Arlington Hospital to Ignore
Florists Attack on Concession

Anderson, who comedies his institu-
ton is nonproft in more ways than
one, said that the Board of Direc-
tors last night voted to leave the
flower box right where 1t is. The
board, Mr.. Anderson declared, has
been given an opinion by its legal
adviser that operation Of the box
does not violate the hospitals char
ter.
Mr.. Anderson pointed out that
the flowers are sold only within
the hospital and are used only
within the hospital. This. the board
feels, does not represent unfair
competition with the florists.
Mr.. Anderson said the $40 to $50
a month profit which the. hospital
realized from the flowers won't over
come the institutions financial
deficit, but that everything helps.
He added that only two Of Ar
lington's dozen or so florists had
bothered to contribute to the hos
pitfalls campaign for funds. The
campaign, which started last May
has realized only Al per cent OF
an $4,000 goal.
And, added Mr.. Anderson, the
hospital has offered to let the
Northern Virginia florists operate
the box, but they have refused.
A spokesman for the florists con-
ceded that the offer had been made
but said the profit per member
wouldn't be worth while.

florists for removal Of the box Il

PURGE Of Conservatives.
BY the As,eeiotsd Press

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. 90
Michael Straight. editor of the New
Republic Magazine, today called for
a Government "purged of honest

erals"

the Government be placed behind
reform, that the roadblocks to re-
form in Congress be celared away"
I'VE need a Cabinet" Mr.. Straight
said, which believes in the Presi-
dents mandate anad which works to
carry it out"
To-day" he continued. majority
rule in the Congress is frustrated by
two forces, the lobbies and the Dixie
crats.'
He urged the new Congress Ito
find out why the last one failed"
and called for an investigation of
the "housing, utilities, tax, trans
portation and oil lobbies-to expose
in full light Of day the men behind
these lobbies, the millions they spent
and the legislators they worked
through IN the last two years"
August Heckscher, editorial writer
for the New York Herald Tribunt
and ADA board member, told the
conference that both Of the great
political parties have a part to play
in development Of an enlightened
social order.

Arlington Hospital expects to
continue to sell flowers despite a
warning by the Northern Virginia
Florists Association that it is going
to file a charge that the hospital
is guilty Of ultra vires'-which isn't
q new variety Of orchid.
The Northern Virginia Florists
Association completely discarded the
language of the flowers and spoke
in grim legal fashion in a letter to
the hospital demanding that a
flower vending box be removed from
the hospital lobby.
The ultra vires." according to
Arlington Attorney John Paul Jones,
who represents the florists, simply
means that the hospital, a nom
profit institution, has gone beyond
the scope Of its powers" in selling
pretty blossoms for use in the
hospital.
The refrigerated flower box was
installed and is maintained by a
Washington florist, w. v. .Steddom,
who also operates similar vendors in
Alexandria and Garfield Hospitals.
Mr.. Steddom has paid the required
licenses to the county.
The Virginia florists, however,
feel that because patrons Of the
self service box must pay = hospital
employe and because the hospital
furnishes free electricity to operate
the box, the whole thing becomes a
matter Of unfair competition.

