defense and other problems
Chairman Hall charged:
Mr.. Butler is using this &C.
casion to promote the Democrat
cause and to trot out various
presidential candidate possible
tiles. This is another inept blum
der by Mr.. Butler. He puts every
Democratic Governor on the
spot. The Democratic Governors
would do well to emulate one of
their colleagues, Gov. Lausche of
Ohio. who is boycotting Buffers

Gov. Lausche has announced
he did not intend to Join polit-

reports will be made by Chair

The effect of the ruling will be

An Urgent Project

Having been presented with over
whelming evidence of the need for such
facilities, the Commissioners logically have
decided to go ahead with plans for con-
struction of 3o0-bed tuberculosis addition
to District General Hospital. Whatever
doubts there had been in the minds Of some
officials as to the urgency Of the institution
were cleared away recently by representa-
tives Of the medical profession. A re-exam-
nation OF the TB situation in Washington
showed that there has been no diminution
of the problem since the building first was
proposed.
The District Of Columbia still stands
second among States and comparable cities
In prevalence Of the disease. And If, in the
future, the anti-tuberculosis tight should
result In fewer victims here-a development
earnestly to be hoped for-the hospital still
would be needed for treatment OF other
chronic diseases.

'cAvU for Airiines

The fantastic aspects Of the air age have
been reflected In many ways since the be-
ginning Of World War II but perhaps none
is more impressive than the extent Of public
acceptance OF air travel.
A traffic summary for the industry
shows that total domestic passenger travel
for 1954-in terms of passenger miles
exceeded that by railroad coach and is push
ing close to the yearly total for non-com-
muting bus travel. To reach this level, the
airlines increased their business by nearly
l3 per cent over 1858 while the railroads
were recording loss of about per cent
and bus travel dropped nearly per cent.
While intense selling efforts and the
attractions OF high speed and extra service
played large part in this showing, 1t Is
also true that the matter Of fares was big
factor. In multiplying its prewar traffac by
26 times, the airline industry has raised its
average fares by only per cent since 1899.
BY contrast, noncommuting bus fares have
risen about 33 per cent and rail fares about
IS per cent Long distance, nonstop air
schedules have provided the greatest rela-
tive bargains by comparison with the time
consuming travel BY other means.
