Hospital Extends Ban
On Contagious Cases
In Prince Georges

The Prince Georges General
Hospital will continue its refusal
to admit persons with highly con-
tagious diseases because of a short
age of registered nurses.
Unanimous approval of that
policy, which has been in effect
for the last three years, was voted
yesterday by the county commits
sioners at Upper Marlboro.
The commissioners, who under
the law have full control Of the
institutions affairs, acted on rec
ommendation of hospital super
intendent Harry w. Penn, jr.

Mr.. Penn listed the highly
contagious" diseases as diptheria,
scarlet fever, small pox, typhoid
fever and some types of menen-
gifts. Other types Of the latter
disease will be treated. Mr.. Penn
said, as they have been in the
past.
Under present practice highly
contagious cases are sent to Bal
|timore and. Washington hospital:
with the county guaranteeing cost
|of treatment.
Mr.. Penn said that polio case:
are not treated at the hospita
because treatment for that affiic.
tions requires special equipment
and specially trained nurses ir
critical stages which the hospita
is not prepared to provide at this
time.
Action on TB Cases.
The hospital superintendent in.
cluded tuberculosis in his rec.
concentrations. He said yeSter-
day, however, that the hospita,

tients except in certain cases
such as those when persons who
have the disease require surgica

highly contagious diseases in tht
county other than polio has II
the, last three years been negli'
gible. In the last year, he said
the number of these cases ha

District Heads
To Report on
Bridge Plans
Notice to Congress
Next Week Will Offer
No Recommendations

The Commissioners will report
to Congress by next Thursday on
proposals for new Potomac River
bridges, but the report will offer
no recommendations.
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robinson,
Engineer Commissioner, said yes
terday a report Of some sort must
be filed under terms of the Con-
gressional act of March 3, which
directed the Commissioners to-
study the bridge problem. The
act specified that the results of
the study, together with recon-
mendations." should be filed with
in six months of passage of the
act.
Following Spirit of Law.
Although he is well aware of
the provisions of the act, Gen.
Robinson said, he feels the Com
missioners will be abiding by the
spirit Of the law. at least, if not
the letter. by giving preliminary
notice to Congress of the bridge
study.
This notice, the general added,
probably will be simple for
warding of the report handed the
Commissioners by the engineering
firm of Modjeski & Masters.
The engineering firm urged
construction of three river cross
ings. The total cost would be
more than. $50 million. The First
priority bridge would be over
Theodore Roosevelt Island be-
tween E street NV. and Arling-
ton boulevard. Next in line
would be one of two alternative
structure between Alexandria
and Shepherds landing, or Alex
andria and Rosalie Island, Md,
just south of the southernmostI
District line. The third structure
would cross between Nebraska
avenue and the Virginia shore
just below Chain Bridge.
Part of Congress instructions
to the Commissioners were sug-
gested on financing the proposed
bridge constructions. The Com
missioners at this time have no
concrete motions on that point, it
was understood.
The Masters firm was believed
to have been requested to make
financing recommendations but
none appeared in their $4,000
report.
Want to Study Report.
Commissioner Robinson told re-
porterS today that the Commits
Sioners will be in a better posi-
ton to make recommendations to
Congress after they have had a
chance to study the recommended
tions presented to the National
Park and Planning Commission
by the NPPC's own consultant,
Harland Bartholomew. The Bar
tholomew report recommended
crossings only at Nebraska ave-
nue. and Alexandria and spoke out
strongly against an E street
bridge.
Pointing out the difference be-
tween the two reports boils down
to the desirability of an E street
crossing, Gen. Robinson voiced the
fervent hope that a fight over
Potomac river crossings can be
avoided.

luck Denies He Plans
To Reassume Post
OF State Party Chief
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Aug. 30.-Former
Gov. William M. Tuck says his
resignation as Democratic State
chairman is unconditional and
that he has no thought of return
ing to the post.
The statement was made yester-
day in reply to a comment by
Delegate Robert Whitehead of
Nelson County that Mr.. Tuck's
resignation was more or less a
leave of absence" until after the
presidential campaign.
MIR. Tuck resigned Thursday at
the State Central Committee
meeting because he said he had
not made up his mind on the
presidential election. The COM
mittee named T. Nelson Parker
of Richmond in his place and
went on to give a weak indorse-
ment to the national Democratic
ticket.
Sources close to the former Gov
ernor said yesterday they don't
believe Mr.. Tuck will take any
part in the Democrats for Eisen-
hover" campaign despite his ap-
parent unfriendlineSs for the
Democratic slate.
Reveals Doctrine to Friends.
Mr.. Tuck declined comment
himself, but it was understood he
had told friends he would not
be available for any campaign to
round up Democratic votes for the
Republican presidential nominee
Mr.. Whitehead, a leader OF
the anti-organization wing of the
Democratic Party and possible
candidate for Governor next year,
said his conclusion that Mr..
Tuck's resignation was in the ma
ture of a leave Of absence was
reached because no chairman was
selected in his place. Mr.. Parker,
former Mayor of Richmond, was
named. temporary chairman to
serve at least until after the No
vember election.
1T does not stand to reason
that those in the know we're taken
by SURPRISE" Mr.. Whitehead said.
Things are not done that way
in Virginia.
Active Campaign Needed.
'.It would seem to me that in
the crucial weeks between now

campaign in behalf of the Demo-
cratic ticket.
