posal that HSA be absorbed by
the Hospital Council was dis
cussed.
The HSA now administers
about $3.50. 900 spent annually for
hospital services by the area
Community Chest.
'It was the unanimous opin-
ion Of those present that, II 1t
were arranged to have the Hos
pital Council Of the Metropolitan
Area assume the management Of
HSA. they would find 1t necessary
to withdraw from the central
system (thus established) and
establish their own independent
certifying and distributing agen-
cies," a spokesman said.

Those present, he said, were
officials of the Prince Georges
and Fairfax Counties and Alex
andria Chest organizations and

Housing Association
Backs Prenfiss Plan
On Enforcing Code

The Washington Housing AS
sociation today. in effect, backed
the plan of Brig. Gen. Louis w.
Prentiss, Engineer Commissioner,
to put enforcement of the Dis
trict housing code, now being
prepared, under the Department
of Licenses and Inspections.
Col. Campbell c. johnson,
president of the group, issued a
statement on DR.. Daniel L. Seek
inger'S stand that such enforce
ment should be under the Health
Department, which DR.. Seek
niger heads.
"Dr. Seckinger's proposal might
perhaps be more eagerly ac-
cepted at this time if he could
point to evidence of a real STEP
ping up of the drive to put into
execution an adequate housing
enforcement program. Instead,
tenement house inspections have
broken down lamentably because
OF divided authority, and general
housing enforcement is still far
from being a reality in the Dis
trict." .--..
Col. johnson tempered his
statement by saying his group
does not "feel called upon to ex-
press a preference as to which
one of the existing departments
should have Jurisdiction"
1T is far less Important who
is to enforce a satisfactory hous-
ing law than that the law be ap-
propriately enforced" the colo
mel continued.
DIR. Seckinger's proposal, Col.
johnson said. would have car
ried far more weight if it had
been made last year, when sani-
tation inspections of houses were
left in the Health Department,
instead of being included in the
Commissioners reorganization
plan"
The proposed reorganization
goes before a special meeting of
the Citizens Advisory Council
on Monday. The Commissioners
are expected to make their deci-
sion the next day.
Policy Questions Submitted.
The Commissioners mean
while, sent a formal memoran-
dunn to the Citizens Advisory
Council. asking for its views on
these pinpointed policy ques-
tions: 8 ~ 80.
l. Whether the administration
and Interpretation of the Dis

be centralized in one depart

authority should be given the

Gen. Prentiss, or the Health

DR.. Seckinger.
