SEND A KID TO CAMP
Boy Steers Straight
After Shoky Start

Tommy was passed around
like a piece of secondhand
furniture after his parents died
several years ago.
The 12-year-old boy is the
youngest of 10 children. His
orothers and sisters tried to step
in, but money trouble and
growing families of their own
made the boy just one more
burden.
He knew how they felt,
Resentful, he turned to
friends on the streets for the
feeling of belonging that his
dutiful, struggling relatives
couldn't provide. Even if it
meant joining in dangerous
escapades, Tommy stuck with
the gang. 1t was better than
nothing.at all.
Then a relative here decided,
no matter how great the sacri-
flee, he would not let Tommy
fall into delinquency by default.
He made a place for the boy in
his overcrowded home.
After a shaky start, Tommy
is on the right track. A trou-
blesome student at first, he is
praised now by his teachers. He
is finding the place he longed
for in his new home.
But camp is out Of the ques-
ton, unless adults who care
give him this chance for an
other giant step.

HospitoIsCut
lndigentA
ForArIington

Four Washington hospitals
today cut off Arlington County
indigentS from further hospi-
talization until the county
boosts its reimbursement rates
closer to actual costs.
William Bucher, executive
director of the Hospital Coun-
ell for the National Capital
Area, confirmed that Airing
tons Superintendent of We'll
fare John G. Howell has been
officially notified.
: The hospitals taking the ac-
tior are the Washington Hos
pital Center, George Washing
ton University, Childrens anc
Freedmens.
Increase Offered
Recently Arlington offered
the hospitals contracts at $19.5C
per patient day, a 81 increase
over the past year. This Was
because Virginia agreed to re-
imburSe the counties up to
$9.75 instead of 1925 per pa
tient day.
One year ago Washington
hospitals took similar actor
against Alexandria because the
city refused to pay more thar
$3.50. At the same time the
Hospital Council announced q
three-year program designed tt
obtain full costs for all INDECENT
patients.
At present the District pay
$25 per day, Montgomer!
County $26, and Fairfax $23.5C
until January /, when the rate
will go up to $26.
Comparable Rates Asked
The hospitals, which say
they are losing $4,000 per veal
on Arlington indigents, tolc
the county they must have
rates comparable with Other
Jurisdictions, with full costs ir
the next two years.
Recently the Hospital Coun-
Gil went to the Arlington Coun-
ty Board with it's plea fol-
higher rates but to date the
board has taken no action tt
change them.
Mr.. Bucher pointed out thai
the losses incurred by the hos.
pitfalls on INDECENT patients
must be made up by the pri.
vate, paying patients who are
often hard hit financially
themselves during illness.

3,000-MiIe Hike

Britain's tireless walker, DIR.
Barbara Moore. slowed down
long enough to pick a dead bird
of the highway.
In her dust along Route so
on the way to Winchester, Va,
yesterday were picture snappers
who couldn't get her in focus
before she was out of it, and
two painting reporters.
For one hour (four miles)
there was a gasping struggle
for communication.
In sentences as fast-paced
as her 3-foot strides and
thick with the accents of her
Russian homeland, DR.. Moore
murmured Soliloquy for au-
tomobile- struck animals as she
laid the bird to rest beside the
road.
"Ah, so many killed. I pick
so many of the road. Little
pussy cats. Turtles that go so
slow. They are easy to miss
but people don't want to. 1t
pains my heart too many times.

reminders of third-degree sun

Her iron-like body is small

withstood sun, rain, sleet, snow,
hail, being hit by cars and 56
years of eating raw fruit and
vegetables.
Her 3,000-and- d-then-some-
mile jaunt from California to
New York with a detour
through Washington is a great
study" she says.

you have for walking. Three
thousand miles for my special
endurance test in conjunction
with diet research. And such
a way to see the United States .
Waving to the people who
lined the road ribboning
through Virginia apple lands,
she said with obvious satisfac-
ton, Such unsophiStication."
Never I think people are
like that here. In Hollywood

When she isn't walking

lives with her sculptor husband,
Harry Moore, outside London.

HE CARRIED OUT similar
instructions last year in re-
gard to the first 49-star flag,
which was presented to the
Senators and Representative
from Alaska.
But there was the little
problem Of hosting 1,100 flags
for members Of Congress whose
constituents had requested it.
It's something like the Post

tive stamps Cancelled where is

ticed what was going on-well,
hardly anyone.
But this year the Architect
Of the Capitol has more than
5000 flags to fly. Philip L.
Roof Of the Capitol Architects
office estimates that flags will
be going up and down on the
west front Of the Capitol well
into the afternoon.
The flag-raising assignment
has been given to the Capitol
police. Thrice e n temporary
stats will be in place.
Mr.. Roof estimates that it
will take about three minutes
to get each flag up and down.
That is optimum performance.
If that rate could be main
tained the job could be fin
ished in 10 hours, or by about
10 am. But Mr.. Roof is too
much of a realist to go along
with that.
I'VE are going to use two
shifts" he said, land we hope
to finish by 4 pm, but it
might be much later"
Mr.. Roof was not sure how
it had all started. Perhaps it
was the Liberty Loan drive in
World War I when the flags
that had flown on the Capitol
when war was declared on
Germany, April 6, 1917, were
auctioned off.
For years we used to get
requests from Legion posts for
the tattered flags that had
been retired from service" he
said.
Finally we ran out of used
flags and the, members ordered
new flags for their constitu-
ents."

The
Rambler
Sings oh, Soy,
Can You See?'
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


Should you pass the Capitol
Of the United States on Inde-
pendence Day and notice flags
going up and down like crazy,
don't be disturbed.
It's only another of those
screwy things that could hap
pen only in America.
Monday will not be an ordi-
nary Fourth of July. 1t will be
the first day that the National
Ensign with so white stars on
the field of blue will be flown
officially.
The first flag to fly over the
Capitol, raised at 1901 am,
fittingly will go to Hawaii as a
matter of law.
House Joint Resolution 546,
passed on March 80, reads:
Resolved by the Senate and
the House Of Representatives
Of America in Congress Assem-
bled that the Architect of the
Capitol is hereby authorized
and directed to present to the
Senators and Representative
in Congress from the State of
Hawaii the official flag of the
United States bearing so stars
which was first flown over the
west front of the United States
Capitol, for presentation by
such Senators and Representa-
tive to the Pacific National
Memorial Cemetery in Puo-
waina (PunchbowD in honor
and memory of the men and
women of Hawaii who made
the supreme sacrifice in the
defense of the United States
of America"
These simple and explicit di-
rections are no problem to j.

of the Capitol.
