DEATH HATE CUT
Health Officer Responsibility
Cited in Issue on Hospital
Control.
This is the third of a scries dis
cussing principles involved in the
proposal for transfer to the Health
Department of control over the
hospitalization and medical care of
the indigent, now vested with the
Board of Public Welfare.
BY DON S. WARREN.
“Since the health officer carries re
sponsibility over public health con
ditions, and must meet criticisms
against prevailing mortality rates and
the incidence of disease, he should
be given direct control over municipal
hospital services.”
This is one of the arguments moet
frequently offered in support of the
plan to transfer to the Health De
partment the jurisdiction over Gal
linger Hospital, the Tuberculosis Sana
toria and the medical charities.
Advocates of the change predict
there would be greater continuity of
medical services, fewer delays and
more efficiency in public health and
hospitalization programs if Health
Officer George C. Ruhland were given
command over the whole situation,
acting under the Commissioners, in
stead of but part of it.
Those holding this view argue that
the change would eliminate oppor
tunities for "buck passing,” which
they say exist under a system which
leaves the health officer as the "po
licing” power in public health but
places the control of operation of
the hospitals In the hands of super
intendents who report to the Board
of Public Welfare.
Collin* Upheld Charge.
Chairman Collins of the House
subcommittee in charge of the 1938
District supply bill, subscribed to this
view during the appropriation hear
ings when he stated: “All of the Army
hospitals are under the medical de
partment of the Army, and all of the
naval hospitals are under the medical
department of the Navy, and the Vet
erans’ Administration medical facili
ties are under the Medical Corps. All
the other Government agencies have
their hospitals under the medical di
visions of those agencies, except the
District of Columbia. In the District
they are under civilian heads, and
it seems to me the medical associa
tion could more properly run the hos
pitals."
Ross Garrett, director of the Central
Admitting Bureau for Hospitals, an
agency set up by the Community
Chest, several years ago to facilitate
handling of applicants for free care
or part-payment care at the hospitals,
is one of the active sponsors of the
change. While discussing the merits
of the proposal itself, he interjected:
*'Dr. Ruhland probably will find him
self in an embarrassing situation next
year or later if the situation as to in
fant mortality, the death rate for tu
berculosis and the prevalence of com
municable disease is not improved,
for he is being given larger funds for
the public nursing service, for labora
tory work and for the first of the pro
posed medical centers.”
Hospitals Added.
Garrett adds:
“When the municipal hospital set-up
was placed under the jurisdiction of j
the Board of Public Welfare, the now j
existing, augmented facilities of Gal
lmger Hospital, the Communicable
Disease Hospital as an extension of
Gallinger, the Children's Tuberculosis
Sanatorium at Glenn Dale, and the
soon-to-be-opened Adult Tuberculosis
Hospital at Glenn Dale, were not in
existence.
"Likewise, the population of Wash
ington was not at its present level;
likewise a progressive and modern
Health Department did not exist. The
Health Department, now equipped to
do an active job, might better handle
the specific problems of health and
hospitalization than the Department
of Public Welfare, with its added re
sponsibility over relief, old-age as
sistance. foundlings, penal institutions,
home for feeble minded and so forth.”
Advocates of the change point to
the 1928 report of the late Dr. Paul j
Preble, a surgeon in the United States |
Public Health Service, for support. I
This study proposed creation of a
Department of Health and Hospitals,
with a director of health in charge.
There would be a Bureau of Health,
which would have an advisory board,
but the current proposal does not pro
vide for this advisory agency. The
Preble plan also proposed designation
of a Bureau of Hospitals to operate
under the director of health, and this
bureau likewise would have an ad
visory board.
Many of the proposals in the Preble
plan, such as development of a public
health nursing bureau and construc
tion of a contagious disease unit at
Gallinger Hospital, have come into
existence.
Communicable Disease Care Vital.
