SEND A KID TO CAMP
2 Night Wanderers
Observation-Disclosures

Pete and Bobby's day starts
when their mother leaves for
work late in the afternoon.
Eleven and l2-year-old night
owls. the boys go out and
roam the streets, sometimes
sleeping in garages, sometimes
on park benches.
Even though another rela-
tive has come into the home to
help care for them, they man
age to elude her and go back to
their favorite haunts.
Their mother claims she
can't control them. Separated
from her husband, she finds the
responsibility for the children
distressing, and looks the other
way when faced with decisions
on their care.
The boys have escaped seri-
Gus trouble so far. but this may
not always be so.
They need interested adults
who care about them as much
as they need a normal. whole
some routine. Camp can give
them these things. Although II
days are all too short. the boys
would find counselors there
who could provide the guidance
they do not get at home.
Camp would be the perfect
haven for these little wander
ers. Your gift to The Evening
Star Summer Camp fund can
send them there.

A whole series Of unexpected
problems has plagued the Wash
ington Hospital Center since
its grand opening three months
ago.
Not only are the problems
psychologically annoying to the
staff. but the Center's chief en-
gineer estimates that about
$4,000 has had to be spent in
the fight so far.
When Emergency, Episcopal
and Garfield Hospitals merged
into the Center, the institutions
president. Charles S. Dewey,
said You'll never find three
finer groups of technicians in
worse workshops. Now you'll not
find finer technicians in a finer
workshop"
But as far as the people who
work and live in the $24 million
Center are concerned, their
new workshop" has been as
troublesome as their old hos
pitals may have been made
quate.
IN some respects" one doc
tor said, we're like a large ship
making its shakedown cruise.
And we're finding the cruise a
little rougher than we ex-
pected."
None of the hospitals prob
lens has proven tragic.
For instance:
When the Center was built
about so mercury vapor lights
were installed in the 47-acre
area. These were to illuminate
the large parking areas (capac-
ity l,l00 carS) and driveways
that lead up to the different
hospital entrances. Faulty elec-
trical cables, however, blacked
out all lights. necessitating that
all the old cables be dug out
of the ground anad new ones
put in.
Above each Of the center's
800 beds is a two-way loud
speaker box installed in the
wall, through which a patient
can speak with a floor nurse.
Faulty design. and careless
ness by staff and patients un-
familiar with the new "gadget"
has resulted in about $50 of the
intercoms breaking down.
The center installed 146 au-
toclaves (sterilizers) through
out the hospital. These were
the newest type, only on the
market for three years. Most
personnel did not have previous
experience with them. and as
a result, an annoying number
of the autoclaves have broken
down.
Each bed in the hospital can
be raised or lowered electron-
ically. A flaw in the beds man
ufacture, not noticed prior to
delivery, has caused about 20
beds so far to fail to function.
All that was wrong was a
threaded nut that stripped per-
Sistently.
To facilitate sending supplies
from one part of the hospital to
another, system of pneumatic
tubes was installed. Again un-
familiarity was a bugaboo. En-
ployeS failed to follow instruc-
tions and the tubes became
clogged up on many occasions.
One tube took the maintenance
men a full week to clear.
1t is virtually impossible for a

the grounds. The signs that will
eventually direct people were
late in arriving (they finally
came last week. and as a result
the only marker on the grounds
was a small hand painted sign
barely visible, directing people
to the emergency entrance.
Originally the hospital
planned for buses to come al
the way up to the front door Of
the main entrance, but enough
road room was not provided ir

buses to maneuver. AS a result
some sidewalk had to be

YESTERDAY at luncheon,
George seemed to be about
to deliver a hot tip. He said:
"The admission of Alaska
into the Union is going to
bring about the biggest boom
in the history of the flag
business. Think of 1t, the
Army, the Air Force, the
Navy, the Marine Corps, the
Coast Guard, the National

gion Post and all the posts
Of all the other veterans
organizations, viii have to

the millions of patriotic

There's a fellow in our
office who has it all figured
out. He says that practically
all the flag-pole flags are
made by six firms and one
of the largest of them is a
corporation whose stock is
traded on the American
Stock Exchange"
We all asked in unison:
whats the name of this
corporation?"

