FACE-LIFTING FOR OLD STONE HOUSE
Officials Question Need
Of Hospital Addition,

stead, they are the result Of the
relative speed with which tuber-
culoSis cases can now be treated.
This has come about through the
widespread use Of alitimicrobial
drugs and chest surgery. More
beds are madO available but for
more cases of tuberculosis.
One TB ofiicial said figures
presented at the meeting showed
that, in 1853, the average Of stay
was about 40 days. but in 1854
it was cut to $40 days--about 81
months less. But AIS persons
were admitted to Glenn Dale In
1858. compared to $40 patients
admitted in 1884.
Added to these figures is an
estimated 8 per cent Of all per-
sons released from hospitals who
suffer relapses and are again In
need Of disqualification, There are
more cases found. but fewer beds
needed. as one expert described
the situation.
Favers Projeet
A Health Department spokes-
man said the department favors
construction Of the hnilding but
Il undecided what ii should be
used for at the moment. DR..
Daniel I. Seckinger, health dr.
rector. has long emphasized the
need for more chronic disease
beds in the District. These would
be to care for persons suffering
from heart ailments, cancer and
other long-term illnesses.
But as one health ofiicial
pointed out. chronic diseases are
not communicable diseases; the
health Of a community Is not en-
dangered by their presence. as is
the case with Tuberculosis. The
need for facilities to meet the
problem Of chronic disease Is
harder to sell"

plans have been completed. and

It soon will be up to the Dis
trict Commissioners to decide
again whether the city, needs q
800 bed. $S.4 million hospital ad-
dition at District General-for
any purpose.
Apparently, there Is no longer
q pressing need" for the hospi-
tai, originally planned for the
treatment Of tuberculosis when
long hospital waiting lists Of ac-
tive tuberculosis cases pointed
up a need for additional facil-
tiles.
At least this was indicated
yesterday. following a four-hour
meeting Of the Commissioners
Health Advisory Council, In ses-
sion to discuss the tuberculosis
picture in Washington. The
council is expected to take some
action on the question Of the
hospital shortly.
No Longer In Need !
Maj. on1er CLARK, chairmara Of
the council, said it Is his per-
sonal opinion the city is no
longer in need Of additional hos
pital beds for tuberculosis. But
he added that whether the htsiid-
ing should go up-perhaps for
use as q chronic disease or re-
habiIitation center--is another
question.
Last January, when the Com
decided to go ahead
with plans for the hospital,
Health Department officials ex-
planned the building would be de-
signed with an eye toward future
conversion into q chronic dis
ease hospital. once the need for
additional tuberculosis beds had
eased In the District.
Figures presented at the closed
session yesterday showed the
present marked vacancy Of tu-
berculosis beds In all District
facilities engaged in the treat
ment of tuberculosis. These in
clude District General, Glenn
Dale and Upshur street hospi-
tails.
Bed Vacancies
The marked vacancies in beds
the highest number in the
history Of tuberculosis in WASH
ington--is the chief reason the
hospitals need is being ques-
toned. it was explained.
Vacancies have not been
created because tuberculosis has
been licked In the Washington
area. one expert explained. In

Formula Would
Add Funds for
Nearby Areas

A new formula for distributing
State aid to education in Viz.
ginia. which would result in fast.
growing areas getting several
hundred thousand dollars more
each year, has been proposed BY
the State Department Of Edu-
cation.
FOR the 1887 school year, the
four nearby jurisdictions
|lington, Alexa1 aria, Falls Church
and FairfaxLwould have re-
Iceived $316.So5 more had the
formula been in effect.
Delegate John c. Webb Of
Fairfax said today he had been
informed Of the proposal BY
State Supt. Of Public Instruc-
Ition Dowell ]. Howard.
DR.. Howard told The Star
today that the proposed for
|mula-which Mr.. Webb had
sought to get approved by the
1854 Legislatures designed to
distribute funds on q more
equitable basis ito such fast
growing areas as those near
Washington and around Norfolk. "
Attendance Is Basis
School funds are distributed
on q complicated average daily
attendance" (ADA) formula. In
general, this means that the
States share of teacher salaries
lis pro-rated among the various
counties and cities based on
school enrolment for the preced-
ling year.
Hence the fast-growing com-
munities-such as the nearby
areas-always have many thou
sand more students in school
each year but receive State aid
only on the preceding years en-
lrollment.
Under the new proposal by DR..
Howard. the formula would be
based on the current years en-
lrollment.
DR.. Howard offered the plan
lat the current series of hearings
jim Richmond by Gov. Stanley's
Budget Advisory Committee. It
lis now preparing the budget to
|. be submitted to the General
Assembly In January.
| Praises Support
THE recommendation Of the
State Board Of Education, Mr..
webb said, should result In
substantial financial gains for
Ithe entire 10th district. It is
lbut another example of the fact
that the problems Of Northern
Virginia can be and are being
Iremedied because of the iIl.i
iherent rightness of the position
taken by members of the North
Iern Virginia delegation and the
support they have received from
the people and organizations Of
this area"
In all. the Stat. board sub
United budget reuuests totaling
i$147. .000,0 for the next two
Eyear period. OF this amount.
I$l38. .204. .504 would come from
the general fund--an increase Of
nearly 80 per cent over the cur
rent biennium.
Yesterday the Governor and
his advisors heard additional
requests from 20 State agencies,
the Associated Press reported.
The pleas for increases contin-
'ued to draw sharp picture of
rising governmental costs.
$50 Million Increase
increases over l954-56 budget
appropriations requested yester-
day for the 1868 bienniurn
Itotaled nearly $40 million. rais-
ing to more than $50 million the
increases sought from the States
general fund in the first two
days of the hearings in the State
Senate chamber here.
And more requests were to.
come today on the hearings.
The $50 million represents an
average of some 40 per cent
more than the requesting agen-
cies received in the present BIZ
ennium.
It does not include capital
outlay requests, which now
amount to more than $50 million
from the tax-fed general fund.
