Of items have been elaborated
upon. The partial lists sent to
the Purchasing Office included
far more expensive items than
requested.
"They were often unsuitable
for a building which is to be
entirely conservative in ma
ture," he said.
About four weeks ago, 1t was
learned, the District General
Hospital stopped all procure
ment orders because Of the dis
crepancies between the initial
requirements of the psychiatric
staff for the new building and
the lists forwarded to the Pur-
chasing Office.
Meetings with DR.. Schultz's
Office followed. DR.. Schultz
sent his memo to DR.. Stebbing
and later the Purchasing ONCE
wrote DR.. Finucane.
Meanwhile. the opening Of
the institution will be delayed.
Seen as Sequel
Some observers saw the pres
ent confusion is a continuation
of the hospital administration
which was severly criticized by
the House Subcommittee last
winter. The subcommittee. in
a special written report, at
tackled several areas Of the de-
partment. including the hos
pital administration.
Yesterday, DR.. Finucane de-
clared he has not had time to
assess blame on any person or
persons at the hospital. He
said he wanted to get the
equipment ordering caught up
with first.
Although he placed Charles
Beal, deputy hospital superin-
tendent, on the Watchdog Hos
pital Administration Commit
tee, he did not mention any
change in plans for the super
intendent, DR.. Stebbing.
Il have no plans for a change
in DR.. Stehsnng's status at this
time" he said.

has a grain base with a lot of
bran. The bears like it and
humans probably would. too.
What we have in mind for the
omnivores is a homogeneous item
similar to bear bread instead
of the stuff they get now
potatoes. yams, vegetables,
grain.
These things are only our
attempts to duplicate what
they eat in the wild state and
are not necessarily good for
them. We feel, that If we can
work out just the right food
for each type of animal. they
will perhaps live longer and
breed more often"
Animal Prices q Factor
Mr.. Grimmer said the pro-
gram might be completed In
six months. It is a necessary
project, Mr.. Grimmer said. be-
cause the replacement price on
animals has risen to the point
where it is essential to keep
the collection healthy and long
lived.
Mr.. Grimmer arrived at the
Zoo from Chicago early this
summer, and DR.. Wright fol-
lowed in August from the Agri-
culture Departments Plum
Island IN. ", Animal Disease
Laboratory. The 33-year-old
former Air Force fighter pilot
is one of seven full-time Zoo
veterinarians in the United

AS soon as DR.. Finucane
learned of the situation, he
took two steps:
/. He had a special commit
tee designed to watchdog the
hospital administration go into
the muddle.
2. He delegated all authority
for ordering the equipment to
DR.. John Schultz, head Of the
hospitals psychiatric services,
and David Fry, of the depart
ment's fiscal section.
$2S2,OOO Item
Some $282, 900 was ear
marked by Congress to equip
the structure, which cost nearly
$2.6 million. 1t was scheduled
to open in January but, accord
ing to DR.. Finucane. this will
be delayed. He said the depart
ment is trying to catch up with
the ordering as swiftly as pos
sible.
DR.. Schultz, 1t was learned,
forwarded a memo to Or. Philip
A. E. Stebbing, hospital super
intendent, about a month ago
calling for some action and
recommended that this be for
warded to the health director
DR.. Stebbing was unavailable
for comment yesterday.
DR.. Finucane declared that
he first learned of the situa-
ton about a week and a half
ago when the District pur-
chasing Office sent him a let
ter expressing serious concern.
DR.. Schultz and Mr.. Fry are
delving into the records in an
attempt to find out just how
much OF the $282.000 worth of
equipment has actually been
ordered and of the amount that
has been ordered, just how
much was correctly ordered.

because the food will be more

cause it will save money and

The new menus won't mean
that the elephants no longer
will eat hay or that the lions
and tigers won't get horsemeat.
Some animals will just have to
struggle along on the things
that can best be provided for
them, according to their spe-
cialized needs.
But the omnivores = those
animals that can eat pretty
much anything-are going to
see a change.

Planners Seek
Transit Routes
Rood Center Strips
Discussed Here
BY GRACE BASSETT

National Capital Planning
Commission Chairman Harland
M. Bartholomew today said he
would ask District Highway Of
ficials to consider using center
strips in the new Route 240
and Baltimore Washington ex-
pressways for mass transit.
The grassy strips dividing
modern expressways are logical
sites for mass transportation of
the future, Mr.. Bartholomew
said.
The proposal was discussed
at an executive meeting of the
NCPC this morning. It viii be
brought before the commission
formally at afternoon sessions
Latest progress on planning
the 240 link and the Baltimore
Washington route will be pre-
sented by District highway Of
ficials.
Used Near Chicago
Mr.. Bartholomew said the
transit lane idea has been
worked into interstate prof.
ects near Chicago.
"This seems to me the only
logical way to place transit
lines and move people in the
future" Mr.. Bartholomew said.
Engineer Commissioner A. c.
yelling is seeking NCPC boun-
dairy lines within which the
Districts consulting firm, the
Clarkson Engineering Corp,
should study the route of the
proposed expressway to Balti-
more. The Clarkson study
could well incorporate the
transit right-of-way, Mr.. Bar
tholomew noted.
Alternate Routes
Two alternate routes to link
the District with 240 in Mary
land have been proposed. One,
favored by the District High
way Department, would run
along the Potomac. either on
the bluffs above Canal road or
partly on the bluffs and partly
on the Canal bank. The other,
favored by NCPC planners,
would be through a corridor in
the vicinity of Wisconsin
avenue.
The NCPC route would par
allel roughly current transit
lines of D. c. Transit, Inc.
Center strips usually are about
40 feet wide. big enough for a
two-way transit operation.
NCPC staffers noted.

A BRISK BREEZE had the

A BRISK BREEZE had the
surface of the water, which
is a long, wide wooded lake
above the dam, sparkling.
We walked back toward
the huge concrete pumping
station under construction,
where four pumps each with
a capacity of 100 million
gallons a day eventually will
be operating.
Mr.. Nicely pointed out three
sections of the dam near the
Maryland shore were 2 feet
lower and to a wide inlet
down stream through the
woods.
That's to assure that the
feeder canal (the inlet gets
water during the summer"
he said. The wilkins
Rogers flour mill in George
town operates on water
power from that canal"
The water from the pump
ing station goes through a
mile-long tunnel through
rock which passes 200 feet
under the main building of
the Army Map Service.
They watched their seis-
mograph while we were blast
ing the tunnel under Them"
said Mr.. Nicely, but we were
so deep that it never shiv-
cred"
The tunnel takes the raw
water to the Dalecarlia Fill
tration plant. Dam, pumping
station and tunnel will cost
about So million. AT the
filtration plant they are
completing another pump
ing station, this one to send
clean water to the Capital,
at q cost Of Sc million more.
