Hospital Funds

Washington. Aug. 18-tAP)-
An expanded hospital and health
center construction program will
be possible for Mississippi if the
House passes a bill which tn c
Senate approved last week.
This bill doubles and extends
the 5-year hospital program
which Congress launched back
in 1916.
It's passage would mean that
the total federal contribution to
the states would be doubled and
that most states would put up a
J smaller proportion of the total
for a project.
At present Mississippi must put
up $4,000, 600 to get a federal con-
tribution of 81 100000 Under the
new bill if it puts up $4,000, 900,
the federal contribution would be
around $4,000, 900.
Under present law the govern
ment is contributing 5000, 600
a year for five years, ending
June 30, 1851, with the states
putting up two-thirds of a prof.
ect's cost, the federal government
one-third.
!. The new bill would hike this
to $150,0O0,0 600 a year and states
could get from one-third up &c
two-thirds of the cost of a prof
ect. States with higher per cap
tia income would receive smaller
proportionate contribution
Southern states, having lower per
capita incomes, thus would get
about tWo-thirds of the cost of q
project.
Under the present setup Mis-
sissippi-whieh is number one
among the states in number OF
projects under way-received 81
100000 for the fiscal year which
ended June 30, making possible
a program OF SO, 900.
Now, under the Senate bill,
Mississippi would be allotted S4,-
494, 900 yearly and would put up
only $2,247, 600 for an annual con-
program of Sc, TAI 600.
Up to the present time. under
the existing program, Mississippi
has 81 approved hospital or health
center projects costing a total of
SCI $4,000. of which the federal
contribution has been Sc, 990, 900.
Senator Stennis D-Miss) tried
without success, to make the bill
retroactive so that Mississippi
would receive a greater federal
contribution for projects already
under way.
He contended that if this
weren't done, Mississippi, in ef-
feet, would be penalized in rela-

Three hundred men in Consti-
tuition Hall last night proved there
/ is nothing to this business of sing
ing in the bath tub if you give
them a glee club. The occasion
was the first Glee Club Jamboree
ever to be held here and the pro-
gram promised it would be an
annual affair. The sponsor, the
National Press Club, can be proud
of it's achievement in getting to-
gether six male glee clubs to pre-
sent program of such quality
and extent. It was an event that
made history in the city.
How heartening it Is to know
that so many busy men liked to
sing good music sufficiently well
to give of their free time for the
task of rehearsing. All six clubs
have enviable regulations, built
up through years Of hard wor:
and determination. They are by
no means amateurs, although
music is not the profession of
many of the members. They
work seriously. They fulfilled the
prediction Of John c. O'Brien,
president of the National Press
Club. who said, in a short speech
before the program began:
Everybody likes to hear men
sing; 300 trained men singing to-
gether ought to make a memo
rable evening""
The massed singing at the
beginning and ending of the pro-
gram was thrilling, showing, as
it did, polish and feeling as well
as JOY in performance. Master
of ceremonies was William E.
Coyle, a member Of the Press
Club Chorus. He gave a brief his
tory of each club, as its members
filed onto the stage for their
group of numbers, and introduced
the conductors and the accom-
panists.
First to make a solo appearance
was the George Washington Uni
versity Glee Club, DR.. Robert
Howe Harmon. director, with
Grace r. Harmon at the piano.

whose annual concerts are fea-

Hall management came into the

portion that described darkness

ers in a zestful performance of

The moist, warm air drifts at

Oddly enough, the passage over
