House Unit Is Told
Only District Pays
For Their Core

Efforts are being made to get
Maryland and Virginia authorities
to pay for their INDECENT patients
cared for at Freedmens Hospital
here.
To the surprise of a House APP
preparations Subcommittee. hos
pital officials explained that the
District pays the hospital SO a
day for its INDECENT patients, but
nothing is paid by States that
have patients there.
At the insistence of the sub
committee, hospital officials sub
mitted records showing that 10
per cent of all patients admitted
are indigents from Maryland and
4 per cent from Virginia.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Fogarty, Demo-
crat, of Rhode Island questioned
hospital officials at length on the
INDECENT question throughout
hearing on the institutions
budget for next fiscal year. The
transcript of the hearing was
disclosed today.
To Report Back.
DR.. Charles E. Burbridge, hos
pital superintendent, promised to
continue efforts to obtain some
help from the nearby States for
financial support of poor patients
from there. He said he will re-
port back to the subcommittee
next year.
Henry H. Baird, hospital budget
officer. told the committee the
institutions officials had made at
Itempts to get the nearby COM
munities to pay but I'VE have not
been too successful"
"A lot of counties feel" he ex-
planned, they should not reim-
burse unsupported institutions
We are now exploring possibilities
on a broader plane by contracting
the State health officers to get
corporation"
Forty per cent of the patients
Iat Freedmen's are from outside
the District, the subcommittee
was told by DR.. Paul B. Cornely.
medical director.
They just come to Freedmen's
and the neighborhood counties,
like Prince Georges, because in
those vicinities there are no
facilities for Negroes" he ex-
lplained.
Improvements Needed.
An increase in the laboratory
rate and some further increases
N special services are under con-
sideration, DR.. Burbridge told the
subcommittee. But he said there
was no recommendation to raise
the rate of 50 for a private room
and $3.50 for a bed in a ward.
Many building improvements to
the hospital are needed. witnesses
Explained, including flreprooflng
and changing of dangerous floors.
The lack of a conductive" floor
ling in the main operating room,
DR.. Burbridge explained, makes it
dangerous from possible ether
explosions.
Actually this is health haz-
ard" DR.. Cornely explained, be
cause if one walks across the floor
with nom onductive flooring, one
lis apt to create an explosion, and
lit actually has happened. We
were fortunate that no one was
hurt"

operators generally will not raise
their prices by as much as they
could raise them" under the new
restaurant regulation effective
April i.
A Washington operator, ex-
pressing concern about rising food
costs, said even in the face of
them he couldn't charge more be-
cause consumers cant pay it."
Another asked for subsidies.
500 Hear Officials.
About 500 restaurant proprie-
tors met with District and ma
tional price control officials in the
Maynower Hotel. They heard an
explanation of Ceiling Price Reg
ulation II, issued March Is, which
establishes a controlled markup
or food cost per dollar of sales"
in place of the blanket January
26 freeze.
Marion w. 1sbell, Office of Price
Sterilization restaurant chief, in
predicting that most operators
would not make maximum raises,
said many complained to OPS
that they cant raise prices be-
cause they don't have enough
customers at the prices we are
charging now"
This problem, however, is one
of lack of dollar volume" rather
than price control, Mr.. Isbell de-
clared,, adding that the only So
luton would be a regulation re-
quiring people to eat 80 per cent
more meals in restaurants.
Il am sorry to tell you I don't
believe we could issue a regulation
like this, or, if we did. that the
American public would obey it,"
the price official asserted.
Holds Regulation Enforceable.
Mr.. Isbell contradicted news
paper reports that he had called
the regulation mot enforceable. "
He predicted that OPS inspectors
would be able to enforce it simply
and quickly" by checks on res
taurant records. He also urged
a flair trial. for the new rules and
said OPS is counting on 100 per
cent cooperation"
District Price Director Vincent
A. Holmes told the meeting he
felt the restaurateurs would find
the regulation "fair and equitable,
and the best that can be devised"
"It takes you out of the squeeze. :"
he asserted.
Robert J. Wilson, executive
vice president of the Washington
Restaurant Association, which
sponsored the meeting, declared
his group will seek "some amend
ments which will make this order
workable"
Plans Daily Clinics.
The restaurant association will
hold daily clinics from 2 to 4
pm. to assist members and also
will provide forms necessary in
complying with the regulation,
Mr.. Wilson announced. The
clinics will be at association head
quarters, 2003 I street NV.
Purpose of the regulation is to
permit restaurants, cafeterias and
other public eating places to raise
their food prices to reflect in
Icreases in food costs. They must
reduce prices, however, when food
costs drop and prices may not
reflect a higher markup than that
used during the base period. which
