sewing machines which was the
object of widespread police search
yesterday will be delivered to its
destination in Arlington County
today. The big trailer truck con-
tanning the 1856 sewing machines
which had been reported stolen by

borrowed" it.
officials of the trucking company
said they had given the driver per-
mission to borrow a truck to move
"a few pieces of furniture" over the
week end, but had no idea he would
take the huge trailer van. The van
was found when the driver tel
ephoned from Upright. Va, that he
was stuck in the mud. Trucking
company officials said they had not
decided what disciplinary action to
take against the driver.

Whole Load Loans
Urqed by Mason

If the District Is going to borrow
money to build schools, 1t should
borrow enough to take care Of "the
whole load" of needed city construc-
ton, according to Commissioner Guy
Mason. He asserted some of the
welfare institutions are "a disgrace.
Mr. Mason commented yesterday
on the recommendation of the re-
port by DR.. George D. Strayer that
the District spend $37,901,816 in
school construction. The report was
the first to come from a survey of
the public school system that DR..
Strayer and his organization have
been making.
1t was Dr.. Strayer's recommends
ton that the borrowed money be
obtained as an interest-free loan
from the Federal Government. He
condemned the pay-as-you-go sys-
tenn under which the District has
been building schools.
"Other institutions need money as
well as the schools" Mr.. Mason said
He objected to doing the construc-
ton job piecemeal.
I'VE should take care Of all of
our rundown institutions, he said
particularly the welfare and health
centers. We have welfare institu-
tions in this town that are a dis
grace. It's shame to have people
in some Of them. We should do all
the job"
Apparently he thought that the
District might have to pay interest
on the borrowed money for he sug-
gested that a loan be spread over
enough years so that interest and
principal payments would not be
excessive in any one year.

Lobster King Sees Red at Idea
Of Usinq Rddor in Kitchen.
Restaurant Convention
Delegate Tells How
He Won His Title

The Lobster King, never a man
to frown on a new gimmick, doesn't
see much OF a future for radar-
in the kitchen, that is.
The trouble with radar, accord
ing to Robert G. Jahrling of Spring
field, Mass, is that it can't cook q
lobster properly.
And the taste of a radar-cooked
lobster! Mr.. Jahrling's face
puckered in a terrible grimace. 1t
was clear there are no words to
describe the taste of a radar-cooked
lobster.
Mr.. Jahrling. one of several hun
dred food experts attending the
Southeastern Regional Restaurant
Convention and Exposition at the
Statler Hotel, is president of the
Highland Hotel in Springfield where
$500 Holsters are served week.
He wears lobster pins on each lapel
of his coat-one of red plastic and
one of magnesium.
Fridays Brought Success.
They call me the Lobster King,
Mr.. Jahrling said modestly, but
there are some other seashore places
that serve more Holsters than I dc
some weeks during the summer. But
on an annual basis my hotel serves
more Holsters than any other place
in the world"
: LobsterS and success have been
synonymous in Mr.. Jahrling's career
They came together-profession-
ally-back in 1906 when he was Sec
ond cook in the hotel he now owns
The hotel restaurant specialized in
sturdy German dishes such as brat
wurst, boiled pigs knuckles ano
wiener schnitzel, but on Fridays
business was very. very dull. Mr.
Jahrling suggested whole broiled
Holsters as a Friday special.
The proprietor was reluctant, but
he bought six Holsters as a starter
The next week he bought u. BY the
end of the first month Mr.. Jahrline
was cooking 100 Holsters and had
found the key to success.
There's only one way to serve
lobster, Mr.. Jahrling believes, ano
it is this way.
Get good frisky lobster-about
a pound and a half is nice size.
Be sure he hasn't been out of the
water more than two or three days.
Split the critter in half and sprinkle
him with about two ounces Of butter
and some bread crumbs. Then broil
him." 1t takes about eight minutes

probably will have six or eight divi-

villain units and representatives of
as many as eight States.
The question of whether Mr.. Tru-
man will ride at the head of the
parade or return to the White House
after his swearing in at the Capitol
is as yet undecided, Mr.. Barron
said. President Roosevelt returned
before the parade began in 1941,

