The next move in the case Of the
10 INDECENT tuberculosis patients who
have refused to leave Freedmen's

colored women at Freedmen's. At
the same time the city heads have
made up their minds the District

Glenn Dale, where their care would
cost less, because of q shortage OF

Federal institution.

pressive exhibi tof gifts from chill

The gifts are not expensive. But
they are the product of many hours
of painstaking labor. They include

comic books" especially prepared
by a Hiroshima printer to convey

District backing for the project, but
if that fails, will try to raise funds

would support the associations move
for parking facilities, it would try
to dissuade the group from con.

Loan 10 Finance
District Studied
Horon Asks Officials
To Report on Plan to
Borrow From y. S.
By Don S. Warren

Talk of Federal loan for per-
manent Improvement and more dis
tinctive uniforms for Metropolitan
police comprised the latest develop
ment In Congressional study of the
city's big budget.
The requested addition of 205 men
to the Metropolitan police force
also came in for favorable comment.
Chairman Koran Of the House
subcommittee in charge of the Dis
trict supply bill said he had asked
city officials to submit reports on q
Treasury loan plan to finance con-
struction needs that can't be bud
geted.
Calls for Study.
He called on Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler and Corporation Counsel
Vernon e. West to give their at
tention to the problem. The Cap
per- r-Cramton Act, which authorized
SIC, ,000, 900 in loans for park and
recreation area site purchases, was
suggested as a guide.
Both Mr.. Horan and the Com
missioners are pushing for a sales
tax to meet the $6,000,000 deficit in
the pending budget of $101 ,4O0, 600
Mr.. Horan indicated the loan plan
will be considered as means of pro-
viding improvements that otherwise
would have to be postponed.
Chairman Koran, an advocate of
merger of some of the police forces
operating here, said it was too easy
to confuse Metropolitan. Park,
White House or Capitol Building
officers, as to uniform. He cited the
case of q member of Congress who
thought he was stopped by a police
man only to discover the Officer"
was tourist guide.
Cost Being Considered.
He said his subcommittee was SER
iously considering doing some
thing about q more distinctive
police uniform, but that, because of
the shortage of District funds, it
might not be possible now. To make
even partial change in the uni
forms of the Metropolitan police, he
said, would cost a considerable
sum-perhaps as much as 100000 or
more.
Mr.. Horan said he had formed a
pretty high opinion" of the Metro
politan Police Department under
the command of Supt. Robert j.
Barrett. He said he was convinced
Maj. Barrett is on the job and his
heart is in his work"
He praised the tendency he found
to get policemen back on beats
and to relieve uniformed officers
from clerical tasks. In this connec-
ton, he voiced personal approval
of the move to raise the Metropolitan
force to 1000 men.
The hearings are adjourned until
Monday morning. At that time Fire
Department and court funds will be
considered. Health and hospital
budget requests are to be reserved
to the end of the closed hearings.
