BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG

The District Commissioners
today deferred action on OPEN
ing the unused locked ward at
District General Hospital to
house accused criminals until
money can be found to staff it.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
in approving the delay in order
to study budget requests, said he
hoped to have the problem set
tied by the end of the week.
The Commissioners heard
warnings from health officials
that the defendants now coming
into the hospital for mental OBJ
servation are dangerous men
facing long prison terms. The
possibility OF their escape from
the open wards Of the psychiat-
rio division was emphasized.
Budget Requests Made
The decision to defer action
until after all Health Depart
ment budget requests have been
reviewed was made after Com
missioner Robert E. Mclaughlin
proposed using present funds to
hire the personnel needed to
open the ward and then asking
for a supplemental budget re-
quest to make it UP.
Health Ofiicer Daniel l.. Seek
niger estimated that stating the
ward would cost $50, 900 for the
rest of this fiscal year and an
annual appropriation of $75,000.
He and other health officials
emphasized, however, that the
psychiatric team requested for
the locked ward would also work
in the rest Of the hospitals
psychiatric division.
Commissioner Spencer COM
that a supplemental re-
quest seemed justified since the
problem had arisen as the result
of a new law approved by Con-
gress late last session. The law
provides for mental examinations
of criminals at the hospital
rather than at the Jail.
Larger STAFF Needed
In that connection. Hospital
Supt. Philip A. e. Steb-
bing told the Commissioners:
I'VE keep getting extra jobs to
do. We're dangerously under
now. We just can't stand
having these additional duties
added to us without more staff
being provided"
Commissioner Mclaughlin
pointed out that the ward had
been constructed with Its barred
doors and safety screens at a
cost Of $4,000 to house narcotic
addicts committed under another
recent law. He said the ward
was never used for lack Of stan

asked.
"Oh. I'll put 1t up in the

would have dificulty finding
place among the other honors
that have descended upon her In
Increasing profusion since she
first came to Washington in 1917
as q young bride and home
maker.
Two Of the other notable
'.firsts' Mrs. Doyle has achieved

Stone House
Work Pledged

Secretary Of the Interior
Mckay has assured the Progress
sive Citizens Association OF
Georgetown the fight to preserve
Old Stone House at 3O51 M street
NV. win be concluded ito the
satisfaction Of your association
on or before December 81 Of
this year"
The Secretary wrote to Mrs.
Harold B. Hinton, vice president
and chairman Of the associa-
tons Committee to Save Old
Stone House.
At its meeting on October 3
the citizens group asked MIR.
Mckay and the director of the
National Park Service to cause
the Parkway Motor Co., tenants
of the property at 3o51 NJ street,
TO vacate the premises immedi-
ateiy. The association also
saught to restore the rear por-
ton of the property to residen-
tial use.
Mrs. Hinton pointed out that
the rear 1888 square feet of the
lot was zoned for residential
purposes, but was being used
by the motor company as a used
car lot.
Old Stone House was acquired
by an act of Congress In 1850 as
part Of the National Parks Sys-
tenn and designated for restora-
ton as a museum. It has been
leased to the motor company
since that time, since funds for
restoration work we're not avail
able.
Since it became likely that
restoration funds would be avail
able in July, 1855, the Parkway
Motor Co. has been asked to
vacate the property. The COM
pany moved out of the house in
July, but still are using the lot.
