Council Urges
Hospital Airing

The Commissioners Health
Advisory Council has asked the
city heads to publicize it's first,
12-day-old proposal to improve
conditions at District General
Hospital.
The proposal, adopted April
20. is to grant $237,O00 to
F'reedmen's Hospital and other
private Washington hospitals to
ease the burden at District Gen.
eral, as requested last summer
by the Health Department.
The funds were cut out of the
Districts budget for the coming
fiscal year by the Commission
ers in attempting to balance
city spending against income.
The council did not suggest
where to find the additional
funds involved.
The Councils action came
during study of secret, 38-page
report by staff physicians at the
General Hospital.
Move Adopted
Meeting yesterday, the Council
adopted this resolution:
That in the interest of hav-
Ing the personnel at the District
OF Columbia General Hospital
aware of the fact that their
problems are being studied and
because we think it is in the
public interest to do so, it is
moved that our prior resolution
be re-affirmed, and given to the
press and we hope the Commits
sioners will see fit to do So"
The earlier resolution said
because large part of the in
creased load now existing at Dis
trict of Columbia General Hos
pital is the result of curtailment
of services in certain other in
stitutions in the city due to an
overall shortage of funds, it is
recommended that an increase
of 100000 be made available to
the Freedmen's Hospital and an
increase of $4,000 be made
available for allotment to the
private (contract) hospitals"
To Consider Summary
The council is to meet again
Tuesday to consider a summary
o fthe situation at General Hos
pital being prepared by Chair
man Omer Clark and the execu-
tive secretary. Richard Town
send.
District budget officials have
banned further payment for
tubercular cases at Freedmen's
and shifted emergency ambu-
lance cases fro mother hospitals
to District General.
Representatives of the pri-
vate hospitals have asked Con-
gress for an increase in District
spending to enable them to care
or medically INDECENT patients.

police contributions to the re-
tirement fund was introduced
yesterday in the Montgomery
County Councils May legislative
session.

by Mrs. Stella B. Werner and

however, is free to join the county
system at any time.

Mccarthy Letter Asks
Eisenhower if He Is
Trying 10 Free Flyers
BY the Associated Press

Senator Mccarthy Republi-
can Of Wisconsin, asked Presi-
dent Eisenhower yesterday
what, if anything, he was do
ing to obtain the freedom Of
American servicemen held pris-
oner by the Chinese Communists.
In a terse letter to the Chief
Executive, Senator Mccarthy
said "the mothers, fathers and
wives get no information from
you on this as though they had
40 right to know"
Senator Mccarthy added, II
submit that you are mistaken In
this and would like to hear from
you as to what, If anything. you
are doing or propose to do to
secure the freedom Of those
young men"
The White House confirmed
receipt of Senator McCarthy's
letter, but said it would have no
comment.
Patience Urged.
Mr.. Eisenhower has urged pa
thence in efforts to win the re-
lease of II American airmen
whom Communist China an
nounced she had imprisoned on
spy charges. and of four others
also held by the Reds. He has
rejected demands from some
quarters for an immediate block
ade of Red China to force re-
lease of the men, and said 1t
must be remembered the lives OF
the flyers are at stake.
The United Nations secretary
general. Dag Hammarskjold,
went to Communist China to
seek freedom for the imprisoned
Americans and other U. N. troops
who had been captured in Korea
but who have not been released
since the armistice.
Mr.. Hammerskjold's efforts
brought no immediate results,
but he said the door had been
opened to further moves, and
expressed hope the flyers even
tually would be released.
U. N. Efforts Continue
Efforts have since been con-
tinued through both U. N. and
diplomatic channels.
Senator Mccarthy, in his let
ter to Mr.. Eisenhower, said the
U. N. command had asked for
IAN accounting of 944 Ameri-
can uniformed men who have
disappeared" behind the bamboo
curtain but that "the Chinese
Communists have thumbed their
nose at u.s."
CAS- commander in chief" Sen
ator Mccarthy wrote, you know
that those Americans were
caught in a trap not of their
making .
LAS you know, when the Chi
nese Communists announced the
sentencing of the II uniformed
American men, Dag Hammarsk-
iold made a leisurely trip to
China and was pictured slipping
tea with Chou En-lai while
American uniformed men were
being brainWashed in Commu-
mist dungeons.
What happened at the Ham,
marskjold meetings? What are
you doing now as commander
in-chief to secure the freedom
of those 944 American uniformed
men under your commando"
