By THONGS 6. Buchonon

The long-awaited opening Of the
new George Washington University
Hospital at Washington Circle Is

learned today.
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, university
president, said the first hospital
patients will be admitted on that
date. barring unforeseen delay in
completing the project.
The university will take possession
Of the hospital building March /
from the Federal Works Agency,
under whose supervision 1t was
built, according to the present
schedule.
President Marvin, just back from
a long trip, lost no time in setting
the hospital time table, after con-
ferences with the building contrac-
tor indicated workmen would have
the job substantially finished" by
the March l deadline.
Almost Ready for Occupancy.
Some doors remain to be installed,
part Of the nnoleum flooring must
be laid, lighting fixtures have to be
put In and other final details COM
pleted, but the hospital already Is
almost ready for occupancy.
Leo G. Schneider, hospital super
intendent, has had crews waxing
the upper floors and cleaning up the
building as fast as construction men
finish their part Of the Job. install
lation Of beds and most of the hos
pital equipment cannot take place
until workmen leave.
Every department Of the hospital
will be functioning on opening day,
officials said today. Not all the 400
beds will be occupied for some time,
they pointed out, but the hospital Is
expected to reach its capacity load
within so days.
About a week before the new hos
pital opens, the old hospital at 1889
II street NV. will begin curtailing
admission of additional patients.
Operations which are not urgent
will be postponed. On opening day,
all patients whose condition permits
the move will be transferred in am
balances to the new hospital.
Service Preview Planned.
On March 8, the women's board
OF the hospital will get a novel pre-
view Of the new institution. In
stead Of the usual tour of the build
Ing, each visitor will be- asked to
name some hypothetical ailment.
She will then be shown just how
her cease" would be handled.
The following day, George Wash
ington University students, alumni
and faculty will have a chance TO
inspect the hospital. A tour also
will be provided for contributors to
the university's campaign to raise
$3.50 for medical equipment,
which has Melted $848,927 so far
% per cent Of the goal.
Completion OF the hospital will
come about after three years of con-
struction, delayed at the. start by
reluctance of property owners to
evacuate the hospital site and pro-
longed many months by inability to
get prompt delivery of building ma
terials.
The fate of the old George Wash
ington Hospital has not been def
nitely settled, but it is expected to
be the temporary site of the War
wick Cancer Clinic, now negotiating
for afhliation with the George
Washington Medical Center. The
cancer unit eventually would be
housed in a new building in the.
WASHINGTON Circle area.

Finish Is Imnortant

Because of naples wearing quail
tiles, the matter of suitable finish
is too often neglected. Many fin
ishes have been developed to beau
tify and protect floors under light
conditions of service, and other fin
ishes such as preservatives to pro-
tect floors against unusual and I'M
favorable conditions. These finishes
have their place to keep maple in
good appearance under severe traf-
fic conditions and reduce cleaning
and maintenance costs. When or
dering finish for maple floors be
sure that special types designed for
this wood is used.

Alaskan Planes Set
 New Freight Records

The air lift may be making history these days, but history making is not new to Alaska's airlines, so far as transport rec ordS are concerned.
 Recent figures released by the Alaska Development Board re- port that the 18,758, ,495 pounds of cargo carried in the year which ended last June is a rec ord which upsets several sets of previous figures.
 For instance, that total ex- ceeds by several million pounds the total freight carried in the 12 years between 1927 and 1889. It also tops the wartime record of an entire four years of flying between 1941 and 1945.
 And that's not the entire rec ord either, the Board report re- veals. The statistics do not in- clude figures from a few certifi- cated carriers who were late in making their annual report, nor do they include any of the fig ures from the operations of about 75 small on-certificated airlines which were operating in the territory last year.
