Colorado u. Official Interested
In Go||inger Job at SIS ,000Poy
Potential Stuff Chief
Also Asks Sweeping
. REORGANIZATION

I. Dr. Erode Jensen, 40-year-old
authority on medical education,
has offered to accept the impor-
tant chief of staff position at
Gallinger Hospital if he is assured
a SIS. 900 annual salary and sup
port nf b sweeping reorganiza-
ton plan for the institution.
Commissioner Guy Mason last
night released DR.. Jensen's reply
to the job offer. along with the
physicians report on deficiencies
at Gallinger and his ideas on how
to correct them. DR.. Jensen
made the study here last month.
DR.. Jensen said he is we'll salts
fed with his present position as
director of graduate and post
graduate education at the Univer-'
sity of Colorado Medical School.
But he said the Washington
position offered "a tremendous
challenge, a big job and a great
future for Gallinger Hospital II 1t
could be possible to get the con-
tinuing support of the local ad-
ministration." In a letter to
Health Officer George c. Rutland,
he said these are the conditions
under which he would come here:
l. That the chief of staff job be
a permanent one, Implying Sc
curity."
2. That he have support in de-
veloping the type Of program out
lined in his report.
3. That "in the event I should
come to Washington could look
forward to the establishment OF
a permanent home"
4. That he be offered $4,000 a
year.
Congress has authorized payment
of s9,975 for the chief of staff job,
but the position has not been
classified pending determination
of whether a qualified applicant
would take the job, officials said.
DR.. P. S. Rossiter. who was
slated to retire from the position
last fall, is paid by the three medl-
cal schools here.
Rutland Refuses Comment.
DR.. Ruhland refused to COM
ment on DR.. Jensen's reply.
Asked about the $4,000 stipula-
ton, he said:
1--WE haven't enough money to
attract highly qualified men and
we haven't enough money to keep
those we have. Money is the
answer
In his report, DR.. Jensen struck
hard at low salaries paid medical
personnel and the lack OF an ade-
ouate full-time staff of doctors.
The type of doctor who should
be appointed as a chief Of service,
he said, would be difficult to OBJ
tain for less than $4,000 a year;
the salary would probably be
nearer $4,000" At present, health
officials said. chiefs of service get

Barred Combining Jobs.
DR.. Jensen said outstanding city
hospitals have long realized the
Importance of employing qualified
full-time doctors "at salaries equal

the future" he added, Il could
visualize Gallinger Hospital spend

most deadly enemy"
The Kronheim appointment is
supported by the Judicial Selec-
ton Committee of the District
Bar Association as well as by the
District Department of the Amer
ican Legion.
Persons close to the Senate Com
mittee were predicting last night
that it would ask confirmation
though Attorney General Clark
recommended the Kronheim NOM
nation without waiting for NOM
nations from the Bar Association.
Suffrage Report Expected.
There was no indication as to
whether members of the District
Committee would want to In
quire into reports that Mr.. Kron-
helm, his father. who is promi-
nent wholesale liquor dealer and

Citizens Federation
Endorses Bill 10 CRAM
d.. {. S18,600,000

The federation OF Citizens AS.
sociations last night Endorsed the
McGrath bill which would grant
$ls.6oo 900 ia the District to bal
ance Al top-sided budget after
federation members had criticized
the House or "bungling" the Dis
trict tax situations
In sactlier action. the fedora
tion s6E AHrif l as the deadiine
fof member Associations to turn in
affidavits that their officers and
delegates were. not affiliated with
subversive groups. Those not
doing so face expulsion.
The delegates were informed
that William R. Brown. IS. treas
urer of the West End Citizens
Association, had signed the affi-
davit-which he refused to do
earlier in the week stating it was
"poppycock"-and only a few as
sociations had not sent in the
statements.
Motion Made by Newell.
The motion to indorse the bill
calling for the $18,600,000 grant
and commend Chairman McGrath
Of the Senate District Committee
for introducing it was made by
Clifford H. Newell.
The comment that the House
had "bungled" the job of legis-
lation on the Districts financial
affairs by failing to pass the sales
tax was made by K. P. Armstrong.
r. w. Donnelly referred to the
"absurdity" of the House action.
William A. Duvall declared he
felt that the federation, in fight
ing for the sales tax, was fighting
for something it really didn't want
but knew was the only sensible
answer. The House turned the
sales tax down and now it's up to
them. he said.
Facing the District as a result
of the defeat of the sales tax is
a further cut of $2,500,000 in the
Districts minimum budget. The
House slashed $5,584,0 900 from the
budget when it passed the bill and
the further $2,500,000 cut will
have to be made to bring it into
balance unless additional revenue
Is found which was supposed to
be raised by the sales tax.
Provides For Suspension.
Mr.. Donnelly, chairman of the
credentials committee, asked for
the April / deadline for affidavits
because the constitutional amend
ment setting up the affidavit sys-
tenn had neglected to specify when
they should be turned in.
I'VE plugged up all the holes
in the floor but left the door wide
open," he said. He added that
without a definite deadline. there
was no way to force the delinquent
associations to turn the affidavits
in.
The amendment provides the
credentials committee must notify
the federation of failure of a
member organization to certify
its officers and delegates. The
federation then notifies the de-
linquent association that it has
go days in which to comply. Sus-
pension proceedings follow the
60-day period.
The furore in the West End
Citizens Association came about
when Mr.. Brown, its treasurer,
said there was no question about
his loyalty and he saw no reason
why he Should be forced" to
sign such an affidavit. Association
members called on Mr.. Brown and
persuaded him to sign.

into the hands of the Commu-
nists,"" Walter F. Wasson. associ-
alton president said. Mr.. Was

to sign.

