ID. C.. Committees Will Change
I'm New Republican Congress

Ito Representative Sid Simpson OF
Illinois He has SHE'D from any
positive advocacy of District home
rule.
MIR. Simpson would succeed
Chairman Mcmillan Of South
Carolina. a positive home rule op-
Iponent. Mr.. Simpson served as
Ia member Of the House District
subcommittee, which made a
lengthy inquiry into District Law
enforcement nearly three years
ago.
There will be some membership
changes also on the two commit
tees.
The House group already has
lost several members. Two won
Senate seats, Representative Beall

George Mahoney and Representa-
tive Kennedy. Democrat, Of Mas

tor Lodge.
Pastore Wins New Term.
Representative Sitter. Repub-
lican, Of Pennsylvania. was de.
feated for reelection, partly due
to redistricting which threw him
into a more predominantly Demo-
cratic area.
Another former member, Repre-.
sentative Redden, Democrat. Of
North Carolina. was not a candi-
date for reelection.
In the Senate committee, the
only member UP for reelection
Senator Pastore, Rhode Island
Democrat. won new term.

however. there are expected to
be requests from some district
committeeman for higher Senate
assignments. A change of party
control In the Senate probably
would stimulate such claims tc
bigger Senate committees.

however, by the fact that Senator
LANCER might get the chairman
ship Of the Senate Judiciary Com
Imittee. This is because Senator
Wiley Of Wisconsin, who nominal
|ly would become chairman of the
Judiciary group in a Republican
controlled Senate, is in line for
Craftsmanship Of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
Most Government employees re-
member Senator LANCER with favor
as chairman of the civil service
group during the 80th Congress.
He has also been active on the
committee during the past four
years. working closely with Chair
man Johnston Of South Carolina.
Should Senator LANCER reject
the civil service groups chairman
ship, the next Republican in line
would be Senator Carlson of Kan
sas. Here, too. the situation is
complicated. since Senator Carl
son has been widely mentioned for
a cabinet post in the Eisenhower
administration. The next Repub-
lican in line for the Craftsmanship
is Senator Butler Of Maryland.
Mccarthy and Hoffman.
There are two other committee
chairmanships that have great in
terest for Federal workers. These
are the Senate Government OPP

Executive Expenditures Commit
tee. Both groups investigate all
phases of Government operations.
Senator Mccarthy Of Wisconsin
would head the Senate group in
"a Republican-co ontrolled Senate
and undoubtedly would concen-
|trate sweeping investigations on
|reputed Communist activities in
Government. The House group
would be headed by Representative
HOFFMAN Of Michigan, a bitter
critic Of the Roosevelt and Tru-
man regimes during the past 20
years.

board work toward more economic
methods of building.
Mr.. Bulls, during the campaign,
continually carried the initiative,
attacking the CAPS activities as
political" and urging that "econ-
omy" was needed in building new
schools.
Mr.. King, however, although
considered a member Of the

had pressed for voter support as
being the only real farmer" who
could represent the rural people
on the board.
The four new elected members
will serve with the three hold
over Governor appointed members
until January /, 1855. At that
time all seven seats will be filled
by elected candidates, one each
from the five council districts and
two elected at large.
All four candidates yesterday
were elected at large under a rul-
ing by the. Board of Election
Supervisors. Some observers had
feared if an upper county repre-
sentative were not victorious, the
validity of the election might be
challenged by the County Farm
Bureau. Such a possibility now
seems remote.

Virginia and Maryland
Votes Now Follow
|Circuitous Route
w. F. Bulls.

Those record breaking vote
cast in the Virginia and Marylant
elections yesterday will travel {
long. indirect but careful route be
fore a new President of tn
United States is officially elected.
The steps taken by the twt
States to protect and authenticate
the votes are similar but in Vir'
ginia the procedure is a bit more
involved.
AS soon as the polls closed las
night. the votes were tabulatet
from the voting machines of Ar
Ilington County. (The system
varies in other counties which d,
not have the machines.)
Party Members Watch.
Watching the precinct judge
and clerks are representative
from the two parties casting thu
largest votes in the last previou!
presidential election. This in.
variably means a Democrat ane
Republican. though other partie.
are invited to send watchers.
The judges then complete the
preparation of a poll book, con.
tanning the checked-off names o.
all who voted in the precinct. To.
day the books were taken to thu
County Court clerks Office by 6
runner.
Tomorrow the county vote will
be canvassed by Commissioners o.
Election to determine if there
were any irregularities in the vot'
ing. The Commissioners, usually
three Democrats and two Republi'
cans, are named by the County
Election Board, whose three mem.
bers are appointed by the Circuit
Court. q
Votes Certified to Board.
After the county canvass, tht
votes are certified to the Virginis
State Election Board in Richmond
which again canvasses it on ths
State level, and in time certif1e'
the presidential electors which tn
people were voting for as an in
direct way Of naming a President
In other Virginia counties
where machines are not used. th'
procedure is the same once thu
clerks and judges have tailed th'
ballots. In some places the ballot!
are strung on a string with {
needle, and sent oil to the elec'
ton commissioners.
The voting machines are LOCKED
and kept intact for 80 days in cast
of a challenge.
Maryland System Similar.
In Maryland, the initial precinc
tallying is done in the same man
ner and the results are sent tt
the Board of Election Supervisor
in each county. The supervisor
are appointed by the Governor.
Following the canvass OF vote
at this level, the results are certi
fed to the Secretary of State whit
in turn passes it on to the Stat
Board of Canvassers. composed o
the controller, Secretary OF Stat
and Attorney General.
After they complete a State
wide canvass. the Secretary o
State, acting as secretary o
the Canvassing Board, is read,
to certify the electors. Votinl
machines and ballot boxes ais
are kept locked in this State.
The final step comes when cleo
tors in all the States meet to cas-
their votes for President and Vic
President, the sealed ballots thel
going to Congress for oft1cia
counting and confirmation.

