That Wash Again

Announcer: Mr.. President, there
is another thing about the East
Room that I've heard and I think
that you're the source of the story
is that Abigail Adams hung her
wash In here before it was finished
Mr.. Truman: That's correct. II
you read the life Of Mrs. John
Adams-Abigail Adams-it states
there that the floor was not in the
East Room when the AdamSes
moved in. They moved in in 1898
The house was started in 1892 and
it wasn't finished by 1898. It was
almost as slow a job as the one
we've just finished.

yesterday President Truman was
wrong when he said Calvin Cool
idge "just about broke up" the
First Congregational Church by
attending it while President.

note of a statement repeatedly
made by President Truman to five
Church of Christ ministers who

Hospital Officials Plan
TO Ask for Extension
OF Medical Center Act
By Wallace (. Clayton

Much progress in the planning
of the new Hospital Center will be
reported tomorrow when officials
of the proposed 1,0OO-bed hospital
go to Congress to ask an extension
of the act authorizing the medical
center.
Charles S. Dewey, president of
the Washington Medical Center
Corp, said he exected favorable
reception to a bill drafted by the
General Services Administration
which would give officials until
June 80, 1857, to finish the hospi-
tai. '-
The present enabling act
authorizing funds for land pur-
chase and planning-expires next
month.
Knotty Problem Solved.
Mr.. Dewey, who also is president
of Garfield Hospital. will appear
before a House Public Works sub
committee to testify in behalf of
the bill. He will be joined by
Samuel H. Kaufman, a vice
president of Emergency, and H. L.
Rust, jr., executive vice president
of Episcopal Hospital. The three
institutions will be combined in
the new center.
One of the knottiest problems
involved in the planning for the
center has been solved, Mr.. Dewey
said. That was the question of
what property of the three hos
pitals shuold be turned over to
the Government. Under the en-
abling legislation, all hospital
property" owned by the institu-
tions must be given up in return
for Federal financing of the
project.
The hospitals maintained that
producing property not
used as hospital facilities should
not be turned over. Officials
pointed out, in fact, that much
of this property would have to
be sold to pay off mortgages. The
legislation requires a hospital to
join. the Center "unencumbered." "
Hospital Board Acts.
Mr.. Dewey said the Emergency
Hospital board agreed Friday to
the Governments settlement in
regard to hospital property. The
institution may retain all real
estate except the hospital building
and the nurses home.
He said this settlement was
most generous. Negotiations in
regard to disposition of Emer-
gency's property had been stalled
for many months because of the
amount of non-hospital property
which the institution wanted to
retain.
The Governments willingness
to settle, Mr.. Dewey said, proves
Congress and the Federal Gov
Iernment realize the necessity of
improving hospital facilities
here"
The Garfield board, he said,
had already authorized him to
sign for that hospital. The gov
ernment has agreed to allow
Garfield to retain for private sale
most of the large tract of land
in front of the hospital.
Episcopal Meeting May 19.
The board of Episcopal Hospital
will meet May 10, and ready ap-
proval of the property settlement
offered that hospital is expected.
Garfield must raise $4,000 to
pay off its mortgage, and
Emergency has Indebtedness of
about $4,000.
The project also is behind
schedule because the original site
chosen-the Naval Observatory
groundS-later became unavail-
able. Several alternate tracts
then were considered. A site on
the Soldiers Home grounds was
finally selected, and negotiations
have been completed for its
acquisition. GSA architects now
are drawing plans for the seven
story, $22 million building.

An Imitation Stuart?

I'm the East Room, before a

Mr.. Truman: It's an imitation
Stuart. understand that it's not
a real Stuart but I'm not sure
about that. Some people say that
Stuart painted the face and one
of his hired-help painted the rest
of the figure. At any rate, Dolly
Madison is credited with having
saved it when the British burned
the House.
Announcer: Was that the one
she cut down and tucked under
her arm and ran out the door
with, Mr.. President2
Mr.. Truman: Well, that the
story but the story isn't true. She
took the frame, picture and all
and took it away in a big wagon
But the story has always gone
around that she cut the picture
out of the frame and rolled it ur
and put it under her dress and
took it with her. And one of the
Quiz Kids one time asked Presi-
dent Roosevelt what sort of a
knife she used to cut the picture
out of the frame and Mrs. Roose-
velt told me he didn't hesitate a
moment. He said, why a kitchen
