Gorfield's Hard Choice

Garfield Hospitals action in virtually
shutting its doors to INDECENT patients Is
drastic indeed But, when the alternatives
which the hospital faced are considered,
1t is hard to see what else the institution
could do. For, according to its officials,
the only other choice was to close down
the hospital entirely-a prospect Whlcn
already threatens the Alexandra Hospltai
and one which no community can accept.
With deficit for last year Of more than
5000 900 and another, though smaller one,
expected this year, Garfield-in COM
mon with most of the voluntary lnStltu-
tions-has been up against nnanclal
crisis that only drastic measures could
meet. Although the hospitals look forward
to Increased reimbursement for care OF
indigents as a result of the promise OF
higher payments by the Hospital Service
Agency (from Community Chest funds)
and by the District government drom tax
funds), hospital authorities assert that
even the larger payments will not cover
all of the expenses.
Under a contractual agreement with the
District Commissioners, the hospitals are
REQUIRED to take INDECENT cases OF an emer-
gency nature. In the past they have also
made it practice to treat nonemergency
indigents and to collect later from the
District. Similarly, by arrangement with
HSA, Chest-sponsored patients have been
treated. upon certifcation by HSA. The
Chest has been paying $3.50 day for these
services, although it was estimated that
the average cost to the hospitals last year
A1o Loxy ThnSf fnnhS
were not enough to meet the needs this
year, the payments have been reduced
during recent months to $6.62 day-or
less than half of cost. HSA has agreed to
raise the daily payment to $11 next year
provided the current Chest campaign
reaches its goal.
Actually, Garfield contends no patient
will suffer under its new policy, for it will
refer rejected patients to Gallinger, the
city unsupported institution. Whether
Gallinger could handle the additional load
If all the-voluntary hospitals followed Gar
fields example is another question. And
whether the hospitals could handle more
effectively than HSA the whole question OF
passing on admittance OF Chest-1nanced
patients is also a debatable question. All
of these problems serve to emphasize the
gravity of the situation with which volun-
tary hospitals here-as elsewhere-are face
to face.
This is a public health matter that is
OF vital concern to the whole community.
It is obvious that the hospitals cannot solve
their problems without help. The public
must buckle down and do its share-at
least Though generous support of the
Chest and insistence on adequate allot-
ment of tax funds for care of tax-eligible
patients.

Tomorrow's ChuIIenqe'

In an address to the Economic Club OF
New York, Alfred P. Sloan, jr, chairman
of the board of General Motors, has offered
q timely reminder that our current pros
perity is not likely to continue indefinitely
on its own momentum. American enter
prise, as he sees 1t, and as most economists
see it, may keep going at high speed, with
full employment, well into the 195Os, but
the day is coming when it probably will
have to adjust itself to marked slow
down.
Mr.. Sloan cites a very good reason for
this. 1t is simply that the supporting
forces" of our economy are partly "syn-
thetic in origin and nonrecurring in
character" That is to say, our prosperity
has been brought about in considerable
measure by abnormal factors the
shortages of war, by large capital invest
ments, by foreign relief and by develop
ing rearmament program, in the aggregate
taxing our productive capacity to the
limit"
But what will the situation be like five
or six years from now when the synthetic
and nonrecurring supporting forces may
have pretty much spent themselves? What
will happen when our friends abroad re-
cover reasonably we'll and our present vast
volume of exports takes nosedive? What
will be the outlook when and if we get
peace settlement sound enough to permit
a sharp cut in our arms output? What
about corporation earnings and full en-
ployment when the American people have
satisfied their hunger for things like auto
mobiles and washing machines? What If
supply begins to overtake demand? In
terms of profits and jobs, what will be the
status of our prosperity then?
These and similar questions are implicit
In Mr. Sloan's assessment of our economic
future. They explain why he has seen fit
to warn of "tomorrow'S challenge" to
American free enterprise. They explain,
too, why he has appealed for three things
to meet that challenge-frst, "as never
BEFORE" private industrial craftsmanship
for "the welfare of the people as whole;
second, action by universities and scien-
tifc institutions to promote prosperity
making progress by expanding "funda-
mental knowledge through pure research; !;
and third, Federal policies calculated to
create "the climate of opportunity"
Mr. Sloan's recommendations are broad,

