I'D like to handle 1t the way
they do at the White House
grounds on Easter Monday for
the egg-rolling." DR.. Reed said.
"Of course, we would not bar
adults but we would not permit
young adults, the teen-agers OF
the type who caused the trouble
last Monday"
DR.. Reed admitted the bar
would cause some problems. such
as determining the ages Of some
young persons but he said the
police at the entrances woult
have something to help then
in the effort to keep out unrul,
and noodlum types.
Plan Intensive Study

the whole problem a lot oi
study" DR.. Reed said. I'VE have
a whole year to get ready fol
next Easter. I am sure we car
work something out that will
prevent a recurrence of these
violent incidents"
DR.. Reed said he is also
thinking Of requesting outside
police help for manning the
gates next Easter Monday.
Meanwhile. Commissioner Rob-
ert E. Mclaughlin last night
pledged that Washington police
will see to 1t that there will
be no repetition Of the attacks.
Three attacks were launched
on younger children Monday
afternoon and several other at

teen-agers as a result of an
attack by 80 youths on 20 young

The object: To get full informa-

Mr.. West then told the Com
missioners that additional legis-
lation was not needed, that the
problem could be handled by
adopting regulations prohibiting
any licensed detective agency
from hiring any person unless
the chief Of police said he was Of
good moral character. Mr.. West
suggested police draw UP the
regulation.
The police have been drawing

Hospital Center leaders, al
Maryland's Senators Beall anc
Butler to tie the equipment fund
in with a new legislative move
to build a hospital in Southeast
Washington.
The negative stand of the
Commissioners on the SIT mil.
lion Hospital Center request be-
came known publicly last weeh
when Charles S. Dewey, presi-
dent, and other officials Of the
new center met with the city
heads to seek their support.
Mr.. Dewey and Samuel
Spencer, former District Com
missioner and executive vice
president Of the new hospital
now nearing completion on the
Soldiers Home grounds. warned
that lack of the money viii prob
ably keep the center from OPEN
ing. Scheduled opening date is
October.
Equipment Costs Greater
Sharp rises in equipment costs
were responsible for the extra
fund request. The money is be-
ing sought. through the Budget
Bureau, by General Services Ad-
ministration, which is building
the hospital. But the District,
under present law. is slated to
be billed for half of the hospi-
tails construction cost. The
Commissioners objected to being
handed a share Of this new
expense.
The law under which the hos
pital is being built. at a cost
now expected to be 1884 million,
authorized a total Of $35 million
for this and other local hospital
projects.
Hospital Center officials have
been planning to push a bill to
increase this authorized expendi-
ture in order to pave the way for
the needed new equipment ap-
preparation.
Seek Sc. Hospital
But several days ago. Senators
Beall and Butler. both Repub-
licans, caught the hospital
leaders by surprise by introduc-
ing Q bill on their own initiative
This bill would raise the Hos
pital Act authorization by So
million. But the increase. in this
case, is intended not for the hos
pital center but for a proposed
new hospital in Southeast Wash
ington.
Southeast civic leaders pre-
vailed on the Maryland Sena-
tors to introduce the new bill
The Southeast leaders already
are raising some funds by pub
lie subscription for their project
but they also hope to obtain
both Federal and District f.
nancial help through the pro-
posed revision Of the Hospital
Act.
Mr.. Dewey said yesterday that
he and Mr.. Spencer already have
made plans to discuss this new
development with Senators Beal
and Butler.
The Senators may be asked. hi
indicated. to increase the So mil
lion authorization proposed ir
their bill in order to provide fol
the hospital center's equipment
need, as well as the Southeast
project.
Share Of Cost Is Debated
The hospital leaders indicated
they also will raise some Other
suggestions which they pre-
sented last week to the Commits.
sioners.
One of these suggestions was
that the law should be changed
to require the District to pay
only 80 per cent, rather thar
80 per cent, Of the construction
cost Of the Hospital Center and

! Another proposal made by Mr.
Dewey was that the District be
ALLOWED iive or 10 years delay
before having to start paying
tits share.
/ Still another was q suggestion
that the new center be allowed
ito retain the present properties
of the three hospitals now sched-
uled to move into the center
These properties, now slated to
be turned over jointly to the
Federal and District govern
ments. would be used to finance
a new nursing school. under Mr..
Dewey's plan.
Dewey's Suggestion
Yesterday Mr.. Dewey made
still another suggestion. He told
The Star ne felt that II Congress
does not see at to reduce the
Districts share OF the cost. at
least 1t should increase the Fed
leral payment to the District to
offset the new equipment cost.
District officials are highly In
terested in Mr.. Dewey's proposal
for cutting back the Districts
hospital obligation to 80 per
cent. This actually was the city's
obligation under the hospital act
as it originally passed Congress.
But the act was amended on the
floor In 1851 by Senator Case,
Republican Of South Dakota, to
make the obligation the present
so per cent.
This was done without hear
ing. according to Senate sources
The Commissioners later sought
to have Congress reverse itself,
but were unsuccessful.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said yesterday he was
particularly interested in the at
Ititude Of the former city heads
--he was not then in Office
toward this matter. He said this
would guide him In deciding on
THE desirability Of seeking q
change now.
Sc Million Southeast Hospital
Other than this, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin was noncommittal. But
there were strong indications
that city officials may explore
seriously the possibility Of per-
suading Congress to help Offset
in some way the extra new costs
looming under the hospital
building program.
Southeast leaders expect Their
new hospital--for which no con-
struction start has yet beer
scheduled-will cost So million
They. hope to obtain 50 million
of this by public subscription
and another 50 million through
revision Of the hospital act. Or
the present $3.50 Federal-Dis-
ltrict sharing arrangement, 81
million Of that would come from
the District.
The Southeast group also

Department of Health. Education
and Welfare.
