Drayton, chairman of the Hospital Presidents’ Committee, has estimated that 3560 cared-for pa- tients certified by the Central Auditing Bureau for Hospitals and 10,000 pre- matal, syphilis and other clinic visits during the first two months of the | eurrent year remain unpaid, and it is for this deficit contributions are asked The city has been zoned into nine sections, with headquarters at each of the hospitals.

EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBU | ago, Eleanor Jarrett Defends Cigarette And Champagne By the Assoctated Press KANSAS CITY, April 30.—Cham- pagne and the cigarette were defended stanchly here today by Eleanor Holm Jarrett, the pretty swimmer wliose so- cial activities aboard the liner taking the Olympic team to Berlin last year caused her suspension. “I never had a drink or smoked a cigarette until 1932," she said as she sipped a cocktail, “and I'm a darned sight better now than I was five years I don't believe in overtraining. That's a sure way to go stale. A glass of champagne now and then and a cigarette keeps me relaxed.” Here for an exh'bition, Mrs. Jarrett insisted the best American swimmers today are professionals—then pointed out that “in Chicago last week at the amateur swimming championships not a record was broken.” HE EVENING STAR, CLUBWONENFEAT COURT PROPOSALS Members Ballot Six to One Against Program of President. | By the Associated Press. berta Campbell Lawson, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, informed the annual council meeting today that a national mail poll showed club members voted six | to one against President Roosevelt's Judiclary program. The result of the poll was announced as the council neared a formal vote on a statement of principle opposing the President’s plan.

She said 113 women's c'ubs reported & majority of the membership in sup- port of the proposal while 1,468 clubs— or 92.9 per cent—reported a majority against. Mrs. Lawson rapped repeatedly for order at a council meeting last night as Senator Burton K.

Cheers greeted mention of Presi~ dent Roosevelt’s name by Assistant Attorney General Joseph B. Keenan, who spoke in favor of the reorganiza- tion plan. Keenan urged the change “to put the court on an even keel again.” Senator Wheeler called upon the club women to pass the resolution TYRANT'S WHIM!

They want a transfusion of blood that matches their own.” But, said Keenan: “Every one agrees nobody can re- 8pect the court today and that unless we can do something within a com- paratively short time to put the court on an even keel again—make it | nearer one general attitude of mind— | the court never will regain the re- | spect of this generation.” Earlier an official attending the | council meetings said a private check | convinced her the resolution would pass.
