Churchill Tells Britain
To Avoid Appeasing

Issues Are As Grove
As at Munich 10 Years
Ago, He Declares
By the Associated Press

LUTON. England, June 90
Winston Churchill today warned
Britain to sheer away from ap-
peasement in the Berlin crisis
with Russia.
He declared the tense situation in
the German city raises issues as
grave as those we now know were at
stake in Munich 10 years ago
when Britain dickered with Hitler.
There is no safety in yielding to
dictators, whether Nazi or Com
munist." he cautioned. He charged
Russia has made up its mind to drive
the Western Allies out of Berlin.
Douglas Sees Bevin.
Just before he spoke, the British
government officially accused Russia
of carrying on a ruthless attempt"
to create "a state of siege" in Berlin
and reiterated the statement that
we intend to stay in Berlin holds
true
The Foreign Office said in an Off
cial statement read to news con-
ference that the Soviet food block
dde. by starving the helpless civilian
population IN Berlin, is aimed to get
political advantages at the expense
of the other Allied powers
United States Ambassador Lewis
Douglas and Foreign Secretary En-
nest Bevn were in conference about
the Berlin situation.
Britain's wartime prime minister
addressed a crowd estimated by
at 100000 persons who
jammed Luton Hoo, historic suburb
of Luton, at a Conservative Party
rally.
Urges Unity and Firmness.
He pledged his party's support to
the Labor government if it acts with
resolution to stay in Berlin. and
asserted that Britain is a united
nation, despite party differences. In
resistance to foreign tyranny
In unity and firmness, he said, lies
the only hope of peace,
we are all naturally anxious
about what is happening in Berlin"
he said. Last month. on May 4,
Mr.. Bevin said in parliament, We
are in Berlin as of right. 1t is our
to stay there
1t is certain that he would not
have said that without having made
sure the United States is equally re-
solved. On the other hand, there
is no doubt that the Communist
government of Russia has made up
its mind to drive us and. France and
all the other Allies out. and turn
the Russian zone into one Of the
satellite states under the rule of
totalitarian terrorism.
This raises issues as grave as
those We now know were at stake
in Munich 10 years ago. 1t is our

Truman Signs Trade
Agreements Act, Hits
0ne-Year Limitation
Pledges to Make New
Procedures Work Out
Despite Serious Defects
By the Associated Press

President Truman signed yes
terday the one-year extension
of the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act which Congress sent
him in lieu of the three-year
continuation the administration
sought.
The measure changes the pro-
cedure to give the Tariff Commits
sion a bigger role in the negotiation
of any new duty-reducing agree
ments which may be sought in the
future.
The State Department contended
the change would wreck the IA
year-old program. Key congress
sional Republicans said it would do
no such thing.
The measure would extend until
June 30, 1949, the act which lapsed
on June II.
Expresses Regret"
In a statement the President ex-
pressed regret" that Congress has
not seen fit to renew this authority
for the customary three-year
period
There is no valid reason for a
one-year limitation which appears
to cast some doubt upon our inten-
tions for the future he added.
The President also criticized what
he called "a new. complicated,
time-consuming and unnecessary
procedure" for the negotiation OF
reciprocal trade agreements. But
he went on:
TT is so essential that the recipro-
cal agreements program should not
lapse. that I have signed this Act
in spite of its serious defects.
"Hlgh National Policy"
st will do my best to make the
new procedures work. AS a first
step. 1 intend to proceed with
plans for bringing other countries
into the general agreement on
tariffs and trade signed with %
countries at Geneva in October,

The President described the trade
agreements program as matter
of high national policy" He added:
When the Act is again extended
next year, trust that the defects
contained in this years extension
will be corrected. in order that the
Act will be restored as a fully
effective instrument of permanent
United States policy"
The new law limits the presl-
dental authority to lower tariffs.

Urges Hospitals Be

But Institutions Must First
Put Their Own Houses in
Order, Editorial Says
By GEORGE Beveridoe

Washington hospitals must be
paid the amount it costs them
to treat all patients if huge
financial deficits facing most of
them are to be wiped out, an
editorial in the June Medical
Annals of the District Medical
Society, released last night, de-
clared.
At the same time. however, the
editorial said hospitals first must
put their own houses in order
The Hospital Council of the Ma
'tional Capital Area estimated last
week that deficits among member
hospitals in l947 totaled about
$4,000.
Urges Withdrawal from Chest.
In blunt terms the Medical An
mails editorial advised:
That Washington hospitals
should withdraw from, the Com
munity Chest Federation and carry
out their own drives for funds.
2. That Group disqualification,
Inc, should make full pay settle

their contracts, even if this re-
quires that their rates be raised"
3. That the District Medical So
ciety should support legislation to
make available funds for full pay
ment of the costs of hospitalizing
INDECENT patients eligible for care
by the District.
4. That the society should oppose
the tendency" for hospital boards to
drop physicians from their men,

commented, every effort should be
made to draw physicians closer to
the management of their institu-
tons
Cost System Recommended.
But before any of this can be
done, steps must be taken to deter
mine what the costs actually are,
the editorial declared. 1t said the
best method would be a unified cost
accounting system. to be adopted
by all voluntary hospitals. to pro-
eide an accurate statement of costs

In other words" the editorial
went on. IF minimum of adequate
hospital care may be furnished for
