ment today received a go-ahead
signal from the Commissioners for

night clinic for treatment Of dis
charged Gallinger Hospital pa

to 9 pm. on Thursdays, he said
and will be stated by Gallinger
physicians who will volunteer their
time.
Hopes to Cut Down Returns.
DR.. Rutland, who has been urg-
ing such a service for some time.
pointed out that the clinic should
cut down on the return of chroni-
cally i'll patients to Gallinger and
thus make more beds available for
the already overcroWded hospital.
"One of the great wastes in
medical care Mr. Rutland de-
clared, sis the repeated hospital
ization of patients who are chron-
ically ill.,
Establishment of the plan has
been delayed because of belief
among some District officials that
the service would be expensive, it
was pointed out.
DR.. Rutland explained that
when a patient is discharged
from the hospital he may be asked
to come periodically to the clinic
for checkups. His hospital rec
Ords will be available at the clinic.
To Check on Activities.
Authorities also plan to check
on the patients home and occu-
pational activities to see they do
not engage in any activities that
may aggravate a health condition.
In this way, it is hoped to cut
down or eliminate return of
patients to the hospital.
The clinic service is open to
totally INDECENT persons who pre-
viously have been certified by the
Hospital Permit Bureau as eligible
Dr.. Joseph Fazekas, chief med
ical officer at Gallinger. will super

White House
Repair Project
Committee Members
Irked at Attempt
To Bi-poss Them

The White House renovation
project was taken under study
today by the House Public Works
Committee and several members
made plain they didn't like what
seemed to them to be an attempt
to bypass" the committee in the
matter.
The committee began hearings
on a bill to establish a commission
to supervise the renovation.
Budget Bureau officials were
heard today and Chairman Whit
tington said the hearings would
continue tomorrow with testimony
by Federal Works Administrator
Philip B. Fleming and others.
Representatives Pickett. Demo-
crat of Texas and Angel, Republi-
can, of Oregon wanted to know
why a $5.400,000 supplementary
budget estimate was sent to the
House Appropriations Committee
without any one asking the Public
Works Committee what it thought
about the White House job. ~; /
Sees Ample Precedent.
Arthur B. Focke. Budget Bureau
attorney. said it was felt thea
was ample precedent for this. He
explained that the FWA was con-
sidered to have authority to reno
vate public buildings, SO the only
thing needed in this case was the
money.
Mr.. Pickett and Mr.. Angel COM
mented that this was an unusual
job and something in which the
Legislative Committee should have
a say.
Representative Dondero, Repub-
lican. of Michigan said he thought
making the project available for
open competitive bidding on the
entire cost rather than on the con-
tractors fixed fees, as contem-
plated. might prompt them Ito do
something for the Nation and the
Government. not for the last dol
lar, but for the fame
Suggests Use as Museum.
Mr.. Dondero also wondered
aloud why it wouldn't be more
sensible and cheaper to renovate
the White House for use as
museum and build an entirely new
home for the President.

tee members to the White House

CAB Gets Pan Am Plan
To Use District Routes
OF National AirIines

An agreement under which Pan
American World Airways would
operate direct out of Washington
for South American points over
the National AirlineS route to
Miami was submitted to the Civil
Aeronautics Board today by Pan
Am, National, Panagra airline and
w. r. Grace & Co.. operators of
the Grace steamship line.
The proposal came as CAB ex-
aminers were hearing arguments
on the feasibility of acquisition of
Nationals routes by other airlines.
Nationals principal routes are be-
tween Washington and New York
and Miami and Havana.
Under the agreement signed by
officials of the four companies,
Pan Am would acquire 30 per cent
of Nationals stock. and the Grace
Co. 18 per cent. Interchange of
route privileges would enable Pan
Am to operate through plane serv-
ice out of Washington and New
York to Miami and Latin Amer
ican points. Pan Am and the
Grace company jointly own Pan
agra.
CAB approval would mean that
Pan Am will operate new Strao-
cruisers out of Washington for
Rio de Janeiro. Buenos Aires and
other South American cities, COM
pany officials said. The carrier
already has taken delivery on five
of the big, double-deck transports,
and Is more will be added to the
fleet in few months.
The CAB also has under con-
sideration a proposed stock trans
fer under which Pan Am would
acquire American Overseas Air
lines for about $18,000,00.
1t was agreed that Pan Am
would take over eight additional
Stratocruisers contracted for by
AOA.
Pan Am also has petitioned the
CAB for the right to fly domestic
routes between 13 gateway cities
in the United States.
CAB examiners recommended
last summer that the overseas
carrier be given routes between
Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York and Miami.
The board as yet has not acted
on this recommendation.
