AuchlincIoss Reveals
Bill 10 Raze Tempos,
Erect New Buildings
Revised Measure
Authorizes Offices
In Southwest Area
By George Beveridse

Representative Auchincloss,
Republican, of New Jersey to-
day made public the revised
draft of a bill to authorize new
Federal Office buildings in the
Southwest redevelopment area.
The bill provides that for
each such Office building put UP,
a tempo "of approximately
equivalent occupancy would be
demolished.
He said he would introduce the
measure later today and press
for early hearings by the House
Public Works Committee.
Top Support Sought.
Immediately. however. he said
he would ask that the bill be sent
to the Budget Bureau and Gen.
eral Services Administration in
a bid for top-1evel administration
support.
The construction OF new Office
buildings-to replace unsightly
Mall tempos-is a key part of
the plan proposed by William
Zeckendorf, New York real estate
man, for rebuilding about $50
acres Of the Southwest water
front.
The new bill contains only mi
nor revisions in measure Mr..
Auchincloss introduced at the
end of the 83d Congress and on
which one hearing was held.
ase-Purchase Plan.
It would permit GSA to buy
land in the redevelopment area,
then enter contracts for the con-
struction of new Office buildings
by private investors. GSA would.
in effect, rent the Office space
under 30-year '.lease-purchase"
contracts, at the end Of which
time the buildings would belong
to the Government.
Mr. Auchincloss said he ex-
pected other questions would be
raised on his bill, but said he
felt they should be worked out
in committee hearings.
There has been some senti-
ment for trying to work through
the new Federal lease-purchase
act to accomplish the purposes
Of Mr.. Auchincioss' bill. But 1t
now appears the strategy viii be
to seek enactment Of the measure
applying the lease purchase
principle exclusively to the
Southwest area.

Seven Waves Strike

BY ,hs Assoeiaisd Press

TAIPEH, Formosa, Jan. TO-
One hundred Chinese Red planes
in seven waves unleashed the
heaviest Communist air attack
against Nationalist territory in
strikes today on the strategic
Tachen Islands, the Defense
Ministry said.
From dawn until late after
noon Russian-built light bomb
ers, fighter-bomber and MIG
jet fighters roared over the is
lands 200 miles north of Formosa.
The ministry claimed two of the
attackers were shot down and
two damaged by ground fire.
The ministry said civilian cas-
ualties were considerable" but
made no mention of military
damage on the two mountainous
islands, where possibly 10000
troops and guerrillas are well dug
in. Ten houses were reported
destroyed.
Might Signal Invasion.
While there was talk that the
heavy raid might signal a long,
expected invasion Of the Tach-
ems, there also was speculation
that Red China wanted to show
an uncompromising, tough pol
icy toward the United States.

For both the Government and

key witnesses forget the facts or

Recent Study Cited.
A recent study Of the time
consumed from the filing Of q

Federal courts and the backlog
Of cases in these courts shows:
During the year ending July /.
1854, United States District
Courts disposed of 93,16l cases
but left pending an additional
1881.
This backlog has accumulated
over years but in recent years
has increased at a swifter rate.
During the past three years.
the backlog of criminal cases in
creased 81 per cent and the
backlog Of civil cases % per cent.
On the basis Of last years rate
OF disposing Of cases. 1t would
take all the District Court judges
10 months merely to eliminate
the backlog without touching
the current business.
In theory, the courts should
try to dispose Of cases within six
months after they are filed. But
a cross-section of District Courts
showed 1875 months elapsed from
the time a suit was filed until
its disposition during the past
fiscal year. In these courts, 1t
took 81 months from calendar
ing to trial.
Delay in New York.
Some courts were in far worse
shape. In the Southern District
OF New York. which encompasses
New York City. the litigant could
expect to wait $50 months for
his civil case to get to trial after
calendaring and as months from
the time he filed suit until the
case was decided.
In the Eastern District Of New
York, located in Brooklyn. the
usual time from filing suit to
disposition was 39.5 months.
In the District of Columbia.
It took an average Of % months
after the case was ready for trial
to get TO trial in civil jury case

OF Pennsylvania, which includes
Philadelphia. the interval from
filing suit to disposition was 24.7

Hospital Need
D. c. Heads to Study
Pleu to Resume Plan
For 800 Bed Unit
BY John MeKeIwoy

The Commissioners today
were presented with a solid
front of medical opinion stress
ing the immediate need for Q
3O0-bed tuberculosis hospital on
the grounds Of D. C. General
Hospital. =
Architectural designs for the
hospital, to be built at a, cost
$3.4 million and approved BY the
last Congress, were suspended in
October. The Commissioners
at that time asked for a re-
evaluation of the need for such
a hospital by the Health De-
partment.
Today DR.. Daniel Seckfngef,
director of health, restated the
need for the hospital and was
backed by top authorities on
tuberculosis, including repre-
sentatives Of the Public Health
Service and Georgetown and
George Washington Medical
Schools.
Commissioner Spencer said the
matter would be taken under adj
visement.
354 Beds Seen Needed.
In October, when plans were
halted, Commissioner Spencer
said it had been brought to his
attention that the waiting list
of tuberculosis patients In need
of disqualification had dropped
to a point where a restudy, Of
the tuberculosis picture was
needed. The Health Depart
ment. at that time, was unable
to produce figures which could
statistically prove the need for
the hospital.
The re-evaluation of the tu-
berculosis situation, as presented
by DR.. Seckinger today, called
for:
So beds, for efficient operation
OF existing facilities,
152 beds for provision Of ade-
quate rehabilitation of tubercu-
losis patients.
lao beds needed in view Of o
stepped-up, case-finding program
to be started soon in which adj
ditional cases OF tuberculosis
would be turned up.
Total number Of beds needed.
according to the Health Depart
ment, Is q minimum Of 354.
"White Elephant" Feared.
Commissioner Spencer empha-
sized that plans were halted only
when the Commissioners felt the
hospital might, in time and in
view of improved methods of
tuberculosis treatment. become a
white elephant"
Along these lines, DR.. Seek
niger said that If a point was
reached in the future where tu-
berculosis had been given q
knockout blow in the community,
the 500 bed hospital could be con-
verted into a Chronic disease"
hospital. He said there was Inn
mediate need for hospital treat
ment and rehabilitation of per-
sons suffering from chronic dis
ease. such as heart disease and
cancer. He estimated that in
1860 some $1,000 persons with
chronic disease will be in need

when planning hospital con.
struction,' DR.. Seckinger said,
"the capacity and facilities
should be provided in relation
to our anticipated future needs.
In the final analysis. 1t Is
on this basis that the 3O0-bed
unit was planned"
Would Convert Hospital.
DR.. Seckinger also revealed q
future plan to convert the Up
shur Street Hospital--now a re-
habilitation ceiiter for tubercu-
losis patients-into a general
rehabilitation center. Patients
would be transferred to facilities
made available by the construc-
