In less than a month Wash
ington area sailors-or at least
those early birds who have boats
In commission - will be racing
of Hams Point in the 22d an
nual spring series. The Exeeu-
tive Committee of the Pottmac
River Sailing Association meet
ing this week at National Yacht
Club voted to launch their sea-
son with the traditional warmup
race on April Is.
For the next six Sundays
thereafter, through May u.
some eight or ten classes will
race double-headers starting
each Sunday at pm.
Two major changes are being
made in the spring program. To
cut down the long waiting period
between the start of the first
class and the last. the race COM
mittee will send each class off
at three instead of the tradi-
tional five-minute intervals.
The second revision involves
the Gunston Cove regatta, usu-
ally held over Memorial Day.
Because the holiday comes in the
middle Of the week and many
shippers would be concerned
over leaving their boats unat-
tended off Fort Belvoir from
Wednesday until the next week
end, the committee decided on
June 2 and 3 for this event.
Accordingly. the feet will race
from Alexandria to the cove on
a Saturday, for the Commo-
dore's Cup donated this year
by Arthur Frazer) and back on
Sunday for the Secretary's
Trophy sponsored by Seymour
Young. This arrangement won't
allow for any rest day but by
then shippers and crews should
be well broken in for the racing
season.

He said there probably are an
other 100000 employees here who
do not live in the District and
therefore are not subject to
withholding. Forms have been
prepared for employees claiming
out-of-District residence to file
with their employers.
Mr. Durham urged that any
employer who does not receive
an instruction booklet within a
reasonable time notify his Office.
Application Is Attached
Attached to the booklet is a
card for the employer to return
to the division at 300 Indiana
avenue NV. as an application
for his withholding identification
number and for various District
forms.
Forms on which the employer
may report withholding totals to
his employees. similar to the Fed
eral Governments withholding
statements. are not available
yet. but will be mailed in De-
ceInber
The District maintains that
the Withholding requirement ap-
plies to all employers of District
residents, whether or not they
are located in the District.
The District is furnishing en-
ployers with a table similar to
the one used for withholding the
Federal income tax. They will
turn over to the District four
times q year the tax money they
withhold.
Must File Returns
Taxpayers must continue to
file returns annually on April is,
even though taxes have been
withheld during the year. They
may owe more or less than the
amount withheld.
The District decided to forget
about the estimated tax declara-
ton this year. but in future
years. persons who have taxable
incomes not subject to with
holding or incomes exceeding
the amount subject to withhold
ing must file an estimate and
pay their taxes in quarterly in

whether an increase in the upper
end Of the means tests by per-
haps SIS would mean 1000 or
10000 more patents getting medi-
cal care financed at least in part
by the District. The question
mark applies to both outlay for
services and possible new facili-
ties.
$4,000 Appropriated
At the last session Of Congress,
$4,000 was appropriated to make
"a survey of hospital needs here.
This is to get the Commissioners
out Of the middle of a dispute in
which one side contends the Dis
trict is caring for too many free
patients in it's city facilities and
the other side which argues that
the city is not treating enough
and should greatly expand its
facilities.
Part Of this $4,000 will go
to pay a firm of consultants.
But District planners question
how the professional hospital
survey can be made unless there
lis definitiye information on how
large the potential hospital load
is. That's why Mr.. Lowe wants
the proposed family income sur
Ivey--to get a more accurate
idea of the free and part-pay
patient potential.
The Hospital Council of the
National Capital Area, mean
while, has been beating the
drum to raise the eligibility
standards so more medical in
|digentS can be treated at District
expense. William Butcher, exec
|utive director of the council,
wrote Commissioner David Kar-
rick last month calling for i'm
mediate action.
Help Medically INDECENT
The council, through a con-
tract with the Hospital Service
Agency. administers the hos
EQUALIZATION fund of the Com
mdnity Chest Federation. This
fund picks up the medically in
digent where the District leaves
off.
Last year, the Hospital Serv-
ice Agency made a six-month
check of persons seeking help
who were in every way eligible
for District care except that
their monthly family income was
up to $75 more than the max
imum set by the District for
free or part-pay care.
This check, Mr.. Butcher said,
showed that half the patients
who applied for Chest-supported
help would have been eligible for
medical care financed in part by
the District if the means test
had been SIS higher. Nearly 500
patients fitted into this category
during the six-month period.
Mr.. Butcher was asked how the
Chest-supported fund would be
distributed if the District relieved
it of half its present patient load.
He said there were two ways to
handle the situation. One would
be to change the eligibility STAN
Idards for privately-supported
help, to cover some people not
now eligible either for District
or Chest help. The other, he said,
would be to raise the reimburse
Iment rate paid by the Chest to
private hospitals. The present
daily rate is $14.80-which is 80
cents more than the District
pays, but nowhere near the 1888
Ia day which the private hospitals
contend the average adult pa
Itient costs them.
The survey proposed by Mr..
Lowe would cost about $25, 900.
He said his Office was attempting
Ito find the money among the
city agencies most affected.

Officially prompted by the city's
current hospital dilemma.
Seek Revised Program
Here's what lies behind it:
Since 1858, spokesman for the
lprivate hospitals and the Health
Department have been urging
the District to revise its stand
ards of eligibility for free or
Ipart-pay medical care both to
meet the rising cost of living and
to lift some Of the burden of
the private hospitals.
Every time a new plan has
been brought up-and there have
been several of them-the pro-
posal has hit the same roadblock
The city fathers want to know
how much it would cost If the
standard Of eligibility was tied
more closely to rising living
costs. And nobody can come up
with an answer.
The eligibility standards are
linked with the size Of the fam
lily. The man with only himself
to support is generally barred
from treatment except in
emergency at District General
Hospital if his monthly income
lis over 5000. If 10 persons are
supported by the family income
and it goes over $3.50, that fam
lily is barred. And the District
would not pick up the tab for
that family in a private hospital
Ieither.
Basis Of means Test"
These figures make UP the
means test" or income guide
to eligibility. There is a differ
Ient one for each size family-a
minimum below which treat
ment is free, a maximum above
which the patient is expected to
be self-supporting as far as the
District is concerned and the
area in between in which he is
expected to pay something.
officials who have gone over
and over the means test don't
like it for two reasons. First,
because, it is contended, these
figures don't reflect a wide
enough range between the pa
ltient with no dependents and
the breadwinner of a large fam
| uy. And second, because they
are theoretically geared to the
cost Of living of nearly a decade
lago.
The proposals have beer
mainly to raise the maximums
particularly for the large fam
lilies. But how many families
would be affected? Mr.. Lowe
said figures are available on the
average income of District fam
lilies and the 1860 census pro-
vides the size of District families

rent figures that tie family in
