is now practically full of inactive
records which formerly were in
70 other places in the District

Seckinger Says Taxes
Raise PubIic's Share
OF Indigent Sick Cost

The Governments tax pro-
gram is making hospitals
dependent on public funds,
rather than private contribu-
tors, to meet the cost of caring
for the INDECENT sick. the
Commissioners have been ad-
viSed.
The Health Department has
found that, under the taxing
program of the Federal
Government. the number of
wealthy individuals left with
surplus funds from which to
make contributions to hos
pltals has declined greatly"

JudgeReverses
HisDecision in
.TurfBetCase
Inl
Physical Device Is
Needed to Convict
Bookie, He Rules

District Court Judge T. Alan
Goldborough today reversed him
self and set aside a previous con-
viction of Louis Gitelson. 80, on a
charge of setting up a gaming
table for race horse betting.
Gitelson, a former liquor dealer,
who lives in the HOO block of
buchanan street NV, was tried
before Judge GoldSborough on
February IA and found guilty. He
had waived jury trial.
The acquittal was based on a
recent Court of Appeals decision
which held that physical de-
vice" must be involved before con-
viction can be obtained on such a
charge.
Gitelson's attorney, Denny
Hughes, argued there was no
physical device used by Gitelson
in accepting any bet. Assistant
United States Attorney Harold H.
Bacon, however, said a telephone
constituted a physical device. The
Government said a phone was
used to transmit bets.
Claims Doing Favor.
At his trial, GitelSon denied on
the stand that he had ever re-
ceiVed any remuneration from
bets placed for anyone else. He
testified he merely had placed
them as a favor to James j. Mar
tin, $500 block of Fourteenth
street NE, who was the COM
planning witness against Gitelson.
A highlight of Gitelson's trial
last month concerned a contro-
versial bet which Mr.. Martin con-
tended was placed in time. Gitel-
son testified the race for which
the bet had been intended already
had been run.
Police Officers Role PrObed.
The Gitelson case precipitated a
police investigation into the role
a police lieutenant played in the
case. The police officer is Robbery
Squad 1t. George E. Cooper.
GitelSon, during his trial, said
"a certain police officer" had told
him that if he did not pay Mr..
Martin, a warrant would be sworn
out. Gitelson did not recognize
the officer on the stand but Police
Capt. Edgar E. Scott, assistant
chief of detectives, testified Gitel-
son had told him that 1t Cooper
made such a statement.
1t. Cooper testified briefly at
the trial. The officer said he was
present when Mr.. Martin phoned
a bet, but that he did not know
to whom it was phoned.

Mrs. Gould Shaw, Prominent
Here as Peggy Townsend, Dies
Made Debut in '38;
Become Singer in
Niqht Clubs Here

Mrs. Gould Shaw. 90, who as
Peggy Townsend was socially
prominent here and in Virginia,
died yesterday in Coconut Grove,
Fla.
Mrs. Shaw, who had lived in
Florida for nearly three years,
contracted a virus infection of
the throat several days ago.
Mrs. Shaw made her debut here
in 1898. She was the daughter
of Mrs. Margaret Graham Town
send and the late Efingham Law
renee Townsend. a Washington
stock broker. Mrs. Townsend re-
sides at the Cordova Apartments.
In 1888 she was presented to
society by her godmother and
great aunt. Mrs. Lawrence Town
send, a social leader here for years
and sponsor of Mrs. TownSendS S
muSicaleS at the Mayf1oWer Hotel.
Lawrence Townsend was formerly
Ambassador to Belgium, Spain
and Austria.
Peggy Townsend was brought
up on classical music. When 6
years old she sat on the lap of
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge at one of
the musicales given by her god
mother.
When Peggy was old enough to
make her debut in society she de-
cided she wanted to become a
night club singer and had no
trouble getting engagements. At
that time it was unusual, but not
unheard of. for a debutante to
appear as a professional singer.
In 1889 she was chosen Cherry
Blossom Queen and Irving Berlin
wrote a song for her entitled, The
Cherry Blossoms in Potomac
Park"

tary hospitals in fiscal 1852 was
cut from S635,000 this year and
S745,000 in fiscal 1850.
Under the 1852 request. three
hospitals - Providence, Garfield
and Episcopal-would be cut from
the list Of eight receiving money
from the fund.
Representatives of the contract
hospitals and the District Medical
Society visited the Commissioners
Yesterday to urge restoration of
the full program and the boost in
the day rate to bring it in line
with the $3.50 cost to Gallinger.
The job of preparing a plan for
recommendation to his fellow city
heads falls to the new Commits
sloner, F. Joseph Donohue. He said
he had asked two of the hospital
representatives to prepare a mem
orandum for him embodying their
wishes.
Mr.. Donohue said he then will
schedule a meeting with the off,
Gals to discuss the proposals and
submit a recommendation to the
Board of Commissioners within a
week or so.
He said he feels he must decide
on a plan that would be in the
pest interest of the people and
winch the District could afOrd +o
adopt.
Would Expand Program.
The voluntary hospitals, he said,
agree that Gallinger should have
a Well-developed out-patient pro-
gram but they hold that because
OF geographical factors and the
nature of certain diseases, the
service also is needed in the volun-
tary institutions.
He said the facts probably will
snow that there always were more
lndlgent sick than facilities To
take care of them, and even in
Its ultimate development the Gall
llnger clinic might not be able to
Idhe the Iull load.
In addition, he pointed out
some of the voluntary hospitals
show that the compensation thew
received from the District was far
less than the actual cost to them
of the care.
All are agreed, he said. that the
ultimate objective is the general
health of the District, subject to
the limitation of the tax dollar.
Compares Costs.
DR.. Seckinger said restoration
OF the 1850 patient load for the
voluntary hospitals would cost
S728,O0O if the rates remain
constant. If the per diem rate
goes up to $12.50, he said, $780,
240 more, or $3.50 for 47,497 pa
tient days, will be needed.
He pointed out that. as COM
pared with the $9-a-day rate paid,
the actual cost to the private hos
pitfalls ranges from $1O.O8 to $20.68.
The health director said he
recognized that deterioration in
international affairs since last
summer" had changed the situa-
ton of the contract hospitals.
1T is believed that all of the
hospitals should be given an op-
portunity to care for INDECENT
patients" he said. In this way
their training programs will be
improved and they will be able to
maintain standby facilities for use
in the event of a widespread
emergency"

