Senate Passes Bill
For Sc. Hospital

The Senate yesterday passed
a bill providing for grants and
loans for the construction of a
nonprofit private hospital in
the far reaches of Southeast
Washington.
This would be an amend
ment to the District Hospital
Center Act, under which the
District Government would be
required to repay 80 per cent
OF the net cost to the Federal
Government. The present law
provides for so per cent re-
payment.
Members of the Maryland
delegation in Congress have
emphasized the need Of a hos
pital to serve persons residing
In or near the Maryland line.
The Senate may act on this
bill before it adjourns, but the
whole problem is expected to
go over until the second ses-
sion Of the 85th Congress. The
same bill has been considered
by the Fiscal Subcommittee Of
the House District Committee,
but the chance of enactment
at this session is considered
small.

and Rabaut. Democrat Of
Michigan.
Both Mr.. Hyde and Mr..
O'Hara stressed that they liked
the idea Of a center but could
not condone the Foggy Bottom
location.
The two other sites in the
Southwest are better, Mr.
O'Hara maintained. He added
that placing the center in
Foggy Bottom would handicap
private development of this
area.
Representative r baut re-
minded lawmakers that the
District Government is always
asking for more Federal pay
ments from Congress. Yet, the
cultural center bill would take
more than 26 valuable acres Of
District tax rolls, he pointed
out.
The defeat was q victory for
the District Highway Depart
ment planners. The cultural
center in Foggy Bottom would
have upset routing of the west
leg of an inner-loop proposed
to circle the central city.
The controversial site was
supported by Representatives
Morrison; Halleck. Republican
of Indiana: Thompson, Demo-
crat Of New Jersey. and Kearns,
Republican Of Pennsylvania.
Representative Morrison, a
member of the presidential
commission that drew plans
for the center. said the Federal
Government would have to pay
about S. million for the 90
acre site south Of Virginia ave-
nue. and west Of Twenty-third
street NV. Private subscrip-
lions would raise the $50 mil
lion required for the building
he said.
THE Federal Government
will not be required to put up
one nickel for the center" Rep
resentative Morrison stressed.

public assistance.
Under this the amount of
grants to persons or families
depending on public assistance
would be raised to not less
than what the experts call
100 per cent of the subsistence
level. At present funds are pro.
vided for these purposes on
the basis of SO per cent of sub
sistence.
The school lunch program
bill proposes several changes
in the present system.
For one thing, the bill would
permit the program to be ex-
banded to provide for the serv-
ing Of school lunches in any
elementary school where there
was q demonstrated need.
For another, it would provide
that the District Government
reimburse the school lunch
fund for free lunches served
to three categories of the needy.
These would include mem.
bers Of families who are on the
relief case list; children of large
families in the low-income
group, and children found to
be suffering from malnutrition,
In the 1856 school year.
the subcommittee was in
formed, nearly $4,000 free
school lunches were served at
a cost Of approximately $4,000.
This bill also would take out
of the school lunch fund the
costs for retirement of employees
engaged in the school lunch
program and leave this cost to
be financed by other means.

The

BY Control Tower
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Now that the House has

it would be a good time to

are making out in handling
the heavy traffic.
He chose a good day

The sky was blue except for
a few distant clouds. You
could see planes miles away,
some Of them so far off that
they were tiny specks in the
sky.
The wind was Is to 20 miles
an hour from the northwest,
and the normal traffic pat
tern Of all landings from the
south on the long north
south runway was in use.
While the airfield cannot
be more than 8 or 4 feet

DISTRICT CITIZENS
ARE URGED TO CUT
IWEEDS AT ONCE

The District Health De-
partment today urged citi-
zens to cut down weeds, es-
pecially ragweed.
William H. Cary, jr.,
chief of the Bureau of Food
and Public Health Engi-
neering, warned that the
hay fever season is about
to set in and that weeds,
II left standing, will make
1t worse.
He noted that the Dis
trict has a law banning
weeds higher than 4
inches. But he appealed to
citizens not to wait to be
required to comply. The
law carries a $40 per day
fine for ignoring a health
inspectors notice to cut
weeds.

