District Urged

For Negligence

Against Widow

A Federal appellate court to-

to allow negligence suits against
the District even in cases involv-
ing a Government function.
The suggestion was made by
the United States Court of APP
peals for the District of CO.
|lumbia in upholding a previous
ruling by Federal Judge Alex
Iander Holtzoff.
Judge Holtzoff regretfully had
dismissed a suit against the Dis
trict brought by the widow of a
man who died of a brain in

The victim, Harry Calomeris,

been hit in a brawl with ex-

Mrs. CalomeriS' suit for negli-
Igence had charged that when
her husband went to the District
General Hospital for treatment
he was merely given two aspirins.
Two days later, 1t was asserted,
his injury was diagnosed at
Garfield Hospital as cerebral
Iconcussion and hemorrhage. He
died shortly afterWard
Under the law, the District is
immune from negligence suits
when it Is performing a Govern
ment function. Judge Holtzof
held that since the General Hos
Ipital is operated by the District
for the INDECENT i'll, it's operation
lis a Government function. Thus,
he reasoned, the suit was in
valid, even though Mr.. Calomeris
paid for the treatment.
Today. the appellate court de-
Iclared, I'VE agree with Judge
Holtzoff that the defense of Gov
ernmental function to a COM
Iplaint for negligence. mistreat-
ment or malpractice is AN OBJ
solescent and dying doctrine
but we also agree with him that
since it is a phase of Govern

suggestion that the attention of

Function Not Changed
Citing the claim of Mrs. Gallo
meris that since her husband
was a paid patient, the hospital
In treating him, was not per-
llornlng a governmental func-
tion, the court declared: ". We
think the nature of the function

patient. A proprietary (private
enterprise) hospital would not
become a governmental operation
because it admitted a few in
digent or charity patients. And
the converse is true. :"
The court continued: 1T is
clear there would be no General
Hospital If there were no neces-
sity to care for the INDECENT sick.
That is its purpose and it's func-
ton. To care for pay patients
is not part of its purpose; such
care is purely collateral, Incl

Officials of the National Asso-

that moves are under way to

State officials have interpreted
a Federal court ruling in Rich

Has Changed
The new look is
shoekinsly beautiful

We are just leaving the era of the
heavily masked complexion that
had a frankly phony color. The
cake foundation that first came a
long time ago had US all, for
years, wearing a false Florida
suntan, no matter how northern
and freezing our actual life was.
Suddenly these glaring, false
faces seemed as old fashioned as
high button shoes.
The current fashion for faces is
this: first, lighter color r-paler
makeup to give the skin more
fragile, sheltered look. And new
makeup textures, which hide the
sins of skin, but do not mask it so
entirely. There is a more lumi-
nous, pearl-like look to the COM
plexion these days and a certain
fragility that's oh! so very femi-
nine so completely disarming.
You can get this shockingly beau
tiful new effect with LANoLIN Plus

this is the only liquid makeup in

SiCiss Catholics
Double Number

BERNE, Switzerland-(NC) -
Within less than a century the
Catholics of Switzerland have al
most doubled their number.
Official statistics released here
indicate that over two million Ca
tholics reside in this country at
the present time, as against a lit
tie over one million In 1860.
AT the same time, however, the
relation between the Catholic and
the national population has re-
mained virtually unchanged. In
1860, 40.7 per cent of the popu-
lation of Switzerland was Catho-
lie. Today the percentage is 41.6.
The vitality of Swiss Catholic
ism is indicated by the circula-
ton increase of the Catholic
daily press. There are now 81 Ca
tholic publications.
