versity HoSpital-The problem of
INDECENT care is a many-faceted
one. Creation of a board of
health, in my opinion, is no solu-

public health practice is to have
an advisory health council. do
not go along with the advisory
council proposed by the reorgan-

to board of health. would like
to see broader representation

DIR. E. c. Mazique, president of
the Medico-C hirurgical Society
Favored plan for department
of health run by a single head,
with an advisory council. Crea-
ton of a board of health would
require legislation and a useless
expenditure of money. A board
would tend to divide RESPONSE
bility and offer an opportunity
for confusion and buck passing.
DIR. Francis M. Forster, dean
OF the Medical School at George

change in the system with re-
spect to Gallinger Hospital
which would be inimical to the
interests of medical education
and research. Opposed an ad-
ministrative health board.
Mrs. Donald Detwiler, speak
ing as a citizen of the Capitol

for officials to act quickly and

Rules Group
Urged TO Back
Transit Probe
Senate D. c. Unit
Seeks Approval
Of Area Inquiry

Spokesman for the Senate Dis
trict Committee today appealed
to the Senate Rules Committee
to approve an inquiry by the
District unit into the fiscal and
management policies of trans
portation companies serving the
District.
Action was deferred, Chairman
Jenner of the Rules Committee
said, only because the Senate
was already in session and action
could not properly be taken
without Senate consent.
Chairman Jenner said another
meeting would be called later to
act on this and other matters.
$4,000 Is Sought.
The case for a separate Senate
District Committee investigation
was presented by Senator Payne.
Republican, of Maine and Robert
Albrook, clerk of the District
Committee. The request is for
$4,000 for an inquiry that
would run from August l to
January 81.
They presented a letter from
Chairman Robert E. Mclaughlin
of the District Public Utilities
Commission endorsing the pro-
posed inquiry In this, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said.
Charges and counter charges
concerning local transportation
practices have reduced the
public relations of our major
transit company to the point Of
serious interference with the
normal relationship that must
exist to keep the transit system
on an economic-operating level.
Sees Need of Clearer Vision.
"An independent and objec-
tive investigation, extending into
certain past transactions which
are now beyond the jurisdiction
of this commission, would tend
to settle the dust and give the
public as we'll as the Congress a
clearer picture of the actual
situation.
The findings resulting from
such inquiry should be invalu-
able to the Congress and this
commission in connection with
future regulations. and should,
as we'll, improve the critical re-
lationship of the company and
the public"
+. Earlier in the year the Senate
approved proposed $4,000
transit investigation. to be made
jointly by the House and Senate
District Committees, but this
has been held up by the House
Rules Committee.

f Street Bridge Plea
Is Sent 10 Congress
By District Heads

The District Commissioners
have asked Congress to author
ize funds for the construction
of a new 6-lane bridge across
the Potomac River in the vicin-
ity of E street NV.
Thus, the city heads again
have gone to Congress for settle
ment of a bridge dispute after
being unable to get other agen-
cies concerned to agree. The
same procedure was used by the
Commissioners to win approval
of the East Capitol Street Bridge
and the Highway Bridge.
Ask High Priority.
The Commissioners submitted
their request to Chairman Simp-
son of the House District Com
mittee, in report late yesterday
The report asked that high
priority be given the E Street
Bridge, citing traffic congestion
on the spans now in use.
The Commissioners also recon-
mended that another bridge be
constructed at Jones Point
which would connect with Alex
andria-aS soon as possible.
A third new bridge at Nebraska
avenue was listed as a project
that should be considered in the
near future.
The National Capital Planning
Commission has refused to in
dorse construction of the bridge
at E street.
The proposed bridge would
pass over Theodore Roosevelt Is
land. The Commissioners told
Mr.. Simpson this was major
problem which Congress would
have to decide.
Strong opposition to the bridge
touching the island has come
from the Theodore Roosevelt
Island Memorial Association.
When the United States accepted
title to the island from the asso-
citation, it was agreed that moth
ing would be done to the island
inconsistent with the purpose of
creating a memorial to the for
mer President.
The Commissioners comment
ed:
THE studies made by the
Highway Department and the
Engineer Commissioner show
that from an engineering and
traffic point of view, the most
desirable solution is a bridge in
the vicinity of E street, which
crosses Roosevelt Island, now set
aside as a memorial park area.
There seems to be a differ
ence of opinion among the emf
nent counsel who have consid-
cred this matter regarding
whether the construction of a
bridge over Roosevelt Island
would be violation of law.
Will Go to Subcommittee.
1T seems clear. however, that
any utilization which might
prevent the construction of a
bridge over the island is an OBJ
legation of the United States and
not of the District. Therefore
the Commissioners believe that
the decision regarding whether
such an obligation exists and
what effect should be given to it
is matter for Congress and not
the Commissioners"
Mr.. Simpson said a bill will be
introduced, as requested by the
Commissioners.

Government and construction"
Biggest decrease in employ
ment from June 1852 to last
month was in the apparel and
accessory field with a 1913 per
cent decline.
Next largest was in Federal
Government with an employ
ment drop of "a per cent from
260, 800 job-holders in the area
in June 1852 to $4,000 last June.
Construction ploym n t
dropped 81 per cent.
On the rising side were whole
sale trades. up 7.9 per cent and
local railways and buses, up 81
per cent.
Seasonal and permanent job
opportunities are indeed with
the exception of a few shortage
occupations" the report stated.
The agency pointed out that
the declining employment totals
here are at variance with record
breaking gains in many other
parts Of the Nation.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
July IA. - College football
coaches will have another worry
this fall. They've been handed
full responsibility for making
sure their teams comply with
the new substitution rule which
ends the two-platoon era.
Top officials of the National
Collegiate Football Rules Com
mittee and the commissioners of
the 10 major athletic confer
enceS agreed yesterday that
each coach is to be held re-
sponsible for the legality of sub
stituteS from his bench"
The new rule divides the game
into six substitution periods and
provides that player can enter
play only once in each of those
periods. They are the first and
third quarters. and the first IL
minutes and the last four min
utes of both the second and
fourth quarters.
Procedures were worked out at
a. meeting of the athletic COM
miSSionerS with Fritz CriSler of
the University of Michigan,
chairman of the NCAA Football
Rules Committee and Tad VIE
man of the University of Den
yer, secretary of the committee.
Crisler said he anticipated no
trouble whatever" in putting into
effect the new rule adopted by
the NCAA last January. A pre-
pared statement issued by Asa
Bushnell of the Eastern Inter-
collegiate Conference said:
Since coaches are on their
honor for the legality of substi-
tutes returning to the game,
illegal returns are not antici-
pated."
The procedures relieve officials
OF any responsibility in keeping
track of substitutes. However.
they are empowered to assess a
l5-yard penalty when illegal
substitution is detected. The vio-
lation will be ruled unsportsman-

on the easy second and mis-
played a sandless-trap shot to
take on the par 4 third. That

even at 70 is dangerous.
The other 70 shooters are Earl
Fling of Washington, who likes
the first nine at Prince Georges,
but can't play the second;
Johnny Musser, the consistent
but seldom par-breaking pro
from All View, and Bill Cole,
leader of the amateurs from

With two rounds to go the

Bassler, with O'Donnell respect

Neither O'Donnell nor Bassler

golf, and on the rare occasions,
when they appeared headed for
