taxicab owners and operators"
Specifically, the legislation
before the subcommittee would
require taxi drivers. owners and
operators to give future proof
of financial responsibility after
conviction for serious traffic
violations. Under present laws.
taxi drivers are now exempted
from this requirement.
Mr.. Kneipp pointed out that
the proposed changes would
not require cab drivers to in
crease liability coverage from
SIS. 000-$10,000 now required Of
them. but that it would be lad
visable" for them to have the
$40, 000-$20,0 900 required Of
other motorists.
The bill amending the pres
ent law on use of parking meter
money would permit the Dis
trict government to use such
funds for making street i'm
provements to improve traffic
conditions near off-street park
ing facilities or bottleneckS
created by lack of parking IA
cilities.
Mr.. Kneipp explained that
there is now about 81 million
in the parking fund.
He said the District would
use part of this money, if the
bill is passed, to build service
lane on the east side of Con-
necticut avenue, between the
5000 and 3400 blocks. Also un-
der consideration is a service
lane on Sixth street at E streer

noted that cars waiting to en-

and promote their own blood
banks. drawing less and less on
the Red Cross bank. The Star
learned today.
The hospitals are expected
to begin their programs July /.
the same day the Red Cross
Washington Regional Blood
Center is scheduled to levy q
$3.50 processing charge on each
pint of blood.
Hospital spokesman said.
however. that an increasing
demand and continuing shorts
ages Of blood are the main
reasons behind their move.
To date. the hospitals sched-
uled to launch their own pro-
grams are Suburban. Alexand-
ria. Circle Terrace. Arlington
and possibly the new Washing
ton Hospital Center and Prince
Georges General Hospital.
Providence and Doctors Hos
pitfalls will merely expand their
present programs. having used
little Red Cross blood in the
past.
Most Of the institutions will
also levy a $3.50 processing
charge on each pint, although
the exact procedure will differ
with each hospital. All will run
non-prof1t blood banks.
Trade for Needs
DR.. Oscar r. Hunter, jr.,
head of Hunter Laboratory and
pathologist at Doctors. said
his Office will make checks
each week with the co-operat-
ing hospitals and keep q file
on the blood supply in each
bank. He said the hospitals
would trade different types Of
blood as needed.
DR.. Raymond Schwartz. chief
of staff at Arlington Hospital.
today issued a notice telling
physicians there that, IAN ade-
quate, constant supply of safe
whole blood must be imme-
diately available to patients
treated in this hospital"
Each staff member, as Of
next Tuesday will be expected
to notify the family of his
patients that blood used must
be replaced. Unless replace
ment is made before discharge,
a SIS per pint fff will be
levied. The amount is stand
ard in this area for professional
blood donors.
Replacement Plan
Replacement may be made
by donations to the hospital
blood bank by friends or rela-
tives or by credit built up for
Red Cross blood.
Replacement will be on the
basis of one donor for each
unit of Rh positive blood and
two donors for each unit Of Rh
negative blood. Should the
patient choose to replace with
Red Cross blood, he or his
family will be responsible for
taking care Of the $3.50 Red
Cross charge.
Major crises in the supply Of
banked blood come during the
summer months and during
holiday seasons. A number of
dthe hospitals have agreed only
to supplemental contracts"
with the Red Cross for blood,
while Providence and Doctors
have no contract.
Before World War II. most
hospitals depended on their own
blood banks. During the war.
however, the Red Cross built
up an extensive blood collection
organization. During the post
war period, hospitals began de-
pending more and more on the
Red Cross and less on their own
banks.
In most hospitals where Red
Cross blood will still be used
extensively, the $3.50 charge
will be levied directly on the
patient and listed on his bill.
George Washington University
Hospital, however, has decided
to increase its routine labora-
tory fee for each patient 81 TO
cover the processing charge.