A NEW ORLEANS business
man, George Lehleitner, well
verSed in American political
history, is credited with Sug-
gesting the successful ma
neuver. 1t was the "Tennes-
see plan" 1t seems that in
1896, or thereaboutS, the
Territory of Tennessee sent
its selections for the Senate
and the House to Phila-
delphia, to take their seats
when Tennessee was ad-
mitted to the Union. They
were william Blount and
Andrew Jackson. They lob
bied for the admission Of
Tennessee for veral
months, and when that came
to pass, they took their seats
in the Congress, Blount in
the Senate and Jackson in
the House.
Alaska sent two provisional
Senators and a member" of
the House to Washington
after a general election. They
are Ernest Gruening, former
territorial governor; william
A. Egan, a grocer, and Ralph
]. Rivers. a lawyer. The last
was designated for the
House. They proved very
successful lobbyists.
Everyone welcomes Alaska
into the Union. The new
State with little more than
100000 population will have
two Senators and a Repre-
sentative, and the District
of Columbia with $4,000
population will continue to
get along without repreSen-

ST. Million More
The budget total now stands
at ST. million over appropria-
tions for the fiscal year which
ended at midnight Monday.
Congress already had passed
an emergency resolution allow
ing continued operations of the
District Government in the
1859 fiscal year which began
yesterday.
Principal points to be ironed
out between House and Senate
conferees involve these Senate
increases:
The Federal payment, SIS

warehouse and shop, 81, 1856 900;
public schools, $207, 900; public
welfare, 10000, and public
health, 1912, 1854.
The $1.8 million allowance
for the warehouse is 28,00C
less than city officials esti-
mated it would cost when they
appeared before Mr.. Rabaut's
subcommittee about q month
ago. They reduced their esti-
mates before the Pastore SUBJ
committee.
A principal item of increase
voted by the Senate for public
schools is to provide "a elemen-
tary teachers at $138,600. City
officials had asked for 4S
teachers to bring the pupil
ratio closer to the goal OF
80 to /.
The total for schools in the
Senate bill is $3.965.900.
Funds for Hospital
Major items in the increases
for public health apply to Dis
trict General Hospital. The
committee said:
"The increased allowances oi
$118,630 relates to urgent
equipment replacement items
at District General Hospital
The additional $105, ,324 for i'm

The Washington Board of
Trade will place special en-
phasis in the year ahead on
bringing entirely new business
and industry to the Metropoli-

Victor o. Schinnerer, new
Board of Trade president, to-
day said a study is under way

business and industry the area
needs for a balanced economy.
This survey is also some
thing of a market analysis

Mr.. Schinnerer. who took

example of the new approach
a survey which indicated a need
for a cracker and biscuit firm.
The survey was sent to about
100 firms and one Of the con-
Germs contacted now is believed
ready to establish such a busi-
ness here.
Research Field Surveyed
The Board of Trade also is
making a study to determine
what kind of research agencies
can be located here.
I'VE believe this area has a
tremendous advantage for re-

I'VE hope to bring with new
research facilities many sup

Mr.. Schinnerer forecast that
within 10 years local develop
ment groups in the area would
find it necessary to band into
a Chesapeake regional organi-
zation embracing all the area
from Baltimore to Norfolk. He
also predicted a tremendous
industrial growth.
In its meeting yesterday, the
board of directors recommend
ed that the District govern
ment create its own planning
agency and that the role of the
National Capital Planning
Commission be limited to site
selection for Federal buildings
in the metropolitan area.
The recommendation also
urged that the Metropolitan

Everyone was talking about
Alaska yesterday and every
one seemed pleased that
seward's folly had made the
grade and become a State.
George selwyn OF the tele-
phone company was one Of
them. George will possibly
be remembered for his part
in one Of the most amusing
news photographs Of 1857.
George was a colonel in
the District National Guard.
He retired some months ago.
The picture was the one of
the hundreds taken of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's second
inaugural that made the
front pages all over the
country.
There was George leading
his unit, the 260th Anti-Air-

was a black and white fox
terrier type of dog keeping
step with him. And there
was the President laughing.
