dIlu lllo Recommendation W OtlC
Commissioners later today.
He said if his recommendation
was vetoed, he would then pro-
pose that promoters of the Rock
and Roll" shows be billed for the
extra police required to maintain
order in and around the Armory
during the shows.
Music Isn't Factor
II am not concerned with the
music" he explained. II am
concerned with law and order,
AS a result of these shows, there
have been a great many Incl
dents which have required
diverting policemen from other
neighborhoods.
IF the shows are continued
those who put them on should
be financially responsible for the
extra policemen"
He acknowledged that the
policemen still would have to
be taken from the on-duty roster
but he thought the extra cost
might discourage promoters
from putting on the shows here.
Under a House-paSSed bill,
policemen required for special
details at commercial events
would be drawn from the off,

Capitol Seeks
Additional Land
Senate Pushes Bill
To Acquire Ground

Early Senate action will be
sought on a bill approved by the
Senate Public Works Commit
tee to buy an additional square
land a half of property at the
Senate Office Building for future
expansion needs of Congress.
The measure may face some ar
Iguments in the Senate.
The bill for extension of the
Capitol grounds on the Senate
side was sponsored by Senator
Hayden, Democrat of Arizona,
who is chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, and
by Senator Bridges, Republican
of New Hampshire. ranking mi-
Inority party member of the
funds committee.
Belmont House Sought
The bill would call for the
purchase of all of the remaining
privately owned area between
First and Second streets and
Constitution avenue and D
street NE. A half square Of
this area already has been taken
as the site for the new Senate
Office Building, now under con-
struction.
The extra area to be taken in
cludes the historic Alva Belmont
House, near Second street and
Constitution avenue, now the
headquarters of the National
IWoman's Party. Spokesman for
this organization protested at
length against the razing of the
historic building, recalling that
a portion of it had been burned
by the British when they invaded
the Capital.
Includes WV Site
The area to be purchased also
includes land along First street
NE. where the Veterans of For
Ieign Wars have bought a site on
which to build a memorial. The
IVFW spokesman said they were
about ready to go ahead with
construction. There was con-
sideration at the hearings of the
possibility of Capitol officials
aiding the VFW in finding an
other location on the Capitol Hill
area. Public Works Committee
officials said this might be done
unofficially but that it was not
covered and could not be in the
Senate report on the bill.
One of the major considera-
tons for the purchase of the
additional area is economy. Sen
ator Hayden and the architect
of the Capitol, j. George Stewart,
cited experience on the House
side to show that if there is too
long delay in buying needed sites
the cost goes up. To this is added
the cost Of any private improve
ments that may be made, and
that Furthermore there has been
a steady rise in the cost of
building construction.

New Drug Supply System
Due at District General

of the catalogue and the new
ordering procedures to be used
by doctors have already beer
circulated to the medical staff
for comment before they are
put into final form.
The system is based on a study
of the hospital supply system
made by the management Office
of the District government.
Four Recommendations
The head Of the study team
w. w. Baird, last August joined
the hospital staff as registrar
Among his recommendations
which will be incorporated ir
the new system are:
/. Paul Keen, deputy superin.
tendent, will not have to approve
every requisition for supplies a.
in the past. Those in the catalog
will be ordered automatically.
2. Charles West. chief pharm-
acist, will no longer initiate pur.
chases in anticipation of doc
tors needs. Selection of drugs
will be made by a pharmacy com.
mittee, composed of doctors, lr
drawing up the new formulary
3. Institution of a better cost
accounting system to keep track
of drugs once they are bought
The purchasing Office will keer
doctors acquisitions filed to in
sure that supplies ordered are
sent to the right place.
4. Use of separate requisition
forms for different categorieS OF
supplies and drugs. to prevent
the Jumping of emergency with
non-emergency requests and OF
orders for recurrent supplies
with one-time items.

A modernized- system of pur-
chasing drugs and supplies and
seeing that they get to staff
doctors and nurses will be in
stalled soon at District General
Hospital.
The new system answers a
long-standing complaint of the
hospitals medical staff. DR..
Philip A. E. Stebbing, hospital
superintendent, said today the
new procedures should be in
operation. by July /.
These are the key features of
the new system:
l. Preparation Of a catalogue
which the hospital has never
had before-of all supplies and
equipment. other than drugs,
stocked by the hospital and
available to the staff.
2. Revision and expansion of
"a formulary-a similar listing of
drugs.
3. Acknowledgement by the
hospital purchasing Office of all
acquisitions by doctors and
nurses so staff members will
know if they are going to get
what they have ordered and how
soon.
New System Praised
DR.. Joseph Fabekas. chief of
the hospital medical staff, today
called the new system a great
advance" in meeting a problem
that has troubled us for some
time" He said catalogues will
"obviate the need for SO many
emergency orders" of items that
are or should be in the hos
pitfalls stock.

