Plan 10 Reorganize
Health Department
Opposed by Mason

A proposal by Health Officer
George C. Rutland to reorganize
the District Health Department by
COMPRISING is bureaus into six
divisions is strongly opposed by
Commissioner Guy Mason, it was
learned last night.
The reorganization, first proposed
by DR.. Rutland when he submitted
his budget estimates for fiscal 1850
to the Commissioners September 81,
is calculated to increase the effi-
cheney of the department.
Mr.. Mason, who is the Commits
sioner in charge OF the Health
Department, told The Star he will
not approve the plan. He said he
did not think such q sweeping
shakeup should be included in the
budget estimates.
DR.. Rutland is Of the opinion
that the efficiency reorganization
should be carried out soon because
of the imminent retirement Of three
Of his bureau chiefs. If the re-
organization goes into effect at the
time of their retirements, DR.. Ruh-
land would not have to replace the
men.
The proposed Health Department
setup would provide for a large
Division Of General, Medical Care,
including the following bureaus
which now operate independently:
Preventable Disease, tuberculosis,
Venereal Disease, Cancer Control,
Nursing. Mental Hygiene, Labora-
tory, Housekeeping Assistance and
Out-Patlent Relief.
Another department would be the
Division of Medical Inspection Of
Schools. 1t would include school,
dental and crippled children's serv-
ices. The other divisions would be:
Administration, including Vital Sta
tistics: Food Inspection Service. in
cluding Public Health Engineering,
and the Hospital Permit Bureau
Dispensary and Clinics would oper-
ate independently.

Officials Drop Plan
10 Build Underpass
Al 4th and Avenue

District officials have abandoned
plans to place a s4,5O0.00O traffic
underpasS at Fourth street, John
Marshall place, Pennsylvania and
Constitution avenues NV, it was
learned last night.
Instead. the District will concen-
trate on plans to eliminate the traf-
flc congestion at the busy. intersec-
ton by setting up raised concrete
islands for traffic characterization
and removing the StreetcarS from
that part of Pennsylvania avenue.
Prime consideration in the de-
cision to abandon the underpass was
the price The financially embar-
rassed District government cannot
stand the $4,000, 900 it would cost to
run an underpass beneath the in
tersection. The channel plan would
cost only about $4,000 and is fav-
ored by all District officials con-
cerned. including Highway Director
j. N Robertson and the Vehicles
and Traffic Department.
The project stalled temporarily
because the Public Utilities Com
mission-hampered by two transit
fare cases in recent months-has
not had time to reach a decision on
how the streetcars should be re-
routed.
The PUG held preliminary dis
cussions Friday on Capital Transit's
proposals for rerouting the street.
cars but Commissioner James Lau-
derdale said a decision will not
come until after the Washington.
Marlboro & Annapolis Motor Lines
rate decision is out of the way.
Capital Transits president, E. D.
Merrill, also has been outspoken
against the underpass proposal be-
cause it would present physical
difficulties to streetcars and elimin-
ate several car stops where the
underpass would have taken the
streetcars underground.
Two plans have been advanced by
Capital Transit which would permit
removal of the tracks at the bottle
neck. One plan would set up double
tracks on Sixth street and Indiana
avenue connecting Pennsylvania
avenue tracks with Route 40 tracks
at Fifth and D streets NV. The
other proposal would eliminate all
tracks on Pennsylvania avenue east
of Ninth street and including the
Sixth and c street loop.
The first plan calls for removal Of
all tracks on Pennsylvania avenue
between Seventh and First street
and on First street and from
around Peace Monument. Street.

Would Man Clinic at
GoIlinger Under Plan

A widespread reorganization Of
cancer services at Gallinger Hospital
which would offer patients the
pooled resources of Washington's
three medical schools has been pro-
posed to the schools by DR.. Jay
Mclean, director of the Health De-
partment's cancer control division.
The plan would expand Gallinger's
services to cancer. patients to the
extent that Washington probably
would have the finest cancer con-
troll and treatment system in the
United States, DR.. Mclean declared.
The director said he has con-
ferred with the heads of George
town George Washington and
Howard University Medical Schools
on the proposal and added that they
have taken it under study.
Proposals Listed.
DR.. McLeans proposals are:
/. To add a diagnostic clinic to
the present cancer detection clinic
at Gallinger, headed by a board Of
tumor specialists nominated by the
heads Of the three medical schools
and the Health Department.
2. To organize a treatment serv-
ice with specialists in brain, breast
and chest surgery, radiology, gyne-
cology and x-ray with the person.
mel to be nominated by the three
schools and the department.
A cancer patient wishing to enter
Gallinger under the proposed reor-
ganization plan would go through
the followinf procedure:
First, after entering the hospital,
the patient would be assigned to re-
ceive the service Of one of the three
medical schools. If cancer Is sus-
pected, the patient would be pro-
cessed through the diagnostic clinic
where diagnosis would be made and
treatment recommended.
Would Aid Teaching and Research.
The patient then would be sent
back to the medical school services
originally assigned for treatment by
the proper group Of specialists.
Medical students, nurses and ply
sicians throughout the city would
benefit by the proposed cancer setup
because all phases of diagnosis and
treatment and the city's largest
pool of cancer patients would be
open for teaching and research.
Gallinger now discharges about 300
cancer patients year-more than
any other hospital in the District.
The plan has been recommended
by the American College of Surgeons
for national application, DR.. Mclean
said, and the proposals already are
in effect in New York's Memorial
Hospital where he once was a resi-
dent in surgery.

SOS Basic Salary
'For District Nurses

A move to standardize the basic
salary Of several hundred general
duty nurses in Washington hospitals

on tentatively by a special commit
tee Of the Hospital Council Of the
National Capital Area, it was
learned last night.
While the $205 figure is consid-
erably above the basic salary listed
at some hospitals, the proposal is
not expected to result in much Of 8
take-home pay raise for most o1
the nurses. Take-home pay, under
the plan, would be controlled BY
whether nurses eat their meals, live
and have their laundry done at the
institutions.
The recommendations - GOVERNS

tion-have been presented to the
councils executive committee. They
must be acted on by hospital Off
cials before going into effect.

each month, with deductions of S25
for room, $50 for food and IS fol
laundry service if offered, according
to Arkell B. Cook, Garfield Hospital
administrator, who heads the CON-
mittee.
At present, there is no standardi-
zation about the method Of pay
ment, officials said. One hospital
for example, pays the nurses $145
month, but also gives them COM
plete maintenance" Another pays
5000, but does not offer rooms, meals
or laundry.
Under the new proposal, all nurses
would start at the basic $2O5 rate
with deductions made for those who
benefit from the food, room or laun.
