Democrats For
parkman Organized

Inasmuch as the people OF the
Democratic Party have failed to
nominate qualified candidate
for the Corporation Commission,
Short Term, an organization has
been formed = Democrats for
Parkman." The committee makes
this observation:
Timothy D. Parkman, Republi-
can, was appointed to fill the un-
expired term of Wilson T. Wright,
left vacant by his death. Mr.. Park
man has served as attorney for and
as Corporation Commissioner for
the past twenty months, and in
that capacity has raised the stand
ards of the Corporation Commits
sion to the highest level to date.
The Democrats for Parkman
Organization feel that there are
times when it behooves all clear
thinking people to transcend their
party lines and sublimate party
politics for the good of the State.
The Democrats for Parkman hope
to influence the members of their
party to put the welfare of the
people first by voting for the only
truly qualified candidate for the
Short Term of the Corporation
Commission-Timothy D. Park
man.

to use express passenger buses
in National Capital parks would
not be practicable in the Rock

The Secretary's letter to this
effect was in response to a re-
quest by the Senator, urging use
OF the road system of the Ma
tional Capital Parks as one step
to improve the traffic-tranSit Sit
uation in Washington.
Permission for operation of
pasSenger-carrying buses has
been granted on all roads in the
National Capital Park system,
the Secretary said. except the
Rock Creek and Potomac Park
way.
The Rock Creek and Potomac
Parkway, from Connecticut ave-
nue. to Constitution avenue, was
not constructed as a heavy-duty
road, and there are several sec
tons of the road which are not
sufficiently sturdy to support
heavy transit Buses" Mr.. Mckay
said.

Tax Ruling Review
Asked by Arlington
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Mar. 27.-The
State Supreme Court yesterday
was asked to review a decision
upsetting Arlington's business
license tax on laundries and dry
cleaners who cross the State line
in their operations.
The Arlington Circuit Court
held that the tax against IA
laundries and dry cleaners was
illegal because it violated the
Constitutions interstate COM
merce clause.
The court ordered the county
to refund taxes collected from
the firms.
But the Arlington governing
body contends the commerce
clause does not apply in the case
because. in effect, there is no
interstate commerce involved.
The county. in a petition filed
with the State appellate court.
said the laundries and dry
cleaners did their business in
arlington and made trips into
washington only to have the
actual cleaning done at their
plants.
The petition asked if taking
laundry into Washington consti-
tuted interstate commerce Ito
such an extent that Arlington
county is thereby precluded
from taxing such activity"
The laundries have the right
to reply to the petition before
the State court decides whether
to review the case.

Two New Hospitals
Recommended, With
One in Southeast

construction OF two large new
hospitals in the District was
urged yesterday by a special ad-
visory group.
The city needs a 400-bed
chronic disease hospital. as well
as a 200-bed facility in rapidly
growing Southeast Washington,
the group said.
These recommendations were
made by the so-called Hill-Bur-
ton Hospital Advisory Council.
The group, headed by District
Health Director Daniel L. Seek
niger, includes leading private
physicians and city government
officials. 1t studies the needs of
local hospitals subject to aid
through Federal matching funds
unGer the Halliburton Act.
Early Construction Advised.
The council declared that
private non-profit chronic dis
ease hospital, with GONZALES
cent facilities. should be built
here at the earliest possible
date" According to nationally
recognized standards. Washing
ton should have total of 1924
beds for such. patients. The
city can now offer only 100
beds. A 400-bed hospital would
be feasible, council spokesman
said.
The city government itself
plans to make a modest start in
this direction. Funds to remodel
the present psychiatric building
at District General Hospital and
convert it to chronic disease and
convalescent use are requested
in the pending public works i'm
provement program.
A new structure for Southeast
Washington should be built on
either Pennsylvania or Branch
avenue on the far side of the
Anacostia. under a recommended
ton by DR.. Herbert Marshall,
who spoke before the council.
the group supported his stand
for a 200-bed installation.
Voice in Planning Asked.
In another action, the council
recommended that the District
Commissioners give it a voice in
the planning and construction
of all future hospitals here.
I'm this way" the council re-
port stated, 1T is hoped that
new facilities constructed, with
the assistance of the taxpayers
funds. would be placed in loca-
tions to the advantage of the
taxpayers and would provide
services needed by the tax
payers"
In this connection, a council
spokesman called attention to
the fact that two hospitals now
serving the Southeast area
Sibley and Providence -" ARE
planning to move in one direc-
ton, to the north, while the
population is moving in the
other direction"
