With such an abundance of

we can now concentrate all

School Tax
Branded UnreoIistic'

The proposal to levy a sepa-
rate tax in the District to sup
port the schools is unrealistic
as long as Congress retains the
power to pass on details Of school
expenditures. Brig. Gen. Thomas
A. Lane. District Engineer Com
missioner, said last night.
Gen. Lane, speaking on RE
port to the People" over radio
station WWDC, said a separate
school tax would not materially
affect school finances under the
present Congress-District setup
If Congress were to relinquish
its authority over District ap-
preparations, then consideration
of such proposals might merit
more consideration, the Com
missioner said.
Independence Sought
1t has been suggested recently
that school finances should be
more independent of the general
District budget. Among the
proposals have been the ear
marking of certain revenues for
school use or the establishment

Along with the museums size

prime factor in looking for a site.

is equally unrealistic so long as

ID. c. Mental Unit Plans

Isize that the planning should be
based on the needs of the COM
munity in which they are to be
located and what other PSYCHE
atric facilities are available. The
plans shown in publications re-
viewed by The Star were all diff
ferent, designed to meet different
needs. They illustrated that no
one standard applies to all.
Comparisons Noted
Here are the approximate
square footage and facilities of
a few Of the recently constructed
institutions:
Nebraska Psychiatric Institute
of the University of Nebraska
Medical Center-About half OF
the $4,000 square feet is devoted
Ito patient services, including 80
beds. The remainder consists of
teaching, laboratory and admin
istrative areas. Such devices as
one-way mirrors. two-way sound
equipment, a multiple-camera
ltelevision system and other spe-
cial observation devices are
among numerous facilities that
make this more elaborate than
what is planned here.
Receiving Building. Anoka
State Hospital. Anoka, Mimi
More than 1000 square feet ap-
pears to be provided per bed.
with a swimming pool among
the more elaborate facilities.
Psychiatric Addition to Jack
son Memorial Hospital. Dade
County, FLA l00-bed unit
with a maximum of four beds
to a room and approximately
$40 square feet per bed, but the
arrangement ''presuppoSes a
higher than normal nursing
personnel for private patients. "
Psychiatric Institute. Univer-
Isity of Maryland Hospital. Balti-
more-This unit averages 819
square feet per patient and
among its more elaborate facili-
ties are a l00-seat lecture hall,
equipped with projection room
for sound films; one-way mir
rors to observe treatment and
microphones through which in
iterviews with patients can be
broadcast or recorded.
Disturbed Patients Building
Springfield State Hospital, /,
Sykesyille, Md.-The 100-bed
building averages 922 square feet
Iper patient bed and more than
so per cent Of the beds are in
single rooms. Two day rooms
are provided for each Of the
-four 25-bed units.
Norton Psychiatric Clinic.
Louisville. Ky.-The psychiatric
unit and the department for the
treatment Of alcoholism share a
six-story wing of the Norton
Memorial Infirmary, a private
general hospital. The 43-bed
Ipsychiatric clinic and the 30

and equipped at cost Of ST.

Districts coming May l election
lof party officers and delegates to
the national presidential nomi-
mating conventions?
This question is one which the
Icity's newly appointed board Of
elections will attempt to settle
soon, probably next week. in con-
ferences with the Civil Service
Commission.
Board Chairman Newell w. Ell
Ilison said he assumes Govern
'ment workers covered by the
Hatch Act are entitled to vote,
but that they can do no partisan
campaigning.
Other Questions Noted
However, he said. there are
other questions. Can they help
in getting potential voters to
register for the city's first gov
ernmentally y-sponsored election
since 1892
Are they entitled to encourage
voting, and ring doorbells to get
out the vote. as civic respon-
sibility?'
All these questions. he de-
clared, must be settled by csc.
which is the Interpreter of the
Hatch Act.
Following q meeting OF the
board to discuss ALLEGATION Of its
proposed $4,000 budget for the
coming election. Mr.. Ellison said
the ballot will be one Of the
longest in the country.
Bulletin Being Prepared
Because slate voting Is pro-
|hibited, he said, each delegate
and each party position must be
toted for separately.
Although he said 1t is uncer-
tain what the final number Of
candidates will be. Mr.. Ellison
pointed out there will be about
rs positions open on the Demo-
cratic Central Committee alone,

He said the board also plans
