HEW Prods
Hospital Unit
On Site Plan

The Greater Southeast Hos
pital Foundation said today it
is in danger of losing the 20
acre site it plans to use for
tconstruction of a new 25o-bed
hospital. ".
The site was originally turned
over to the Foundation by the
Department of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare in October,
1858, with the understanding
that construction would get
under way in 18 months.
Raymond McDonough, presi-
dent of the organizations board
Of trustees, said he has received
a letter from HEW officials
warning that the site may have
to be taken back unless some
specific plan for its use for
health purposes may be i'm
mediately forthcoming"
The site, at Thirteenth street
and Southern avenue Sc,
formerly was part of Camp
Sims and was declared surplus
property.
The foundation has raised
$3.50, 900 of the Sc million that
is needed for construction. The
groups general membership
last week voted down a pro-
posal made by the trustees that
the assets be turned over to the
Felician Order of Sisters, a
Catholic order operating a
number of hospitals else
where in the country.
Mr.. McDonough said an
emergency meeting of the
trustees will be held Tuesday
with leaders of a Citizens Com
mittee for a Non- -Sectarian
Hospital, which opposed the
move to turn to the Felician
Order.
He said some attempt will be
made to give HEW reason to
extend the deadline for utili-
zation. He noted that outside
help could bring in an addi-
tional 100000 or 100000 and
loans could then be made to
reach So million. This amount
would then be matched by a
So million Federal hospital
grant, he said.

A private citizens group to-
day released a broad plan oi
its own to meet the future wa
ter needs of the Washington
area.
The key feature is a recon-
mendation to employ advanced
treatment methods so Potomac
River water can be completely
purified after being polluted by
towns and industries.
AS a starter, the group rec
commended that a pilot treat
ment plant be built at Dulles
international Airport at Chan
tilly, Va, rather than go along
with the Eisenhower admins
tration'S proposal to build a
sewer line to Washington's
Blue Plains sewage plant.
The group attacked proposals
Tor dams on the lower Potomac,
contending they are unneces-
sary and would ruin the beauty
and recreational value of the
basin.

DR.. Ira N. Gabrielson, presi-
dent of the Wildlife Manage
ment Institute, is chairman OF
the group, which calls itself

industries dumping unpurified
wastes into the waterways of
the basins.
Reduce the silt in the water
ways by requiring farmers and
lumbermen as well as local
governments to comply by
1870 with soil conservation
and reforestation practices.
The idea here is to prevent
rainwater from picking up top
soil as it runs off the fields
into the streams and rivers.
Zone land along the water
ways to minimize flood dam
age.
License the irrigation use
of basin water.
Three Dams Urged
Build three dams at the head
waters to provide water for use
downstream in dry periods until
100 per cent publication of
used water is achieved. The
three dams would be built at
North River Gap near Bridge
water, Va; North Fork near
Circleville, w. Va, and Lick
ing Creek near Needmore, Pa.
The committee said the pow
er of the Army Engineers for
the watershed management of
the Potomac River Basin
should be reScinded. Instead, it
said, a citizens com mittee
shoul be charged with this re-
sponsibility "and have the
power to assess costs for water
on an equitable basis"
The committee plans to sub
NIT its proposal for develop
ment of the basin to the meet
ing today of the Committee of
100 on the Federal City.

Citizens Water PIon Emphasizes
Purificotion, Hits Proposed Dams

Ia number of divergent citizens
groups were taking unco-ordi-
mated steps in planning to
develop the Potomac River
Basin in a manner inimical
to the greatest good of all the
people affected both directly
and indirectly" The committee
said future development of the
basin should involve "a mini
mum amount of destruction to
the scenic, historic and recrea-
tional values"
The 147-page report is the
result Of year Of research, in
GLIDING consultation with ex-
pertS in pertinent fields.
Separate Storm Sewers
Declaring that the key to
providing adequate water for
future needs is cleaning IT after
each use. the Co-ordinating
Committee said Federal, State
and local governments should
enact or enforce legislation to
do these things:
Prohibit raw sewage from any
source from being dumped into
the waterways of the Potomac
and Patuxent Basins after 1875.
To this end, the committee said
the District of Columbia should
proceed to separate it's storm
and sewage sewers within Is
years.
Require that sewage plants in
the Potomac and Patuxeng
Basins by 1875 treat sewage so
thoroughly that 80 per cent of
its poison would be removed.
The treatment should be
stepped up to remove 95 per
cent of the contamination by
1890 and 100 per cent by 1000.

THIS COLUMN was to be a
lance carried by a champion
of Washington (the city. He
hopes it is not shattered.
What set him off was a.,
sneering remark by a New

He said:

There's no denying the
ten-story limitation.

is helping to reconstruct
Southwest Washington with
his Town Center, wants
Washington to burst its

himself in New York on the

Room, probably still is.
He remembers its opening.
Noel Coward was at one
table, Beatrice Lille lady
PeeD at another. They re-
sponded to the master of
ceremonies introduction by
doing an impromptu duet.
Delightful!
And he remembers another
night in the same room and
a French chanteuSe. Both
the press agents and the
writer's for the press agreed
that that word was prefer
able to "Singer.") He doesn't
remember her name but he
will never forget her.
She wore a burgundy
colored gown as simple as
that of the peasant in
Millet'S THE Cleaners" It
was drawn about her waist
by a knotted cord like a
Franciscan monks habit.
She sang "Parlez Moi D.
Amour" and Hands Across

American popular song equal
to the French.

