Finucone Urges Action
On Report on Hospital

DR.. Daniel Leo Finucane to-
day called for action on the
Steinle report, which recon-
mended rebuilding much of the
District General Hospital and
changing many of Washing
tons health programs.
II hope this won't be put on
the shelf in a library because
we argue over petty things in
IT," the District health direc-
tor told a meeting Of the Dis
trict Regional Committee Of the
Health and Welfare Council at
the Perpetual Building audi
forum.
DR.. Finucane spoke after a
discussion Of the report by its
author, John @. Steinle, New
York hospital consultant. The
three-volume report cost the
District $4,000.
DR.. Finucane declared, II
wholeheartedly approve Of the
report although I don't agree
with everything in It," He did
not elaborate on the sections
he disagreed with.
The report, released last De-
cember. also recommended that
the private hospitals be utilized
for the outpatient treatment Of
lndigents on the basis Of spheres
Of influence.
DR.. Finucane said that this
would involve many problems,
but that they could be ironed
out somehow.
He added that the Health
Departments recently proposed
expansion Of mental health
facilities here is in line with
the report.

District Commissioner David
Karrick declared that the re-
port has great merit. II indorse
the recommendations dealing
with the building program at

These recommendations call
for additions which would turn
the hospitals three main build
ings into one integrated medi-
cal and surgical unit.
Agreeing with the Commits
sioner, DR.. FinucanL declared,
THE idea is so simple I don't
know why it wasn't thought of
before"
In response to questioning,
Mr.. Steinle said he is not
against the idea of regional
health centers, a long cherished
dream Of the Health Depart
ment.
He declared. however, that
the facilities of the private hos
pitfalls should be tried first. He
noted that in many cities
health centers are not only a
duplication Of effort, but also
are not used to capacity.
William Butcher, executive
director of the Washington
Hospital Council, called for a
revision Of the standards of
eligibility for the medical char
tiles program here.
He said, however, that the
$14.10 for each impatient day
under this program as recon-
mended by the Steinle report,
wouldn't work. ITS only about
half Of the average hospitals
daily cost" he added.

Need Druo,
Doctor Says

A rise in readmissions to st.
Elizabeths Hospital may halt
when the District Health De-
partment gets dts recommended
increased mental health pro-
gram under way.
Tranquilizing drugs make it
possible for more persons to be
discharged from the mental
hospital but the lack Of a fol-
lowup program often causes
many to return, it was said by
DR.. Winfred Overholser, super
intendent Of st. Elizabeths, in
testimony before a House APP
preparations Subcommittee re-
leased today.
The drugs are at best pallia-
tive" DR.. Overholser said.
"They do not represent a COM
plete cure. In a good many in
stances it is necessary. Just as
it is with a diabetic on insulin,
to continue to take the drug"
A number Of persons do not
continue medication and have
to return to st. Elizabeth's.
The readmission rate has in
creased from 14.3 per cent in
the quarter ending March,
1856, to 26.9 per cent in the
quarter ending last December.
A downward trend in the pa
tient load at the hospital began
in 1856 with the advent of the
tranquilizers. But, said DR..
OverholSer. 1T seems to have
ceased" He expects a patient
load Of 1000 during fiscal 1859.
This, he indicated. is nearly the
same as in fiscal 1855 before
the downward trend began.

