Hospital Runs
Of Funds
Unfinished Center
Needs ST. Million
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Washington's unfinished $22
million hospital center has run
short of funds and apparently
can't be completed without a new
appropriation from Congress, it
was learned today.
The fund lack already has
made it certain that the new hos
pital can't open on schedule.
The General Services Admin
istration, which is building the
giant hospital project. has been
asked by hospital authorities to
seek a SIT million special sup
Elemental appropriation. A GSA
spokesman said today the matter
is under positive consideration. u
but that no decision has been
made yet.
Equipment Affected
The lack of funds, Charles S.
Dewey. hospital center president,
told The Star today, does not in
volve direct construction, but the
installation Of equipment.
Mr.. Dewey said not enough
money is left to finish equipping
the hospital. .
He blamed the situation on
an unexpected and drastic rise
in costs. Asserting that the stu.
alton was mot anybody's fault, "
he said that equipment prices
have gone out of sight
Originally it was expected that
the 800-bed institution. located
on a 47-acre tract on the
grounds Of the Soldiers Home
could be equipped for about 81 7
million--the same amount which
the project is now short.
Costs Have Doubled
But equipment costs have now
exactly doubled since the Or
iginal estimate. he explained.
ITS very inconvenient that II
happens this way" the hospital
president said.
