'Extortion' Suit
Brings Changes
At Center Here
Officials of the Washington

Officials Of the Washington
Hospital Center said yesterday
they will eliminate any impli-
cation that they are trying to
"extort" money from patients
who can't pay their bills.
The extortion charge was
made last week by Municipal
Court Judge Edward A. Beard
during a hearing at which the
hospital sought-successfully-
to collect a $102.20 overdue bill.
The charge resulted from
language in a hospital promis-
sorry note form, reading: For
and in consideration of serv-
ices rendered and release of
=, I agreed to pay :"
Called "Unwise"
Walter N. Tobriner, president
Of the hospital board, said yes
terday this language was "un-
wise and unnecessary" and that
it left the clear impression the
patient wouldn't be released
until his bill was paid.
Such is not the case" Mr..
Tobriner said. adding that this
language is being eliminated
completely from new forms to
be issued.
However, both Mr.. Tobriner
and r. M. Loughery. hospital
administrator, agreed that it
would be much easier on the
hospital if patients gave more
thought to being prepared to
pay hospital costs.
They said the hospital has
had to absorb a total of about
100000 in bad debts during
the last 10 years. adding that,
if these bills had been paid, the
average bill to inpatients could
be reduced to about SIS a pa
tient.
Treatment Is First
But both officials made it
clear the hospital provides
treatment first, then talks
about money. And they said
the hospital accepts its moral
obligation not to turn away
any patient, regardless OF his
financial situation.
Too many patients, they
said. come to the hospital with
insufficient disqualification in
surance to cover medical emer-
gen0ies.
And. they added, doctors too
often leave patients in hospi-
tails for a longer period than
absolutely necessary, thereby
increasing the cost Of treat
ment to the patient.
During the last 10 months
the hospital has had to cover
| fS1.044,738 for which direct pay
ment was not received.

that the youths were deprived
of due process of law.
The seven appeared in Judge
Landram's court at Ashland
Thursday. They were not rep
resented by counsel. They en-
tered pleas of guilty to the
charges.
The judge held the five boys
-four Is and one II years old
for grand jury action on
charges of possessing stolen
property, felony. Two of the
youths were sentenced to six
months in Jail for possession of
obscene pictures. The two IA
year-old girls were sentenced
for vagrancy to one year in the
State Farm for Women at
Goochland.
Commenting on the issue
raised about the lack of legal
counsel at the hearing, Judge
Landram said:
Entitled to Counsel
II have not tried those
charged with felonies. The two
girls were sentenced for misde-
meanors. The two boys sent
enced for possessing obscene
materials also were misdemean-
or cases. They admitted having
in their possession packs of
playing cards with pictures of
such obscene sexual practices
that I don't want to talk about
it,"
The boys charged with pos
sessing stolen property will be
entitled to counsel under Vir-

added.

Inside a converted furniture
store near Twelfth and G
streets NV. Treasury agents
are wrestling guns away from
prisoners" making narcotics
raids, testifying at trials.
If passersby are curious about
what goes on behind the empty
show windows at I'll Twelfth
street, they'll get their answer
soon.
The Treasury Department is
literally making q showcase Of
its expanded Law Enforcement
Oficer Training School.
The show windows will be
filled with educational displays
and exhibits about Treasury law
enforcement. For the first time,
the name of the school will go
up on the red brick Colonial
front. And top Treasury officials
will come to an open house to
view what the General Services
Administration has wrought for
them.
Graduates Number $4,000
The Treasury Departments
basic training school for agents
has been going since 1927, has
graduated more than $4,000
students but never had a home
Of its own. In fact. it started
out as a travelling school, with
instructors going from city to
city for two-week lecture
courses.
AS the use Of technical equip
ment in crime detection grew.
it was decided that it was too
costly and impractical to haul
the equipment around the
country. Also. more experts
could be tapped as instructors
If the school stayed put.
The school moved to Wash
ington in 1851 and, by 1855,
was heightened to a six-week
course. Glasses were conducted
in various Treasury buildings
in Washington. The school oc-
cupied one floor Of the Twelfth /!
street building which still
looked like what it had been
before - Sloane's furniture
store.
Occupies Four Floors
Now, GSA has put some
money and labor into the con-
version job. The American flag
hangs from a new f1agpole out
side. The wooden entrance
doors have given way to a glass
front. Walls have been painted
and new floors are being laid.
The school now occupies four
floors and the basement is
fitted as gymnasium to teach
the students the art of self
defense.
The largest of the seven
classrooms doubles as a court
room when students climax
their training by participating
in a mock trial.
At one end Of this classroom
is q one-way glass, looking into
a small room fitted as an Of
flee. Here, the students prac-
tice interviewing witnesses and
interrogating suspects before
the critical eyes and ears of
their fellow students.
Student Gets a Problem
A student alone in the room
may be given this problem:
You're all by yourself on Sat-
urday morning when the phone
rings and a woman with a sui
try voice offers to give you
some valuable information
provided you meet her in Cabin
No. 8 at the Shadyside motel
at midnight and you must
come alone. What do you do?
The student takes the call,
completes the conversation.
Then he emerges from the
small room-sweating slightly
to face questions from his
colleagues. If he agreed to
meet the caller, how is he going

30 WILING
WITH ROD THOMAS

In the beginning this looked
to be an of season for Norman
Titus, what with a damaged
ankle that was slow to heal.
But it's turning out to be quite
different, It's one Of the best,
If not the best in a brilliant
and colorful duckpin career.
With Bethesda 40 Lanes in
the All Star Major District
League, Titus is carrying an
average of l30-20. less than a
point behind the pacemaking
Eddie Owens. In the Metro
All Star Mixed Doubles his
pace is 13l-46 and his average
in all other competition is COM
parable. He's roughly five
points above the general aver
age that earned him the areas
No. / ranking in 1878.
When-he and Kitty Hamilton
take to the lanes at Wheaton
Bowling Center Friday in the
doubles league. Titus will be
gong for an all-time area rec
ord for consecutive 400s. In
his last effort he tied the record
of six held jointly by Fred
Murphy, Pat Crescent and Bob
Miciotto. established in the
District Major League.
His 416 last week earned him
the mems lead in the doubles
circuit. Prior to that he'd
rolled 420. Ala, 412. 40l and
4l9. He and his partner are
tied for the team lead with
Beryl Meyer and Charley Evans
but have an edge in sticks.
Among Titus other achieve
ments this season was a victory
in the tough Bethesda Open.
On Titus heels in quest OF
the mark for 400s is Ralph
Gaddi of the Marchone's team
