Use HOSPITAL SUPPORT HELD INADEQUATE Childrens’ Must Revert to Membership Method, Board Is Told. ‘That Childrens’ Hospital cannot be completely supported by present con- tributions of the Community Chest, the Bureau of Public Welfare and private donations and that a reversion to the old plan of card appeals and sustaining memberships must be re- sorted to was stressed at the sixty- sixth annual meeting of the Hospital Board late yesterday, at which nine annual reports were read. “The hospital does not run itself, it is 85 per cent supported by charity,” declared Charles D. Drayton, acting president. “Therefore, we are plan- ning & dinner in February to adver- tise the need of the hospital and in- duce public spirited citizens: to re- member us.” Children’s Hospital is growing in its work for humanity more rapidly than humanity is responding in furnishing the means necessary to maintain a financial balance,” Thomas B. Swee- ney, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, reported. Sweeney added the Community Chest has acknowle edged its inability to make both ends meet for the hospital and has given permission for a return to personal charity appeals for aid in the form of dues paid by patrons, sustaining members, associate members and con- tributing members in decreasing amounts. Number of Beds Reduced. Although a deficit of $15,000 was created during the last year by the hospital, even this figure represents curtailment of expenditures by re- ducing the number of beds used from 184 to 150, O. H. P. Johnson, chair- man of the Finance Committee stated. A decrease of 134 in the number of patients treated, made possible by the development of Gallinger and Freed- man's Hospitals to take care of chile dren, leaving Children’s to care for emergency cases, was reported by Mattie M. Gibson, superintendent. Miss Gibson also mentioned that 6,193 patients were treated during the year, an average of 133 a day. She also praised support of a dental clinic by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Dis- trict Dental Society, the new X-ray equipment, now half paid for, and the sewing and visiting done by the ‘!Ad!es Auxiliary of the Fire Depart- | ment. | ‘The Social Service Department has | had 2,828 patients referred to it in the past year from wards, dispensary | and 29 outside agencies; has made 1,- 476 visits and has opened 267 inten- sive cases, according to Lucia Murchi- son, director, in her report. 10 Meetings Held, ‘Ten meetings have been held by the medical staff of the hospital “at which monthly reports on the work of the hospital have been read, analyzed and discussed with & view to maintaining the high standard of medical and surgical service to the sick and crippled children of Washington,” it was an- nounced by Dr. Frank Leech, chair- man. Dr. Leech also reported that committees have been appointed from time to time to survey certain situ tions; one to consider the establish- ment of & child guidance clinic. Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke, president of the Board of Lady Visitors, re- ported “the splendid checks from the Thrift Shop and generous special gifts of members of the ladies’ board have enabled us to substantially improve the equipment of the hospital in general and, specifically, to give a $1,000 piece of laundry equipment.” Caroline Sweeney, chairman of the Child Welfare Committee, stated in her report “approximately 14,000 in- fants and pre-school children are seen in our center each year.” In spite of epidemics of whooping cough and measles, the attendance at the Children’s Country Home was only slightly under that of last year and, at present, intensive work is being done by the home’s medical staff on contagion, Mrs. Phillip O. Coffin, president, stated. Robert B. Swope, chairman of the Building Committee, announced the completion of a new laundry and heating plant for the hospital. Five-Year Directors Named.

OOK stores of the Nation sell no road maps for the political detours on Capitol HillL Lying ahead of the 110 new Senators and Representatives, like a motorist’s nightmare, are those in- evitable hazards of the early road to statecraft: Legislative bogs. Quagmires of precedent. Stop signs of seniority. And s if- these weren't enough, there remains a dozen minor dis- tractions to plague the suffering mind of the freshman lawmaker—even after doorkeepers learn he belongs and admit him to the debm.nz chambers. Mysterious bells clang through the corridors of the Capitol as if 100 oppo- site party pixies were turning in false fire alarms. The neophyte who stuffs cotton in his aching ears will live to learn he has missed & trio of roll calls and three opportunities to get his name in the Congressional Record. For his sake, these bugle calls of the House are listed: 1—A teller vote. 2—Yea and nay roll-call vote. 3—Call of the House, no quorum. 4—Adjournment. 5—Recess. The Senate system is even more confusing and the 15 new legislators must tune their ears to these silence blasters: 1—Yeas and nays. 2—Call of the Senate. 3—Open executive session. 4—Adjournment. BISHOP SEES PERIL OF “RED” REVOLT Catholic Conference Warned to Be Prepared for Detroit Clash in Few Years. BY the Associated Press. DETROIT, December 8.—Right Rev. Michael J. Gallagher, Bishop of Detroit, warned the annual Confer- . | ence on Catholic Family Life here yes- terday to “get busy” to avert the possi- bility of “s red revolution within three or four years,” in Detroit. “We are in danger” within that period, the Bishop said, adding that he based his warning on detectives’ testimony before a United States Senate committee investigation of strike-breaking, on information from Catholics who joined Communist or- ganizations &5 observers, and réports from other sources. “If we don’t look out the Com- munists may seize the city and start a red terror,’ Bishop Gallagher told his audience at Marygrove College. He said communism breeds in households which have strayed from the authority of the church and where “lack of religion and disrespect.- for God and Government is rife.”” JTON, uu—m Yoll..l.l.

But, there is one smooth stretch in the wilderness—the tireless attendants who stand at cloak room doors and give breathless late-arriving Repre- sentatives a tip on how the parties are voting on a roll call—“Democrats vot- ing yea,” or if it's the other side, “Re- publicans voting nay.” This is the one time when the new- comer can take his brain out of gedr and let it coast. BROWN STRESSES INADEQUATE FORCE Police Superintendent Tells Dupont Circle Citizens of Department Burden. Washington’s “under-manned” Po- lice Department has many extra duties to perform in policing the Nation’s Capital, Ma), Ernest W. Brown, super- intendent of police, told members of the Dupent Circle Citizens’ Association yesterday afternoon at & meeting held in the Mayflower Hotel. With & few more than 700 men, Maj. Brown said, he had to patrol the streets of the city, furnish presiden- tial details, details for embassies, the Capitol, when Congress is in session; for Government functions, and aid in policing around some of the Govern- ment buildings. The personnel, he said, is 1,366 men, including the offi- cers, With the policemen having one day off a week and 26 days’ annual leave, it leaves slightly more than 700 men for daily duty. Cites Population Gain. PFifteen hundred privates are needed to police the city adequately, since the population has increased 26 per cent in the past three and half years, while the personnel of the Police De- partment has increased only 2 per cent over the same period, the police superintendent continued. Citing crime statistics, he said juve- nile delinquency has been reduced greatly by the establishment of boys’ clubs in various sections of the city. Questioned concerning the estab- lishment of a group of citizens vested with police power to enforce traffic laws, Maj. Brown said the District Commissioners are not authorized to give a private citizen police power and the citizen would face possible civil sult should the case be dismissed in court. 1,500 Privates Requested. A resolution was adopted by the association asking the Budget Bureau to include enough funds for the Police Department to increase its personnel to 1500 privates. William Floyd Crosby was appointed to appear before Budget Bureau and the Appropria- tions Committees of the House and Senate in behalf of the resolution. President Demarest Lloyd announced | the election of W. Herbert Gill as treasurer of the organization and the | following committee chalrmen: Taxa- tion, Lioyd; Zoning, Col. Frederic A.
