and treatment of cancer patients
uncovered through the clinic.
The new improvements include
moden-type control rooms between
X-ray chambers, where doctors can
keep close watch on patients under
treatment.
DR.. Ralph M. Caulk, chief of
radiology, said about one of every
100 patients who come through the
center are found to have cancer.
He recently reported to the Ameri-
can College of Surgeon 400 cancer
cases treated at Garfield between
1888 and 1912 which apparently
have been completely arrested" for
five years or more. These patients,
he said, all were treated with X-ray
and radium, supplemented in some
cases by surgery.
One reason for expanding the
clinic, Mrs. Fuller explained, is that
1000 patients are on an examination
waiting list. Another 831, she said,
are returning periodically for fol-
low-up" examinations.
All patients are asked for an
initial examination fee of $40
which, officials said, does not cover
expenses of the clinic operation.
Fees of SO and $40 are asked of
those who return for six-month and
annual followups. Persons unable to
pay, however, get the tests free.
Miss Wanda Ethridge, who admits
persons for examinations at the
clinic, said about 40 persons day
will be handled, beginning this week.
The tests, she said, include complete
physical examinations, chest X-rays
and laboratory tests.

The Public Housing Administra-

The study was launched owing
to a continuing decline in occupancy
and growing financial deficit, an
official said.
At present, $500 women Govern

-Four of the original dormitories
were closed some time ago, three
later having been converted into

One closed dormitory remains

Miss Patton, Director
|0f Garfield Nursino
School, 10 Retire

Miss Shelby w. Patton, who en-
rolled in nursing training at Gar
field Hospital in May, 1918-and has
been there ever since-will retire
Sunday as director of the hospitals s
school Of nursing and nursing serv-
ice.
In her 80 years at Garfield, Miss
Patton has seen many changes in
the nursing profession-but greater
ones in the advances in medicine.
Nurses routine duties are about
the same as they always were," she
told reporter. But nurses have
many more responsibilities now. Ed
ucation has given them a greater
insight into medicine and a greater
load to carry"
In some ways, though, it is easier
now, Miss Patton added. In 1918,
for example, student nurses used to
work IL hours a day, with two hours
off. Now they work eight hours.
And students used to carry nearly
all the load Of a hospitals nursing
duties. 1t wasn't until 1884, she re-
called, that the hospital had any
general duty nurses.
Now, Garfield's staff includes z
% head nurses, u gen.
eral duty nurses and 4 assistant
head nurses. In addition, the school
of 100 students makes additional
help available during training.
Miss Patton was made head nurse
and night supervisor at Garfield in
1922. She became assistant director
of nursing five years later and was
named to her present positions in
October, 1914. Graduating from
Catholic University in 1912 with a
degree in nursing education. She
is a member of the American Nurses
the Graduate Nurses
and the League of
Nursing Education.
Miss Patton, who has lived at
Garfield for many years, said she
plans to return soon to her home
at Huntsville, Ala.
Tomorrow afternoon, her COL
leagues will present a tea ito honor
Miss Patton for her many years of
constant devotion to the nursing

Realty Man Urges Government
To Finance Low-Cost Homes

A Silver Spring real estate man
has written all members Of Con-

program for low-income groups
which might require subsidies.
Author of this unexpected appeal

Mr.. Carlin explained that while
he is primarily concerned about re-

unable to obtain housing, he is will

bill submitted in the Seventy-linth
Congress by Representative Beall
Republican, of Maryland. That
measure would need revision, he
said, but In general 1t would serve
as a basis for relief.
Mass Scale Proposed.
Mr.. Carlin would authorize the
Government to establish a veterans
housing authority to go into the
housing business on q mass scale, "
purchasing land and equipment and
financing the houses over 40-year
period at an interest rate Of 3 per
cent or less.
He proposes to forbid the rental
or resale of the houses except to the
Government or to veterans who
qualify under the housing au-
thority's regulations. He also would
require a down payment, say S per
cent of purchase price. to help weed
out chiselers.
Under this plan, the dealer says,
the head of a low-income family
could buy an $500 home and, by
monthly payments of $35, pay of
interest, principal, taxes and insur-
ance.
Big Rise In Cost Sited.
"As matters stand now" said Mr..
Carlin, "the payments over 16 years
would run SOS a month. The truth
is though, that there are no $500
houses to buy. Those that used to
cost 1850 now bring $l2,5oo and
s13,500."
"The reports Of the Government
agencies probably will show
an increase in the amount Of new
housing construction" he wrote,
but an analysis of these reports
will show that none Of this con-
,truction is within the rental or
means of the man earn

within this wage bracket are rent

standard set up by mortgage loan

Seven persons appeared today be-
fore United States Commissioner

as headquarters and channeled its
daily receipts through at least IS

Shortly after pm. yesterday,
the l4-man raiding party converged
on the premises. 1t. Blick had an
arrest warrant for Joseph A. Chase,
43, colored, of the 1900 block of
Second street NV, whom he de-
scribed as having police record of
numbers game offenses. Receiving
no answer to their knocks, the raid
ers broke through the front door
with a sledge hammer.
Second Door Smashed.
They found no one on the first
floor, so they went to the second,
where another locked door was
given the sledge hammer treat
ment, 1t. Blick said.
Chase and four of the other six
persons arrested were working by
electric light on numbers game re-
turns in stuffy rear room, accord
ing to 1t. Blick. Heavy draperies
covered the windows; an electric
fan was operating on the floor, and
a radio was tuned to d station
broadcasting horse race results, he
added.
1t. Blick said an adding machine,
a large amount of cash. quantity
of numbers slips and few horse
bet slips were found in the room.
Chase was charged with setting
up a gaming table, operating lot
terry and possession Of lottery slips.
He was held under $4,000 bond.

1t. Blick said police undercover
men had not made plays with
marked money. but had observed
pickups by runners for the Seventh
street organization.
He said Cunningham usually
drove an automobile which was
parked in the vicinity of Sew
enth and K streets NE, and from
which parcels were passed to a truck
driven by johnson, in which Chase
was a passenger. Chase then would
carry the parcels to the Seventh