D. {. Heads Accept
Offer of Bomb Shelter
In Proposed Building

A proposal to provide bomb
shelter space for 5000 persons in
a new Office building to be con-
structed on H street between Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth streets
NV, has received conditional in
dorsement by the Commissioners
The city heads were advised by
Jerry Maiatico, Washington build
er. that as a condition to grant
ing approval of the building, the
National Production Authority re-
quires acceptance of the structure
by the District as a protective
shelter.
Mi Maiatico has offered use OF
the underground shelter in the
10-Story, three basement building
for use in an emergency without
obligation on the part of the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Maiatico said the building
was designed in accordance with
Atomic Energy Commission rec
concentrations. He said it would
be built with private capital. A
public shelter providing equal
space would cost 81 million, with
out land, if built by the Govern
ment. he added.
The Washington builder said
the shelter space would be ready
for use within six months if he is
permitted to 60 ahead, and that 1t
would not cost the Government
a penny" He said construction
materials are available now and
that he had certified this to the
National Production Administra-
tion.
The Commissioners notified him
yesterday that, subject to a num-
Der OF conditions and effective
with delivery and recording of a
deed, they would accept use of the
underground stories Of che pro-
posed building as public air raic
shelter areas.
Available At All Times.
Their conditions call for avail
ability OF the shelter area for use
by the public at any time, whether
Tor practice or otherwise, under
controls provided in the civil de-
fense regulations for air raid
shelters.
They require also ADEQUATE
lighting and other utilities. mark
ing OF the shelter area and en-
frances, and maintenance in good
working condition of all ma
chlnery and equipment installed in
the building which will con-
tribute to usefulness of the facili-
ties as air raid shelters.
The city heads expressed appre-
clat1on to Mr.. Maiatico for his
offer OF the shelter facilities in
the downtown area.
Under the plans. the shelter
space would be located in three
easements and in the inclosed
central stairway and elevator core.
The District was advised this
would be done by closing the STAIR
wells with reinforced concrete
II inches thick.
Design Follows Recommendations
The design would give effect to
recommendations of the National
Security Resources Board and the
Atomic Energy Commission, Dis
trict officials were told.
The National Production Au-
thorlty, a spokesman said, has
agreed to review the proposal pro-
vided it comes with both the Dis
trict and National Civil Defense
Administration Endorsement.
But officials there are reported
to feel that to approve one such
plan would open the way to a
great many others. The present
freeze on office building was de-
signed to save steel and other cri-
tlcal materials for war mobiliza-
ton uses.
If one city gets an exemption
for such a bomb shelter-office
building construction. it is felt
that others would demand the
same privilege, the spokesmen
said.

(Special)-His mission to Japan

Marshall, special counsel of the
Naional Association for the Ad-

front in Korea, during which he
discovered that only eight white
soldiers had been accused of viola
ton Of the 18th Article of War
whereas 60 Negro GIs had been
so charged, Marshall reported that
the question as to why so many

climbs to intellectual heights, the
easier he seems tempted to lower
his spiritual sights.
5. Until in a day like this, with
great prospects and enormous
wealth, he appears to have lost
high rating of spiritual health.
6. The things that should en-
gage his highest thought, the aver
age man places at a discount that,
lesser achievements according to
his design, night be wrought.
Z. He plays with the toys Of
passing pleasure and even allows
his mind to drift beyond the pre-
cincts of nearly every human safe

8. On the other hand, God has
always death fairly and squarely
with man; even in his beginning,
placed him in a luxurious garden
in which to live, and let his soul
expand.

seemed too much for him to take.
and rather 1han settle peacefully
down, his Creator he began to
foresake.
10. Until now the Ten Com
mandments he has set out over
rule-and to have his own way,
has begun to put lead in his
Golden Rule.
II. Wars and Strikes are over
taking him, but he keeps on just
the same; cheating, hating and
even cursing Gods holy and right
eous name.
IL. Now as a last resort to free
him from what seems an inevitable
onslaught, our government has
gone on a spending spree to give
and buy everything that can be
bought-but this is only a passing
thrill; there is but one way out .
he MUST DO GODS WILL.

Our Way Versus Gods Way

1. Man has always wanted his way-yea, from his

2. If he wouldn't from the beginning take Gods way,
with no personal expenses or rent to pay; perhaps not
much more can be expected of him at this late day.