THERE ARE THREE prin-
cipal control positions along
the window in front of the
tower. To the left Is the
ground control man, who
tells incoming planes which
runway they are to take, the
route they shall use in taxing
and the passenger gates at
which they are to unload.
The center position is that
of the military co-ordinator,
which is important in low
ceiling situations. Then the
tower at National controls
the arrivals and departures
Of all planes at Boiling and
Anacostia across the river.
They are too close to us
to have unco-ordinated OPP
erationS in thick weather"
Mr.. Ashley explained.
The position on the right is
local control, and on a day
like Wednesday Visual
Flight Rules it is the busiest
spot. 1t was manned by
Bill Pearson, who has a build
like a football player and a
crew cut. Bill, who is a
trainee was having a busy
time. In the hour I spent
in the tower, there were 80
arrivals and 80 departures on
the one runway in use. That's
more than one a minute.
They we're almost all planes
carrying passengers and,
while 1t would be an exag-
geration to say their lives
we're in his hands, because
an experienced operator
stood behind him, 1t is GER

trolled by the tower.
You have probably won
dered when you have taken
plane at National or gone
there to see friends off why
the plane waits so long just
short of the runway before
going on 1t and taking off.
You can see why from the
tower. In a rush hour,
there are always two or
three planes in a row COM
ing In to land on that same
runway.

The Senate Appropriations
Committee is expected to act
early next week on a House
passed bill appropriating SIPS
million for resumption of the

hearing witnesses at an open
public hearing.
The problem will be taken
up by the full Senate Appro-

appropriations bill.
Some members Of the Senate
are expected to maintain their
adamant stand against appro-
priations for the Burke project
ahead Of any real trial of the
use of facilities at the Friend

Baltimore.
Senator Holland. Democrat
of Florida, the chairman of a

ing the wishes Of people in the
locality.
He took the Senate floor yes
terday to complain that, in
part. he had been misquoted
in The Star as to his position
on the matter.
In his statement to the Sem

the Virginia people themselves,
that Is wise

Arsonist, Is,
Returns After
Breaking Free

David N. Moquin. 16-year-
old Montgomery County arson
list who escaped Monday from
the Psychiatric Institute at
University Hospital, Baltimore,
surrendered at the hospital last
night.
A hospital spokesman said
the youth returned in good
physical condition. He told
hospital personnel that during
his absence he met two other
youths and that they campec

River area. He said he Later

Scales 8-FOOt Wall
Moquin, a resident Of the
300 block Holmhurst road, Be.
thesda. escaped from the hos
pital by scaling an 8-foot wal
inclosing a play area. Three
attendants chased him, but he
disappeared about six blocks
from the hospital, on the south
west fringe of the business dis
trict.
Montgomery County police
believed the youth returned to
the Bethesda area in an at
tempt to see his parents. A
|four-day search in the Bethesda
and Brookmont areas was 'un-
successful.
The youth was sent to the
hospital by his parents June s
with approval of the Mont
gomery County Juvenile Court
after he was convicted of
setting IA fires in the Wynn
gate and Woodmont Triangle
sections. He also had been
charged with stabbing a school,
mate but was not convicted.
Not Legally Committed
Hospital officials said Mo-
quin's status at the institution
has not been one Of legal COM
mitment although he is under
jurisdiction of the juvenile
court. He was admitted for
mental observation, diagnosis
and treatment.
A spokesman said attendants
exercise due caution" to pre-
vent escapes by all patients but
are not legally required to give
Moquin more supervision than
that given any other patient.
Prisoners sent to the hos
pital from State penal institu-
tons are accompanied by

Representative Morrison, DEM

Mr.. Morrison led the futile
floor fight to save the center

His optimism was echoed by
a more hopeless note from Mrs.
Agnes E. Meyer, commission
chairman, who watched from
the gallery while the House
voted down center plans three
years in the making.
THE whole possibility Of
having a cultural center is lost

she said She insisted her COM
mission had investigated care
fully southwest Washington
sites and dismissed them as
impossible and more expensive
than the Foggy Bottom land"
Landscaping alone around a
Southwest cultural center would
cost from 50 to So million, she
said. Actual land runs higher,
too, she maintained. Above all,
Mrs. Meyer said. redevelopment
officials have told her families

Commission Expired
She said the life of her COM
mission expired on January 81.
at which time bills were intro
duced In both houses to ex-
tend its life until the center
was built.
The House passed this SIM
pie bill to keep the commission
alive. But the Senate amended
the measure to allow the Fed

land for the building. Before
the House yesterday was a Sem