Elections employees.
Mr.. Turner was reported to
be considering the possibility
of asking for a recount if the
official results show he has
been defeated.
Named last January by the
Democratic Central Committee
to fill a vacancy as Democratic
national committeeman, Mr.,
Turner is president Of the
Greater Washington Central
Labor Council.
Members of the Humphrey
group have said that if Mr..
Reeves, an attorney for the
NAACP, is elected. he will be
the first Negro to serve as a
Democratic national commit
teeman.
Mrs. Butcher, an associate
professor at Howard Univer-
sity, received 6,606 votes for
alternate Democratic national
committeewoman. Mrs. Polly
Shackleton, the incumbent and
a member of the Humphrey
group, was second with 5,618
votes. Mrs. Sarah Newman,
the Draft Stevenson Commit
tee candidate, who had been
leading on the basis of some
early returns, wound up in third
place with 4,703 votes.
Mrs. Butcher, who received
6,898 votes for a central COM
mittee post, apparently dis
places Joseph Rauh, who with
6,671 votes, had been at the
bottom of the Humphrey ticket
for central committee.
Ironically, Mr.. Rauh, who
was a vice chairman of the D.
C. Committee for Humphrey,
had been the sparkplug in this
organization and was a leader
in the successful drive to oust
A. L. Wheeler as chairman of
the central committee. Mr..
Wheeler had also served as
chairman of the D. c. Morse
for President Club.
Another twist is that w. John
Kenney, chairman of the D. C.
Committee for Humphrey and
the man being doomed by the
Humphrey forces as the new
chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee, could also
fail to gain election to the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Kenney, who with 6,765
votes had been only one rung
above Mr.. Rauh on the Hum
phrey central committee ticket,
has a lead of only 306 votes
over DR.. c. Herbert Marshall,

THE MOST ANNOYING
one is the habit of natives
and old residents of referring
to the city named after the
father of his country as "the
District"
The District of Columbia
is merely a term for the 10
mile square authorized by
Congress in 1890 in which the
Nations Capital, the city of
Washington, was to be To-
Gated.
The triangle of that square
south of the Potomac ALEX
andria and Arlington
County, was given back to
Virginia in 1846 in an act
that history terms retro
ceSsion.
That has nothing to do
with it.. The city still is
Washington.
But perhaps the ID. C."
initials after the name Of the
city are important.
In yesterdays mail the
Rambler received a booklet
from the Spanish Embassy
on Spanish Foreign Policy
l940-1960." There are those
who think he is capable OF
taking something seriously.

The
Rambler
Is All
For Washington
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler'S ire is often
ignited by those who brag
about the wonderful city in
which we live.
Some call it the capital of
the world.
The truth is that it is not
the Capital of the United
States in three important
respects.
1t is not the metropolis. 1t
is not the financial capital.
1t is not the cultural capital
of the Nation.
But to paraphraSe Daniel
WebSter'S plea before the
Supreme Court in the Dart
mouth College case:
'It is a small city, gentle
men, but there are those who
love it."
The Rambler, although not
a native, hopes that even the
Oldest Inhabitants will real
ize that he is among those
who love the city of Wash
ington.
He brides at the reports
of Metropolitan Washington
Board of Trade population
experts that WaShington's
100000 population (195O CEN
suS) is approaching 2 million
when the suburbs are added.
He fears they minimize.
Just drive into Washing
ton from any direction at 8
am. You will feel sure you
are one of millions.
There are a lot of things
wrong here.

Open at Night

On other points raised in
The Stars series, Mr.. Arata
said he favors:
l. Keeping open major Gov
.ernment buildings and the
Washington Monument at
night.
2. Eliminating fees charged
by guides for tours of public
buildings.
3. Liberalizing visiting hours
for tours. For instance, the
White House now is open only
two hours a day.
Mr.. Arata commented that
last year the sales tax on hotel
rooms alone yielded the city
100000.
In 1858, the total spent here
by both tourists and conyen-
ton delegates was 1857 million.
i think the local government
should spend more money than
1t does to make the tourist
trade even more attractive" he
declared.
He said more attention
should be given to planning
activities for stu
dents. The Star reported that
many students roam the streets
because they have nothing bet
ter to do, and often do not have
sufficient information on what
is going on in town.

at night would be desirable I
think" Mr.. Arata said. "An-
other thing which I think
should be done is better illum-
nation of buildings at night.
1 think the whole shebang
should be lighted"
Mr.. Arata and officials of the
washington Hotel Association
challenged comments made bv
some students about overcrowd-
ing in hotels here.
For years we have put high
school students on a basis of
four to a room" said Hudson
.. Moses, former president of
the hotel association. "I saw
this is not overcrowding."
Mr.. Moses placed part of the
blame for students roaming the
streets at night on the school
CLldpeTOneS.
I know that a great deal of
this problem is caused by poor
planning by the chaperones"
Mr.. Moses said ALSO, If all the
schools would travel with a
recognized tour conductor,
everyone would be a lot better
off," ''''
After Abuses
Both Mr.. Arata and Mr..
Moses said they were aware
OF another problem confronting
the visitor to Washington-
guides who press their wares on
the unsuspecting tourist.
They view this as a difficult
problem, but point out that
the Districts hack inspector
has been conducting a long
campaign against these abuses.
But, as Mr.. Moses said: The
guide business is a seasonal
operation. And too often. it's