‘'Responsibility for the control of
communicable diseases is logically the
function of the Health Department,”
the Preble report stated. "The care
and treatment of those who have
contracted communicable diseases be
comes equally as important as meas
ures Intended to prevent the spread
of infection. * • * If additional fa
cilities for the treatment of com
municable disease are provided at
the municipal hospital under the ad
ministrative control of the director of
public welfare, this divided responsi
bility over patients afflicted with com
municable diseases—under the health
officer if treated at their homes, and
under the director of welfare if given
hospital treatment—should not be
permitted to jeopardize municipal ef
forts to control these diseases."
Advocates of the change also point
to the suggestion of Dr. Preble that
some economies might be achieved
In the consolidated operation of the
ambulance services of the welfare
agencies and the Health Department.
The Preble report also stated: "This
hospital division would assume re
sponsibility for all medical relief pro
vided under municipal auspices. It
would provide hospital care to all per
sons entitled to the same, whether re
ferred by the Health Department
proper, the Board of Public Welfare
or other city agency. The proposal
undoubtedly will meet with opposition
on the part of those who contend that
all medical charities are proper func
tions of the welfare authorities, on
the ground that indigency is the de
termining factor. Under the plan,
the Board of Public Welfare, of course,
would continue its non-medical re
sponsibilities, referriiK all who re
quire medical relief the hospital
authorities, and by (¥olIig *° ^is board
would fulfill its obligations.”

GRANTED DIVORCE
De Onate Admits Senator Pro
vided Money for Their
Support.
fcfv the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. April 3.—Ellen
McAdoo de Onate, 21, daughter of
United States Senator William Gibbs
McAdoo and granddaughter of the
late President Woodrow Wilson, ob
tained a divorce yesterday from Rafael
de Onate. 40, an actor, on a charge of
non-support.
She and her husband both testified
in her contested divorce action that
they were supported during their mar
ried life by Senator McAdoo.
To Mrs. De Onate's charge of neglect
and non-support. De Onate countered
that McAdoo induced them to go to
Europe after their marriage in 1934,
preventing him from obtaining film
employment.
The young wife testified her husband
often left her alone at night and that
when he returned he ''usually was
slightly intoxicated'' and ‘‘used abusive
language.”
Wilson's daughter. Mrs. William G,
McAdoo, divorced wife of the Senator
and Ellen's mother, denied she in
fluenced the De Onates to go to Eu
rope. Asked if the Senator objected
to the marriage, Mrs. McAdoo said:
"The Senator told me that if she
loved him (De Onate) he would not
prevent their marriage.”
"It was Ellen's idea to go to Europe,”
Mrs. McAdoo testified, "and I thought
it was a good idea. too. because of the
newspaper publicity, which was very
annoying.”
"It seems to me the defendant is an
able-bodied man.” said Supreior Judge
I. W. Bull in granting the decree, "who
could have found work of some kind
during his nearly three years of mar
riage.”
Mrs. De Onate did not ask and was
given no alimony, but De Onate was
ordered to pay *25 a month toward
support of their son, Robert, 2 years
old.

HUGHES DEFENDED
BY DR. WALSH
*
G. U. Vice President Cites
“Mutilation” of Text of
Court Comment.
A defense and explanation of Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes’ now
famous remark that “the Constitu
tion is what the judges say it is”
was made by Dr. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. J„ vice president of Georgetown
University last night in his weekly
lecture on the Supreme Court.
Dr. Walsh had declared that the
Supreme Court has an “inescapable
duty” of interpreting the constitu
tionality of enacted statutes and,
without power to nullify, it would be
no more than a "debating society.”
“The Constitution cannot talk,” the
Georgetown educator said. “I wish
it could at present, for I suspect we
should hear much revealing commen
tary.
“The voice of the Constitution has
been committed to the judiciary, not
to the legislative or executive depart
ments of government. Every attempt
to impersonate that voice is ventrilo
quism, which is usually booked as a
vaudeville act not worthy of the legiti
mate stage.
Remark Often Misapplied.
“Hence it follows that the law Is
what the Judges say it is,” he added.
