Citizenship Session
Hears Plea for EASING
OF Nationality Laws

A change in existing law to al
leviate hardship cases of natural
lied Americans who 60 abroad
and face loss of citizenship here
was advocated yesterday by Mrs.
Ruth B. Shipley, chief of the
passport division of the State
Department.
Mrs. Shipley spoke at the Fifth
National Conference on Citizen
ship. which opened a five day ses-
sion at the Hotel Statler. Under
the joint auspices of the Justice
Department and the National Ed
ucation Association, it is attract
ing delegates from more than
500 organizations.
Mrs. Shipley pointed to "the
unexpected cruelty and injustice"
of sections of the Nationality Code
of 1910 relating to involuntary
loss of nationality. She listed
these causes for this loss: voting
in a political election in foreign
state; accepting or performing
the duties of any Office under
foreign government for which
only its nationals are eligible and
living two or three years in ones
native land or for five years in
"a third country.
Many Voted to Eat.
She said that in Hungary, Ro-
mania and other countries. voting
saved many from starvation by
enabling them to keep their food
ration cards. Yet, she said.
these people lost their greatest
treasure-American citizenship"
Mrs. Shipley asked why the
American Government should
make stateless persons of nat
uralized citizens just because the
calendar rolls up five years resi-
dence abroad?" She said Ameri-
ca might take a lesson from the
British. who always have had
world wide interests and realize
the Importance of keeping loyal
British subjects.

ton of the District, presided at

Gen. Young Declares
District Needs More
tuberculosis Facilities

A considerable expansion" of
the Districts tuberculosis care
facilities probably will have to go
in the budget within the next
two or three years, Engineer Com
missioner Gordon R. Young said
yesterday.
Gen. Young viewed the project
as a fairly expensive" one.
Meanwhile. he said. he has not
yet decided what his recommenda-
ton will be on proposal to close
the Upshur Street Hospital, where
expensive repairs to the heating
system are needed.
$4,000 For Boilers.
Commissioner John Russell
Young is reported prepared to go
along with DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger
in trying to keep the rehabilita-
ton center for tuberculosis pa
tients open. despite necessary re-
pair costs, including 1900 for
the boiler system.
Gen. Young said Washington
also needs some additions to its
facilities for treating GONZALES
cents, not necessarily tuberculosis
sufferers only, but that he did not
know how pressing this need was.
He pointed out the big trouble
with the city's handling of tu-
berculosis is that the number Of
beds is so small in comparison
with the number of cases that
persons who might be cured If
treated in time do not get care.
Construction Costs High.
For this reason, he said, he con-
siders expansion Of tuberculosis
treatment facilities a necessity.
But he said that a good deal of
construction money would be
taken from the 1852 budget to pay
for projects started in 1851.
Those contemplated include six
schools, the Home for the Aged
and Infirm at Blue Plains, and the
sewage treatment plant. All these,
Gen. Young predicted. would call
for large sums to continue or COM
plete in 1852 and would not leave
very much over for starting new
projects.