Miqhtiest Cruiser

The commissioning of the Navy's most
powerful heavy cruiser, the U. s. s. Des
Moines, adds to our fleet speedy, versatile
warship designed to protect our carriers
and our shipping lanes in fast-moving
future war. Although some 10000 tons
lighter than the large cruisers of the
27,500-ton wartime Alaska class, the Des
Moines has the most formidable arma-
ment of any cruiser ever Launched. And,
If unofficial reports are reliable, she may
be the fastest cruiser afloat
Planned before wars end, the Des Moines
has undergone drastic changes in design
as a result of new naval developments in
aerial and submarine warfare. All of her
defensive and offensive characteristics. are
not known, of course. But the Navy has
permitted disclosure of the fact that she is
the first naval vessel to carry completely
automatic battery of rapid-f1re eight-inch
guns. She has nine of these formidable
guns, capable of firing four times faster
than any gun Of such large size has been
able to do in the past. As reconnaissance
ship, raider and fighter, this new cruiser
will be valuable asset to the fleet.
To what extent the Des Moines has been
transformed into submarine killer" ship
has not been revealed. The Navy has let
it be known, however, that the trend is
toward use In antisubmarine warfare of
special killer-type cruisers, equipped to
hunt down and destroy that latest threat
ened scourge Of the seas, the schnorkel-
equipped submarine. 1t is apparent that
the cruiser, like naval warfare itself, is
undergoing gradual change. The Des
Moines is proof that this type of warskip
still has an important role to play in our
defense scheme.

but something like them will have to be
spelled out and followed If "tomorrow's
challenge" is to be handled in way that
will prevent another great depression.
Even though we may continue prosperous
for some years to come, that challenge
needs to be studied and anticipated
now. Ever since the wars end, the Soviet
Marxists have been predicting the i'm
minent collapse OF our system. They have
been wrong so far; it is up to us, as
Mr.. Sloan intimates to make sure that
they remain wrong.

Criticizes Art Critics

To the Editor of The Star:
The people who follow the happenings in our
local art world have been alerted as to what
to expect from the third annual exhibition OF
works by artists of Washington and vicinity
This year it may be more important exhibl-
ton than in previous years, due to the fact
that only nineteen works of art out Of one
thousand were chosen by unique three-man
jury which completely disregarded the theory
that fifteen million Frenchmen can't be
wrong.
The fact that this has occurred should be
thoroughly understood so that those who at
tend the show who are not familiar with such
turbulent, irregular procedure may view the
chosen few works with an understanding eye.
Also, the public needs to be clearly informed
that many submitting artists revealed sports
mans willingness to accept compromise to
allow one Of their entries to be shown. 1t may
appear more or less like an indoor outdoor
fair, but it allows the show to go on despite the
jury's harsh verdict.
To add to the injustices already bestowed
on many excellent local artists, now the other
cheek must be turned when reading the re-
Gently issued invitations and discovering
blunt, vivid effort <to call attention to the
presentation of refused works" at this eleventh
hour.
Juries might apply the art Of subtleness,
courtesy and diplomacy by venturing further
into generalization. Might 1t be that juries
are in a state of deterioration rather than
artists? Here is an opportunity to let the public
decide. MARTHA MOFFEIT BACHE.

Letters to The Star
Old Apartments and Rents

OlQ Apartments ana NentS
To the Editor Of The Star:
Many apartment houses are at least 20 years
old and more. They do not have many Of the
modern conveniences Of newer houses; more
repairs are needed in older houses; some loca-
tions are not as desirable as Others In the
majority of cases. taking these things into
consideration, an adequate rent Is already be-
ing paid.
I would like to bring to the mind Of the
Rent Control Board these known facts: During
five or six years. starting with 1912, there was
absolutely no redecorating done; repairs were
held to minimum and tenants were forced
to have made the most necessary ones them
selves. Switchboard and elevator service were
very sketchy. If they had some one to give the
service, all right-if not, tenants were supposed
to be satisfied and treated to the overworked
alibi that there is war on and they
couldn't get help. Despite the fact that there
is D. c. law that no building over four stories
Is to be operated without an elevator, many,
many times tenants whether ailing Oh we'll, had
to walk up t. or 6 flights, or even higher.
Frequently there was a lack of heat or hot
water due to fuel shortages, which, of course,
no one held against the landlord. The FORE
going are all services contracted for with the
renting of an apartment. Throughout these
years tenants made little complaint, taking the
war into consideration.
The point am trying to make Is this: Al
though no stipulations of contract were lived
up to except for roof over ones head, did
any landlord come forward and say II will take
or 10 or IS dollars less rent?" They ac-
cepted the same rentals as when these services
were part Of the picture and must have saved
great deal of money during that time on
lack Of redecorating alone. Now that the nor
NAL services are again in order, the landlords
are loath to give up the wartime restrictions
and their wartime-sized profits, and are max
ing quite a noise about it.
I think the Rent Control Board should make
thorough Investigations to make sure that ten
ants are getting value received" for their
money, instead Of granting the right to land
lords to raise rents indiscriminately. Or better
still, to uphold the rulings of no increases, to
avoid inevitable, postinf1ation depression.

