LANCER Sidetracks Bill
Ito Aid D. T.. Private,
|Non-Profit Hospitals
By Don S. Worren

Government aid in the rebuild
ing of Washington's private non
profit hospitals, blocked yesterday
in the Senate, probably will be
considered there again soon.
In it's present form, however,
the bill faces some determined
Opposition and could be blocked
again by any Senator If consid-
cred on a consent calendar call.
The House-approved measure
was sidetracked in the Senate call
of its consent calendar yesterday
Iby Senator LANCER, Republican. Of
North Dakota. who insisted that
the District be required to pay
interest on advanced funds.
When some District Committee
members tried for a compromise,
Senator Johnson, Democrat, Of
South Carolina objected.
He Says 1t Changes System.
This bill changes the entire
system Of our aHotments to hos
pitals," he declared.
He said he might ask that the
bill go over to the next session Of
Congress, but expressed Wiling
ness to discuss the question with
other District Committee mem
bers.
Under the bill, the United States
would be authorized to advance
up to $133 million to aid in hos
lpital rebuilding. Non-profit hos
pitfalls not in the Washington Hos
pital Center plan could receive
grants up to so per cent of the
value of improvement projects.
The District government would
repay 80 per cent of the loan over
80 years.
Senator LANCER Protests.
Senator LANCER protested that
the States must repay, with in
terest, even disaster loans made
to them. Senator Hunt, Demo-
crat, Of Wyoming. replied that all
affected Washington hospitals are
non-profit and care for patients
coming from beyond the District
boundaries. And Senator Taft,
Republican, Of Ohio, reminded
Senator LANCER that many of the
States are getting much higher
outright grants than the District
under the Hill-Burton Hospital
Aid Act.
Senator Hunt brought out that
District hospital facilities are
inadequate and that planned i'm
provements cannot be made under
the Districts limited access to
FUNDS under the Hill-Burton Act.
Georgetown Bill Approved.
The Senate passed and sent to
the House a bill to improve the
gateway to Georgetown" This
involves the transfer Of land near
Rock creek, east of the intersection
OF Pennsylvania avenue and M
street NV, between the Govern
ment and filling station to aid
IN the Georgetown approach.
The Senate also sent to tns,
House bills to raise the numerical
limit on the size of the White
House police force from 1873 to ITO,
and to give garage keepers a lien
provision to enforce collection of
their bills for storage and repairs.
Also passed was a bill to permit
employment of extra guards to
protect paintings and other ex-
Ihibits under the supervision of the
smithsonian Institution.

p By John v. Homer

Senator O'Conor, Democrat, o1
Maryland, who comes up for re-
election in 1852, has decided to
make a county by-county tour OF
his State Immediately after Con-
|gress adjourns.
The Senator announced today
that he plans a personal tepCrt
to the people" on his legislative
stand in the past three sessions
Iof Congress, but he described the
"trip as non-political.
Mr.. O'Conor has not formally
announced his candidacy for re-
election to the Senate. bu: it is
a foregone conclusion that he will
run for a second term. He faces
the prospect of serious opposition
in the Democratic Party primary
next spring, however. And if he is
chosen the Democratic nominee,
he still will encounter opposition
from the Republican Party in the
November election, 1852.
A possible opponent within the
party is Representative Sasscer, of
the 5th congressional district. Mr..
SaSscer is being urged to run for
the Senate by a group of promi-
nent Maryland Democrats at odds
with Senator O'Conor. The Rep
resentative has not committed
himself but is reported to be
keenly interested in the possibility
OF seeking the nomination.
Senator O'Conor said he will
be breaking precedent" in making
the tour of every county of Mary
land. He described it as "ad-
mittedly an unusual step"
The statement added that Sena-
tor O'Conor has undertaken to
obtain an expression of views of
persons throughout Maryland by
sending out questionnaires period
Iically. He said more than 10000
citizens have been queried in this
manner and he reported that "a

rumor that William N. Oats, AS

they had no information substan-

the best compromise that could
be obtained among personnel off,

widely divergent views on how far
management should deal with en-

The end result of the new pol

This is because overtime pav.

Also, the July / retroactive fea.

the conferees adopt some kind o1

OF course, the difference ir

Few Protests Heard
From Buyers Over
Rise in Beef Prices
By Hermon +. Schoden

Il 4llC AOuoCWhE u1biIIldLt IcdC-
| tion to new beef prices remains to
be seen, but most grocers seemed
convinced today that buying
habits. being what they are, will
undergo few changes.
New Office of Price Stabiliza-
ton ceilings were slapped on only
yesterday, increasing the price OF
some popular cuts and lowering
them on some of the more fancy
tidbits.
They are meant to give the
dealer little better break by in
creasing prices on faster-moving
commodities and lowering them
on the slow-moving items which
supposedly had been selling at
bargain rates and sometimes at a
loss.
When all the changes were
posted the average honest butcher
had to agree with the average
housewife that, up or down,
prices still are too high for the
average budget.
New Headache Arises.
One of the new regulations re-
stores prime grade meat to its
proper status. Heretofore, under
OPS, prime and choice have been
Jumped under the same price
Butchers now have a new head
Iache of properly marking these
. grades.
i Round steak. one of the most
popular of delicacies, now is SELL
ing at 81 IA a pound for choice
and $1.18 for prime cuts at many
stores. a rise of 4 and 8 cents
respectively.
But they'll keep on buying it,
said one optimist, People go for
; those cuts without bone or waste. u
i He wasn't so sure about porter
, house. T-bone and sirloin steaks
although there has been a reduc-
4 ton ir the choice grade of these
cuts.
i Slow Sellers.
/ Chain stores were quoting por-
Iterhouse, T-bone and club steaks,
formerly selling for $1,24. at $1.20
for choice and $1.34 for prime.
These meats usually are slow SELL
ers in Washington (and should be
anywhere else at those prices.
Sirloin, formerly SLIT, is selling
Iat SLIP for prime and $l.08 for
choice:
/ Rib roast. another popular
seller. has taken a jump. Prime is
selling for 81 cents and choice
for 80 cents, as against a former
price of 50 cents.
! The ever in demand ham
burger is holding its own at IS
cents. Corned beef fell from 70 to
IN cents. and brisket tumbled all
the way from rs to Sc cents
which. according to one conscien-
tious butcher, is still too high.
! Few Comments Made.
Very little grumblnig and few
comments of any kind have been
detected from the customers. High
Iprices undoubtedly have had a
numbing effect, one meatcutter
philosophical
Some stores are. complaining
about beef shortages, but meat
experts do not visualize a famine.
In reality, it is season of meat
plenty. with the feeders just COM
ing out in good number. Controls
were blamed by some for diverting
beef into unaccustomed channels.
There is a heavy run on poultry,
fish and pork.

customers, and felt the kindness
could be returned.

 This tuberculosis vaccination program was requested for Palm CT by the Matanuska Valley Health Council, Dr. C. C. Bailey. and Dr. A. Colberg. The supply of BCG vaccine is very limited, and it is released by the United States Commissioner of Public Health only to public health agencies. Specially trained personnel give the BCG vaccine. in Alaska. First it was used only in selected To- calities where the incidence of tu- berculosis is high. More recently the program has been carried to communities where members of the medical profession and the public health agency request it.
 People of Alaska are fortunate to be able to participate in the program. It has been made avail able to very few communities in the States. More information about the BCG program-what it is and who and how it benefits will appear in the next two Frontiersman issues in the Health Council News.
