A-Age0utdated
Medic Schools,
Senators Told
CIV Dean Urges
5-Yeur Federal
Grant Program

The atomic age has outdated
the Nations medical schools, DR..
Walter A. Bloedorn, dean of
George Washington University's
School of Medicine, told a Senate
subcommittee today.
DR.. Bloedorn urged passage of
a bill to provide a f1ve-year
program of Federal grants for
building medical educational and
research facilities.
At a hearing on the bill by
a Senate Labor subcommittee on
health DR. Bloedorn declared:
"On the one hand the existing
physical facilities of the medical
schools have gradually been de-
teriorating with the passage of
time; on the other hand many
of these facilities have been
rendered inadequate by the in
creasing complexity of medical
knowledge and the necessity for
trained medical students in terms
of this knowledge.
AS an example. few medical
schools have facilities or space
for educating physicians with
reference to the vast body of new
knowledge in the field of medical
electronics and nuclear physics. I"
He told the subcommittee the
facilities of GWU's medical
school are entirely inadequate
and We are in dire and desperate
need of a new plant"
He pointed out that the school
now is housed in a building (1335
H street N.W.) built in 1902, and
is overcrowded in its laboratories
and classrooms. Glasses, he said,
have been split into sections as
a result.
I'VE have reached the limit of
makeshift Devices" he added.
DR.. Bloedorn told the Senators
that medical schools have "ex-
plored every possible source"
without finding funds for needed
alterations, modernization and
construction.
DR.. Bloedorn said more phy-
sicians will be needed in the fu-
ture because of new fields of
knowledge, the increasing num-
Der of medical specialties, in
creasing population. rapidly ex-
panding research programs and
the increasing proportion in the
population of persons in the
older age groups.
DR.. Bloedorn is a member of
the Association of American
Medical Colleges Committee on
Financing Medical Education.

Maurer. who last year was

separate trial should have been
held on each count of the five
count indictment.
But the appellate court held:
"It does not appear that the
appellant tMaurer) was embar-
rassed or confounded in his de-
fense because all counts were
tried together. That the jury
clearly understood the differ
ences between the counts is
shown by the discernment dis
played in acquitting on one
charge, convicting on two and

Reaches Run
BridgeBacked

Wilbur Smith Associates, con-
sultants to the National Capitol
Planning Commission, today
handed in a new report elaborat-
ing on their stand in favor of
building a Reaches Run Bridge
at some unspecified time in the
future.
This position is not in con-
f1ict with the position of the
District Highway Department,
whose director, John N. Robert
son, said today he has no OBJ
lection to an additional span
there "if it becomes necessary
in the future" Mr.. Robertson
said. however, that on the basis
of Highway Department con-
sultants' findings a Reaches Run
Bridge is unnecessary at this
time.
The Highway Department
consultantS. DeLeuw Gather.
have recommended building a
replacement for the upriver span
of the Fourteenth Street Bridge
at about the same location as
the existing upriv:r crossing.
The consultants agree with the
Highway Department that a
Reaches Run Bridge would be
desirable only if proved neces-
sary in the future.
$4,000 Trips Seen
The Smith Associates pointed
out that the Fourteenth Street
Bridge and Reaches Run
Bridge. as a Southwest portal"
to Washington, will accom-
modate 81 per cent of trans
Potomac River traffic by 1870,
when the traffic volume is ex-
pected to reach as much as $685.
900 trips per day.
Inc report 1urCner stated that
the existing Fourteenth Street
Bridge. while providing direct
and convient access to the
downtown area. handles only
80 per cent of total peak hour
traffic as opposed to AZ per cent
of the total daily movement.
'The limitations of available
bridge capacity are clear" the
report declared.
The consultants stated fur
ther that the new Webb g.
Knapp plan for redeveloping
Southwest Washington would
induce about 800 trans-river
trips into the area during peak
traffic hours.

City Faces Cut
of S4 Million
InU.S.Payment
House Group Fovors
Trimming Budget
On Bridge Plons
By DON S. WARREN

A 81 million cut in the $40
million Federal payment prob
ably will be recommended by
the House Appropriations SUBJ
committee considering the city
SITS million budget, it was in.
dicated today.
There was no formal an.
nouncement, but indications
were the subcommittee would
knock out of the bill about $3.5
million for beginning work on
a bridge over the Potomac on
the line of Constitution avenue.
With this out of the bill. the
idea was the Districts cost could
be reduced by a comparable
amount and maybe a little more,
as House members tried to cut
expenses
Congress has authorized a
bridge across the Potomac in the
downtown section. and funds to
start this are proposed in the
1856 budget. There is a dispute
over the bridge. however, and
it has been anticipated the Dis
trict subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee would
make cuts in the city spending
bill.
Secret Meeting Held
Members of the District SUBJ
committee yesterday held FOUR
hour secret meeting. Later, The
Star was informed the decision
was to cut off $35 to 81 million
on the Federal payment and cut
out the bridge.
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat, of Michigan, in charge Of
the District 1856 appropriation
bill, refused to make any declar-
alton as to what his group had
decided.
Last year, similar move was
made by the District subcom.
mittee of the House Appropria-
tions Committee to reduce the
Federal payment by 81 million.
It. was overridden in a vote in
the House. when District friends
took the floor to explain that
years financial crisis to the
chamber.
1t was an upset from normal
procedure when the House over
rode its appropriations commits
tee to insist upon a full $40 mill
lion payment as authorized In
legislative law.
Same Issue Seen.
The same issue apparently
will arise this year when the
District budget comes up for
final House vote.
Last year tne move to cut
down on the Federal payment
was defeated because the Dis
trict was embarking upon a To-
year, $305 million program Of
development, under which not
less than SIS million in. new
taxes was being laid on District
residents while the Federal share
was being increased from $12
million to $40 million.
Something of the same STU
alton exists today, when new
District taxes are being pro
posed to meet expected costs of
an increase in the pay of Fed
eral and District employees.
Under the District public
works revenue law. put into
force last year. there was a big
jump in District taxes. along
with an increase in the Federal
payment. Spokesman for the
city said it would be a violation
of an agreement if Congress now
were to let increased city taxes
stand. while reducing the size Of
the Federal payment.