Republic of ireland Bill

The impending severance OF 1relandS
last link with the British Commonwealth
of Nations through the Crown has far
reaching implications. It involves the
basic setup of the Commonwealth itself
and presents a challenge to Common
wealth craftsmanship to evolve new con-
stitutional formula more in accord with
changing realities.
The right of the Government of Fire to
quit the Commonwealth Is indubitable.
Ever since the enactment of the Statute
of Westminster generation ago, each
member Of the Commonwealth has been
virtually sovereign, free to leave this VOL
untary association whenever 1t so desires.
Some legal link is, however, necessary, and
this has hitherto been common allegiance
to the Crown. In Irish eyes, however, the
Crown is distasteful symbol of an un-
happy past. Indeed, in the present con-
stitution of the State of Fire, the Crown
is not mentioned. But the problem has
been sidestepped by the so-called External
Relations Act, whereby the British King
is authorized to act for the Government
of Fire in external matters, to negotiate
treaties for it, and to accredit Irish diplo-
matte representatives abroad.
This is more than legal fiction. The
External Relations Act has enabled the
State of Fire to qualify as a member OF
the Commonwealth, with attendant bene-
fits such as preferential trade treaties, and
to permit citizens of Fire to be counted as
British throughout the world. This is
especially important for Irishmen residing
in Britain itself and the Dominions, who
thereby avoid being classed as foreigners.
The bill now introduced into the Irish
Parliament by the Costello Government,
with practical assurance of speedy passage,
repeating the External Relations Act and
declaring Republic of Ireland" threatens
to jeopardize the country's status within
the Commonwealth and deprive it of the
attendant benefits, unless some constitu-
tional formula can be devised permitting
Ireland to remain within the association
minus formal allegiance to the Crown.
The dilemma is sharpened by the fact
that parallel case has arisen with India,
whose new constitution envisages its even
tual status as an independent sovereign
republic"
The interesting point is that neither
Ireland, India, Britain, nor the other Do
minions want the Commonwealth to be
disrupted in this fashion. The benefits
of mutual association have become crystal
clear in our troubled. postwar world. And
| at the recent Commonwealth Conference
| the whole problem was exhaustively con-
sidered and discussed. The practical and
psychological difficulties Of altering or
abandoning the concept Of mutual alle-
| glance to common Crown are admittedly
great. Yet, where all parties involved
earnestly seek solution, it would seem
that a way out will be discovered. The
marvellous dexibility and adaptability
already shown in political evolution from

Dock Strike Here and Abroad

Frances economic structure, the author
ity of its government, and national re-
covery aid from the Marshall Plan are
again challenged by the latest develop
ment in the strike campaign deliberately
waged by the French Communist high
command at the behest of Moscow. Cou-
pied with our own shipping tieup, which
must cheer the Kremlin, it is serious
threat to the European Recovery Program
as whole.
Still staggering from the effects of the
coal strike, French economy is now dealt
a fresh body blow by the general walkout
of dock workers scheduled for next Mon
day and involving all French ports. Indeed,
the longshoremen at the Channel port of
Dunkirk have jumped the gun by staging
their own walkout In the same militant
fashion as the coal miners Selling the
docks, they are barricading the area and
defying troops and police to oust them by
force of arms Such defiance is tantamount
to insurrection, already designated as such
by the government in the coal strike, when
similar resistance to constituted authority
was offered and overcome by the armed
forces only after bloody clashes and costly
sabotage by the striking insurgents. ii.
The aim Of this French strike is as clear
as it is openly avowed by the Communist
leaders Of the longshoremen's union. It is
to prevent the import of goods, especially
coal, vitality needed to prevent an acute
crisis in industry, electric power, and heat
ing which the loss OF domestic coal produc-
ton from the recent strike renders other
wise unavoidable. The malignity of this
maneuver is intensified by the fact that it
comedies with the showdown of exports
from the United States due to our own
longshoremenS strike that has tied up
most ports along the Atlantic Coast
Should that strike be prolonged, French
economy and the economy Of all Western
Europe would suffer from delays in the
delivery of American coal and other Mar.
shall Plan goods, even If the French gov
ernment acts decisivefy and breaks its own
longshoremens strike. In the circum-
stances, the AFL leaders of our shipping
tieup will be reckless in the extreme If
they turn deaf ear to the appeal of
Economic Cooperation Administrator Hofr-
man that they clear the way for ERP
cargoes.
1t should again be emphasized that
Frances strikes are purely political in
character and with aims that are nothing
short of revolutionary in scope. That has
been clearly established by revelations
published by the French government that
the coal strike was not only instigated but
financed by the Cominform, the organ Of
International Communism which is wholly
dominated by and directed from the Krem-
lin. There is no reason to doubt that the
same backing is behind the present strike
of dock workers in France. In our own
country, the tieup is definitely not the
work of Soviet-inspired labor leaders; but
1t nevertheless plays into Moscow's hands.
