U. 5. Urged
To Broaden
Work in Arts
By CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff writer

Star Staff Writer
The White House has re-
leased a report recommending
that President Kennedy con-
tinue and expand the Govern
ment's efforts in the field Of
the arts.
The report was made by Au-
gust Heckscher, the Presidents
consultant on the arts, and
brought this response from Mr..
Kennedy:
"Your report opens up
what I am confident will be a
new and fruitful relationship
between Government and the
arts"
Along with the report Mr..
Heckscher submitted his re-
signation. noting that he had
expected to serve for only six
month period. He was appoin-
ted in March, 1862.
Accepting the resignation
with regret" the President
said he knew Mr.. Heckscher
desired to return to his duties
with the Twentieth Century
Fund and added: II am CRATE
full for your willingness to stay
on until a successor is named"
Tribute TO Work
The President said that one
of the best tributes to Mr.. Heck
scher's work was the decision to
establish the function of a con-
sultant on a full-time basis. In
his report Mr.. Heckscher urged
this and said:
Detailed day-by-day atten-
ton is necessary if govern
mental operations, often SEEM
ingly unrelated to the arts, are
to be brought to the standards
advocaed by this report"
The President acted last week
to carry out another of Mr..
Heckscher's recommendations.
This was the establishment by
executive order Of a Presidents
Advisory Council on the Arts.
Mr.. Hechscher, in his report,
said that what he had recon-
mended was a permanent policy
giving form to the relation
ship between Government and
the arts" He explained that it
would be a limited policy "since
the Governments role in this
area must always be marginal"
and that his proposals for in
creased Government efforts in
this field were not copied after
European models.
Makes Other Recommendations
His recommendations in
cluded:
/. In addition to the Advisory
Council, the establishment Of a
National Arts Foundation.
2. Steps by the Government
70 increase the number and
worth Of the works Of art it
acquires.
3. Steps to raise and MAIN
tain design standards whether
It be on posters, postag
stamps or public buildings.
4. Changes in the tax laws to
provide ID for more realistic
and equitable" treatment Of the
artist; (2) repeal of the thea
ters admissions tax; 90 ex-
tension Of the 30 per cent CELL
ing on deductible contributions
TO all non-profit cultural insti-
buttons, and "a establishment
as q matter of basic policy
complete tax deductibility for
contributions to non-profit cul-
tllral organizations"
Other recommendations in
cluded revision of the copy
right laws, maintenance Of low
postal rates for cultural ma
terials, equal consideration for
schools and libraries in obtain
ing surplus Government prop
erty, and recognition Of the i'm
portance Of cultural facilities
in public works and community
development programs.
Mr.. Heckscher said the City
Of Washington should be "a
symbol Of the finest in our
architecture, city planning and
cultural amenities and achieve
ments-a symbol in fact of
what the environment Of Demo-
cracy ought to be-"

There were So calls to ele-

Overall, said Chief Winters,
there were 1874 calls in the IS

OF the citizens committee on

order at D. c. stadium. In "a

for police action.
He said that after the
citizens report, the rate of
calls nearly doubled. He said
the increase was lust a matter
Of getting more calls. I think
the conditions are pretty much
the same; I don't think they
are any worse than before the
MacCarthy report" Shane
IMacCarthy headed the citizens
committee for the report.
Chief Winters welcomed the
trend of increased calls "be-
cause we want to do anything
we can to help the schools"
Conditions Unchanged
An analysis of the calls bore
out the police officials conten-
ton that conditions have not
worsened since the MacCarthy
report.
For instance, reports of un-
aggravated assaults went up an
insignificant l/l00 Of a per-
centage point. Since school
began, there has been an aver
age of nearly three reports of
assaults for every five school
days. Fifty-one assaults have
been reported since school be-

Carthy report.
In reports Of larcenies. there
have been only two calls since
January 8, although there were
is calls during the school year
prior to that date.
However, many of the calls
have simply been listed as
complaints" Chief Winters
said this covers a variety Of
situations.
Since the MacCarthy report,
some complaints Of a more
serious nature have been re-
ceived. There were reports Of
a shooting at Mckinley High

Has Big Drug
TubIet Loss

Forty thousand phenobarbital
tablets and 300 sodium nem-
butal tablets are missing from
ID. c. General Hospital.
Although neither is an un-
usually expensive drug, both are
barbiturates. Some persons be-
come addicted to these seda-
tives and their demand for
them may create q black mar
ket for them.
DR.. Murray Grant, the Dis
trict's health director. today
pledged correction Of the drug
handling system at the city
hospital. He said he had at
tackled the problem three weeks
ago and assigned a trained
pharmacist to study the con-
trols, inventories and records of
the hospital.
Figures From Earlier Study
But the figures on missing
drugs came from an earlier
study Just presented to the
District Commissioners by the
Internal Audit Office. The
study covered January to Octo-
Der of 1862.
The report said the hospitals &
outpatient pharmacy could not
account for 10000 pheno-
barbital tablets.
Three hundred sodium nem-
butal tablets could not be
accounted for by the main
| pharmacy.
Over-Age Drugs Found
Over-age drugs also were
found. The audit report said
the outpatient department OF
the hospital does not account
for the serial numbers Of dan
gerous drug prescriptions. that
there were errors in arithmetic
in records and that the hospital
was in some cases using de-
ficienT scales for weighing
drugs.
DR. Grant said he wanted
his own investigator to report
back before April ID with pre-
else recommendations for re-
forming the hospitals drug
handling
lie said he has another group
of employees studying the use OF
machine accounting to mod
ernize drug inventories and
other hospital procedures.

had been stolen from the hos
pital and sold in the District.
