Senate investigators today
suDpoenaed all the financial rec
ords of Frank w. Brewster. West
Coast Transfers Union boss.
after he was unable to explain
to the Senators satisfaction the
use Of additional thousands of
union funds.
The subpoena was served on
Brewster in the hearings while
he was undergoing questioning
for the fourth day by the SEN
ate select committee Investigate
ing wrongdoing in labor and
management.
One of Brewster's attorneys,
John Pickens of Washington,
conferred briefly with the witness
and then told Committee Chair
man Mcclellan. Democrat of
Arkansas, they would comply
with the order"
1t was a sweeping subpoena
for the surrender of all checks
and personal documents and rec
ords relating to Brewster's deal
ings with the Transfers and
those who have had business
with the union.
Brewster indicated, just be-
fore receiving the subpoena, that
he had retained very few per-
sonal records-just some current
cancelled checks, stubs and
things like that"
Queried on DiSparities
Brewster also was questioned
about what the committee coun-
sci described as "a disparity that
exists" between the Teamster
leaders compensation and al
lowanceS reported to the Labor
Department with data on his
income tax returns.
/ Brewster said he could not
explain the disparities since his
accountant made out the returns.
/ Records introduced in the
hearing showed that Brewster
reported total compensation and
allowances from the Internation-
al Brotherhood of Transfers to
the Labor Department of $56,3I9
for the year l949 through 1855.
His income tax returns for the
same period listed compensation
and allowances at $26,220.

Another record covering the
years 1919 through 1853 listed
compensation and allowances
from Transfers Local l74 in
Seattle as $751; $3.50, according
to a report filed with the Labor
Department. His income tax re-
turns for the same period listed
compensation and allowances at
$8l, 1880.

the point of junction.
THE right frontal lobes of the
twins appeared mashed together
but there were no brain con-
nections between them. There
was considerable crossing of
some large arteries which we
cut and clamped, and in one in

bleeding from a large artery that
led from the lower frontal lobe
of Virginia into the frontal lobe
of Teresa. We succeeded in
stopping that bleeding.
TransfusiOns Administered

was supplying the blood to this

was overcome by transfusions.

Mr.. Connolly went to Prague

GSA Will Seek
Funds
81 Million Needed
To Equip Center
BY JAMES G. DEANE

The General Services Admin
istration has agreed to seek extra
funds to complete the Districts
giant new Hospital Center.
A spokesman said today GSA
plans to "see the hospital
through" He added the agency
hopes to find some unused funds
in order to ask as small an extra
amount from Congress as pos
Sible.
1t was disclosed recently that
the new 800-bed hospital nearing
completion on the Soldiers Home
grounds had run short of funds.
Charles S. Dewey, hospital
president, said originally that the
extra amount needed would be
SIT million. The money is need
ed for hospital equipment which
is essential to the hospitals
opening.
Request Raised
Mr.. Dewey said today hospital
officials now have asked GSA to
seek a 81 million additional Con-
gressional authorization. This is
to assure that it won't be neces-
sary to go back to Congress
again.
The additional amount would
increase the total cost of the
project to around $24 million.
A GSA spokesman said it has
not been decided yet exactly how
much money GSA will seek to
provide. or how much OF this
may have to come directly from
Congress.
/ But Mr.. Dewey said there has
been no indication that GSA
will make any effort to cut back
on the remaining expenditure,
The hospital center has an
agreement with the Government
agency which assures equiping
the hospital fully, Mr.. Dewey
said.
/ October Is Target Date
Target date for opening the
new hospital is October. Con-
gress will have to act this spring
on providing the necessary ad-
ditional funds to meet this goal
The new hospital center is
being paid for by the District
and Federal governments on a
$3.50 basis. 1t will be operated
privately. however. The center
is to replace the present Elmer.
gency, Episcopal and Garfielc
Hospitals.
! Practically all the coustruc.
ton work has already been fin.
ished and the equipment is tho
chief remaining concern.
MIR. Dewey blamed the unex.
pected lack OF funds on a sharr
rise in equipment prices sine,
the hospital project was started
Equipment costs now are nearlS
double the original estimate.

House Group
Makes Another
Budget Slash
Labor and Health
Department Funds
Cut Sis Million
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Another sizeable chunk-al-
most $119 million-was knocked
off the administrators S7l.8
billion budget estimates today
when the House Appropriations
Committee recommended a 4
per cent cut in the $2.9 billion
for the Departments of Labor
and Health. Education and We'll
fare.
This bill for the fiscal year
beginning next July was the
fifth sent by the committee to the
House in recent weeks. Each of
the four already passed by the
House, and the measure reported
out today showed reductions
from the Presidents budget re-
quests. The overall decrease thus
far has amounted to almost $500
million.
The Senate has not yet acted
on any of the 1858 fiscal year
appropriation bills. The Labor
H.E.W. bill will come up for
House action next week.
/ Yesterday the House passed a
IS. 1886, POI 700 supply bill for Is
miscellaneous agencies. TIL e
total was almost 1888 million
less than the President requested
in his budget message last jan
uary.
/ More Cuts Made
The House trimmed S2l mil
lion in addition to the S5l6.9
million reduction which the Ap-
preparations Committee had
recommended. The additional
decreases made by the House late
yesterday were SIG million for
lstockpiling of strategic and
critical materials and 50 million
in items for the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronau-
tics.
The Labor-H. E. w. bill, as re-
vised by the committee, would
appropriate S2.862, 502. 1871 for the
two departments and several re-
lated agencies including the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
This is $ll8.774.900 less than
President Eisenhower asked. 1t
is almost SIG million under the
total those departments and
agencies received for the present
fiscal year.
The H. E. w. Department
would get 81, ABB, S36.58l. a cut of
Is94.4 million. The Labor Depart
ment would get 1894, 1856, 300. a
reduction of 5000 million. Lessor
decreases include those Of Sl25,-
900 for the NLRB and $50. 000
for the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service.
Biggest Slash
OF the Sll8.7 million cut In the
bill, the biggest drop resulted
from a $79.4 million slash in
funds for public assistance
grants to States.
Although the committee made
cuts in numerous individual
items, it approved the entire
1920. $4,000 requested for the
National Institutes of Health.

H. Z. w. appropriations included
