B—8 «x WELFARE LEADER PLAN FUND PLE Senate D. C. Body to Be Asked to Add $1,360,000 to Amount Set. Humanitarian policies of the District will rest in the hands of the Senate District Appropriations Subcommittee this week or early next week, as Board of Public Welfare officials plead for increases totaling $1,360,000 in the pending supply bill with which to com- bat hunger and suffering in the next fiscal year. The committee will be asked to re- store slashes made in Budget Bureau estimates for welfare by the House and in addition increase the allotment for public assistance by $1,000,000 so that aid may be extended to so-called unemployed employables and their families. As the appropriation bill now stands, it was pointed out, the District will be compelled to continue through the next fiscal year its current unyielding Ppolicy of refusing any relief to families in which there is an able-bodied wage earner who cannot find a job. Backed by Citizens’ Body. In this request Welfare Board officials will have the support of a Citizens’ Committee appointed at a mass meeting several weeks ago where District taxpayers voted to agree to a reasonable tax increase if that was found necessary to carry on an ade- quate relief program. Restoration of economy slashes in the budgets of the Tuberculosis Sana- toria and Gallinger Hospital will oe urged upon the committee. The House refused to allow funds for employment of 10 additional employes at the Tu- berculosis Hospital although the item had the approval of the Budget Bu- reau. It was stressed that with the opening of the new adult sanatorium at Glenn Dale work of the already overburdened staff will be greatly in- creased. The House also refused to allow Budget Bureau estimates for the em- ployment of 13 additional nurses, five nurses’ aides, two attendants and five ambulance drivers for Galinger Hos- pital Increase in Patients. Need for the additional employes is | clearly revealed by the fact that while | an average of 836 patients were cared | | for daily at the institution last year, its average now is well over 900 each day, and throughout January more | than 1,000 patients were under treat- | ment | Rising food prices and other costs | will necessitate increases in the oper- ating budgets of both the hospital and the sanatoria, the committee will be told. An appeal for calm judgment of the ‘Wwisdom of the action of the House in abolishing the Receiving Home for Children will be made before the Sen- ate committee which will be asked to restore the $38.000 item for that in- | stitution. The House allowed only | $11,000 to care for dependent and de- | linquent children who now are housed | at the Receiving Home. This amount would be entirely inadequate, the Sen- ate committee will be told If the Receiving Home is to be abolished that action should be delayed until next year when an adequate program for carrying on its work could be worked out, the committee Wwill be informed. Sees Wage Cut Restoration. Restoration of $103,880 cut from Budget Bureau estimates for the Dis- trict Workhouse and Reformatory will be sought. The money is needed to employ 25 additional guards and to | construct buildings outside the walled group. Even if the additional guards are allowed there will be 13 prisoners for each guard at the institution, it was pointed out. limination of the House amend- ment providing that only 10 per cent of relief funds may be used for per- | sonnel will be fought for in the Sen- | ate. It has been pointed out that the present staff of approximately 200 | Public Assistance Division workers is | entirely inadequate and that the House provision would compel the dis- missal of approximately 40 persons. | An inadequate staff of case workers results on inefficiency and in waste of relief funds through the impossi- bility of making thorough investiga- tions of applicants, it was said. ‘The Senate Committee also will be asked to kill a House provision placing all auditing and disbursing activities of the Public Assistance Division under the District auditor. It will be contended, it was learned, that the | provision calls for auditing by the auditor of his own work. Fund for Pensions. Elimination of a House provision limiting personnel expenditures in the | Old-Age Pension Division to $32,265 Wwill be sought The Senate committee will be asked to restore Budget Bureau estimates calling for personnel ex-| penditures of $50,000. In addition, the committee will be asked to allow an additional $54,000 for distribution in | the form of old-age pensions. | Welfare Board officials will ask the | Senate committee to kill a joker in| the bill which places budgets for the tuberculosis sanatorium and Gallinger Hospital under the Health Depart- ment. The budgets were transferred when the House attempted to trans- fer jurisdiction of hospitals to the Health Department. A point of order killed the transfer proposal in the House, but through an apparent over- sight the hospital budgets were left under the Health Department. Sun Bathing Co-Eds Restricted. SYRACUSE, N.

It or- dered 33 companies in 18 States to discontinue practices which it said have created a monopoly. | Some officials expressed the belief this action might illustrate one way in which the Government could dis- | courage price increases in the durable €00ds industry. President Roosevelt criticized the prices six weeks ago, and Attorney General Cummings later sug- gested the Trade Commission might proceed against steel companies for making identical bids. The Justice Department has in- investigated what officials said were “hundreds and hundreds” of cases of identical bids, but no prosecutions were undertaken. Attorney General Cummings reported no evidence was found warranting action. He explained many companies used the same cost accounting systems and figure bids on the same basic costs. .
