The Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions closed its 1927-1928 season last night with another tumultous debate ov:" the proposed transit merger. A resolution introduced by George R. Wales, designer to put the federa- tion on record as indorsing the House District committee’s favorable report on the pending merger legisiation, started the verbal pyrotechnics which resulted he finally in the commitment of the pro- 1 to a speclal committee for con- sideration. The committee will make its report at the next federation meet- ing in the Fall. ‘The argument on the resolution lasted for more than an hour. At one stage of the proceedings several delegates made a bitter attack on William McK. Clay- ton, chairman of the public utilities committee, charging him with exceed- ing the instructions given him in re, resenting the federation before col mittees of Congress during consider: tion of the merger plan. Names Committee of Five. B. A. Bowles curtalled further debate by moving the appointment of a spe- clal committee of five members to con- sider the Wales resolution during the | Summer recess of the federation. It was adopted by a vote of 38 to 21 President James G, Yaden appointed Bowles chairman of this committee. ‘The other members are Willlam G. Henderson, Prank Van Sant, Fred S. | Walker and David Babp. Willlam A. Roberts, vice chairman of the public utilities committee, charged that the men named had been associat- ed with the merger proponents and that not one representative of the group who supported the federation’s plan of merger had been placed on the com- mittee. The federation adjourned im- | mediately, however, and there was no discussion on this question. i Babp opengd the attack on Clayton | and accused him of advocating the ex- | clusion of the Washington Rapld Transit Co. from the proposed merger in his testimony before the House Dis- trict committee, although the federation had voted in favor of the iInclusion of the motor bus concern, Waves Statement. Clayton insisted that he did so as an individual and not as a representa- tive of the federation. George C. Havenner subsequently criticized Clay ton and waved a statement which he sald the utilities chairman had submit- ted to the Senate District committee which contained views on the merger not sponsored by the federation. “This statement contains 19 points and the federation merger me(rnm listed only 12 points,” declared Havenner. “What “(Continued on Page 3, Column sy FRODUCED BY The Evening Star To further traffic safety will lie shown tomorrow along with the regular program at The Palace Thea.. 307 9th Street N.W, Loy D. . HEALTH PLAN WILL BE ANALYZED | City Heads to Study Sugges- tions Made by U. S. Ef- ficiency Bureau. The District Commissioners plan to make a careful study and analysis this veek of the comprehensive plan for modernizing the public health service, | as outlined in a voluminous 318-page | report filed with them yesterday by the | Pederal Bureau of Efficiency. A five-year program of reorganiza- | | tion and expansion of the Health De-| partment is the outstanding recom-| mendation in the report, which was pre- | pared for the Efficiency Bureau by Dr. | | Paul Preble, surgeon of the United | States Public Health Service, in ecol- | laboration with eight experts in vari- | ous departments of that service. It rep- resents the results of the most exhaus- | tive survey ever made of the Health | Department. Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Efi- , in his letter of transmit- tal accompanying the rcmfl. called particular attention to what he de- scribed as the significant conclusion presented by Dr. Preble in his sum- | mary. Find Service Inadequate. It read: “When the present resources and activities of the District Health Department are compared with the pted standards of mod- ublic health practice, it is be- lieved that sufficient evidence has been offered in the several sections of this report to justify the conclusion that the health service now provided for the most important municipality of the Nation is decidedly inadequate and in- nc;l_l’-;luzl," e only remedy to apply to this con- dition, Dr. Preble pointed out, is a five- year program for a reorganiza- tion and expansion of the Health De- partment personnel, services and ex- penditures which will practically dou- ble the present program. This he re- gards as essential in order to bring the District health program to the mini- mum standard required by modern pub- lic_health practice. ‘To carry out this program the report proposes a gradual increase in annual appropriations over the five-year period from $350,000 In 1926 to $650,000 in 1932 or 1933, In addition, it stresses the need for special appropriations for a new communicable disease and for additional facilities for the ‘Tuberculosis Hospital and for the care of women and children, Other Proposals. Dr. Preble also proposes the organiza- | tion of a division of popular health edu- | | cation; a plan for better co-ordination | of the statistical, nursing and medical services; the establishment of a divi- sion of public health nursing great increase in this service; the elim! nation of much of the present work of the division of sanitary inspection by relegating most of it to other depart- ments and the substitution of a profes- slonal Krogrnm of public health sanita- tion; the creation of a bureau of hos- pitals and the transfer to it from the Board of Public Welfare of all munici- pal hospitals, ambulance service, medi- cal service to the poor and the com- plete revision, modification and codifi- c?unn of the health laws of the Dis- trict. Under such a plan the Health De- artment would become the bureau of ealth, administered by the health of- ficer, and all hospitals and hospitaliza- tion facilities would be combined to form a new bureau of hospitals in charge of a medical director or super- intendent. Both bureau would be su- pervised and co-ordinated under a qual- d rector of health, who, in Cor n Page 5, Column 5.

With investigations of Washington being made right and left, during and | between sessions of Congress, the Johns | Hopkins Press has just completed the | printing of a 942-page volume on “The | District of Columbia—Its Government Iand Administration,” published as cne | of a serfes on Government administra- | tion by the Institute for Government re- search. While there have been many | works of an historical nature on the | District and Washington, this volume | stands as the first detailed analytical | study of the distribution of govern- | mental functions, as found in the Capt- tal City. William Tindall, W. B. Bryan, Wal- ter F. Dodd and others, as well as papers prepared for the city’s historical | associations, have made valuable and outstanding contributions toward the Capital’s history and the description of its government. But the present vol- ume occupies a fleld of its own in its manner of taking up in minute detail the various phases of the | and unique governmental machinery | under which the Federal City is main- | tained. The work is in no sense criti- | cal, although there are occasional | flashes where criticism is implied. It is intended as the first of two volumes, the latter to point out some of the eaknesses, as well as the merits, of yet to be decided. Three Years’ Work.
