Hopkins Official j Asks
State and Local Aid for
|ndigents' Clinic Care
By the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, May 10.-The pres
ident of the Board of Trustees OF
Johns Hopkins Hospital today urged
State and city aid for clinic care
given to indigents by voluntary,
nonproflt hospitals.
The trustees president, w. Wal
lace Lanahan, said Maryland's vol
untary hospitals, of which Hopkins
is the largest. are running out OF
funds to pay for treatment to indi-
gent out-patients.
MARYLAND and Baltimore, he ex-
planned, pay up to $40 day for
needy persons who are hospitalized
dn- PATIENTS, but for all practical
purposes" pay nothing for out-pa-
tient care.
Mr.. Lanahan continued:
"At present the voluntary hos
pitfalls of the State are paying in
full an annual bill of about $1,000,-
900 for medical care to Maryland's S
INDECENT and medically INDECENT out
patients.
Cites $1,000, 1000 Expenses.
"If the community permits the
voluntary hospitals to exhaust their
limited resources by paying the to-
tai cost of this care, there will be
no alternative at that time but to
curtail this essential medical service
to those who can least afford to
pay"
The Hopkins official estimated
that about 100000 visits will have
been made to the out-patient de-
partments of Baltimore's voluntary,
non profit hospitals by the end OF
the current fiscal year, June 30.
Hopkins, he said will get about At
per cent of these visits
Expenses for this fiscal year at the
Hopkins out patient department will
be about $1.000,0O0, Mr.. Lanahan
reported, leaving deficit of about
100000. He announced Saturday
that the hospital faces total def
cit of 100000 at the end of the
fiscal year.
Weiss Backs Appeal.
Mr.. Lanahan was joined in his
appeal for State and local aid by
Harvey Weiss. director of Sinai Hos
pital and chairman of the Council
on Government Relations for the
Maryland District of Columbia Hos
pital Association.
| Mr. Weiss asserted:
The Federal Government has
accepted the principle of paying
/ full costs for both impatient and
out patient care for those for whom
/ it has assumed medical responsible
ity. The voluntary hospitals of
Baltimore and Maryland feel that
/ the State and local units should
also contribute toward the out
patient care of those persons it
accepts AS a responsibility of the
/ community as whole"

12,000App|aud Stunts
At Virginia Air Show;
Wind Curtai|s Events |

Strong crosswinds and gusts forced
curtailment of an air show at the
Washington Virginia Airport, Bal
ieys Crossroads, Yesterday, but about
10000 spectators found much to ap-
plaud.
Several Of the country's better
known stunt fliers thrilled the crowd
with a variety of stunts and speed
maneuvering in the 18th Langley
Day show, sponsored by the Wash
ington Air Derby Association, Inc.
Only three of seven entrants took
to the air in the one preliminary
contest for amateurs, because of the
wind. This was in competition for
precision landing.
Parachute Jump Cancelled.
OF these participating, Samuel j..
Butler of Washington, flying a
Piper cruiser, captured top honors
with a landing average of 40 feet
9 inches from the target spot. He
and the runnerup, David Floyd
of Alexandria, in a Luscombe
whose average was 80 feet, received
trophies. The third contestant, who
received honorable mention, was
Dick Schroeder of College Park,
flying Cessna and averaging 104
feet.
Because Of the dangerous wind,
officials also Cancelled some of the
professional stunt flying events,
;,,,I,,l;,r IN nm foo+ oro ob,,t a
Jump by Jack Huber, who has made
more than 1000 jumps. In a short
talk over the public address sys-
tenn, Mr.. Huber explained that
aviation enthusiasts insist on the
exercise of Judgment to promote
flying safety under all weather
conditions.
Nevertheless, the crowd gave a
big hand to the performers pre-
sented under auspices of Haskell
A. Deaton of Charlotte, N. c.
Plane Picks Up Man on Car.
The spectators were enthusiastic
about Bud Thrasher's boarding an
airplane in fight from the top of
an automobile travelling IS miles per
hour. He grabbed and swung on to
a ladder dangling from the plane.
The crowd sympathized with his
brother, Grady Thrasher. in three
unsuccessful attempts to land
plane on the small platform above
the car. The craft was put down
on the platform as the car spec
along the runway but Mr.. Grady
could not risk cutting his motor to
stay there, on account of the gusts
Another feature of the program
was the execution of high-speed
maneuvers by Woody Edmondson in
a special Psi Mustang. Mr.. Ed
mondson. who is Gov. Tuck's per-
sonal pilot and holds the speed
record for flights between Washing
ton and Havana. roared across the
field at speeds we'll above 500 miles
an hour
Other aerobatics included smoke
patterns, comedy events, the perfor-
nance in twin Ercoupe-two planes
bolted together-and the appearance
of crate" of the 1923 pusher type

