Tuck Denies He Plans
To Reassume Post

BY the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Aug. 30.-Formel
Gov. William M. Tuck says hi
resignation as Democratic State
chairman is unconditional" anc

ing to the post.
The statement was made yester.
day in reply to a comment by
Delegate Robert Whitehead oi
Nelson County that Mr.. Tuck's
resignation was more or less q
leave of absence" until after the
presidential campaign.
Mr.. Tuck resigned Thursday a,
the State Central Committee
meeting because he said he hac
not made up his mind on the
presidential election. The com.
mittee named T. Nelson Parker
of Richmond in his place ant
went on to give a weak indorse.
ment to the national Democrat,
ticket.
Sources close to the former Gov
ernor said yesterday they dom
believe Mr.. Tuck will take any
part in the Democrats for Eisen'
hover" campaign despite his ap'
parent unfriendliness for tn
Democratic slate.
Reveals Doctrine to Friends.
Mr.. Tuck declined commen
himself, but it was understood HI
had told friends he would no
be available for any campaign t.
round up Democratic votes for th'
Republican presidential nominee
Mr.. Whitehead, a leader O
the anti-organization wing of tn
Democratic Party and a possible
candidate for Governor next year
said his conclusion that Mr.
Tuck's resignation was in the ma.
ture of a leave Of absence wa.
reached because no chairman was
selected in his place. Mr.. Parker
former Mayor Of Richmond, was
named temporary chairman tc
serve at least until after the No
vember election.
1T does not stand to reason
that those in the know were taken
by surprise" Mr.. Whitehead said.
Things are not done that way
in Virginia.
Active Campaign Needed.
ut would seem to me that in
the crucial weeks between now
and November 4. the Democratic
Party in Virginia would need, If
1t ever needed, a full-hedged
chairman to conduct an active
campaign in behalf Of the Demo-
cratic ticket.
"Now the Democratic Party en-
barks upon the rough seas of the
presidential race minus a cap
tain and with a junior officer
temporarily in charge. I wish
Mr.. Parker the best Of luck and

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 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 a preliminary
notice to Congress of the bridge
study.
This notice, the general added,
probably will be a 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
tngs. 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 southernmost
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 Commis-
sioners will be in a better posi-
tion 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.

Hospitals S Ban
On Contagious
Cases Continues
Prince Georges Heads
Approve Policy Now
In Effect ; Years

The Prince Georges General
Hospital will continue its refusal
to admit persons with highly con-
tagious diseases because Of q 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.
Lists Contagious" Types.
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 hospitals
with the county guaranteeing cost
|of treatment.
MIR. Penn said that polio cases
are not treated at the hospital
because treatment for that afflic.
tions requires special equipment
and specially trained nurses in
critical stages which the hospital
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 hospital
does not admit tuberculosis pa
tients except in certain cases,
such as those when persons who
have the disease require surgical
Operations.
Mr.. Penn said the number Of
highly contagious diseases In the
county other than polio has in
the last three years been negli-
|gible. In the last year, he said,
the number of these cases has
been under six. He termed tuber-
culosis a communicable but not
highly contagious disease.
Original plans for a recently
completed addition to the hospi-
tai called for an entire wing for
the care and treatment of
contagious and communicable
diseases. The plan was changed
and only a portion of one wing
was constructed for the handling
OF ailments Of these types.
Points to Physical Setup.
Mr.. Penn said that the physical
ISetup of this section is complete
for the handling of these cases
but Is being used for general hos
pital cases. The section has five
rooms and eight beds.
In order to operate the isolation
section, Mr.. Penn said, it would be
necessary to assign not less than
four full-time registered nurses
who would be willing to take as
signment in an isolation ward.
The critical shortage of registered
nurses throughout the metropolis
tan area and throughout the
country make it almost impossible,
Mr.. Penn declared, to operate the
isolation ward as an individual
unit.
He added that a survey is being
made to see what can be done to
alleviate this situation and that it
is believed that the interest of the
county's citizens can at the present
time be best served by making
available as many beds as possible
for medical and surgical patients.
In the last year, the hospital has
increased its bed capacity from
102 to 191 and is now trying to
find sufficient personnel to staff
additional beds which would in