Cafeteria Workers
Get 71-Cent Raise
In New GSI Contract

Government Services, Inc, and
its 1,400 cafeteria workers have
signed a new contract after four
days of negotiating an agreement
that took SO days and hectic strike
a year ago.
Effective January 1, the new con-
tract will give all workers 71a cent
increase and other benefits.
j. @. Niehuss. company personnel
director, said there will be no i'm
mediate increase in prices of meals
at the AZ cafeterias as result of
the expanded payroll.
I'VE hope no increase will be
necessary after January l." Mr.. Me
huss said. There undoubtedly will
be discussions along this line, how
ever, after we see how things are
working out"
The negotiations we're carried on
with such speed that few outside
the concerned groups knew Of them.
The agreement was reached last
Saturday, but announcement was
held up pending ratification by the
company and the union member
ship.
Steps Toward Peace"
In a Joint statement Mr.. Niehuss
and Oliver T. Palmer, business agent
of the United Cafeteria Workers,
Local All, called the agreement "a
great step toward establishment of
sound employer -employe relation
ship"
Including the wage increase, the
cafeteria workers scale will range
from 871a cents to $1.3412 cents an
hour. The union also won a COM
y-fnanced group disqualification
plan, company-wide seniority in lay
offs and voluntary check-of OF dues.
Sources close to negotiations said
the quick agreement was abetted by
the fact the union recently cancelled
it's affiliation with the United Pub
lice Workers of America.
Refused to Bargain.
Last years negotiations fell
through after one meeting. when
GSI refused to bargain with the
union until its officers filed nom
Communist affidavits This precipi-
tated a stormy strike, ending only
when UCW's officers, with the ex-
ception of it's president, filed the
affidavits. The president chose
to resign.
The company at first demanded
that UPWA officials also file the
affidavits before negotiations would
be resumed. Later. an agreement
was reached, and, after long arbitra-
tion, about 750 of the strikers won
back their jobs. GSI had replaced
most of the strikers during the 12-
week Walkout.

Alexandra Hospital
Asked 10 Trim Staff,
Add More Directors

Recommendations that Alexan-
dria Hospital reduce the number of
all types of employees except nurses
and expand membership on the
Board of Directors were made last
night by. a committee of the newly
formed Alexandria Health Council.
The council voted to receive the
report and ask4the hospital Board
of Directors for comment before
action Is taken.
Meanwhile, r. Samuel Luckett,
chairman of the City Council Hos
pital Committee, announced that a
financial survey of the institution
was begun yesterday by the audit
ing firm of Ernst & Ernst. He said
DR.. John r. Clemmons, who last
year conducted a survey Of the
hospital, will be asked to review his
report and bring it up to date. The
Clemmons report criticized the hos
pltal administration and subse-
quently R. G. Whitton, administra-
tor, resigned.
Criticizes Board Statement.
DR.. Arthur ]. Mourot, chairman of
the Health Council Committee which
made the report last night, said it
was felt there was no possibility the
Alexandria Hospital can or will
close, and such a statement by the
Board of Directors was ill advised
and bad public relations" The
board last month said lack of funds
would force closing of the hospital
January 81. The City Council made
a $4,000 emergency appropriation to
forestall the threatened closing.
DR.. Mourot said his committee
strongly recommended" that sug-
gestions in the Clemmons report for
changing the hospitals charter and
enlarging membership on the Board
of Directors "bs carried out im-
mediately."
1T Is felt the failure to adopt
these recommendations is partially
responsible for the present condi-
ton of the hospital" DR.. Mourot
said. ITO make these long overdue
changes special meeting of the
hospital corporation should be
called without delay"
10 Employees Per Patient.
cat the present time there are
slightly less than ITO employees per
patient" the committee reported.
According to hospital administra-
tion authorities this figure should
be less than 150 per cent. It is felt
that the number of employees in
each department, except nursing,
can be decreased without impairing
services or care to the patients"
Dr.-Mourot said that the suggested
reduction would include from 10
to 20 employees.
The committee declared that 80
per cent of all patients admitted to
the hospital pay none or only part
of their bills.
With more careful screening of
patients and more diligent collec-
ton of bills this figure could and
should be reduced" the committee

