The five were taken from

kept up commotion, Sheriff
Ball said. He advised guards
by phone to turn a cold water

effect.
Sheriff Ball then authorized
the guards and five deputies
to place tear gas capsules in

They then were taken back

Man DeniedAnnuIment
On Holy Ghost Plea

The husband added his wife
had confessed before the entire
congregation that she did not
have the Holy Ghost in her
when she was married-a re-
quirement of those who marry
members of the Church of God.
However, in the decision
made public yesterday, Judge
Munter turned down the an
nulment request. The judge re-
called that Mrs. Lumpkins, an
active member of the church
for six years, seemed as anxious
for the annulment as the hus-
band. The judge termed her
confession a remarkable de-
velopment."

ECONOMISTS
IN SHADOW OF
BRIGHT VIEW

The rosy picture painted
by visiting economists for
the next decade is a shade
duller for their job-hunt-
ing colleagues.
Some 600 of the econo-
mists attending the annual
meeting of the Allied Social
Science Associations are
looking for work.
There are only 200 posi-
tions available, according
to Finlay Petrie, co-ordi-
nator of convention place
ment.
This is the first time in
my experience that appli-
cants have ranged so far
ahead of Jobs" he said.
About half of the appli-
cants are students getting
master or doctor degrees in
June.

the booming 1960s look
more promising for the Ma
ton than for the people

The
Rambler
:. Checks on
The Dumoge Done
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Hunters call it bluebird
weather and they don't
like it.
When warm sunshine sug-
gests June in January, the
ducks stay out in the bay in
large RATS sleeping. 1t takes
a cold wind to get them fly
ing around and paying visits
to decoys.
Sunday certainly was blue
bird weather. 1t could hardly
happen in late December
north or west of Washington.
What to doP The Rambler
doesn't play golf. Suddenly
he was struck with an idea.
He would see what the con-
struction of the parkway has
done to the strip of wilder
ness along the Gao Canal.
He drove to Chain Bridge
on the Canal road, parked
the car and descended the
steps. There were a few peo-
pie on the towpath, not hik-
ing, Just strolling, and some
had tiny tots with them.
At the pumping station
which pumps water fro~' the
river into the canal, a boy
was fishing-trying out the
rod he got for Christmas no
doubt. He became very ex-
cited and his rod bent almost
double as he reeled in. He
called for his companion who
came running, presumably to
net the fish.
At last, the Ramble.
thought, he was going to see
someone take a fish out of
this muddy old canal. But
what the boy pulled out of
the water was a tin dinner
bucket of the type the Re-
publicans promised to keep
full in the days of Mckinley.
The boys did say that a
man had taken a half-pound
black bass at the same spot
an hour before. Seeing is
believing.

FARTHER ON, HE SAW a

FARTHER ON, HE SAW a
small fish caught. A king
fisher, a beautiful specimen,
dived from the branch of a
tree and came up with some
thing wiggling in her bill.
The kingfisher is the hal
cyon. According to a fable
which goes back to Homer
or further, when it would
nest at sea in the winter, the
waves would become calm
hence halcyon days. Sunday
certainly was one.
There were not many birds.
Once in a great while he
heard some cheeping from
small birds at the tops of the
trees. But as he had forgot
ten to wear his binoculars, he
could not identify them. He
kept his eye open for eagles
which often fly high over the
Upper Potomac but saw only
gulls and a few buzzards. He
also was disappointed that
there were no black ducks or
mallards on the canal or on
the smooth waters of the
Potomac above the dam at
Snake Island. A pair of
cardinals flashed across the
towpath a few feet in front
of him, and that is all this
amateur ornithologist has to
report.
At Lock 5 he met Levi Ben
ner who is 81 and was a mule
skinner on the canal so years
ago. He's from Hagerstown.

costs must be started imme-
diately.
The District government now
pays only $21.20 per day for
INDECENT care. Alexandria pays
only $3.50 to the Alexandria
Hospital.
Arlington County currently
pays $3.50 but its contract
with participating hospitals
expires in February. At that
time the hospitals are expected
to insist on something more
like full cost.
Fairfax County pays a rate
based on rs per cent of cost
with a minimum of $3.50 and
a maximum of $3.50.
Montgomery's reimbursement
rate is based upon a percent
age of costs in some instances
and full costs in others and
ranges from $18 to $26 per day
at present.
Prince Georges County pays
a variety of rates. They range
| from $l4.8O to Casualty Hos
pital up to $3.50 to George
Washington University Hos
pital.
IndigentS Desired
One main reason many hos
pitals accept-and desire-in-
digent patients is because Of
their training programs for in
terms and residents working
under supervision.
Hospital authorities feel that
for the last few years govern
ing bodies have taken the at
titude that the hospitals will
accept lndigentS regardless OF
the compensation because Of
the charitable nature of the in
stitutlons.
More recently the hospitals
have begun to feel they are
forced to adopt a different
policy in fairness to the pri-
vate, paying patient who is
compelled to contribute to
INDECENT care. The hospitals
feel this should be community
responsibility rather than one
placed on the head of the sick
person who is paying his own
way.

lions 10 pay 1ul costs Tor IN
digent hospital care.
Although the letters do not
threaten an outright cutoff of
indigentS by community hos
pitfalls, many persons point out
that Alexandria indigents have
already been refused by hos
pitals outside of that city. This
was done several months ago
because the city council refused
to pay more than $3.50 per in
patient day with hospital costs
soaring above $28 and even
$32.
Probes Under Way
DR.. Henry Grattan Doyle,
president of the Hospital Coun-
Gil of the National Capital
Area, is notifying ali area gov
ernments that the hospitals in
sist that reimbursement for
hospital care rendered tax
eligible INDECENT patients be
made at the cost of providing
such care" DR.. Doyle is also a
professor emeritus of Romance
languages at the George Wash
ington University and formerly
dean of its Columbian College.
The hospitals feel they are
under heavy pressure to cease
levying additional charges on
private patients to pay for in
digent care.
Already at least two congress
sional investigations are under
way or planned to look into
high costs. The Antitrust and
Monopoly Subcommittee, head
ed by Senator Kefauver, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, is looking
into the cost of medicines, and
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, still promises an inves-
tiation into the high costs of
being sick in the District.
Earlier this year the Hospi-
