Bill Clears
Congress

The House today passed by a
voice vote legislation for con-
struction of a So million hos
pital in Southeast Washington.
The bill now goes to the White
House for President Eisenhow-
er's signature.
The action was taken over
strenuous objection from Rep
resentative Abernethy, Demo-
crat Of Mississippi, who insisted
Maryland taxpayers ought to
bear their share Of costs. He
urged a tax equal to the Dis
trict tax contribution to the
hospital be imposed on at least
Prince Georges County res
idents.
The bill amends a 1916 hos

authorization for hospital
building an additional So mil

under terms Of the measures
just passed.
The hospital bill was spon-

President Eisenhower made it
clear today that he considers

The President emphasized at

It has been widely reported
that Mr.. Martin is in line for

Mr.. Eisenhower was remind

Law Association has voiced OPP

Martin, suggesting instead that
a qualified patent lawyer be

that the only patent attorney

President Eisenhower today

The President, his voice husky
from a sore throat, emphasized
at a news conference that he
thinks it reasonable to assume
there will be an upturn in the
Nations economy just after
the middle Of the year.
He said q tax cut could be a
reserve weapon in fighting a
more prolonged recession II
things got to the point where
he thought that was necessary.
Mr.. Eisenhower remarked
that cutting taxes could have
q greatly stimulating effect on
the economy. On the other
hand, he warned that such
stimulation might lead to dan.

The President showed the
effects Of what White House
Press Secretary James c. Hag-

His voice was hoarse and
husky. His eyes appeared
watery and some reporters
thought he looked rather pale

sisted, however. that he did not

Mr.. Eisenhower opened his
news conference with q joking
reference to his hoarseness. In
view Of the condition of his
vocal chords, he said he would
like to suggest that newsmen
ask very long questions which
he could answer yes or no.
His hoarseness DEVELOPED

Club where he defied cold.

The President said he got to
talking like this" soon after his
return to Washington Sunday
night, but that his hoarseness
was his only symptom.

In an economic upturn by mid
year, the President said he be.
heved freer credit and more
money in circulation because Of

actions would bring a turn for
the better by summer.
He said hc expected the cur.

tinue through March, however.
The President took occasion
to. urge again extension of the
Reciprocal Trade Act, declaring
that the economy of this coun-
try and the whole free world
demands freer trade.
Denies Tariff Charge
A questioner asked him about
criticism from some quarters
to the effect that while he
talked freer trade his actions
belied this. One charge, the
reporter said, was that he had
packed the Tariff Commission
with protectionists.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he never
had consciously appointed any,
one to the Tariff Commission
who he considered a high pro-
tectionist. He conceded that
he had approved some tariff
increases on some things such

BY ALEX r. PRESTON
star stan writer

Representative Saylor. Re-
publican Of Pennsylvania, today
joined Senator oMahoney,
Democrat Of Wyoming, in q
move to block immediate con-
struction Of q Constitution ave-
niue bridge.
Mr.. Saylor's resolution is
identical to one introduced late
yesterday in the Senate. It
calls on the District Commits
sioners to halt preliminary work
on the span until Congress has
ian opportunity" to act.
If no action is taken when
the present session adjourns,
the Commissioners would be
free to proceed under a 1854
authorization act sponsored by
Representative Broyhill. Repub-
lican Of Virginia.
Broyhill Annoyed
For his part, Mr.. Broyhill
seemed to be incensed over the
latest moves to further post
pone construction which have
been made at both ends of the
Capitol.
Just to have further delay,
doesn't make sense" Mr.. Broy-
hill said. 1T (the Saylor reso-
lution) doesn't have a chance"
The Virginia lawmaker went
on to say that it is ridiculous
to contend. as Senator OMa-
honey said yesterday, that the
House has not had an oppor-l
tunity to consider the Senate
approved tunnel bill.
THE House did. in effect, act
on that proposition when it had
my bill UP late In the session
and refused to pass it," Mr..
Broyhill argued.
Earlier Bill Baked
At that time the House con-
sidered Mr.. Broyhill's bill for
a tunnel at Constitution avenue
and confusing amendments
which have made it a bridge
with fixed drawspan." After
heated debate the measure was
sent back to the committee and
it was this action which led Mr..
Broyhill to contend that the
House has duly considered and
rejected a tunnel proposal.
Meanwhile, in another bridge
development-for a new span
to replace the old Southbound
Fourteenth Street Bridge-the
House this afternoon appointed
conferees to iron out differences
with the Senate.
The bill by Representative
Davis, Democrat Of Georgia,
passed the House with provi-
sion for q movable span so
that river traffic could be
maintained up to Georgetown.
The Senate amended the
measure to provide for a fixed
span. The House, chiefly at
the insistence of Representa-
tive Smith, Democrat of Vir-.
ginia, has refused to yield and
the bill was sent to conference.
House conferees named to-
day were Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Broyhill.
