There aren't many conditions
which will support a marriage
annulment. But one of them
and perhaps the most frequent
lis fraud.
AS to what constitutes the
type Of fraud that will warrant
annulment, there is plenty of
argument.
The case of Helenita Stephen
son, Washington war widow who
has been trying to get back a
forfeited service pension. is a
graphic illustration.
Mrs. Stephenson's Navy hus-
band was killed in World War
II. Thereafter she was granted
a widows pension from the
Government. In 1916 Mrs.
Stephenson remarked, thus los
| ing her pension; but she had
this marriage annulled in 1855
after learning that her second
husband was subject to epilepsy
Now she seeks reinstatement of
her pension.
The Washington district court
which annulled the marriage
did SO on grounds that Mrs.
Stephenson's second husband
had misstated the true condition
of his health. And this, in the
eyes of the court, was fraud SUI
ficient for an annulment.
VAS Stand Is Different
The Veterans Administration,
initially at least, took the posi-
ton that the annulment was not
binding. According to the laws
of New York where the second
marriage took place, the VA
said, such fraud is not recognized
as grounds for annulment.

The Washington Hospital Cen
ter which opens it's doors next
summer is one of the Districts
best dreams come true.
The 800 bed institution
planned for over 10 years, will
house in one administrative and
clinical unit three of the city's
oldest hospitals-G Emer-
gency. and Episcopal Eye, Ear
and Throat.
The center is being constructed
on a 47-acre tract on the Sol
diers Home grounds between
Michigan avenue and the pro-
posed East-West freeway. There
will be parking for LOO cars.
DR.. w. T. Brown, recently
named administrator of the new
hospital center, paints a glowing
picture for area physicians in an
editorial in the current issue of
the Medical Annals of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the journal of
the District Medical Association.
Like a Race Track
The surgical suite is being
shaped something like a race
track with is operating rooms on
the outside and a corridor run
ming around them. On the other
side of the corridor--the "in-
f1eld"-will be rooms for nurses
and surgeons.
Air conditioning throughout
will permit the X-ray depart
ment to be placed underground,
minimizing the problem of radi-
alton shielding, and a deep
therapy machine will be placed
in another underground room.
Chest X-ray screening will be
provided for all patients. Units
for medical, surgical and obstet-
rical patients will be provided
and care will be taken of mental
ly disturbed patients who need
short term psychiatric treat
ment.
To date the only voluntary
nonprof1t hospital here to pro-
vide for psychiatric treatment
separately is George Washing
ton University Hospital.
An emergency area next to the
outpatient department will pro-
