Boys Loss of Trust
Needs to Be Restored

Johnny wouldn't believe his
mother was dead.
She died away from home
after a long illness, and rela-
tives thought it best that the
boy not attend the funeral.
Later, when they bee a m e
aware of his doubts. they took
him to visit his mothers grave.
But he still didn't believe it..
1t was hard for an 8-year-old
boy to understand. 1t was hard
to know who to trust.
His mother, whom he had
both loved and trusted, left
him, first in illness and then
in death.
He had scarcely known his
father, and then he vanished
too.
An older relative tried to care
for Johnny, but the gap in age
and understanding was too
great.
He ran away regularly.

Youth Fitness

Reorganization of the Com

spearhead a new city-wide fit

District Commissioners today.
A committee of civic leaders
made the proposal as an after
math Of a conference on youth
fitness, sponsored by the Com
missioners in February.
The group, headed by Daniel
w. Bell, president of the Amer
lean Security & Trust Co.,
handed a. formal conference re-
port to the city heads, calling
for efforts to improve COM
munity fitness efforts.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin personally Endorsed
the proposal to enlist the youth
council. But the city heads
asked for a cost and organiza-
ton study by the council itself
before making a decision.
Richard K. Lyon, council
chairman, said the councils
present staff and budget would
be inadequate for the proposed
assignment.
The council, set up in 1858,
to combat juvenile delinquency,
has a staff of seven and a cur
rent budget of $4,000.
Mr.. Lyon told the Commits
sioners the council already has
considered the new proposal
informally and is agreeable to
it. But he estimated the added
cost at possibly $4,000 to
$4,000, A meeting will be held
later this week to consider the
subject in detail.

In addition. D. C. Transit

City Heads Urge Rise
In Insurance for Cabs
Ask Congress to Double Coveruge
In Attempt to Hasten Reform Move

it is an attempt to hasten
taxicab insurance reforms now
pending before both Senate
and House committees, aides
said.
The proviSo sent Congress
today was part of a major re-
vision of the Responsibility
Act, requiring all District mo-
florists to carry insurance or
face the risk of depositing the
complete cost of damages in
case of accidents.
Excepted From Minimum
Under the act, cab drivers
are excepted from minimum
insurance demanded of private
car owners of $4,000 in case
of death of one person; $4,000,
death of two or more, and
$1,000, for property damage,
Cab drivers are required, I'M
der separate law, to carry
$4,000, $4,000 and $1,000 for
the same categories.
The Commissioners proposed
blanketing taxicab insurance
under the overall $4,000. $780,
900 and $4,000 requirements.
"NO Reason Why"
I'VE know of no reason why
persons injured as a result OF
operation of vehicles for hire
should not be given the same
financial protection as is
required to be given the general
public by operators of privately
owned vehicles" wrote Robert
E. Mclaughlin, president of the
Board of Commissioners, in a
letter accompanying the draft
bill.
The Commissioners favored
rates of $4,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 for taxicabS at a SEN
ate District Subcommittee
hearing on April II.

The

Voluntarily
Enters Herburium
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

From time to time in his
perusal Of Government docu-
ments, the Rambler has come
upon references to the Ma
tional Herbarium.
He was aware that 1t was
a unit of the Smithsonian
Institution like the Zoo.
But until yesterday he
thought of it as a garden
where herbs we're growing
rosemary ("that's for re-
membrance') and thyme,
marjoram, mace and rue.
But he found that the Ma
tional Herbarium is on the
third floor of the old or main
Smithsonian Institution and
consists of thousands upon
thousands of folders con-
tanning the leaves and BIOS
SONS and seeds of plants.
None of the examples OF
plant life in the herbarium's
collection is on display. 1t
is planned to have a botani-
cal exhibit in the Smithso-

