Bill to- Add

Washington Hospital Center

a 300-bed convalescent unit.
President Kennedy yesterday
signed legislation extending the
life of the hospitals original

passed in 1916. This had been
scheduled. to expire at the end
of the current session of Con-
greSS.
Hospital Administrator Rich
ard NJ. Loughery said the unit
will be designed for chronic
and elderly patients. Many of
these people are now kept in
regular hospital wards at
greater expense, he said, be-
cause there is no place else
to go in the community"
No money was requested in
the extension bill, Mr.. Lough-
cry said, because the city
wanted Congress first to ex-
press its approval of the con-
cept of the project.

Judge Beard suggested that

Both men agreed and offered
to give $40 each. When

Seen Aiding
BootIeggers

The Saturday midnight
drinking curfew in District bars
helps increase bootleg liquor
sales, the Commissioners were
told today.
In effect, we are supporting
bootleg sales by the early clos
ing law" Mrs. Henry Gichner,
chairman of the special citi-
zens' committee, said.
Mrs. Gichner's comment was
made as she submitted a re-
port on the Districts liquor
regulations by her 11-member
committee.
A major recommendation
was that legislation be sought
to give the Commissioners dis
cretionary powers to set the
hours for drinking on Sundays
and holidays. The Commits
sioners now have authority to
set public drinking hours on
weekdays, but the law forbids
sales of alcoholic beverages be-
tween midnight Saturday and
midnight Sunday.
The committee indicated
today that it is sympathetic to
the idea of extending the
drinking hours from midnight
Saturday to 2 am. Sunday.
Bootleggers are the busiest
from 1870 pm. Saturday to
2 am. Sunday, Mrs. Gichner
said.
The Commissioners took the
recommendations under advise
ment.

One Pier of Aqueduct
To Stay for Posterity

The Corps of Engineers,
builders of the Aqueduct Bridge
100 years ago, are busily tearing
down their handiwork. But they
will leave one pier for posterity,
it was decided today.
At a midstream meeting
aboard an Army landing craft
today, officials of the Engi-
neers, National Park Service,
crew racing clubs and local
historical societies settled on
making a historic marker of one
bridge pier about 30 feet off the
Virginia shore of the Potomac.
Representative Broyhill, Re
publican of Virginia. said he
will consult the National Capt.
tai Park Service to decide upon
a suitable marker for the pier,
on which pretty yellow flowers
now grow.
Maj. Gen. L. j. Lincoln,
commanding general of the
Army Engineer Center. said
that the old pier probably will
be repaired with masonry re-
moved from piers being cleared
from the river.
The results in all likelihood
will please both local historians
and racing oarsmen.
The bridge originally carried
the Aqueduct and Alexandria
Canal from its junction with
the c. g. o. Canal above Key
Bridge across the river to Ros-
slyn and on to Alexandria.
The structure last was used to
carry troops and supplies into
Virginia during the Civil War

Robert Byrd's
Relief Fraud
Probe Lauded
Mansfield Says
Senator'S Work
Led to U. S. Study

Senator Robert C. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia, to-
day was praised on the Senate
floor by Majority Leader
Mansfield for ferreting out
/ freeloaders on District welfare
rolls.
/ Senator Mansfield of Mon
tana defended Senator Byrd
against the great criticism"
he said the West Virginian had
withstood by doing his duty.
AS chairman of the District
Appropriations Subcommittee,
Senator Byrd has MASTER
minded for year a joint Fed
eral and local investigation of
welfare recipients. His studies
have shown 81 per cent of a
sample of $50 aid to dependent
children recipients were ineli-
gible. A study of general well
fare rolls still is underway.
Significant Commentator
The public commentator
from Senator Mansfield was
considered significant. Senate
Democratic leaders, as we'll as
high-placed administration ex-
ecutiveS, have been under pres
sure from some segments of
the Capital City to redirect
Senator Byrd's approach to
welfare.
The majority leader called
Senator Byrd lone of the most
conscientious, hard working
and diligent members of this
body"
He has been the subject of
great criticism because of the
fact that he has attended to
his duties assiduously as chair
man of the District subcom-
mittee of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee.
Not Pleasant Job
Il know that what he is try
ing to do is a good job, a fair
lob and a decent job" Senator
Mansfield added. Il think he
should be commended for the
interest he has shown in The
problems Of the District of
Columbia.
1T is not a pleasant job, but
somebody has to look into the
matters which come to the at
tention of that particular sub
committee, and, in my opinion,
the Senator from West Vir-
ginia is to be complimented :"
Senator Mansfield told his COL
leagues.
He said that a Kennedy ad-
ministration order for Nation
wide examination of local relief
rolls Stemmed from Senator
Byrd'S diligence in the District.
The Health, Education and
Welfare Department is under
taking the study, with State
and city welfare officials, at
the request of the full Senate
Appropriations Committee.
Senator Byrd's computations,
based on sample findings to
date, indicate that $18 million
may have been spent in the
last five years in the District to
support persons unqualified for
relief.
