Unit in House
0Ks Transfer
0fFreedmen' S
Teaching Hospital
Added to Howard
Appears Probable
~ OOAAAN ANACAAG w n
Star Staff Writer

A major advance in local
medicine appeared possible to-
day with the approval by the
full House Education Commit
tee of a proposal to transfer
Freedmen's Hospital to Howard
University.
The bill. which carries with
it the authorization of a new
500-bed hospital, has been
killed repeatedly in past Con-
crosses.
But with the committees
action today, the way was
apparently cleared for the de-
velopment of the hospital as a
teaching facility under the
management of the university's
medical school.
Proposed by Commission
The proposed move was
based on a recommendation
made six years ago by a spe-
cial commission appointed by
officials of the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
The commission recommended
that the hospital be developed
along the lines OF the leach
ing hospitals now maintained
by George Washington and
Georgetown Universities.
The bills failure in the past
was due to the objections of
employees at Freedmen's who
will lose their civil service sta
tus once the hospital is trans
ferred to the university.
This year. however, differ
ences were largely worked out
when university officials prom
iSed full protection to employees
if the transfer was effected.
Backed by RibicOff
The merger proposal-which
now goes to the House floor
was strongly recommended
this year by Secretary of We'll
fare Ribicoff. Secretary Ribi-
coff bluntly called the present
hospital "a dump" and added
that the university could not
become a great institution
without operating a teaching
hospital for its medical school.
The bill is expected to pass
the House and no opposition
has yet materialized in the
Senate.
Recently, Senator Hum
phrey, Democrat of Minnesota,
advocated the measure.

Police said the whales in

small boat was overturned at

Spokesman for the Demo-
cratic and Republican national
committees disagreed sharply
today over how drastically the
machinery for electing Presi-
dents should be changed.
Democratic National Chair
man John M. Bailey stood by
the present system of giving
the entire electoral vote of a
State to the party mastering a
majority of the popular votes.
Representative William E
Miller, of New York, Republi-
can chairman, favored repeal
of the winner-take-all system
and adoption of the Mundt
plan under which each State
would choose its presidential
electors as it picks its congress
sional delegation.
Back the BEST for Party"
This would require a State
wide vote for only two electors,
who would represent the
States Senate seats. The re-
naming electors would be cho-
sen by the voters in their own
districts, as House members are
elected.

To Seek TuIks
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy gave final
instructions to his disarmament
adviser today for a new round
of negotiations with Russia on
setting UP an international dis
armament conference this
summer.
The President was under
stood to have told disarmament
chief John ]. McCloy that he
should make every possible ef-
fort in talks beginning at Mos
COW Monday to work out ar
rangements for a new East
West meeting on this issue.
Mr.. Kennedy's meeting with
Mr.. McCloy and Secretary OF
State Rusk was one of two
major foreign policy sessions
on his calendar today. The
other was a late-afternoon
meeting Of the National Sc
curity Council repeatedly called
to deal with plans for meeting
Russia's threats against West
Berlin.
The last such meeting on
Berlin came two weeks ago
At that time Mr.. Kennedy told
Mr.. Rusk, Secretary of Defense

be pushing the system that
would be best for his party
Mr.. Bailey conceded the pres
ent system tends to give "ex-
traordinary weight in choosing
the President to certain groups
in the population-specifically
large urban a.eas."
The Mundt plan, favored by
Mr.. Miller, would give the rural
areas a better break and
thereby reduce the voting
power of the big cities. ASSum-
ing that the Democrats are
stronger in the big cities, the
Mundt plan would help the
Republicans.

Both national chairman gave
their views in testimony they
will present today to the Sem
ate subcommittee considering
a variety of constitutional
amendments affecting election
laws.
Echoing a view expressed by
President Kennedy early this
year, Mr.. Bailey said he would
support repeal of the constitu-
tional provision which permits
electors to bolt their party
ticket, as a few have done in
recent years.

The President got a tremen-

down the porch steps to shake

Polio Cases Low,

The Public Health Service
reports "a remarkably low
level" of polio cases in the
United States so far this year
But it cautions against over
optimism.
There were 237 polio cases in

four times as many in the first

Preparations are underway
for one of the most important
animal births ever recorded at
the Washington Zoo and a mo-

The center of attention is
Moka, an 8-year-old, 240-

around August Is or it might

Only three other gorillas have

in Basel, Switzerland, and one
of them died almost immedi-

Few human babies will re-

planned for the coming infant.
A woman with experience
at handling infant apes has
been designated to take over
the baby gorilla if Moka is un-

$268 Million Bill

At the moment, the Districts
budget for the current fiscal
year is 1858 million. 1t has
passed the House, is in the
hands of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee and is subject
to change.
Otherwise, it is still some
thing of a mystery. 1t is
balanced but carries within il
the gamble that Congress will
pass some tax bill this sum-
mer. And it also assumes the
District Commissioners will
boost the real estate tax.
But these matters bothered
the House little yesterday as
the budget rolled through after
two hours of desultory debate

Editorial Comment
Renew The Fight For Freedom

Chanukah is holiday celebrating a
noted fight for freedom by our ancestors.
Today this Festival of Freedom sounds
note of caution for the aware citizenry
where growing conservatism in politics
is being tinged with the fanaticism of ex-
tremists from the far right
Senator Goldwater, whose ancestry can
be traced to those ancient fighters of
freedom in the Holy Land, too, has led the
conservative movement in Arizona with
a vigor that has won him national promi-
nence.
No matter where you stand politically,
the honesty of purpose of Sen. Goldwater
must be honored. But there is a history
of the attraction of extremists on the
fringes of conservatism.
There have been these recent develop
ments in Arizona which must bear care
full watching:
The Arizona post., 1961-12-08

The John Birch Society, a group of
right wing reactionaries, has been solidly
established in Arizona with a strong nu-
cleus in Phoenix.
The Black Muslin Society has moved
into Phoenix.
When Phoenix held it's municipal
elections recently a party of right wing
extremists, using the cry of "Commu-
nist! entered a slate of candidates. The
party was defeated in the elections, but
not before it had shouted its accusations
against many prominent persons, includ-
ing Sen GoldWater.
There is a danger to freedom when
such groups, which attack under the
guise of the right of free speech and con-
denim by the method of association and
accusation without basis, can grow in
strength.
We can only be vigilant and hope that
the light of our Candles of Freedom will
spread throughout the land.