Judge Rules Portion
OF Virginia Small Loan
Act Unconstitutional
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 20.-One
portion of Virginias small loan law
has been declared unconstitutional
by Judge Leon M. Bazile in Han
over Circuit Court, it was learned
today.
The part thrown out by Judge
Bazile is in section 4168-A (46)
Code of Virginia, approved by the
General Assembly in 1914. 1t pro-
vides that a small loan company,
when 1t sues for recovery on q note,
may not file in evidence any finan-
cial statement obtained from the
borrower.
Judge Bazile's opinion. entered in
the case Of Personal Finance Co.
Of Richmond VS.. James A. Tyler,
marked the first time the small loan
companies have won their argument
on this point in a State court.
His ruling paralleled an earlier
finding by Federal Judge Sterling
Hutcheson that this portion Of the
law is unconstitutional.
Evidence in the Hanover County
case was that Mr.. Tyler borrowed
$3.50 from the Personal Finance Co.
in September, 1s47. and signed at
the time a statement that his total
debts amounted to 1923. of which $83
then was owed to the finance COM
pany.
In March, 1948, he filed a volun-
tary petition in bankruptcy in Fed
eral District Court here, listing debts
OF 81 ,318 and no assets. Among the
debts so listed was his remaining
debt to the finance company.
In an effort to prevent this debt
being wiped out by Mr.. Tyler receiv-
ing a discharge in bankruptcy, the
finance company filed suit in the
Hanover Circuit Court alleging that
Mr.. Tyler had obtained the $50 loan
under false pretenses.
Mr.. Tyler answered with de-
murrer stating, in effect, that Vir-
ginia's small loan law prohibited the
finance company from introducing
as evidence the financial statement
he had signed in September. 1947.
The finance company conceded that
without this evidence 1t could not
hope to establish the charge of false
pretenses.
Judge Bazile's opinion served to
overrule Mr.. Tyler's demurrer, and to
declare the small loan laws prohibi-
ton against the introduction of such
evidence to be unconstitutional.

its own collections, accordingto Sis
ter Marie, administrator.
Mr.. Morrill's statement said there
is mutual agreement" among the
three groups that an early meeting
should be held. He quoted James G.
Capossela, administrator Of Emer-
gency Hospital and vice president Of
the hospital council, as assuring him
that no semi-indigent patients re-
quiring hospital service will be de-
MED such services while the subject
is under review"
"The tri-partite agreement be-
tween the individual hospitals, the
HSA and the Chest Federation con-
tinues in effect" he declared.
Mr.. Capossela, who also heads =
new committee Of the council, COM
posed entirely of administrators,
said he intends to call meeting of
that group next week, after "prelim-
mary discussions" with Mr.. Morrill,
and HSA officials. A special HSA
committee also will be named to
represent the hospital council as a
whole, according to Robert p.
Bryant. executive secretary.
Mr.. Capossela said he thinks hos
pitals should remain firm" in their
efforts to return to themselves as
quickly as is feasible the functions
of admission, certification and COL
lection from Chest-aided patients,
who repay what part of the Chest
funds they can afford. Payment of
funds contributed by the public,
however, should be handled by some
central agency outside of hospital
control, Mr.. Capossela asserted.
The resolutions by the two groups
brought to a climax outstanding
differences between the hospitals
and HSA.
Existence of the agency was criti-
cized strongly in the metropolitan
health and hospital survey two
years ago. The report called HSA a
"misfit" in the hospital picture and
said many of its functions rightfully
belong to hospitals.
1t added that maintenance Of the
agency as an admitting center puts
IAN unjustifiable burden upon the
sick poor in the amount of travel
and technical detail with which
they must cope in order to secure
hospital aid when sick"
Mr.. Bryant said that, in recent
survey conducted by his group
among hospital councils throughout
the country, 46 Of 48 said they op-
Grated with no such central admit
ting agency as HSA. Both of those
that did report such centers, he
said, are controlled by the hospitals.

tionally important because it is q
major part Of the CIO movement to
isolate and suppress Communist
line labor leaders.
1t is also meaningful in that it
may provide a model for dealing
with other councils that don't go
along with national CIO headquar-
ters, as required by CIO rules. Very
few nonco-operative councils re-
main, however.
The New York City organization,
OF which James Durkin Is president
and Saul Mills is executive secre-
tary, was formally accused by a
committee Of the right-wing New
York State Council.
The charges grew partly out of
the fact that the City Council failed
TO reject Henry Wallace's third
party and to join in support of the
Marshall Plan of aid to Europe. The
C1O Executive Board, which has
authority to discipline the councils
rejected the third party and in
dorsed the Marshall Plan.
