THEN BACK TO ATHENS,

THEN BACK TO ATHENS,
where we saw the King and
Queen enter the cathedral,
and then boarded a small
steamer for the islands.
The Aegean Sea is blue and
sparkling. Byron is right.
The islands are gilded.
We learn that Delos, where
PhoebuS Apollo was born,
once had 100000 inhabitants.
Now onlythe ruins of temples
and a few shepherds and
their flockS.
We go to other small is
lands in the Archipelago.
Some have small modern
hotels. We envy Mrs. John F.
Kennedy, water skiing
through these realms of gold.
We go to Crete where al
most all the stone houses are
whitewaShed and cleaning
in the sun. Then to Rhodes,
with it's great palace of the
Grand Master, a title that
came down from the days of
the CruSadeS.
Now back to Athens for a
trip to Northern Greece
where the mountains are al
most 2 miles high. Many
have monasterieS near their
peaks for the monks of old
quite SenSibly decided that
there is no better place to
glorify God than from a

The tour is over and we

enough to get home for

Hospital Aid for CIV
Approved byHouse
Overrides Gross
On SIS Million
For Addition
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

A bill freeing $2.5 million in
Federal grants for George
Washington University Hos
pital passed the House today
after a 15-minute debate led
by the only vocal opponent.
Representative Gross, Republic
can of Iowa.
Speaker Mccormack spon-
sored the bill, which now goes
to the Senate.
The economy-minded Re-
publican from Iowa took the
floor and demanded to know
why taxpayers from all parts
of the country always had to
pay for District hospitals,
bridges and Stadiums.
How much have we already
spent on District hospitals? he
asked.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, said the
total is $4O.4 million for eight
hospitals, under the Hospital
Center Act promising match
ing grants.
Cites Back Door" Aid
Mr.. Gross complained that
the District already has more
beds per 1000 population than
the maximum qualifying the
city for regular Federal aid
under the Halliburton program.
Disqualified for this money, the
District comes through a kind
of back door for other grants,
Mr.. Cross commended.
Majority leader Albert re-
minded the Iowan that resi-
dents of the Washington met
ropolitan area outside the Dis
trict crowd into local hospitals
but are not counted in the Hill
Burton formula relating beds
and population.
Representative Harris, Dem
ocrat of Arkansas, urged the
same consideration for George
Washington University as had
been given by Congress to other
Washington hospitals.
Mr.. Harris, primarily respon-
sible for winning congressional
approval for construction of
the new stadium by the Ana
costa River, agreed with Mr..
Gross that the Nations tax
payers too often are tapped for
too much money spent in the
Capital City.
The bill finally passed with
out objection.
Reported Out 14-5
The House District Commit
tee brought the measure to the
floor by a vote of IA to S after
postponing action at it's first
meeting on the bill. None Of
the minority members of the
committee spoke against the
proposal on the floor, however.
| An amendment assuring the
Controller General privileges to
audit hospital records was
adopted.
Senate hearings have been
completed. Committee action
soon is expected to lead to SEN
ate clearance.
Preliminary plans have been
drawn for a 100-bed hospital
addition running parallel to
TWenty-second street NV, be-
tween I street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV.
The House today also passed
a bill, over Mr.. CROSS objec-
tions, permitting the District
Commissioners to sell ass acres
along the Potomac River in
Prince William County, Va, to
the county supervisors for an
industrial park.

please don't leave our
neighborhood."
This was the plea the staff of
Northwest Settlement House
heard when District housing
and fire inspectors announced
that the settlement building, at
Sis M Street NV, had to be
extensively remodeled or aband-
oned.
But the cost of the remodel
ing needed to bring the building
up to minimum health and
safety standards was $4,000
and the owners of the property
said this was too much to in
vest in a building in an area
earmarked for redevelopment.
Directors Petitioned
In this situation adults and
children in the neighborhood
were fearful that Northwest
Settlement House would move
outside the area. They presented
several petitions to the North
west directors, urging the
agency to remain in the
vicinity.
Our neighborS reminded us
we had helped raise their chill
dren and grandchildren and
asked us not to leave them"

A special session of the Mary

savings and loan laws will not
be called despite demands for
one at a mass meeting of a

mittee." State Attorney Gen.
eral Thomas B. Finan said to-
day.
They have a darn good law
on the books already" Mr..
Finan said, referring to Mary

lation passed last year. cts
a strong enough law to deal
with the situation" he added.
The meeting, attended by a.
crowd estimated at 800 to 900
persons yesterday at Richie
Stadium at the University of
Maryland, was billed by its
sponsors as "non-political."
However, speeches by several
of the speakers attacked Gov.
Tawes for what they said was
his lack of action in getting eff
fective savings and loan legis-
lation in Maryland before 1861.
Lee Charges Gifts
Delegate Blair Lee III of
Montgomery County, the Ma
honey Democratic candidate
for United States Senator, told
the gathering the savings and
loan law sis necessarily a po-
litical issue"
He charged that large asso-
Citations poured money into
the Tawes campaign in 1883"
and that the Governor was
not about to move" toward
regulation of the industry "un-
til they gave the green light"
This came in 1861, he said.
Gov. Tawes' interest in pro-
tecting the small investor ran
a poor second to his interest
in his big political supporters"
he added.
No Tawes representatives
were present to refute the
charges.

closed associations, is chair

THE LIGHTS were out
when we arrived. The film
was showing the unloading of
Mr.. Hooper'S small English
car from a ship at Piraeus,
the port of Athens. So, while
a bit late, we were in time to
make the entire trip.
Mr.. Hooper was in the dark
on the left side of the stage.
He talked in a clear, audible,
unhurried way with few at
tempts at comedy relief.
The film told the story.
1t was a major production. A
soundtrack provided back
ground music for Mr.. Hoop
er'S lecture and sometimes
recorded the sounds at the
scene.
1t was a responsive audi
ence. nipples of applause
would pass over it-appreci-
ative handclapping-at the
beauties Of the blue water
in an almost landlocked cove
in Corfu, at the arrival of
King Paul and Queen Fred
erika in a long open Rolls
Royce at the Cathedral in
Athens, at the skill of a
Cretan woman making a
blanket Of intricate design
on a hand loom.
Maps frequently shown on
the screen kept the audience
informed as to where we were
and where we we're going.
We started by motor across
the isthmuS into Pelopon-
nesuS to Olympia, site of the
ancient Olympic Games. The
ruins were pointed out by a
young woman archeologist
who had been assigned by
the Greek government to &C
company Mr.. Hooper and

track where the fleet of foot
competed has been laid bare.