IAN unreasonable delay" be-
tween arrest and arraignment.
Since several District Court
judges have excluded confess
sions made to police less than
an hour after arrest. Mr.. Gasch
has been bombarded with queS-
tons from police about how
long they can question a suspect
after arrest-if at all.
In yesterdays question-an-
swer session, Mr.. Gasch re-
minded more than $50 head
quarters police that FBI agents
do much Of their questioning Of
suspects before taking them
into custody.
Difference In Crimes
The prosecutor acknowledged,
however, that FBI agents
handle different types of cases
from those confronting local
police daily. One detective
promptly pointed out that a
robbery suspect caught in an
alley after midnight is hardly
in a position for a quiet chat.
ITO the extent possible" Mr..
Gasch said, questioning sus-
poets before arrest could be
helpful. You cannot tell
whether or not it works until
you try it. 1t may be Of more
help than you anticipate. and
no one could say the Mallory
rule applies"
Mr.. Gasch and his assistants
gave answers to more than IS
detailed questions posed by
police Of all ranks. Most Of the
questions conferred on the
circumstances that would make
. confession admissible or in
admissible.
Assistants Differ
At one point two of the as
sistant United States attorneys
differed on an wer-
whether a confession made
while the suspect was under
going blood testing would be
admissible. One Of the assistants
called blood testing an adj
ministrative procedure and re-
piled to the question by saying
that a confession in a course of
taking a blood test would be
admissible. Another assistant
said the prosecution might
have trouble proving to a Judge
that blood tests were part Of
the booking procedure.
This difference Of opinion"
commented Mr.. Gasch, dem
onstrates the difficulties you
fellows face in making on-the-
spot decisions"
Other questions dealt with
fingerprinting, getting hand
samples in forgery
cases, voluntary lie detector
tests, evidence from one suspect
duplicating another during a
two-hour questioning period,

and delays in transporting sus-
poets from outlying precincts.
This was a typical question:
Defendant was found to be
injured when arrested and he
was removed without delay to
a hospital. Would a confession
obtained in the hospital prior
to his arraignment be admis-
sible?"
The detectives were told that
they would have to determine
whether the defendants mental
or physical faculties were i'm

the medical records to see
whether he was under narcotics
or Sedatives. would have to

Foes Renew Efforts
To Block East Front
Move to Stymie
Project Loses
In Senote Vote
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star stan Writer

Senate opponents Of a new
east front for the Capitol today
renewed efforts to block con-
struction by legislation after
failing to Stymie the project in
a money bill yesterday.
Senator Smith, Republican
Of New Jersey, said he was
promised prompt floor. action
on his proposal to lift the con-
troversial shift of the east
wall out Of authorized Capitol
construction programs.
Both Majority Leader john
son, Democrat of Texas. and
Minority Leader Knowland, Re-
publican of California. assured
him his bill would be called for
a vote soon, he said.
But chances for passage
dimmed yesterday before
formidable opposition to a
similar blocking move spon-
sored by Senator Robertson,
Democrat of Virginia.
He failed to rally a two.
thirds vote on the floor to ale
low the Senate to consider a
rider on an appropriations bill.
This amendment would have
barred any spending for the
proposed east front job.
Marble Is Matched
Immediately after his SCENE
was defeated. a group Of
marble experts were matching
samples of stone for the east
wall with marble on the Senate
wing outside the Capitol.
Capitol Architect j. George
Stewart said the men were
proceeding with work already
under way"
He has orders from a con-
gresSional commission, which
numbers Senator Knowland
among its members, to go
ahead with the project to move
the east wall 1915 feet forward.
As a courtesy to Senator
Smith and his anti-extension
colleagues. Senator Knowland
said he would do what he could
in holding up contracts for
the work until the Smith bill Is
passed or defeated.
Architect Stewart commented
that he had no immediate plans
to let contracts. But he made it
clear that he was moving ahead
with work preliminary to con-
tracing.
Rayburn Firm
He has the solid support Of
House Speaker Rayburn, Demo-
crat Of Texas, chairman of the
overseeing commission. So I'M
less the Senate interferes, his
project is considered assured.
Senators Smith and Roberts
son garnered impressive sup
port for their attempts to stop
the project. Senator Clark,
Democrat of Pennsylvania, has
an amendment to the Smith bill
pending on the Senate floor so
other Senators may offer to CO.
sponsor it.
This Clark amendment would
specifically prohibit construc-
ton of a new wall, but allow
repairs to the old. AS written,
the Smith bill would merely
free Speaker Rayburn's COM
mission to proceed or abandon
east front work.
GlVen an opLlon, the COM
mission seemed sure to proceed.
1t has decided already to do
so. And Speaker Rayburn is in
no mood to change his mind,
close observers noted.
The appropriations measure
Senator Robertson attempted
to amend yesterday passed the
Senate late in the day.
1t provided 1892, 900 to pay
police patrolmen for overtime,
as part of the Districts cam
paign against increased violence
on the streets. Also included
was a 100000 item to complete

thorized two years ago by Con-
gress.