Ruling Sought
In Hospital Pay
On |ndigents
Health Agency Would
Put Admittunce on
GoIIinger STANDARD

The Office of the corporation coun-
sci will be asked to rule on the
Health Departments proposal that
the city use Gallinger Hospital ad-
mitting standards in agreeing to pay
private hospitals for treating emer-
gency INDECENT patients.
The decision to turn the entire pro-
posal over to the corporation coun-
sci for legal decision was made at
a meeting yesterday between Com
missioner Guy Mason, Budget Officer
Walter L. Fowler. John P. Sander
son, head of the Hospital Permit
Bureau, and DR.. Daniel l.. Seckinger,
deputy health officer.
The proposal from Health Officer
George c. Rutland pointed out that
at Gallinger patients with certain
family incomes can get free care,
while those with slightly higher in
comes are treated and pay the
amount they can afford.
He asked chat the District agree
to pay private hospitals on the same
basis for treating emergency case
patients who meet District residency
standards.
This policy was in effect for three
hospitals with which the city had
contracts prior to July, officials de-
clared. For the last five months,
however, when six additional hospi-
tails came into the agreement, pay
ments to hospitals have been cur
tailed to cover patients who could
not pay any part of their bills, Mr..
Sanderson said.
Mr.. Mason told reporters that
private hospitals must try to collect
whatever money 1t can from pa
tients certified by the Health De-
partment and turn the money over
to the District. For treating these
certified patients, the city pays the
hospitals SO day.
The unusual situation existing
now, health officials pointed out, is
that while Mr.. Mason expects hos
pitals to collect the amount it can
from District-approved patients. the
Health Department is refusing to
approve payment for any patient
who can pay any part of his own
hospital expenses.
Fewer Claims Result.
This, health officials said, has re-
suited in far fewer claims for pay
ment from hospitals than was
expected on the basis of $69O,000
appropriation last year for the pur-
pose
The corporation counsel is ex-
pected to be asked specifically for
ruling on how far the District Is
limited by the appropriation act in
defining the term "indigent." Of
f1cials stressed that payment to the
private hospitals is limited to emer-
gency resident cases.
At least until the legal opinion
is made, meanwhile. the rigid ban
imposed on certifying patients last
July is expected to stand, Health
Department officials said. .-

Mrs. Gizycka Quizzed
Again; Lawyers Ask
To See Porter Papers

Mrs. Felicia GlZycka, who Is con-
testing the will of her mother, Mrs.
Eleanor Patterson, was questioned
further today by attorneys in closed
session. Her own lawyers, mean
while, asked District Court for per-
mission to inspect papers and other
material left by the late Charles B.
Porter, former treasurer of the
Times Herald and financial ad-
wiser of Mrs. Patterson for several
years.
Mrs. Gizycka, a tall brunette
bearing marked resemblance to
her mother, the former owner and
publisher of the Times Herald, was
questioned for six hours yesterday.
She appeared somewhat tired at the
noon recess today after a two-hour
session. The questioning was to
continue most of this afternoon at
the Offices of Ward & Paul, public
stenographers, 1850 Pennsylvania
avenue, attorneys said.
William A. Roberts and Harold A.
Kertz, attorneys for Mrs. Gizycka,
declared in the motion filed in Dis
trict Court today that she believes
the papers of Mr.. Porter would dis
close relevant facts" to support her
contention that Mrs. Patterson was
of unsound mind and the victim of
fraud and undue influence in max
ing the will.
Seeks to Break Will.
Mrs. Gizycka is seeking to break
the will that bequeathed the news
paper to seven of its executives and
left her a $4,000 annual income
along with some property. Mrs.
Patterson died July "a, leaving an
estate estimated at $16,500,O00.
Mr.. Porter, according to Mrs.
Gizycka's attorneys. was actively
engaged" in writing a biography Of
Mrs. Patterson at the time Of his
death September IA in a plunge
from a Clarksburg (W. Va.) hotel
room window.
Besides filing this motion, Mr..
Roberts and Mr.. Kertz asked Judge
James w. Morris to permit them to
question G. Bruce Brooks, a New
York lawyer, at pretrial deposition
hearings as soon as the current de-
position of Mrs. Gizcyka is COM
pleted. Mr.. Brooks was an attor-
ney for Mrs. Patterson.
Judge Morris granted the order
after amending it to provide that
Mr.. Brooks would not have to an
swer questions pertaining to conf
Dental lawyer-client relationships.
There was no opposition to the order.
120 Items Listed.
The motion for permission to in
spect the papers lists 129 specific
items. The general nature of that
material was listed earlier this
month in a deposition of c. F. R.
Ogilby, court-appointed collector for
the Forter estate. In his deposition
however, Mr.. Ogilby merely named
the titles of numerous folders, let
tiers and photographs found in Mr.
Porter's apartment at the Kennedy
Warren after his death.
Among the items which Mrs.
Gizycka's lawyers want to inspect
thoroughly are: A 81, 100000 Cancelled
check, a hand-written manuscript
entitled, "The Most Unforgettable
Character I Have Ever Met" and
numerous folders containing memo
randa and newspaper clippings con-
corning Mrs. Patterson, the late Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean and Others
Attorneys for the Patterson estate
and the seven Times-H Herald execu-
tives have five days in which to
file motions, if they wish, against the
granting of the court order requested
by Mrs. Gizycka concerning the
Porter material.