ton to those mentioned. included

guilty before Judge Nelson. He was
sentenced to 30 days in Jail and a
fine of 500, with an additional 80
days to be served in lieu of paying
the fine. The Jail term was sus-
pended.
During April and May, Judge
Ellen K. Raedy sat in the United
States Branch No one asked for
jury trial on a slips possession
charge when arraigned before her.
On a plea of guilty, the usual
penalty was a $50 fine or so days in
Jail. Almost all the defendants we're
able to produce the money
In the 83 cases. there were As
pleas of guilty, including those of
the l3 who avoided Judge Nelson
by asking a jury trial and then
changed their minds.
In seven cases. $50 collateral was
forfeited on failure of the defend
ants to appear in court.
Fourteen Cases Dropped.
Three defendants were held for
grand jury action on the charge Of
operating a lottery.
Six motions to quash the arrest
were granted.
Fourteen cases were dropped by
the United States attorneys Office,
presumably because it was felt con-
victions could not be obtained on the
evidence available.
Six cases still we're pending at the
end Of the period.
Two cases went to trial, and con-
victions resulted.
On the guilty pleas and convic-
tions after trial. the penalties meted
out in addition to Judge Nelson's
sentence were as follows:
Fine of $50 or 60 days in jail-40
Fine of $75 or rs days in jail-2.
Personal bond not to repeat the
ofenSe taken-2.
Fine of $50 or 80 days-1.
Fine of S25 or 80 days.
From this it can be seen the usual
practice among the numbers small
fry is to avoid Judge Nelson if pos
sible, plead guilty before another
judge, pay the fine and charge it off
to the breaks of the game.
Men described by police as among
the large operators in given Sec
tion of the city are convicted in
District Court from time to time on
charges of operating lottery and
jailed for more than year in some
cases.
Police officials have said, however,
the real big shots remain safe in
Maryland and Virginia headquar-
tiers, so the best they can do is con-
tinue to harass the writer's, run
ners and minor operators. ,

Natures Children
HORIZONTAL
BY Lillian COX Athey
Rat-Eared Fox.

In East Africa, a favorite pet of
both old and young is lively bat
tered fox. In Nyaturu, where these
animals are fairly abundant, they
are known as Bill pronounced
Beelee). Natives search the jungles
for the cubs. The demand is steady
because they are friendly, harmless
and gentle with children.
When very young, fox babies are
covered with silky coat of smoky
gray hair. A thick, soft, wool lining
makes the coat very comfortable
when the cool searching upland
winds blow.
No resentment or fear is in evil
dence when the small ones are re-
moved from their cozy home. The
bright black eyes look quizzically
into yours, Satisfied you mean no
harm. the baby snuggles close to
you and goes fast to sleep.
When you get your pet home you
cannot decide whether it is juvenile
excitement or an abundance of good
spirits which causes the youngsters
to bump into every object. APP
parently 1t is not caused by poor
vision.
Like all babies, Beelee must have
his night feeding He broadcasts
this fact by loud, penetrating hiss
Some of the babies are born with
or acquire wide repertoire of calls
and sounds. Timid guests enjoying
pleasant dreams have been sc
startled that their yells of fear have
been added to the night noises
After a few weeks of milk, the
baby is given chopped meat, Al
home his mother would have in
troduced him to juicy grub. As
the cub grows older he is most
happy chasing moths and butter
flies. He hops gaily after portly
grasshoppers and becomes an expert
grub hunter. At six months he Is
almost the size of his father.
The great black ears are re-
sponsible for the Bat-ear's name
Snowy white hairs edge the ears
His alert face is glossy black, the
short black hair always kept wei
groomed. The muzzle is shiny black
too. Black extends to the forehead
to between the eyes, and black or
the cheeks. The slender legs are
black from the knees down. The
black tipped bushy tail is archeo
when the cub puts on a show Of
being fierce.
'Beelee has great fun Chasing

in teaching children uhat

domestic fowl, who pay no attention
to his youthful antics. When tus-
selling with young puppies, Beelee
loses all interest when the game
gets a little rough. Since his teeth
are feeble, meant only for crunching
soft insects, he cannot return in
kind the puppy's playful nip.
On a moonlight night the call of
the jungle is too strong to resist.
Beelee leaves his happy home to
join his parents. The adults hunt
in packs. They can overtake a
moose but cannot catch up with an
antelope. The tribe clean up great
termite nests and they turn over
every stone for much-enjoyed MILL
