City Health Unit
Asks Fund Rise
Of ST. Million
D. c. General Seeks
Big Spending Boost
For Added Services
By HECTOR MCLEAN

The District Health Depart
ment, center of repeated budg-
etary storms. has asked the
Commissioners for $1,784,l2l
more than the $26,566,00 rec
commended by the City Budget
Office.
The disclosure of departmental
appeals for funds for the coming
year came today after the Com
missioners withdrew a ban on
publication of the requests.
The total SIT million request
broke down into three major
fields. OF this, $428,538 was re-
quested for District General
Hospital by its superintendent,
DR.. Philip A. E. Stebbing. At
the same time, however, the
Commissioners let the medical
staff, headed by DR.. Joseph F.
Fazekas, move a bid for an ad-
ditional $1,238,187.
Other requests of the Health
Department totaled $117,396.
Mental Health Bids
The latter requests were for
three mental health nurses
$4,000; two mental health clinic
teams, $52,17l, and 10 public
health inspectors, $48,890.
DR.. Stebbing said he had re-
quested only part of the total of
SIS million desired by the medi-
cal staff on the theory that the
District would not have sufficient
funds to grant the full request.
He said. however, that he had
forwarded to the Commissioners
the staff request for hearing
on additional items in view of
the argument that the needs
would never be granted if the
city heads were not aware of
them.
The District Medical Society
recently criticized DR.. Daniel l..
Seckinger for not asking enough
money to run his department,
and denied charges that what
he did request was asking for
the moon"
DR.. Stebbing's request was for
SO nursing jobs in the psychiatric
division, plus a medical officer
for juveniles. psychologist, a
social worker for juveniles and
an administrative clerk.
New Personnel Sought
For the operating room and
supply DR.. Stebbing asked Z jobs
in unsatisfactory, 6 jobs in sur
gerry and II nursing positions.
In the admitting and emer-
gency Office. he requested medi-I
cal officer, 3 clerks and 16 nurs-
ing jobs.
He also requested funds to
equip the fifth floor surgery, an
X-ray for the obstetric depart

Of medicine and $55,215 for extra

The medical staff, in addition,
requested $50,953 for the labora-
tories, $440,3 for nurses. &c.,
278 in the X-ray service, $195, ITS
in the out-patient clinic and
SOB, ASS for physical medicine
and rehabilitation.
Under the heading of treat
ment service, the staff requested
an additional $84,23l in medi-
cine: $l6,720, dental; $9,757,
unsatisfactory; $57,668, pedia-
tries; $16,763. obstetrics; $780,

Murphy Ready to Bar

H. Gabriel Murphy, insurance
executive, who is a 40 per cent
stakeholder in the Washington

court action if an attempt is
made to transfer the franchise.

For it has been learned that Will
Harridge, American League pres
ident, will not call a meeting of
club owners to consider shifting
the franchise unless there is har-
mony between Murphy and the
Griffith family on the matter.
Murphy made it clear there
will be no meeting of minds,
now or ever, on the SUBJ

saying it would be mandatory
for the league president to call
a special meeting of club owners
on a matter of general interest
to the league.
In a statement issued after
a conference with his attorney,
John E. Powell, Griffith reas-
serted his reluctance to see the
franchise transferred, but added
he must consider the best inter-
ests Of the stockholders.
He also said, II am some-
what surprised that Mr.. Murphy
should state his opposition to a
transfer of the franchise at this
time, in view of the fact that
on at least one occasion, and
possibly more frequently, he
stated to me how wonderful it
would be if the franchise could
be moved to California. In re-
spouse to his suggestion, I told
him that l thought we should
make every effort to keep the
franchise in Washington"

teams treasurer and largest
stakeholder, said:

thought to have been carrying
some wives and children of

dispelled by a United States Air

military personnel were aboard.
20 Planes Scan Sea
BY noon today the planes
engaged in the search had
swelled to 20, including three
six-engine United States BAT

to pick up some clue.
Other British, American and
Portuguese Air Force planes
from Germany, France, North

shipping in the area was asked
to be on the alert for signs of
wreckage or survivors. The
search was aided by excellent
weather and visibility up to ID

being directed from st. Mag

An Air Force spokesman said
the Liftmaster would have flown

that he couldn't stand too many
trump leads, as he had two losing

led the queen of diamonds from

with the ace and led the king

Mr.. Heinsite still had a losing

couldn't put both of them on