Prince Georges
Voters Reject
Home Rule Plan
Proposal to Droft
Charter Defeated,
22,850 to 1884
By ChorIes A. McAIeer

Prince Georges County voters
have rejected the proposal for
home rule government in the
county.
They did so yesterday-by a
convicing 22.850-to-14,894 mar
|gin-when they voted against
creation Of a board to draft such
"a charter.
Those who ballotted on the is
sue also voted against five-mar
charter board slate put up by the
Citizens Committee for Good
Government. This vote. however.
held no significance since the
basic question concerning crea-
tion of the board itself was de-
feated.
Defeat of the charter question
marked a vote of confidence in
the county's present govern
mental set-up.
1850 Asked Vote.
The number who voted in favor
of a few more than those who
signed petition last July asking
that the question be placed on
the ballots yesterday. At that time.
12.500 county residents signed the
petition.
There was no doubt as to the
referendum's outcome once the res
turns started coming in. The
initial one indicated what the
trend would be and the margin
kept increasing until returns from
all So precincts were received.
Observers blamed the proposals
defeat on the opponents assertion
that such a charter would result
in higher taxes for county resi-
dents. Controversy over whether
such government should have a
county manager also was cited as
a reason for it's downfall.
Candidates Votes.
Both contentious had been part
of the arguments advanced by the
f1ve-member Charter Board slate
sponsored by the county's all.
Republican county commissioners,
Those favored as members Of
what would have been the County
Charter Board and their votes were
Edward c. Bell of Laurel. 1884:
George T. Burroughs, Forest
Heights. 19,804: Edwin A. Glenn,
Morningside. 20,529;. Mrs. Dorothy
B. Groth. Takorna Park, 1857,
and H. Winship Wheatley. jr.,
Hyattsville. 1882.
Those defeated were Reuben J.
Gordon, Cheverly, l6,0O7; Walter
F. Mulligan, Berwyn, 15,079;
Nicholas Orem. jr., University
Park. 15,630;J Charles F. Parker,
jr.. Radiant Valley, 14,723, and
DR.. Joseph M. Ray. College Park,
l4,l71.
Both states included Democrats
and Republicans. But it was the
commissioners slate which had
the backing of both parties.
These candidates admittedly
were opposed to charter but
promised to draw up one, If
elected, which would embrace vir-
tually the same aspects as the
existing form of government. All
were opposed to creation of a
county manager post and con-
tended such would have been pro-
vided if the county voted favor
ably for the charter.
Felt UNIFORMED.
Some observers attributed the
low total in voting on this ques-
ton to the fact many county
residents, despite all advance dis
cussions, actually felt they did not
know enough about it.
The charter voting totaled st.
744, compared to the 66,978 ballots
cast by county voters in the presi-
dental election. The latter rep
resented more than IS per cent
lof the county's total registration
of 82,689.
Had voters approved of the
Charter Board yesterday. the five
man slate picked would have pre-
lpared a charter for submission to
county voters in 1854. Instead,

Rates for services at Griffin Memorial hospital are being raised, the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart have announced.
 "A careful audit of income and expenses. with constantly rising costs in mind, has re- suited in the adoption of the following scale as the absolute minimum at which operation maybe maintained, with pro- vision forrepIacements repairs, and improvements as these requirements arise, '' the off cials of the hospital stated.

Hospital Rates Up At Griffin Memorial

New rates, replacing those which have Hong been very
 much below the average for similar services in the states" !, follow:
 Ward, per day, $11; semi private, $l3; private, Sl5; operating room, major, &25 for first hour; operating room, minor, $l5; anesthesia, S5 to $15; delivery room, $l5; child ren's ward, $7.50. The fees for x-ray work will be slightly ad- vanced.
 In listing the raises, the hospital said: Many features enter into this decision al- though little comparison with rates in other Alaskan hospitals as we'll as those in the states show that the above are still very reasonable. If Sisters salaries were charged at prevalent wage scales, the cost would of course be much
 higher.''
 The hospital points out that one of the pressing problems
 is that of collections. No
 patient is turned away for
 lack of funds; no patient who
 honestly cannot pay a bill is dunned for money. Yet there
 are many who are financially
 able to pay for the service
 they receive but completely
 neglect these obligations. A.
 gainst this lack of good will,
 there is simply no defense;
 consequently each year a sub-
 stantial amount is written off to bad debts."
 ''On the other hand", the
 hospital officials add, "the
 large number of friends and /! supporters of the hospital are
 a source of qualification; their goou will more than compen- sates for the disappointments
 and difficulties encountered
 from day to day."
