HISPTAL PLANS TOLD T0 GROLP Kalorama Citizens Hear Dr.| . W. C. Stirling Outline New Project. A plan to erect a hospital in the | vicinity of Chevy Chase was revealed | to the Kalorama Citizens’ Association by Dr. W. Calhoun Stirling, well- known surgeon and member of the| medical staff of Homeopathic Hos- | pital, at a meeting last night. | The institution would house about | 100 bed units and its rates would be | within the reach of persons of mod- | erate means. No site has definitely | been decided upon and the plans are still in a formative stage. | It is intended, Dr. Stirling said, to make the Homeopathic at Second and N streets a colored hospital when the | new building is constructed. At pres- ent, he pointed out, the Chevy Chase | area is not served by a nearby hos- pital. Two-Bed Units. The institution would be non-sec-| tarian and situated at a central point In the Chevy Chase neighborhood. It would consist principally of two-bed units, each being attended by a nurse, | to do away with the necessity of spe- | cial nurses. ‘The proposal was indorsed by the association in a resolution introduced | by Mrs. John W. Holcombe. Another speaker at the meeting was Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman, who outlined the social security act for the District. Under the unemployment compen- sation act, which becomes effective January 1, employers will be taxed a | small percentage of their pay rolls. | This assessment will go into & fund from which laid-off employes later will draw. One of the principal fea- tures of the measure, Prettyman | pointed out, is the fact that it covers employers of one or more persons, unlike the national and State acts. | Rules to be Made Public. ! Rules covering the new legislation | will be placed in the hands of em- ployers and employes before the first of the year so they may familiarize themselves with its workings. | Other highlights of the meeting were the election of officers and the adoption of several other resolutions, | one urging the appointment of a Dis- trict resident to fill the position of superintendent of penal institutions. Mrs. Anna Kelton Wiley, at whose home the meeting was held, was re- elected president. Other officers are Mrs. Etta L. Johnson, first vice presi- dent; Warren J. Haynes, second vice president: Mrs. Marie H. Heath. sec- retary; George W. Hodgkins, treas- urer, and Mrs. Wiley and Miss Irene Pistorio, dclegates to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. Underground Garages Urged. | ‘The group recommended the crea- tion of subterranean garages. of a self-liquidating nature by payments by users. This plan, it was said, would | alleviate traffic congestion, increase public safety and make the streets more sightly. In another resolution, the essocia- tion expressed its confidence in the “Americanism and competence of the Board of Education, officers and teachers of District public schools,” and urged the “cessation of efforts of some persons and organizations to spread charges that pro-communist teaching is carried on or sanctioned by any authority in the schools.” “Such charges,” the resolution am- plified, “are unproved by any evi- dence on particular cases and seem to be based on a distortion of the stand actually taken by the Board | of Education and its employes.” AIR SAFETY FOUND TRIPLED IN DECADE Record Made Despite Increased Speed, Says Chief Prober for Senate Group. By the Associated Press. | Notwithstanding the recent series of | fatal airplane crack-ups, Senate Com- | merce Subcommittee investigators have | concluded, after a thorough survey, | that travel by air today is “three times safer than 10 years ago.” | Carl Dolan, chief investigator of | accidents and Federal aviation ad- ministration for the subcommittee, which is seeking the basis for new legislation to improve safety in the| air, said this record was achieved despite speed that permitted coast-to- coast flying in one-fourth of the 60 hours required in 1921. | Dolan is laying the groundwork for Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New | York, committee chairman, to preaent' @ safety bill at the next session. He| is assisted by Lieut. Col. H. E. Hart- ney as technical adviser. Hartney was in command of the first pursuit group on the western front, which included most of America’s aces. Dolan said data gathered by the investigators showed 101 fatal airplane crashes since 1927 and that a plane not now made caused 35 of them. “Weather and personnel caused a big majority of the accidents,” he said, adding structural defects were respon- sible for only a few. In the 101 accidents 252 persons were killed, including 110 members of the crew and 140 passengers. T Polar Power Plan Told. ‘Harnessing of the vast power of Polar blizzards was proposed by Prof. F.
