Hospital Censure
Move Defeated
In Prince Georqes

A motion to censure the Prince
Georges General Hospital direc-
tors was defeated yesterday, 3
to 2. by the County Commits
Sioners.
The dispute arose over the
case OF a Seat Pleasant woman
twice denied admission to the
hospital by staff physicians who
diagnosed her case as chronic
and not acute. Another doctor
interceded on behalf of a friend
OF the woman. and had her al
mitted. She died eight days
later Of cerebral hemorrhage.
Commissioner Edward j.
Waters declared the woman was
not a chronic case. as the two
doctors said, but an acute victim.
He moved to send a letter to
the hospital telling it to operate
as it is supposed to be operated.
Commissioner Fannie SpicknalI
seconded the motion.
The three other commission.
ers voted it down.

Berwyn Residents
Seek McKeIdin HeIp
In Sewage Problem

Failure Of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
to provide sewage facilities for a
small section of College Park
Md, has prompted 10 residents
there to ask Gov. McKeldin fol-
help.
They live in the 5000 blocks OF
Seminole and Tecumseh streets
and the 5000 and $500 blocks OF
Fiftieth place. in the Berwyn
sector of College Park.
In a letter to Gov. McKeldin
the 10 citizens complain that
lack of sewage facilities has re-
suited in open sewage in their
back yards and "deplorable'
odors. The condition. they said
has existed for 10 years and pre-
vents their children from play
ing outside.
To support their claim. the
group says it has been petition
ing the Sanitary Commission to
do something about it for sew
eral years In October. 1852. they
told the Governor. each put up a
SIT deposit required by the
commission. So far. they argue
nothing has been accomplished

OF Area Transport
BY a ssor Staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 3.-The
Maryland House of Delegates
last night approved. 1910. q
resolution calling for Maryland
Virginia and the District of Co.
lumbia. to conduct a joint study
Of transportation problems in
the Washington Metropolitan
Area.
There was no debate. Since
the measure is a simple rather
than a joint resolution. last
nights action was final.
The resolution, sponsored by
the Prince Georges and Mont
gomery delegations, is similar to
one introduced in the Virginia
General Assembly by three Ar
lington delegates. It would es-
tablish a nine-member commits
sion to study the "adequancy OF
present passenger facilities and
services in the Washington
Metropolitan Area, and the rates
charged for such services" The
three Jurisdictions each would
have three members on the
study group.

Arlington Federation
Urqes Bond Issue for
New Office Building

A bond issue to enable con-
Struction of a new county Office
building was urged by the
Arlington Civic Federation last
night.
The group also urged the
Arlington County Board to ex-
pedite establishment of a north
ern Virginia juvenile detention
home and announced its oppo-
sition to abandonment of the
precinct registrar system.
Federation delegates set no
estimate on. the size of the bond
issue for the Office building
which they said should be pre-
sented to voters this year. But
they indicated it should be To-
Gated in an area that would
provide ample parking facilities.
Juvenile Detention Home.
The federation's public safety
committee presented the reso-
luton urging action on pro-
posed juvenile detention home
that would be jointly operated
by Arlington. Loudoun and Fair
fax Counties, and Alexandria
and Falls Church.
The committee said all of the
Jurisdictions have Endorsed a
report on the need for the home.
Arlington's county board is ex-
pected to take up the question
of abandoning the precinct reg
istrar system and maintaining
only the central registrars ONCE
at its next meeting. The ques-
ton came before the board last
week and was unresolved because
of a tie vote with enc member
absent.
Federation delegates said the
precinct registrars enable per-
sons with limited means of
transportation and limited time
to register easily and conven-
iently.
Data on Utility Rates.
In another action the fedora
ton reaffirmed its support OF
legislation before the General
| Assembly which would require
the State Corporation Commits
sion to furnish findings of fact
to all interested parties in de-
cisions in contested utilities rate
cases.
County Board Member Alvin
Kimel, in a brief talk, declared
there is necessity for all fac
tons in Arlington to study and
weigh opposing views on methods
Of achieving progress in building
county facilities.

COMMENT
By
WALTER uuBiM /.

Atlanta, Georgia The
National Association of
Manufacturers said today
that if any changes are to
be made in the Taft-Hartley
Law they should "give ex-
preston to the American
ideals of individual free
dom, of fair play and sim
pie justice, of acceptance of
privileges, and of full OPP
responsibility along with
portunity for individuals to
work and live without I'M
due restraints or interfer-
ence, so long as the rights
of others are not disturbed"
The NAM said that the
present law "comes close"
to meeting the country's
needs and that Industry,
business and an overwhelm-
ing majority of the public
want the law either
strengthened or left un
changed"
The NAM statement made
it clear that industry will
oppose efforts to weaken the
law and will seek public
support for amendments
which would have the effect
of curbin compulsory
unionism, secondary boy
colts and featherbedding or
would return to states a
larger measure of authority
for protecting their citi-
zens in labor disputes.
The association recon-
mended Ell g h t specific
changes in the law. The
statement said that industry

in a foreward to the state

"The American people

continued.
THE present law comes
close to measuring up to
this standard. Yet no SEN

Irving Reed Says
 Funds Lacking For Alaska Roads

JUNEAU-Motor fuels tax mon ies available to the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners are running about equal to 1853 re- ceipts, but there still isn't nearly enough to meet requests for road and harbor work throughout the territory, Highway Engineer IT. wing M. Reed said last week.
 A grand total of $2O6, ,542.52 col lected in the first quarter of 1854 came to $179,184.43 from vehicle fuel taxes, $16,1O3.3O from boat fuel taxes and $11,254.79 from motor vehicle licenses.
 Vehicle receipts were up 11.67 over the comparable period in 1853 but receipts from boat fuel were down 1855 percent.
 Vehicle receipts fell 2O25 per cent below their 1853 level in the First Division and 33.95 percent in the Second, but were up 18.8 percent in the Third and 10.82 percent in the Fourth. Boat re- ceipts were down 1905 percent in the First and 2O.O5 in the Third.
 A meeting of the Board of Road Commissioner has been set for June IS at Fairbanks to decide how to distribute available money to the many projects on the terri tory's list. The amount which may be expended on road jobs, Reed said, is reduced by $40,000 per month which the last legislature directed had to be paid out of the motor fuel tax to the Territorial Department of Police.

Heintzleman Doubtful
 Statehood Bill Will Pass This Session of Congress

ANCHORAGE, R-Alaska even tually will get statehood, Gov. B. Frank Heintz1eman said here Sat urday, but he expressed doubt it would come in the current session of Congress.
 Speaking at the Chugiak spring carnival, the territorial governor said he had given up hope the stalemate in the House of Repre- sentatives could be broken during this session of Congress.
 But, he said, members of Con- gress have become enlightened to the demands of the Alaskan peo- pie for statehood. I am sure it will come.
 He said the opposition in Wash ington to statehood centered around several objections.
 First, he cited the Presidents mention of defense factors in dis cuSsions of statehood for the ter ritory. Second, members of Con- gress are opposed to inclusion of the undeveloped areas of the Far North and West, and others feel more development is necessary throughout the territory.
