and the
complexities of medical care are
sending more people to hospitals
the need for co-ordinated facilities
is being recognized as an increasingly
important factor in the Nations
health.
Change Since Wartime.
The Metropolitan Health and Hos.
pital Survey two years ago gave
Washington a fine foundation tt
build plans for adequate facilities
for diagnosis and treatment of all
kinds. But the city has changed
from its wartime condition and sc
may have its hospital needs. The
new 400-bed hospitals at George
Washington and Georgetown Uni
versities have furnished outstanding
facilities for research and training
as well as treatment.
The proposed 1,500-bed Washing
ton Hospital Center, which will con-
solidate Garfield, Emergency ano
Episcopal Hospitals, will replace some
OF the Oldest facilities, and supply
additional beds for the city. Provi-
dence also faces a possibility OF
moving into new quarters nea1
Catholic University, although plans
are still unsettled.
Children'S Hospital, aided by Fed
eral funds, soon will begin a $2,000,-
600 expansion and renovation pro-
gram.
Others Plan Expansion.
Most other hospitals here also have
expensive expansion and repair
plans, success of which rests pri-
marily on Federal grants Most OF
these based hopes on a $4,000, ,00O
authorization in an amendment to
the Hospital Center Act. The legis-
lation reached the House floor in
June, but action was blocked there
With so many projects on hand
hospital authorities believe Wash
ington might well look to plans laid
down in other cities to determine
the actual need and the most effec-
tive use of each hospital.
One of the most well-developed
plans is the master plan" of the
Hospital Council of Greater New
York. The council is composed OF
organizations, but its Board of Di-
rectors represent the community
rather than specific groups.
Plan Estimates Needs.
The plan estimates the needs In
each area of the city and recon-
mends the type of institutions re-
quired to supply them. While the
council has no power to require
participation. most hospitals come
to it voluntarily for approval of their
expansion and repair projects-and
abide by the decisions.
A similar 14-member citizens
committee recently was formed in
Philadelphia to plan needs and
screen proposed projects in the
Philadelphia area that would cost
$86 ,000, 900 if carried out.
Authorities believe that. without
planning, there is as much danger
in overbuilding as in not having
enough beds. And enough money tc
operate them must be assured
