NEW YORK.-Here's a
man who doesn't think the
New York theater Is dying.
He's unwilling to believe that
the Broadway situation is
calamitouS; he isn't ready to
pack UP and leap into the
Caspian Sea, or to rush off
to New Caledonia and hide
himself in the wildS.
No, he's right here In the
theater's front line and so
he will remain. He's fighting
the all-devouring production
costs and feels that he's
making Roadway. He brought
in his most expensive show
for $4,000 by watching
every detail (the total might
have rocketed to half q mil
lion).

Snowman who Is also an OPP
timist-Harold s. Prince,

born and q graduate Of the
University Of Pennsylvania.
He is now represented by "She
Loves Me-" as producer and

"Well make a nice profit
on this one" he said over

What interested me about

Hearings Set
For Tuesday

A House District subcommit-
tee will open hearings Tuesday
on the administrators legisla-
ton to authorize construction
Of a rapid rail transit network
lin the washington area.
The proposal Is to build q
downtown subway and eight
surface rail commuter lines al
q cost Of about $79S million.
The first witnesses at next
Tuesdays hearing win be rep
resentatives of the National
Capital Transportation Agency
which drafted the transporta'
ton plan.
Tied IN with the authoriza-
\ ton legislation for the rail net
work Is the controversy oven
the fate Of the Districts high
way construction program.
In submitting the Legislative
proposals, President KENNEDY
urged that construction Of thu

Hospital step designed to
change the hospital from a
poor mans facility into a truly
community hospital.
It may also remove certain
inequities in the departments
care programs for expectant
mothers and newborn and
young children. At the present
time, a child can qualify for
care without a means test, but
an unborn child"-that is, a
pregnant woman-must have a
low income to qualify for care.
Billing All Patients
Elimination Of the means
tests for admission to D, c.
General would not open the
door to free care for everyone.
Under one plan that has been
considered, all patients there
would get q bill-and then, If
they had low incomes, could
apply to have the bill partly or
totally paid for by the District.
1t is known that DR.. Grant
does not like the word "free."
He has told friends that even
if a low-income patient is hav-
ing his bill paid by the District
he should get a bill showing
the expenses incurred.
Such a procedure would also
provide greater control over
costs at the hospital.
Means Test Rule
At present, the hospital adj
mits emergency cases without
a means test but most other
categorieS of care require a
means test before admission.
Much of the reorganization
is designed to streamline the
department, a source familiar
with part Of the plan said. The
source said that DR.. Grant, who
took office last year. found a
department resem bling q
sliced-up octupus, as far as or
ganization is concerned.
The reorganization may also
lead to a number of new post:

Purpose of the hearings

Gated, could be better utilized
in other jobs.
The shake up is the result
Of many studies DR.. Grant ini-
tiatsd as soon as he took his
post last year.
The study reports have piled
high in DR.. Grants office in
the past several months as he
pored over them and prepared
recommendations.
In streamlining the organiza-
ton, DR.. Grant may ask for a
realignment of the many citi-
zens' committees and councils
that report on health.
It Is believed that maternal
care in the Districts clinics
If available to all-would help
the District lower its relatively
high level Of infant deaths al
birth.
Another major feature Of the
reorganization, a source said
would be the expansion of the
departments educational &C
tivities. Many programs in the
past have been hampered by a
lack Of publicity by such media
as posters on buses to reach
mass audiences.
Educational Problems
Other District health prob
lens, such as high venereal
disease rates, are at heart edu-
cational problems. In past
years, lectures at schools and
churches have been limited by
the few health department
personnel available for this
work.
The recommendations Of DR.
Grant have been reviewed b
officers Of the United States
Public Health Service and ap.
pear to have their blessings.
Key men on the House ant
Senate District Committee
have been following their de

In testimony today Jack
Shulman, who said he repre-
sented the Tawbia block group,
called for approval of the plan
and inclusion of area A. "The
grim rot that would follow a
rejection Of area A from the
plan is inevitable" he said.
Mrs. Elsie r. Alsherg. who
identified herself as having
formed the Mintwood Place

supporter Of. the preliminary
plan for the area. said she OPP
posed scattered site public
housing because it would defeat

nary plan ito re-establish and
create q residential neighbor-
hood Of high quality with q
sound and lasting value"
Mary E. French, q member
of the Champlain street block
group, supported renewal and
called for "the assurance Of
public housing or the oppor-
tunity to relocate in decent pri-
vate housing"
Support for Scattered Site
Christine McNair, president
Of the Champlain group, said
her members regretted "the
loss Of two sites originally des-
ignated for public housing,
but are gratified by the posi-
bility of additional units
through the scattered-site pro-
poSal."
Edward c. jackson, president
Of the Euclid street. Ontario
road block group, urged APP
proval of the renewed plan
with deliberate speed" He did
not mention scattered-s site

I"more middle-income housing
