Representative Mahon, Demo-
crat Of Texas. would require con-
tinued operation of the unwanted
Murphy Army Hospital in Wal
than, Mass. and the Army
Navy Hospital in Hot Springs,
Ark.
Both currently have at least
three times more paid employees
than patients.
Preservation of the two hos
pitfalls has been a continuing
interest Of Representatives Nc
Cormack, Democrat. and Martin,
Republican, of Massachusetts,
House floor leaders Of their
respective parties, ever since
1854 when the Pentagon decided
there were not enough patients
to justify them.
Minority Report
Representative Ford, Republic
can Of Michigan, filed an angry
minority report that will accom-
pany the Mahon recommended
ton. Mr.. Ford pointed out that
the same provision in the 1856
and 1857 budgets preserved the
hospitals despite repeated De-
tense Department testimony that
there were no military require
ments" for them. Closing the
hospitals and turning the Mas
sachusetts installation into an
Army Engineer headquarters,
Mr.. Ford noted, would save
$746,500 next year and $l,O43,-
900 each year thereafter.
In testimony this year before
the House Appropriations group,
Army Secretary Brucker ruefully
recalled that twice we have
recommended to Congress that
these hospitals be abandoned

land that no money be put in

Congress Insists
But for the last two years, Mr.
Brucker continued. Congress has
insisted that the institutions be
kept open and used ito capacity. ;
In an effort to do that, he said
patients have been flown to the
Arkansas hospital and diverted
from other institutions to Muir
ply.
Despite the funneling of pa
tients to the two hospitals, q
report from Maj. Gen. s. b
Hays, the Army Surgeon Gen.
eral, showed that this year the
patient load in the 405-bed Ar
kansas hospital ranged from an
average Of SO to n patients a
day. The hospital staff consisted
Of 313 doctors, nurses and mill
tary and civilian attendants
Similarly, the 450-bed Murphy
General had a patient load
ranging from IS to 95 a day and
is cared for by 313 hospital
workers.

Improvement. the present prac
tees.
Asks $500 Million
I ask the Congress, therefore
for an appropriation for fisca
year 1858 and also for authority
for the fund to borrow from the
Treasury in succeeding years,
within stated limits. Such bor-
rowing authority has been used
to finance many other United
States lending operations. I be-
lieve this financing mechanism
is well suited to the character
Of the fund.
In order to get the fund under
way in its first year, net less
than $500 million should be APP
propriated-an amount which Il
included in the total request for
new funds later presented in this
message. I anticipate a SUBJ
stantial increase in sound re-
quests for assistance in the
following two years, as countries
development programs move
forward. I therefore expect the
fund to require capital Of $3.50
million in each Of the fiscal years
1859 and 1860.
In order to accomplish the
purpose Of the fund, sufficient
capital must be provided now.
To create q fund for long term
economic development while
denying 1t the means to succeed
would be to deceive ourselves,
discourage our friends, and dis
sipate our money.
The technical cooperation
program is one Of the most valu-
able elements Of our entire mu-
tual security effort. It also
should be continued on a long
term basis and must be closely
related to the work Of the fund.
I therefore propose that the
Congress authorize technical CO.
operation on a continuing basis
while continuing to appropriate
funds on a yearly basis as is
done now. For fiscal year 1858
I request an appropriation of
$152 million for this program.

Clear skies today lured record

The festival queen, an Eng

this morning by leading her escort
of American college princesses
through the one remaining

But only the apple blossoms
had almost disappeared from the
verdant Shenandoah Valley.

Refers TO Threats
Mrs. De Febio yesterday reject
ed a proposal by the Virginia
Pupil Placement Board that she
sign the placement applications
under protest"
She said she reached the de-
cision in spite Of threats that
her children may be taken from
her. and declared mo letter Of
protest can encompass the
breadth and depth Of my con-
science"
She said she would take steps
to have the boys tutored at home
or enrolled in private schools
while her attorneys fight for
their readmission to public
schools.
Mrs. De Febio declined to elab-
crate on the statement that
threats had been made to take
the boys from her. They we're
taken away from her in North
Carolina years ago when she
refused TO send them to public
schools, but were given back
after she agreed they should go
to school.
No Further Action Set
A check OF Fairfax officials
indicated there are no immediate
plans for any further action In
the De Febio case. Assistant
School Supt. George Pope said
the school board Office had no
plans at this time TO take any
action against Mrs. De Febio.
Miss Frances Duffey, welfare
director. said her Office had not
been called In on the case at all.
