Forum on Alexandra Hospital
Asks for Grant of $4,000

An immediate $4,000 appro-
|priation by the Alexandria City
Council to the Alexandria Hos
|pital was recommended last night
by group Of citizens who at
tended a forum on the hospitals
financial condition.
The overwhelming vote for the
appropriation was made after
representatives of the council and
the hospitals board Of directors
stated their positions IN the cur
rent controversy between the two
bodies. The council wants to re-
activate a~citizens' committee to
resurvey the hospital and the hos
pital board feels that a similar
survey two years ago has pro-
vided the necessary answers to the
institutions recurring financial
headaches.
Many who attended the meet
ing In Carter Hall were members
of the Alexandria Hospital Corp.
After voting in favor Of a $62, 900
council appropriation. the meet
ing went on. record in favor of a
new committee to work out a
permanent formula for city pay
ments to the hospital in addition
to regular Department of Public
Welfare cases. The new commit
tee would include two councilmen,
two hospital board members and
three at large members selected
by the other four.
Fund Based on Losses.
When a new survey was recon-
mended by the council two weeks
ago, the hospital board of direc-
tors said no. The board claimed
such a formula had been worked
out by the Citizens Committee
and recommended on December 9,
1949.
Mrs. Malcolm D. Lamborne, jr.,
member of the hospital board
last night quoted from that report:
1--WE (the citizens committee)
therefore propose that the city
should pay a lump sum grant of
go per cent of the medically in
digent loss or the net overall loss
of the hospital. which ever figure
Is smaller"
: BY using this formula retroac-
tive to May, 1949, the hospital
board figures the city would now
owe approximately $4,000.
Fact-Finding Committee.
Mayor Franklin p. Backus said
1t was the councils position that
the citizens committee was pure
ly a fact finding body created by
council for its information and
has no other significance"
He declared the Council has
paid the hospital $108, ,309 SO in
the past 18 months for hospitals
zation of INDECENT patients, but
acknowledged that the Council
felt a financial responsibility be-
yond the usual welfare cases.

Montgomery Group
Undermining Schools,
Ex-NEA Officer SAYS
by the Asseeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 8. DR.
Gonna Mowery. former president
Of the National Education Associa-
ton, told the Baltimore Princi-
pals Association that several
pressure groups are trying tc
undermine the Nations schools.
She cited Maryland's Montgom-
cry County as one place where
they have been at work the last
two years.
DR.. Mowery said a favorite tech
nique of the groups is to say they
are seeking a return to the three
RS" in education-reading, writ
ing and arithmetic. She said they
always are complaining that
schools cost too much, that they
have too many frills and fads.
What they really are seeking,
DR.. Mowery said, is an expansion
Of censorship over teachers. They
are trying to get legislation for
teacher loyalty oaths in every
State.
The head Of the Parents League
for Curriculum Improvement in
Montgomery County, which has
frequently criticized School Board
policies, described DR.. Mowrey's
statements as "preposterous."
G. Donald Meid. league presi-
dent. said the principal aim of
his group sis to better prepare
children for what's ahead Of them,
which isn't entirely a sugar.
coated existence"
Denying that the league is try
ing to bring about censorship over
teachers. Mr.. Meid said:
I'VE don't know whether in the
brand of democracy advocated by
DR.. Mowrey. facts and truth
amount to much-she and others
like her don't have much regard
for truth in their pronounce
ments."
Mr.. Meid pointed out that re-
cent newspaper articles have quot
ed NEA officials as saying Mont
gomery County is not among the
areas where schools are being at
tackled by anti-democratic forces.

A job is never too tough for
