Health Department pamphlets or in
the newspapers and wish to make
an appointment for an examination.
Indicative of the fact that the
pamphlets are arousing wide public
interest are numerous requests for
additional copies. The Army has
inquired whether some of the 100000
copies printed could go to them for
distribution to troops quartered In
the neighborhood.
Prospective patients are urged to
consult private physicians for treat
ment and are referred to the Me6i-
cal Bureau If they do not have
physicians of their own. 1t has
happened occasionally that persons
suspecting they were infected have
said they were ashamed to 60 to
their own doctors to be treated.
Curious on Costs.
Queries about the cost of treat
ment are common. Many callers be-
lieve wrongly that it is an expen-
sive proposition, and some have
complained of being overcharged by
private doctors. One woman said
her physician had demanded SITS
for the treatment, to be paid in ad-
vance. She asked to be referred
elsewhere.
To these people. the workers at
the information center explain that,
althought they have no control over
the fees private physician may
charge for examination and treat
ment, the penicillin used is supplied
free of charge by the Health De-
partment to all physicians who re-
quest it for use in treating venereal
disease.
Those who cannot afford to be
treated privately are directed to
one of the Districts two public
health centers. where examination
and treatment are free. The South

Lifts Rate, Adds
ToD.C. Deficit
S4.l5 Daily Charge
To Increase District
Costs $435, 900

The Districts deficit problem be-
came more acute today, with re-
ceipt of Budget Bureau notification
it will be charged $4.15, instead of
s3.65 per day for its patients in st.
Elizabeths Hospital.
A portion of the increase was
anticipated and budget estimates
for the current fiscal year were
based on $3.50 charge. The new
announced figure, however, repre-
sents an additional cost to the
District of about $435, 600 above the
years total computed from the $3.50
figure.
There are more than 1900 pa
tients at st. Elizabeths whose care
is charged to the District.
The Federal Security Agency.
which administers the hospital. had
asked rate of $4.20 per patient
day. 1t cited increased costs for
food, coal, bedding, salaries and
other items as justification.
$685., 600 Provided.
At the $365 rate in effect for the
last fiscal year, the District was
charged about $623O.OOO. A total of
$6.682 900 was provided for this
item in the appropriation bill for
the 1949 fiscal year, beginning last
July l
District budget officials could not
say today how the new increase in
cost will be met. 1t is retroactive to
July /.
1t was pointed out the new jolt to
city finances came close behind rul-
ings of the Controller General that
the District is liable for the Federal
salary increases in the cases of GER
tain Federal employees whose pay is
met by the District. A number of
Office of National Capital Parks,
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and Zoo workers are in

men have been given indications
others may be added.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
estimated several weeks ago the
Districts operating deficit for the
fiscal year would exceed 81 ,600.000
S2.000,000 Estimated Deficit.
Since the special session of Con-
gresS took no action on increasing
the citys revenue, the anticipated
deficit has been boosted now to well
in excess of $2000,000
AS late as last November, Dis
trict officials were talking of the
possibility of working out a plan
that would result in a reduction
in payments for District patients
at st. Elizabeths. Hope was held,
at least. that the rate would not
be advanced.
Fearing the worst, however bud
get officials took the $3.50 daily
charge as the probable new level
and sought funds from Congress
on this basis.
District patients at the hospital
cost the city each year more than
the amount of all public welfare
and public assistance payments and
as much as the police department.
When District officials have
pointed out the annual per-patient
cost is two-and-a-h half times the
national average for mental patients.
FSA officials have replied such a
comparison is meaningless. They
have declared the Nations mental
institutions as whole are sub
standard. whereas St Elizabeths pro-
vides high-quality care and treat
ment.

There are moments when the
girls in the venereal disease dlvi-
sion of the Health Department,
must wonder if their new telephone
isn't going to be quite a problem
The new telephone is an inpor-
tant part of the Districts drive
against gonorrhea. It's number is
Metropolitan 1900, and has been
widely publicized by newspapers
and the radio as a source OF We
nereal disease information.
The girls in the office take turns
answering the dozens of calls that
have been coming in every day
since the telephone was installed
They make notes Of the callers
queries, give them information when
they can. and pass along medical
questions to their bosses, Drs. >
Ross Taggart and A. Truxton
Morgan.
| Generally the operation has run
fairly smoothly. but an occasional
call has stopped them cold. There
was the man, for instance, who
when the girl answered the phone
with "Venereal disease Information
can I help you?" demanded to be
told how far it was to Ottawa
Canada.
Gagsters Add to Calls.
Then there was the gentleman
with the anxious voice who wanted
to know whether there was morl
chance of catching venereal diseas'
here than in Reno, New, and anothe
who said he had been reading th'
gonorrhea figures for the Distric
and had decided he had better move
elsewhere.
An added complication is that tht
number seems to be the lates
favorite of telephone gagsters, WHIT
leave messages for their victims Il
call it. The conversations resulting
from these pranks have done littl.
to advance the campaign.
The vast majority of calls, how.
ever, come from people who reall!
need help. Many of them say they
recently read of the symptoms ano
