Building Of Hospital
For Veterans Is Due
To Begin in January
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey

Construction of the new hos
pital for veterans of the Wash
lington area is expected to begin
early in January, barring any
more such obstacles such as have
hampered plans since the hos
pital was first authorized in 1916,
a spokesman for the Veterans
Administration said today.
BY that time all the preliminary
details are expected to be COM
pleted, including the award of
the construction contract. The
building will be on a tract set
aside on the southern part of
the Soldiers Home grounds.
The green light was given
again to the planning division of
the Veterans Administration, after
notification from the Budget Bu-
reau that President Truman had
turned down the recommendation
of Veterans Administrator Carl
R. Gray, jr., that the size of the
proposed hospital be increased
from 500 to 750 beds.
Based on Politics.
Budget Director F.. j. Lawton,
answering letter to Representa-
tive Sasscer. Democrat, of the
nearby Southern Maryland dis
trict, said the President had previ-
ously refused other requests to
restore portions of the $1,000 beds
which had been eliminated in the
overall reduction of the Veterans
Administration hospital program.
The local hospital was originally
planned as 750-bed hospital, but
was cut third in the general
reduction.
Facilities Withdrawn.
Gen. Gray had argued that the
Washington area needed a hos
pital of the size recommended.
The need has become acute since
the outbreak of the Korean hos
tilities he said, because the service
hospitals here - Naval Medical
Center at Bethesda and the
Army's Walter Reed-have with
drawn a number of beds which
the Veterans Administration was
permitted to use for the overflow
from Mount Alto.
Because of it's location in Wash
ington, it was said, no difficulty is
anticipated in stating the hos
pital.

Industry Expansion
Passes Halfway Point

More than half of the $12.3 bill
lion worth of new industrial facili-
ties supporting the defense effort
was in place on March 81.
The Defense Production Admin
Iistration issued this estimate to-
day. It said SO per cent of the
program is expected to be COM
lpleted by the end of this year; "a
lper cent by the end of next year
and the whole program by the
end of 1854.
The $12.3 billion figure is the
total for facilities covered by Ger
|tif1cates of necessity issued through
last December 81.
The largest single expansion
program is in the iron and steel
industry. The total for steel
works and rolling mills is 1925
billion, and Al per cent of the
facilities were in place by Decem-
ber 81. The blast furnace pro-
gram amounting to $3.50 million
was "a per cent finished then.

Britain Expected 10 Pledge
Aid 10 European Army
By the Associated Press

LONDON, April 11.-Diplomatic
sources reported today Britain
soon may give ironclad legal as
surance that British troops will
fight If any member of the pro-
posed six-nation European army
lis attacked.
In effect, this would extend
present pledges of automatic
military aid to West Germany.
(The New York Times said
today in dispatch from Paris
by c. L. Sulzberger that the.
British cabinet is expected to
announce the pledge next week.
probably on April 15.)
The guarantee would not alter
the practical military picture
in Western Europe. Five divisions
Of British occupation troops are
stationed in West Germany and
an attack there certainly would
involve these forces.
But the promise is expected to
have important psychological
effects in the Parliaments of the
six nations, some of which have
had grave doubts about the treaty
now being drafted to link the six
nations in the European Defense
Community.

FBI Arrests Him
BY The Associated Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Alfred c..
Zaccore, whose draft board was
notified that ne was dead, was
arrested to-day on a charge Of
falling to report for induction into
the armed services.
Zaccone, 25, received his first
notice of induction August 18,
1850. Since then he has been
summoned three times, but each
time back came excuses.
The first notice was signed by
a physician, note saying zaccone
suffered from migraine headaches
and couldn't make it.
Two months later, in answer to
the second summons, a note over
the purported signature of Zac-
cones mother said: MY son has
joined the Navy" The board
checked, and he hadn't.
The third notice brought the
reply: MY son was killed in an
automobile accident on jan
uary 7. 1851"
Today FBI agents dropped in
on Zaccone with a warrant charg-
ing him with failure to report for
induction. He was held on $4,000

If DuMont can just get the
referees to keep camera positions
in mind, the fight fans ought to
be quite happy about this new
addition to the TV schedule.

Almost invariably. Lynn Poole
pointed out, a British television
program starts with the camera on
t he announcer, feminine-type.
There is not much point in dream
ing, though, since our television is
commercial. Sponsors undoubtedly
feel that women, who do most of
the buying, are more likely to be
swayed by a handsome man than
by handsome woman.
Another thing demonstrated by
the program was that the British
though they have had regular TV
service since 1896 with time out
for the war;. have not surpassed
us in the development of kinescope
recordings. The program was the
first of three titled "An American
Looks at Science in Britain" Ac-
cording to Mr.. Poole, it had been
telecast in Great Britain five days
previously and film recorded for
American showing. The film quail
|ity left a great deal to be desired.
Still, it was better than no TV
report at all on Mr.. Poole's tour
OF the BIC. When the program
content is of high quality, you can
put up with some other defects,
The kinescope recording, after all,
is not the only project of man
which has so far failed to attain
perfection.
The Science Review" examina-
ton Of British television covered
a lot of territory, even if some
was covered only sketchily. Mr.
Poole started out with an exami-
nation of the BIC TV network OF
four stations. British television
transmitters are more powerful
than ours and the four cover areas
where nearly 35 million persons
live. The station at Holme Moss
in Yorkshire, with tower 750 feet
high, is the most powerful in the
world.
AS befits a program aimed at
scientific inspection, Science Re-
view touched only lightly on pro-
gramming. There was lot of good
drama, Mr.. Poole said, and he
showed brief films of some BIC
programs of the 3Os for which a
sponsor might be found around
here today.
In examining British technical
Developments in TV, Mr.. Poole
came upon primitive camera de-
signed by John Baird. It employed
a series of mirrors to scan with a
beam of light the subject being
Itelevised. Worked, too, when used
with a receiver designed for that
sort of thing.
Mr.. Poole didn't say it, but the
station at Kirk o. Shots, serving
an area including 4 million Shoots,
serves no Kirk O. Shots villagers.
They don't have electricity.

It is the referees job to see
that the fight is conducted prop

to block the view momentarily
that's just too bad. Camera-aware
referees working the Garden and

Alert camera work usually can
solve the problem, anyhow, and