$4,000 Budget
Request Is Called
Too Low by Lawyer

The House District Appro-
priations Subcommittee today
was urged to increase the
budget of the National Zoologi-
cal Park to provide for II new
keepers and nine more police
men.
Max M. Kampelman, Wash
ington attorney and president
of the Friends Of the National
Zoo, appeared before the sub
committee today. He called at
tention to the tragic death
May 16 of 2l2-year-old Julia
Ann Voght, who slipped under
a guard rail and was mauled
to death by a lion.
"Our organization is not
concerned primarily with the
question of fault" Mr.. Kam-
pelman told the Legislators.
1--WE are more concerned with
the desirability of creating an
atmosphere which will recog-
nize the Importance of the
Washington Zoo as national
institution so that public con-
fidence in it may be justif1ably
restored by assuring insofar as
possible that no such accident
can occur again"
Budget Asks $89S,0O0
The budget request for fiscal
1859 being considered by the
subcommittee calls for 1898, 900.
1t includes four more police
men, two attendants and three
keepers in a total of IA new
positions sought by Zoo Direc-
tor Theodore Reed.
Mr.. Kampelman said he con-
sidered the request inadequate
and urged increasing the new
keepers by II and the police
men by nine. He priced the
cost of the new jobs at $50, 900,
based on an average salary of
$4,000 per keeper and $4,000
per policeman.
This would make a total of
IS keepers and 80 policemen
for the Zoo next year. DR..
Reed and Assistant Director j..
Lear Grimmer told The Star
last week that alert keepers
and policemen are the only an
Swer to the problem of keeping
children and foolish adults
from climbing past guard rails
and approaching animal en-
closures.
Other Areas Cited
Mr.. Kampelman said the
organizations examination OF
the operating budget of the
Zoo for the coming year indi-
Gates many other neglected
areas" He said the Zoo ur-
gently needs a ventilating sys-
tenn for the bird and reptile
houses at a cost of $4,000 and
animal handling equipment at
a cost of $500.
The witness asked that Con-
gresS provide $25,600 for pre-
liminary plans for an admin
istration building, $39,400 for
construction plans for a new
antelope house and restoration
of the $4,000 requested for

Hospitals Renew
INDECENT Care Plea
Ask Congress
For Boost.in
D. Payments

Washington's private hospi-
tails today asked Congress for
an increase in District pay
ments for the care of indi-
gents, pleading that the entire
medical charities program may
be at stake.
James Lemon, representing
the Washington Hospital Coun-
Gil, told a House Appropriations
subcommittee on the District
budget:
I'VE of the contract hospi-
tails are in a precariouS f1nan-
cial position because of our
support of the tax-eligible in
digent program, and we need
your help"
He was referring to funds
under this program which, for
some hospitals, have run out,
forcing the institutions to
suffer further losses in caring
for indigents or cut off the
service.
Higher Payments
Mr.. Lemon asked for sub
stantially higher payments
than were requested by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Representative Rabout, Dem
ocrat of Michigan, who recon-
mended an increase over the
Commissioners request last
year, was expected to go along
in part with the hospitals again
this year.
Mr.. Lemon said 1--WE are not
asking our costs, but we are
asking 1899 per inpatient day.
which is the stated cost at
District General" Washing
tons municipal hospital.
Request Cut
The Health Department also
recommended this figure to the
Commissioners, who cut the
request to 1855 per inpatient
day. The present rate is $1s
per day. The average cost to
the participating hospitals Is
$28 per day, Mr.. Lemon said.
Mr.. Lemon, member of the
board of trustees of Children's
Hospital, said: "Children's Hos
pital, where no child has ever
been turned away because Of
race, creed, color or the ability
to pay. suffered an audited loss
of $246, 900 for the fiscal 1857
program"
He was supported by the Rev.
Thomas j. ODonnell, regent of
the Georgetown University
Medical School, who declared
it "unrealistic" that the Dis
trict should place indigents in
private hospitals at less money
than it costs at its own institu-
ton.
Deficit Noted
Father ODonnell pointed out
that at Georgetown both pa
tent care and medical educa-
ton operate at a deficit. He
added that Georgetown finances
much of the patient care at
District General. helping it to
be lone of the finest city hos
pitfalls in our country"
But without the teaching
program there" he added, Dis
trict General would revert to a
pest house such as we see in
some cities"
This afternoon the Rev. Ed
ward B. Bum. president Of
Georgetown University, was to
appear to plead for a substan-
tial increase in payments UNI
der the medical charities pro-
gram.
DR.. William P. Herbst was
to appear on behalf of the Dis
trict Medical Society to make
a similar plea.