happily, faces on the inner
court, but, unhappily, he had
not seen the ducks. He had
heard about them, though,
from several sources that day.
And why shouldn't we have
ducks. in the Pentagon?" he
asked. We've got about
everything else"
More seriously, Mr.. Mulve-
hill doubted the theory that
the duck had flown in and
built a nest. He, too, felt
there wasn't enough water in
the inner court to attract even
a dry duck.
A more likely theory, he
said, was that they hoofed it
in from the wildlife sanctuary
about a mile below the Penta-
gon. He pointed out that two
of the Pentagon'S maze of
roadways lead up into the
inner court.
THE building superintend-
ent knows about Them" he
said. We're not sure Just
what we are going to do about
them. l guess we're going to
try to catch them-if we can
and give them back to the Fish
and Wildlife Service"
There was a hint, on the
way home, of what may
happen to that playful pair of
ducks which frequent the fish
ponds at noontime.
There was a pair of them
in Rock Creek where the water
rippleS down in a miniature
rapids beneath a bridge near
Klingle road. They were using
the rapids as a roller coaster.
They would begin at the
top of the rapids, sit on the
water and bounce down to a
quiet pool at the end, then
lift themselves from the water
and fly back to the top again,
and repeat the ride down.
A good day, indeed, 70
ducks.

Invasion Problem
BY JACK JONAS
1t wasn't raining, but 1t was
a good day for ducks.

IL WASH = raining, DuG IL was
a good day for ducks.
Howell Joyner, who works in
the Pentagon, was walking
around "A" ring on his way
out of the building at quitting
time. He glanced down into
the inner court.
There he saw a wild duck,
leading six ducklings across
the center of the court. Mr..
Joyner, an amateur photog-
rapher, longed for a camera.
But I can't bring one into
the building" he said. "You
know regulations"
Now the inner court of the
Pentagon is not exactly CLASH
fed as a duck habitat, So Mr..
Joyner checked into this par
ticular flock. Someone told
him the female duck had
pierced the defenses, flown
in, laid nine eggs and Matched
six of them.
That seemed like an ornitho-
logical feat of some magni-
tude-especially since the only
water at the Pentagon's inner
court has to be gotten across
the counter at the snack bar.

refers people to other people
who might have information
on such things as ducks in
the Pentagon, spoke in a
raised-eyebrows voice.

"And our cleanup men missed
it? Heavens!"
He agreed, however, that
this was indeed a good day for
ducks. He had been about to
call, he said, with reference
to a couple of other ducks.
His ducks are a pair.

from both buildings, on nice
days, go into the park there,
some to eat lunch and others
just to sit.
THE ducks waddle around,
showing off. cavorting in the
f1shponds. Occasionally some
body rewards them with a
bit of coffee cake, or some
thing. Nobody seems to know
where they come from or
where they go after their stint
in the park.

CARE.
Washington waited three years
for its first glimpse of John
Patrick's play. That makes no
difference. "Teahouse" is a work
born to be always morning fresh
and now that it is here, there is
nothing to be done but to keep
it. If, in no other way, by the
yearly blessing of the Bureau
of the Budget and the correla-
tive annual appropriation by
Congress.
"Teahouse," of course, is be-
yond any such need of subsidy.
1t Is not merely Self-supporting
but wonder-drug for any droop
In the national spirit. AS the
merry tale of how the innocents
of Okinawa brought grace to
military government before it
could bring progress to them, it
could not be more therapeutic.
The response of last nights
audience, furthermore, proved
what this corner has always in
sisted, that Washington and
"Teahouse" were made for each
other.

deliciously frail human beings
such as Sakini, Capt. Fisby and
Col. Purdy III. In these latter
two ways of life clash, the
heavenly backwardness of the
|OkinawanS and the hellish pro-
gressiveness of our own.
That the latter can lose with
so much of honor and grace is
the irresistible charm of "Tea-
house" And the explanation for
its popularity around the world
as the happiest American play
of the goth century.
In its essentials of plot and
people. the play could not be
simpler. Its principal setting is
the remote village of Tobiki.
Military government has come
here in the person of bumbling
young Capt. FiSby. He has

Sakini is a primitive but he is
also philosopher. a psychologist
and the widest of politicians. His
job is to interpret between mill
tary government and the Oki-
nawans. He is delighted to add
to it the task of explaining dem
ocracy to the invaders who
brought it with them, to inter-
pref the geisha tradition, and to
point out that a school is I'M
democratic when majority
really does not want it. He is
also an eloquent teacher of his
tory, especially that Of con-
quered conquerors.
The warmth, the wisdom, the
archnesS and the uniqueness of
the character all are caught in
Mr.. Wallbach's performance.

the three key performers. It
