boro where they were booked and
posted collateral of $7.45 each.
They were released for hearing,
tentatively set for June 8.
Both shows at the theater went
on as scheduled with other en-
ployes handling the crowd.
When it announced that it was
going to fight the blue law. the
theater management said I'VE be-
lieve it is invalid in view of other
activities in the county-baseball
and auto racing and other things" L"

Analysis Of Plan
ToCeftify Chest
Patients 10 Start
Hospitals Seeking
To Handle Functions,
Make Collections

A Boston hospital consultant
was to arrive here today to begin
a "factual analysis" of the con-
troversial proposal that Washing
tons hospitals take over most
functions of the Community Chest
Federation's Hospital Service
Agency.
The agency's chief job is to
certify patients for disqualification
under the federation's program
and to pay private hospitals for
treating them.
The Hospital Council Of the
National Capital Area last Novem-
Der made known that the hos
pitals. want to take over the job
OF certifying such patients for
Chest aid and to make part-pay
collections themselves from the
patients.
The Hospital Service Agency, in
turn. charged that some hospitals
already had "nullified" agree
ments in effect between the hos
pitals and the Chest by refusing
to accept HSA certif1cations.
No Reports on Progress.
Ever since. negotiations have
been under way between hospital
and Chest leaders, largely through
q special Chest committee headed
by Chester Morrill,. The commit
tee has announced no reports OF
progress.
1t is known, however. that hos
pitfalls feel they can handle the
certification and collection jobs
at much smaller administrative
cost than could HSA-largely
through medical-social service ac-
tivities already in existence at the
hospitals.
The Boston consultant. Robert
p. Lane, presumably will study
these facilities, all phases Of the
HSA activities and the relative
costs involved.
Mr.. Lane. who recently COM
pleted a health survey in Bos-
ton, will gather his factual data
this week and then prepare a
report to assist all three groups
concerned with Chest-supported
disqualification in reaching final
conclusions on this proposal" Mr..
Morrill's statement said.
Refuses to Comment.
One hospital leader, asked to
comment on the development, said
he had been pledged not to go
beyond the press release" in dis
cussions.
The Chest federation also has
completed an analysis to deter
mine how many needy patients
whose hospital bills have been
paid partly by Chest funds in
the past-it can expect the Dis
trict government to care for in
the future. y
Officials refused to comment on
its findings until the HSA con-
troversy is settled, but have indi-
Gated they expect disqualification
expenses paid by public contribu-
tions to be smaller as result of
a recent Commissioners ruling
liberalizing the city's policy for
treating INDECENT patients.
The ruling said in effect that
the District can pay private hos
pitals for treating patients who
can afford to pay part of their
bills, but it limited the patients
to residents of the District who
are emergency victims.