"That remark of Chief Justice Hughes,
who was only repeating John Mar
shall, has frequently been distorted
and misapplied. It has recently been
invoked as a flippant expression of
arbitrary power residing in opinion
ated Judges.”
Dr. Walsh declares that the phrase
has gone the rounds among "high
personages who, I hope, were unaware
of the flagrant misuse of a truncated
and incomplete sentence, torn bleed
ing from the body of its context and
mangled into an alleged criticism of
the Judicial function."
What the Chief Justice actually said
in a speech at Elmira, May 3, 1807,
when Governor of New York, was
quoted as:
“I have the highest regard for the
courts. My whole life has been spent
in work conditioned upon respect for
the courts. I reckon him one of the
worst enemies of the community who
will talk lightly of the dignity of
the bench. We are under a Consti
tution, but the Constitution is what
the judges say it is, and the judiciary
is the safeguard of our liberty and
of our property under the Consti
stution. I do not want to see any direct
assault upon the courts nor do I
want to see any Indirect assault upon
the courts.”
Cites Deceptive Censoring.
By putting a period after the cita
tion where none was before. Dr. I
Walsh said, an entirely deceptive :
interpretation is given of Chief Jus
tice Hughes’ argument.
The frequent use made of the
mutilated text, he said, "has done
much to lessen public confidence jn
the reasons alleged in support of
the present proposals to remake the
Judiciary in a more recognized image
and likeness.”
While the Supreme Court is not
at liberty to surrender or waive the
"inescapable obligation” imposed upon
it by the Constitution. Dr. Walsh
said, “it has no mandate to inquire
into the motives, good or bad, under
lying an act of Congress.
"Both the knowledge and the good
faith of legislators must be assumed
and their intentions are not open to
investigation by the court,” he re
minded. "Nor can the wisdom or the
expediency of congressional enact
ments be questioned by the Supreme
Court * * * Remedy for unsound legis
lation lies in the Legislature, not with
the court.”
Dr. Walsh will speak again next
Friday evening in Memorial Conti- j
nental Hall.

of Clifton Forge. Va., who is also judge of the City Police Court,
city relief administrator and president of the Virginia State

WODEHOUSE DISOWNS
“JEEVES” AT COLUMBIA
It's Another “Gentleman's Gentle
man" Who Goes Through For
tune Racket Experiences.
rpWENTIETH CENTURY-FOX is
fooling the people. This is not a
particularly harsh indictment, how
ever, for such tactics represent nothing
more than a time-honored Hollywood
custom, do not constitute a cardinal
sin. and are affable chicanery.
Up at the Columbia, the men in the
booth are unreeling several times each
day a celluloid item entitled. “Step
Lively. Jeeves." It’s about a pair of
confidence men who decide to put a
new twist on the old Sir Francis Drake
fortune gag by producing a made-to
order heir, and Jeeves. English "gen
tleman's gentleman," is chosen as the
favored one. The catch Is, as some
put It, that people are being led to
believe that this Jeeves is Mr. Wode
I
I house's Jeeves, which he isn't—being
j Just another valet named Jeeves.
To be sure, Arthur Treacher is the
perfect Jeeves—even the perfect Wode
house Jeeves—but Mr. W. had nothing
to do with the story. The “con" gentry
bring the masquerading ex-servant to
! the U. S. A . tackle an ex-beer baron
I gone “society” with “shake-down” in
j their eyes, find ready response to their j
suggestion that a small outlay for
establishing title to the Drake fortune
would reap amazing returns. A girl
reporter and boy friend expose the
scheme, but their threat to print the
story helps “con" men and Jeeves out
of a ticklish situation, because Mrs.
Ex-Beer Baron doesn't want to lose \
her new' social standing.
Treacher. Patricia Ellis, Robert Kent,
Allen Dinehart and George Givot per
form capably. There is enough fun for
any one except the Wodehouse addict 1
—he'll wonder what it's all about—