Time Of Crisis

Washington mothers dependent
on relief may be forced to watch
their children go hungry or even
homeless next year.
That Is one of the effects M 4he
sIashes taken in the District budg-
set by the House. These cuts can
not be restored, District officials
fear, unless some way can be found
to raise the revenue expected from
the sales tax before its House
defeat.
In 1850, as a result Of cuts in
the welfare budget, q dependent
mother with three children will
get $l.32 a day to feed her entire
family. That's 80 cents a day for
each.
For 80 cents, milk can't be
bought regularly or meat or eggs
or vegetables.
The same mother is getting
s1.8s a day now or Al cents for
herself and each Of her three chill
dren.
Considered Much Too Low.
Welfare officials considered that
much too low and the Commis-
sioners agreed with them So, IN
the 1850 budget, an increase OF
s289 ,e08 was sought simply to in
crease the living allowance. 1t
did not envisage any increase IN
the number of aged. blind. un-
employables and children needing
help.
The House has cut out the
$3.50 ,908 increase. At the same
time, the number eligible for re-
lief has gone up and is expected
to 70 up even more. There are
S, ,696 relief cases now. including
individuals and families. The
number of cases is expected to
reach $500 by January. 1850.
Here is the result Of the House
cut, together with the increase IN
the number of cases:
A mother with three children is
getting $83 month now for food,
clothing, household necessities and
rent. Welfare officials had hoped
to give her $95 a month in 1850.
She will actually get $74 a month,
if the cut is not restored.
AGED Person Faces Cut.
An aged person living alone Is
now getting $43 a month. This
was supposed to go to $40 in 1850.
Instead it will be cut to $38 a
month.
A blind man now getting $45 q
month will get $40. He was TO
have received $50 a month.
If a mother wants to see her
children fed, she will have to cut
down on the rent money. And
when that happens. she and her
children are evicted for nonpay-
ment of rent.
IF they have no home" We'll
fare Director John w. Tramburg
explained, "the children wander.
Then the police turn them over TO
us and we have to put them in an
institution"
A man suffering from tubercu-
Ilosis and unemployable until he Is
cured will have to watch his chill
dren going without the food they
need to fight of the same disease.
"A man won't watch his chill
dren starve," Mr.. Tramburg said.
He'll beg or steal or run away
first"
Rules Now Rigid.
But the welfare grants must be
cut to match the House cut, he ex-
planned. The relief regulations are
now so rigid that only the most
eligible cases are added to the
rolls. But the eligible ones cannot
be turned away without endanger-
ing the matching Federal money.
The only thing welfare officials
can do is spread the relief money
thinner so it will 60 further.
The House cut also hit the
Districts welfare institutions for
children the aged and infirm and
the feeble minded. The House cut

McGraih Asks Chance
In Gas Light Firms
Century-0Id Charter

Need for change In the century,
old charter OF he Washington Gas
Light Co. was maintained today
by Chairman McGrath Of the
Senate District Committee. dispite
arguments over gas rates here and
in Arlington County.
He agreed with Chairman James
II. Flanagan of the District Public
Utilities Commission that mod
ernization Of the company charter
would not affect rate issues.
The Arlington Civic Federation
last night went on record as op-
posing passage of any such meas
ure. However, the federation asked
that II Congress does pass such a
bill, 1t require uniform gas rates
for the entire Metropolitan Area
and authorize the Federal Power
Commission to regulate them.
Senator McGrath's comment
came after e. j. Boothby, gas
company president, said an ap-
plication for an increase in Wash
ington consumer charges can be
expected within the next IL
months.
Kefauver Questions Move.
The whole issue came to light
before the Senate District Com
mittee yesterday. when Senator
Kefauver. Democrat. of Tennessee,
wanted TO know why the company
has asked for repeal Of two old
clauses In the company's charter
that set maximums on prices for
gas here to the Government and
to private customers.
One of these, adopted In 1915.
fixed 10 cents per 1000 feet of
manufactured gas as the ceiling
on the price to Federal and Dis
trict Government buildings. Dis
trict officials said removal of this
restriction would make only a
slight change In the cost to the
Government.
The other 1915 restriction for
bade any higher rate than rs
cents per 1000 cubic feet to any
private customer, but to this was
added a clause saying that moth
ing In this section should limit,
the powers of the District PUG
to regulate rates. Under this gas
company consumer rates have
been change from time to time.
At present, according to PUG Of
ficials. some charges already are
higher than rs cents, although
the average is less.
PUG Powers Called Adequate.
PUG Chairman Flanagan took
the position that his. agency has
adequate powers of rate regula-
ton, regardless of whether the
1915 clauses are kept or removed.
On the 75-cent limitation clause
of the old law, he said. lit doesn't
make sense that a 33-year-old
standard should be applied"
Senator McGrath, agreeing with
this view, said there is no rela-
ton to reality" today between the
1915 rate limitation and present
valuation facts and procedures.
For one thing. he noted. the 1915
ceiling referred to manufactured
gas, and did not mention natural
gas, now used here.