Aid Program Outlined
As Heart Association
Maps $4,000 Drive
Star Staff Photo.

A Cnree1Old program 10 dlQ VIC
tins of heart ailments here is be-
ing planned by the Washington
Heart Association in conjunction
with a $4,000 fund drive to begin
February 7.
The program was outlined at a
Statler Hotel luncheon yesterday
called to organize the campaign. 1t
will be part of a two-week national
drive sponsored by the American
Heart Association.
Research, treatment and rehabili-
tation are three points of the pro-
posed program here.
Dr. Bernard j. Walsh, secretary of
the Washington association, said
the group now is operating princi-
pally WIN a $4,000 loan from the
national organization. The associa-
ton recently withdrew as a Com
munity Chestsaided agency. It's
current programs include:
Supervision of heart clinics in
seven Washington hospitals.
Provides Follow Up"
A "follow-up" program to check
conditions in the clinics of heart
disease patients treated and re-
leased from hospital wards.
A registry listing these victims,
begun in order to determine COM
munity needs for the fight against
heart ailments.
Operation of an In-Bed Club
through which volunteers provide
services for heart disease sufferers
bedridden for long periods.
DR.. Walsh said that while "all
these programs are worthwhile, it is
agreed that they do not meet the
community's need" Three of the
hospital clinics, for example, he said
lack equipment to provide adequate
'diagnostic services. Several others
are short essential clerical and So
cial work personnel.
Hospitals are unable to supply
these needs" he declared, land
there is no other community source
for them"
The research program should en-
able a committee to approve small
grants here for a special projects
for which there now are no funds
Dr. Walsh said.
Workshop Held Necessary.
The rehabilitation program, he
said, should be set up to enable
patients with limited activity tc
learn vocations and adjust them
selves to their disabilities. A work
shop" to function while many pa
tients still are hospitalized, must
be made available at not too dis
tant date in this city," DR.. Walsh
said.
In addition, the doctor said about
300 children suffering from heart
ailments are unable to take advan-
tage of summer camps because the
camps do not have facilities to care
for them. For $1,000 a year, he said
these facilities could be provided.
John H. Wilkin, jr., is general
chairman of the forthcoming cam
paign and William E. Leahy is CO.
chairman. Mr.. Leahy, District Sc
lective director, pointed out that
heart ailments are the main cause
of reflections in the current draft.
Campaign committees are being
formed, Mr.. Wilkins said. Other
speakers at the meeting included
E. j. Ade, national fund-raising di-
rector for the group; William E
Cotter, vice chairman of the ma
tional group, and DR.. A. R. Conner
it's medical director.
