For INDECENT III

The District Health Depart
ment and private hospitals here
failed again this year to win
higher payments for INDECENT
care under the medical charities
program in the Presidents
budget message.
The message to Congress notes
Increased costs in Federal institu-
tons here but not in the volun-
tary hospitals.
For the third successive year,
the Health Department had re-
quested that the payment per
day for indigents treated in
private hospitals be rased from
$l4 to $3.50. The Washington
Hospital Council says that the
actual cost averages $25.83 per
day for a ward patient.
The message does include,
however, requests for an increase
in payments by the District for
indigents treated at Freedmen's
Hospital, Federal institution.
The overall recommended
Health Department budget totals
$28,710,700 as compared to the
current fiscal years budget esti-
mate of $25. 743,885.
The sum Of 100000 was
estimated in the budget as pay
ments to Freedmen's Hospital by
the Health Department, the
same amount as was allowed for
the current fiscal year,
However, the proposed budget
does not take into consideration
the fact that the rate per day
at Fieedmen's has gone up from
$14 to $3.50. A Health DEPART
ment spokesman declared that,
I'VE will just have TO send fewer
patients there"

posed agaIn that Freedmens he

DC. Billed $12 Million
For St. EIizobeths Costs

Despite dropping number OF
District patients at st. Eliza
beth's Hospital. the Federal
Government has billed the city
for a $1.136,700 increase to pay
for them.
This will bring to $12,197, 900
AZ per cent-the amount ear
marked in the District Health
Departments budget for the
coming fiscal year as a payment
to st. Elizabeth's.
This compares with a total
proposed budget for the hospital
of $l6,590.000 during fiscal 1858,
of which Congress is being asked
to finance $3,265. 900 by direct
Federal appropriations.
The increase in charges to the
District results from a higher
daily patient rate at st. Eliza
beth'S as set by the Budget
Bureau.
District budget officials noted
that these increases have offset
drops over the last two years in
the number of local patients
During the 1886 fiscal year
District patients dropped from
an average Of $500 a day to
5,l76 at the time new tranquil
izing drugs were being intro
duced in the treatment OF
psychiatric cases.

Industrial output set an all

of industrial commodities con-
tinued to advance. the Federal
Reserve Board reports.
The board. said yesterday its
industrial production index last

This was a gain of point over

higher than December a year ago
For the entire year 1856 the
index averaged 143, the board
said. This was 4 points or 3 per
cent above industrial production
for 1855.
The board noted that in De-
cember total construction activ-
ity continued to rise, non-farm
employment remained at record
levels and incomes again moved

sum, $1.9 million would pay the
Federal share of the cost of all

of Washington from the District
Line to Fort Washington.
So Million Received
Conrad L. Wirth, National
Park Service chief, said his
agency received 50 million in the
current years budget for CIV
parkway grading between the
District line and Cabin John in
Maryland. The additional So mil
lion requested for the same pur-
pose and area in the next fiscal
year, he said, will virtually pay
for the divided, four-lane park
way in that area.
Target date for construction to
start. Mr.. Wirth said. is next
May /.
He said a major reason the
job has not begun thus far is
that the parkway route requires
use of the D. c. Transit Co.
streetcar right-of-way for one
short stretch near Glen Echo.
and that negotiations for the
land use have not been COM
pieted.
