There's a revolution in hospital
architecture on drawing boards
at Montgomery, Alabama. The
concept involves small honey
comb-like units of plastic and
other materials that would be
light enough to be transported
to war zones or areas ravaged
by floods, epidemics or other
emergencies.
Each floor would be cir
cular, made up of rooms radi-
ating out from q massive central
core. Electronic recording de-
vices in the core would be con-
nected to the patients (who
would sleep during their entire
stay) 20 that checkups on their
condition could be mostly auto
matic-with a consequent re-
duction in the number of doctors
and nurses required.

occupy time periods filled in the past by some
sprightly musical shows.

him last year; this season, it's two half-hour

Under present law, Federal

ton in force.
The veteran contended that
his several years Of military

JOBLESS BENEFITS-The
Senate Finance Committee has
approved a HouSe-paSSed bill
that would speed up unemploy-
ment compensation benefits
for joblesS Federal employees in
many instances.
At present Federal workers
have to wait until their termi-
nal leave benefits are exhausted
before they can start drawing
unemployment compensation
benefits. The pending legisla-
ton would allow prompt unem-
ployment compensation bene-
fits for joblesS Government
workers who work in States
where such prompt payments
are now authorized for private
industry workers.
The bill would cover most
Federal employees in the Wash
ington area, since most en-
ployes work either in Washing
ton (this includes Pentagon en-
ployes for the purpose of job
less benef1ts) or Maryland, and
both the District Of Columbia
and Maryland permit prompt
payments to private industry
employees, without requiring
them to exhaust their separa-
ton pay. Virginia does not
allow jobless payments to be-
gin until terminal leave bene-
fits are depleted.

The victim was identified as

points:
/. No person or organization

such discussion might be inter-

The memorandum noted that
Mr.. Nixon said Immediately

Mr.. Nixon said in April that

DOminicanS Walk Out
BY the Associated Press

A current drop in the baby
crop was attributed today TO
early marriages and younger
motherhood in the 1950s.
However, the Public Health
Service said since there is no
evidence of a trend toward
smaller families, the current
drop in births is not expected
to continue for a long time"
The services national Office
of vital statistics made the OBJ
servation in connection with
estimates that the number of
babies born alive this year will
be 100000 as compared with
4 1892, 900 last year.
1t said an estimated 2,011, 900
live births were registered dur
ing the first six months of 1860,
about 2 per cent below the
2,056,000 in the first half of
1859.
The current decline is prob
ably related to the fact that for
several years now, women have
been marrying younger and
starting their families younger"
the monthly report said.
This means, for example
that many mothers who for

From Mr.. Kusel and his wife

the farm problem.
In the last seven years, the
Democratic nominee was told,
their income "just went down

year they netted between 81 500

particularly the growing friend
ship between Cuba and the
Soviet Union. Prime Minister
Castro has many Latin-Ameri-
can followers; Dominica n

most ministers are likely to
back away from any outright

and no such move is antici-
pated.
But diplomatic observers are
predicting a strongly worded

attempts to intervene in the

could be indicted-either ci-

ton which has direct links with
Soviet communism.
Dictatorship Charge
Cuban Foreign Minister Raul

such a. charge. He told the
ministers last week that the
Castro government is following
its own independent line and
is not a satellite of anybody.
